Chris Jeffs, known by the stage name Cylob, is a British electronic musician and producer. He has produced fifteen albums, three compilations and a number of remixes. Previously signed to Rephlex Records, Jeffs started his own digital label Cylob Industries in 2007.

Career

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. 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". 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. In 2014, the compilation Cymply The Best 93-01 was released, while much of the Rephlex material was re-released.
