act called Five Minute Fashion and later a Beastie Boys
-esque group called the Hate Brothers, but he quickly moved into the low-cost environment of solo electronic composition. Although Vibert originally had no intention of ever releasing any of the work, his reputation as a creative young voice in his field has created a demand for his work.
Vibert originally became involved in electronic music
through his interest for hip-hop as well as the environment of bedroom experimentalism associated with the swelling late-'80s UK dance scene. Luke and a friend, Jeremy Simmonds, released an album through the Rephlex label under the name of Vibert/Simmonds which caught the ear of Caspar Pound's Rising High music label. As a result of the popularity of the style in the early 90's, the label commissioned an ambient music
album from Vibert, who delivered the well-received Phat Lab Nightmare under the alias Wagon Christ in 1993.
He would go on further over the next few years to produce more music under the Wagon Christ alias, as well as introducing more aliases such as Plug (drum and bass/jungle), with the 1996 album 'Drum and Bass for Papa' which gained critical acclaim.
. In 2002, he would begin a series of live collaborations with Aphex Twin
. Although Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert never released an album together, Aphex Twin used the song name "Analord
", from Vibert's album Lover's Acid
, for a series of EPs
. Vibert's later releases varied in style as he released albums under various aliases, including Plug, Amen Andrews, Kerrier District and Spac Hand Luke. "Amen Andrews" is a word play
on the name of Irish
game show host Eamonn Andrews
, referring to the fact that each Amen Andrews track uses the Amen break
. In 2004, Vibert explored acid disco when he remixed a Black Devil
song, which was released on Disco Club (Remix)
and released his first album under the alias Kerrier District. In 2006, a collection of vintage Plug drum n bass songs were released on Here It Comes EP
.
In 2006, Vibert's song "Shadows" was featured on the DJ mix album A Bugged Out Mix
by Miss Kittin
, which charted at number one-hundred seventy on the French Albums Chart
. In 2009, he contributed a cover of LFO's song "LFO" to the Warp20 (Recreated)
