Richard Devine is one of the most gifted (if non prolific) of the producers organized round the Miami neo-electro oasis of Schematic Records. Based in Atlanta, Devine's productions consume the rigid breakbeat swing of prime electro recordings, but too a high arcdegree of DSP (digital signaling processing) thaumaturgy in keeping with Schematic's acknowledged heroes, Autechre. After EPs for a sublabel of Woody McBride's Drop Bass Network and the Devine EP on Schematic, the producer began acquiring a reputation in sophisticated electronics circles with remixes (of material by Aphex Twin, Chris Deluca, Slicker, and Schematic's possess Phoenecia) as intimately as compilation appearances (Ischaemic Folks and Lily of the Valley, both on Schematic). Turned on to Devine's work by praise from Autechre and his remix of Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy," Britain's Warp Records hired him in 2000 to criminal record a uncut. The results, Lipswitch, were jointly released one year later on by Schematic and Warp.
