I love their tunes and personalities pretty much equally. Always appreciated how they've managed to find their own unique niches and sound in a common scene.
Apparentely his raw, amateurish mixing style is too much for current industry 'standards' (overcompression, heavy reeverbs, obsession over crispiness with highpass filters). Unfortunately not many labels, even underground ones aim at solid composition (maybe except indie game developer).
One of the most inspired and creative talents in electronic music today. No one sounds like him, and he sounds like no one else. I had the pleasure of meeting Andy briefly after attending one of his gigs. Really down to earth and genuinely nice guy. Big inspiration! Thank you for posting this video.
17th November 1997 was the date of his first show at the 333. The Railway Raver also played and got signed to Replex Records. Cassette Boy played one of their first ever gigs that night too. A real moment of history.

I drunk lots of Stella and talked rubbish on the mic and everything ended up totally distorted which still happens nearly 20 years later. Needless to say it was a legendary night for all that came. Cheers!" imagine Aphex in the Congo, mustve been insane
Dunno why people think he's like that tho. i heard him say in an interview that some times just just goes with what ever sound. and is more about composition and harmony.
Awesome! I'm so jealous of his gear. He's exactly right about having fun with music. So many artists are serious, about their image... it's music, have fun with it.
something about the day in the life of producers and musicians always relaxes me ,especially when theyre not pompous and egotistical jerks but everyday people blessed with a unique talent that brings all ethnicity together
I get the feeling that Andy's the more relaxed one between him and his brother ;D. I do appreciate Tom's music greatly, though, ever since I first heard it in the mid 90:ies. His sometimes serious attitude pays great dividends, though - the results speak for themselves. Both brothers have a lovely way to go about music and creativity.
All of these Electric Independence episodes were hugely influential for me as a producer - if anyone has all the episodes , please post them ! Some are still available , but episodes about “Emeralds”, “Black Meteoric Star”, and “Peaking Lights” don’t seem to be available anywhere .
I once saw cheephax in Antwerp, de location had tree houses, and i think he wear a wookie or monkey suit! One of the best epic party's i remember!! all starts alligned that evening. Nice location, good vibes, funny costumes!
And you are very welcome to do it ) Thing is I uploaded this video on youtube a long time ago - just because I had it on my PC and I could not find it online. I'd be happy to edit description if someone could provide some info on the subject.
Can I be a fan for a minute? I saw yr comments on o&a with the aphex logo and thought it was odd. Then I saw yr ceephax acid and Dmx krew videos. Just wanted to say that we may have the odd/same fucked up taste. Gay out. Peace. PS. I'm from Houston. I saw the aphex show last last year and bought the limited vinyl. It was amazing as it sounded. Peace again.
"Have some fun. It's fine, don't worry about it." Something that pretty much every creative person needs to be reminded of every once in awhile.
I totally agree. It's all about the love of doing it, Nothing else really matters :D
Words to live by.
Totally
*person
Andy's sense of humour really colours his music. Love his work. His brother is much more serious but equally just as good.
+toffee20
IMHO Andy is better. Squarepusher has some ok tunes but that's it.
I love their tunes and personalities pretty much equally. Always appreciated how they've managed to find their own unique niches and sound in a common scene.
are you nuts, Squarepusher has done some INSANE music and is a world class bass player.
Im sure they would both rather not be compared to eachother, their music is completely different
Oh The Jenkins family
I cannot believe this guy is not more famous. a humble music genius writing history.
Well, his brother is Squarepusher...
Apparentely his raw, amateurish mixing style is too much for current industry 'standards' (overcompression, heavy reeverbs, obsession over crispiness with highpass filters). Unfortunately not many labels, even underground ones aim at solid composition (maybe except indie game developer).
Talentless TikTok laptop producers get all the attention. We live in a very superficial world these days.
“Have some fun. It’s fine. Don’t get too stressed”. God do we need more guys like him.
got to love the room filled with what is now tens of thousands of quid worth of equipment with a mattress on the floor in the corner ....
I miss this style of music journalism.

