Luke Vibert
This Falmouth, Cornwall, England-based DJ has recorded under several pseudonyms, the most famous of which is Wagon Christ. Like his friend the Aphex Twin, with whom Vibert is a near-neighbour, this is another artist interested in pushing the possibilities of electronica, despite his musical origins as a drummer in a punk band. Vibert was first attracted to the possibilities of dance music in the late 80s. Another bedroom experimentalist, he recorded a techno album for Rephlex Records (as Vibert And Simmonds) before joining the Rising High Records roster shortly afterwards. Vibert released two disparate Wagon Christ albums for Rising High; 1993's ambient classic Phat Lab Nightmare, and 1995's hip-hop workout Throbbing Punch. Confirming his reputation as an artist who refuses to limit himself to any single style, Vibert released sample-heavy solo material for Mo' Wax Records and also inaugurated the drum 'n' bass project Plug. He returned to the Wagon Christ moniker for 1998's Tally Ho!, before collaborating with the UK's leading steel-guitar player B.J. Cole on Stop The Panic. He switched to the Ninja Tune Records label for 2001's Wagon Christ set, Musipal. Vibert has also undertaken remix work for Nine Inch Nails, Pitchshifter, Moloko, Howie B., and Meat Beat Manifesto.
