Fantastic record label 
The Warp20 (Box Set) looks good.
I was friends with Richard James (Aphex Twin) at college. He was a lovely bloke, spent much of his time holed up his breeze-blocked bedroom, surrounded by weird musical gadgets and wires. He used to record and sample pretty much every kind of noise - the sound of his combat boots kicking the wall was the main drum sound in one of his Xylem Tube EP tracks on R&S. We made a couple of tunes together, but I've no idea whether they were ever released or not.

You bugger. If you'd posted this thread a couple of days ago, I'd have done the same. I just pre-ordered it for £100 + £6 postage! The cut-off for discounts was 5 July
He used to live in the old Bank of Cyprus in Elephant - had a huge vault which he made good use of!

Got loads of rare stuff on that label - he recorded loads of Rephlex releases at college, early Caustic Window releases and stuff by Mike Dred (Kosmik Kommando)

Went to Koko's last saturday saw Plaid, Luke Vibert, Clark, Tim Exile & Grasscut. f***ing magic mate, Luke Vibert was playing lots of old acid 303 808 stuff.
Been living in Kentish Town for about 4 years, where in East London are you? Hackney?

tfso!
just had a dig through my old records, got quite alot of his stuff. caustic window was the best , also think he had something to do with joyrex. joyrex j4 was a classic. analogue bubblebath was a quality ep

Am in South East London these days, near Woolwich, couldn't be arsed to change name on here. Used to live in Forest Gate, near Stratford. Spent a few years in Kentish Town, too, funnily enough. Whereabouts are you?
Bet that gig was ace, mate. I love the 303, that's what I loved so much about some of Aphex's early stuff on Rephlex - the 303s, 808s and 909s on the 'Universal Indicator' EPs on Rephlex were awesome

Oh, the Joyrex EPs were f***ing mental! I've got most of them on vinyl, great squelchy acid breakdowns. Those were the days

Yeah I knows it.

whaaaaat
love warp ...
and yeah viberts making some amazing stuff these days, check his black mustang guise too.
and R&S are back in business - so to speak - they released a couple of radioslave bits last year but they have now signed a band from manchester called Delphic, a bit like friendly fires which is odd for a techno label, but they're being produced by ewan pearson and they're gonna be BIG. i interviewed him about this a while back here.