His Cro Magnox album is incredible.
its one of my favorites of his. I love giving it a listen from start to finish every now and then.

@@00_v1 Making Aphex dance for the first time. That's enough to become a legend oneself.
8:24 - For some reason as soon as he said this I pictured his brother.
Dunno why people think he's like that tho. i heard him say in an interview that some times just just goes with what ever sound. and is more about composition and harmony.
4:07 - love that picture. Tom in the background as hypeman for one of his brother's most important gigs. An amazing sight.
Dafydd Sinden 😂😂😂👏
@Tommy Bee imagine thinking Tom Jenkinson is talentless...
It has to be flattering for Tom to have his brother following his footsteps.
we need more guys like him.
this brother is a true genius and talent in composition, love the Capsule in Space one especially...
thank you for uploading this interview!
Of course this guy is related to Squarepusher....
Is squarepusher the older brother?
@@awesomekid8922 yep!
andy you're a legend and an inspiration. love your music videos. great interview.
Awesome! I'm so jealous of his gear. He's exactly right about having fun with music. So many artists are serious, about their image... it's music, have fun with it.
I've come to really respect Andy's music. Truly one of a kind
I love his approach to his music.

I would love to see him talk about his brother & vice-versa or to actually see them together in the same interview.
Or just a Squarepusher/Ceephax collab
Pure beltonium
Thanks for this. Totally inspired by his live sets. Seems like a very cool bloke who happens to make some incredible music too.

all starts alligned that evening. Nice location, good vibes, funny costumes!
Thanks for interviewing this corrosive sweatshirt legend :^]
I remember his acid karaoke set at Butlins. Best karaoke experience in the world.
ATP?
Underrated Analog Acid Genius! Luv this stuff. turned me onto acid
Whenever Big glass of Beer near Gear old Danny feels Fear!
I thought I was the only one to describe the 303 as liquid sounding when the resonance is turned up...
Seems like a nice guy. EDIT: I can't help but smile at that music video at the end.
Excellent piece thanks for sharing
Not that I want to be a hater, we need more legit music like you in 2019.
This is something I cannot describe. I really love it.
Coolest brothers to ever exist on the face of the earth
his live shows are the best
Ha! I had on of those Roland jackets in blue, tried to find some the other week.
Coolest guy in the world
the lost twin of the aphex
I wonder if they meet each other at some point, his brother Tom did some collaboration with RDJ before.
@@B1SCOOP Actually in an Interview Richard said that he is a Ceephax fan
wait ceephax talks? i thought he was like a perfect nightmare hacking reality or something
I love it so much ♡ you bring fun into my life ☆
What a sound dude. Bet he's a right laugh to trip with
Andy is a musical genius. My god he is one heck of a talented guy. Super cool too.
such a humble guy, totally correct, have fun with music, it doesnt have to be perfect - very inspirational :)
i know what hes saying. its my youth too. i love him and aphex.
I had the 303rd like!
bingo!
Needs more views and hat doffs!
Keep it up sir!!!!
He’s a fucking lovely person - seen him live in Glasgow a few times.
5:35 the ability to 'project' is such an underrated part of performance.
3:21 I've been looking for that jacket for YEARS and I've had no luck whatsoever, hopefully it's not one of a kind :(
green on reflecting yellow bomber... totally dope.
6:50 he removed the tune knob! This man is a genius. Will do that to mine too
🤓 It is quite retro sounding tho. What when all that gear breaks down ?
FunfunFUN, like when I played with Lego and C64 / Amiga DECADES ago.
Keep the attitude!
And greetings from the Mediterranean Acid pond!
I grew up with Amiga's but I had the cheaper Commodore 64 which was just simplicity and beauty.
CEEPHAX AND CO ALWAYS WINS X
This dude is so unironically chill and aesthetic. Too legit to quit. the fuckin' acid MAESTRO. Wak!
What a lovely guy
very good insight into his music making!
love this guy
what a legend
5:10 After all, this is the dude who starred in the commuter video
