In late January 2004,
Luke Vibert released a triple-vinyl pack on Rephlex under his
Kerrier District alias. The whimsical producer took cues from Italo disco producers of the early '80s -- as well as left-field house vets
Metro Area, who certainly inspired
Vibert's own pseudonym -- to come up with his own sample-heavy take on the sound. Black Devil's
Disco Club, a French disco-era relic reissued by Rephlex around the same time as
Kerrier District, also played a significant role in the sound of these tracks. The self-titled set was released on compact disc a couple months later.
Vibert eventually remixed one of the Black Devil tracks as part of another Rephlex release. During the next several years,
Vibert released only a couple additional
KD EPs, though a second album finally materialized on Hypercolour in 2015. ~ Andy Kellman
