Due to a big cock up at the distro we got the CEEPHAX 'Volume One' albums late so big apologies to those of you that have been waiting on them. Finally it's here though and it's been worth the wait. Seasoned fans are in for a real treat, this being the best thing he's put out in some time. The big mash up of techno beats analogue synths skittering breakbeats and acid squelches that he's been showcasing at his live shows are all present. I like the fact that they never bothered to get rid of the red eye from his photo. If you look closely you can see that he's cut out a logo from a Quaker cereal packet and stuck it on a bit of his gear. Well bedroom.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Ceephax aka Andy Jenkinson encompasses an old school acid sensibility crossed with the energy and innovation of the famous ‘Universal Indicator’ acid series, plus a melodic and moody experimental side that is revealed in his mellower moments. Following his debut remixes of Squarepusher’s ‘Bioslate’ on Rephlex in 1998, he has released a multitude of EP’s and albums on a variety of labels (Breakin’/Firstcask/WeMe/Bug Klinik/Warp/Lo Recordings etc.) ‘Volume One’ represents his first album since the highly acclaimed ‘Exidy Tours’ in 2003, with a second installment to follow later in 2007. The style is techno/acid/house/d & b/experimental/ambient... Basically all electronic/dance styles, i.e Braindance. With a nod towards yesterday’s hero’s from Detroit, Chicago, Holland and Germany, Ceephax pushes the acid sound to the limit, from one end of the sonic spectrum to the the other with pummelling technoid pounders, spazzed out breakbeats and other assorted genre-defying experiments.
