Ceephax Acid Crew

b. Andrew Jenkinson, March 1979, Chelmsford, Essex, Britain. Andy Jenkinson aka Ceephax Acidity Crew produces what he phone calls ‘squelchy digital music’. Younger sibling of Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher styles his curiously resonant music with a Roland TB-303, the transistor bass launched in the first 80s and originally designed to emulate a genuine bass participant but broadly appropriated and abused like a sound resource by enterprising dance music artists. After some EPs (mainly featuring songs with acidity in the name), Ceephax Acidity Team finally released two albums in quick succession in 2003. The debut recording premiered via Breakin’ (the label operate by Ed DMX) and put together a disk’s well worth of new songs alongside the uncommon Breakin’ EPs, Bainted Smile and Radiotin. Curiously, the previous EP included the monitor ‘Dennis Weaver Acidity’, seemingly called after/inspired from the cult acting professional. Remarkably (provided his association with several music artists, including his sibling as well as the Aphex Twin, for whom polemicism frequently appears to be a perfect motivation) a lot of Ceephax Acid solution Crew’s appeal place in its inventor’s restraint and subtlety. An instant follow-up, Exidy Trips, sounded even more unhinged. Issued via the Belgium-based Firstcask label, the discharge juxtaposed wistful melodies (albeit performed within the 303) with the type of messy neo-jungle that recommended Jenkinson’s sibling was an impact in the end. Notably, Jenkinson is normally frequently cited as the Aphex Twin’s most liked artist.
