Rephlex

Rephlex Records was a record label launched in 1991 in Cornwall by electronic musician Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin, etc) and Grant Wilson-Claridge. The label coined the term "braindance" to describe output of Aphex Twin and fellow artists.
Rephlex has released the music of many notable and influential electronic artists, among them Mike Paradinas (aka μ-Ziq, etc), the founder of Planet Mu Records, synth pop revivalist and electro pioneer Ed Upton, prolific dance musician Luke Vibert (aka, Wagon Christ, etc), and electronic musician and virtuoso bass player Squarepusher. The label has also remastered and re-released the early works of its acid heroes 808 State and Future Sound Of London (as Humanoid), and relaunched the career of electronic duo producers Black Devil with a re-release of their first record.
In 2014, James announced the closing of Rephlex Records.

In 1999, when Peel met up with Rephlex label co-founder Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin, etc) and fellow label artist Luke Vibert (aka, Wagon Christ, etc) in Sounds Of The Suburbs: Cornwall, the DJ suggested:
“Cornwall’s musicians rarely get a hearing nationally so the Aphex Twin’s success, together with the Rephlex label he’s set up, has inspired a new generation.”
Rephlex quickly moved beyond its Cornish origins and the music of Aphex Twin to encompass a wide range of other electronic musicians featured by Peel, including early releases by session artists μ-Ziq and Squarepusher (as Chaos A.D.). With members of its roster also recording for Warp and other labels, Rephlex releases given airtime by the DJ also included work by familiar faces under assorted aliases, such as Caustic Window (aka Aphex Twin) and Amen Andrews (aka Wagon Christ). 
On the BBC website, Rephlex featured as Peel’s Label Of The Month in November 2003 , while monthly Peel's Record Box picks included singles and albums by Ovuca, Yee-King, Kosmik Kommando and PP Roy, as well as the various artists "Grime" collection.
