The Tuss - Confederation Trough

[LEQ]

Anyone got/heard this on Rephlex? Apparently it's an alias of Aphex, no idea if this is true or not. It's here at Boomkat - http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=33178

heard it and it does sound quite a lot like analord afx but although boomkat are continuing the 'it's afx' rumour, the word from phonica is that it's a cornish guy called Brian.

"Confederation Trough" EP is the debut single of new Rephlex signing The Tuss aka Brian Tregaskin, a cornish musician discovered via intensive MySpace exploration by the A&R dept. Apparently touted by labels such as XL and Ninja, The Tuss’s official line seems inspired by the time FFRR signed Chicago house legend Lil Louis’ smash hit "French Kiss", even tho they had no information about him at all at the time! The EP features 3 tracks featuring a unique blend of head music and dance vibes, everything from acid / house / techno / industrial to pastoral and folk influences.

Cool, thanks for that. Might just ask Grant next time I see him, probably easier!
