If anyone knows anything about him, you will know that he releases music under all sorts on pseudonames. His latest one is "The Tuss".

Check out Rushup Edge, it's been out a few weeks now. It's only six tunes, but if it's not him, I'll eat me own head!

legend haha , from that article

in the 1990s, he won a £5,000 commission to remix the Lemonheads, but forgot and handed the motorcycle courier a gabba track with no trace of the original song - it's rather par for the course.

"andy" · 17 Jul 2007 at 20:39

I've heard it sounds like a poor mans Analord, full of acid.

mks2005 · 18 Jul 2007 at 21:33

Sounds rather good to me, the first 2 tracks off the EP in paritcular are great.

BTW, "The Tuss" is Cornish slang for an erection.

So is it worth buying then?

IMO, yes. It is very analordey, but I actually prefer it to analord myself, even tho it takes a few more listens.

Also, I'm not sure, but you may be able to get it from bleep? It's on Aphex's own label (replex).

Amazing, as always. If it isn't the fex I'll actually eat my carpet.
I only got rushup edge a week ago, and I really like it. Richard James makes the best music?, I would say so. No-one else really gets under my skin, maybe godspeed or steve reich come close, but they need half an hour. RDJ hits you in 15 seconds, a strange synth sound or an emotive chord progression. And I love the fact that rushup is full of this. His music seems to be going back to a state of feeling, nice and analogue.

If by some freaky chance it's actually an aphex clone, then I want them to make lots more

.

Edit: My words don't really do rushup edge justice.

That's not on Rushup Edge dude, I can only find it on the myspaz page. Can it be found elsewhere?.

'Shiz Ko E' for me, it's where Squarepusher should have gone (IMO).

I've seen him before, never does the same set twice. Should be a good show... I'm envious.
