Who is Grant Wilson-Claridge?

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?

Like most self made millionaires, Grant is a complex man.

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.

he is aphex twin

djs under dj rephlex records moniker

this is Grant Wilson-Claridge:

he won a MoBo award for outstanding contribution to black music in 2003

He's a very particular fellow.

He looks hard as fuck.

but beneath his salty veneer he has a heart of gold

Had the pleasure of catching a Rephlex show in Dublin a few years back. GWC has some madness in him for sure.

..with afx headphonez

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?

he makes awesome music that you'll never hear

Is it just me or do him and Mike Dred look similar. (I'm not trying to imply any GWC = MD conspiracy) :tongue2:

musicians all look the same

Especially in the realm of braindance.

his wiki page is quite sad, don't look there for answers.

he is an advanced automaton controlled by a neural net to which sean booth, richard d james, luke vibert, tom jenkinson, and an artificial intelligence known simply as 'kevin' control the input

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.

I know, that is part of the reason I started this thread. RDJ's on the other hand is one of the most well-written on the site.

Grant Wilson Claridge enjoys falconry in his spare time.
