Tune of the Week: Luke Vibert

Luke Vibert is a electronic musician jack-of-all-trades. Since 1993 he has been consistently releasing music in a myriad of styles under mulitiple monikers. As Plug and Amen Andrews he makes drum and bass/jungle music. As Wagon Christ he releases trip hop. As Kerrier District he creates house music. As Ace of Clubs he focuses on acid house. What is prevalent across all of these differing works is a palpable sense of personality and a great degree of humor. This track is taken from his 1997 album “Big Soup”, the first released under his actual name. It serves as a kind of concept album devoted to the concept of the future circa the 1960s. It’s the perfect example of Luke’s mastery of sample manipulation and collage. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and vibe(rt) out!
