Chris Jeffs, known by the stage nameCylob, is a British electronic musician and producer. He has produced seven albums, three compilations and a number of remixes.[1] Previously signed to Rephlex Records, Jeffs started his own digital label Cylob Industries in 2007.[2]
His career evolved after he gave a demo tape to Aphex Twin at a gig in early 1993, who subsequently signed Jeffs to his Rephlex label. For a while the two were working and living in the same building.[3] Since his debut, he has released 13 singles and 5 albums on Rephlex, in addition to the EP Spider Report for Breakin' Records. Then followed the harsh dancefloor sonics of Cylob's Latest Effort and Lobster Tracks (with its Chris Cunningham-illustrated sleeve), pop pastiche with "Living In The 1980s", meditative bells and gongs on Mood Bells and the electronic funk and braindance of Cylob Music System Volumes 1 & 2. Although Cylob's music is predominantly instrumental, using a drum machine patch with sequencers, that evolved into digital compositions which included "midi style sequencing".[2] In 2007 he launched his own label, Cylob Industries, to release his material, while licensing it to various labels for hard-copy prints on CD and vinyl.[2] In 2014, the compilation Cymply The Best 93-01 was released, while much of the Rephlex material was re-released.
