// Jackson & His Computer Band
( / )Thumping filtered house cuts of Jackson's first Sense Juice and Gourmet EPs led to articles in NME, I-D, Jockey Slut and the like. Jackson rose to prominence in 2003 when his fourth single, album opener Utopia, tweaked all manner of DJs and tastemakers with its celestial apres-rave shimmer. Warp picked up on these records, instantly recognising Jackson as a genuine innovator with his own distinctive sound and personality- rare qualities in modern electronics- and signed him. Fourgeaud released his debut album Smash in 2005. His style has been described as a "style orgy, a psychedelic celebration of conflict. The idea is to mix unmatchable elements, to slash boundaries and create tension between opposites," he says. Jackson was commissioned to remix an array of artists, sprinkling his magic over Femi Kuti, Air, Vanessa Paradis, Freeform Five, Jean Jacques Perrey and Luke Vibert's Moog Acid and recently Justice's D.A.N.C.E. He is currently working on his second album for Warp, out 2008.
