joshuatxuk Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Okay so I know what everyone else does. Rephlex co-owner/spokesperson, Cornwall native, RDJ's partner in crime, etc. But does anyone know anything else about him beyond his role as a owner of Rephlex? Overall he seems more mysterious than RDJ himself. I've never seen a picture of him and besides a few printed interviews the only other media I know of him is his appearance with RDJ on Kiss FM back in the early 90s where they showcases a lot of Universal Indicator and Caustic Window tracks. I'm especially interested in whether or not he has produced anything himself: i.e. the rumour he did part of universal indicator green, particularly the 7" tracks and the IG-88/Tan-09 monikers. Also does anyone know his back story before his fateful meeting with Richard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If I remember rightly there were photos of him with RDJ in The Wire a few years ago, but he may have had a pair of tights on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 I didn't even think about looking up DJ Rephlex Records even though I had read that was his performing alias. Was warehouse his latest gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Super lurker ultra V12 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Grant was going to release music under the name IG-88, but it never seemed to happen lol Rephlex is one of the last remaining dinosaurs of the industry to not embrace digital distribution. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
