The Tuss is an electronic music group supposedly consisting of Cornish musicians Brian and Karen Tregaskin. It recently released an EP and an album on Rephlex Records.
Continuous unconfirmed rumors are circulating that The Tuss is a pseudonym of Aphex Twin, or a collaboration featuring him. A newsletter from Warp Records comparing Confederation Trough's sound to that of an Analord release along with an article in The Guardian[1] seemingly support the theory of The Tuss being an Aphex Twin-related project. The usage of a Yamaha GX1, an exceptionally rare and expensive (even at the time of release) analogue synthesizer[2] also seems to suggest that Brian and/or Karen Tregaskin is Aphex Twin, as he is one of the few owners of such a synthesizer in the United Kingdom[1]. The fact James played a track from Rushup Edge during live sets in Mayrhofen, Austria and Torino, Italy in 2005 lends further credence to the theory.
??Rushup Edge?? is the debut album of new Rephlex artists, ??The Tuss?, a dynamic duo discovered via intensive MySpace exploration by the A&R department. Apparently touted by Planet Mu, XL Recordings, Record Makers and Ninjatune all at the same time, they eventually decided to sign with Rephlex for reasons of principle. The label is very excited to find an act with this degree of promise and hope to be releasing even more work soon.
...It's a BS story, it's totally Richard D James (aka Aphex Twin) back under a different pseudonym. I ordered the album today, cant wait to hear it. It should be here on saturday:thumbsup:
