Squarepusher
At this time, Tom was becoming obsessed with bringing a "dark psychedelia" to Drum and Bass (which would eventually reach its zenith with "Go Plastic" from 2001).
During this period Tom also made a remix for Ninja Tune's DJ Food, which featured on the e.p. "Refried Food". The remix led Ninja Tune to offer Jenkinson a record contract, which along with an offer from Belgium's R&S records he declined in favour of a contract offered by Warp Records, which was partially instigated by Richard D. James.
Correspondence between Richard D. James and Tom Jenkinson sprung up after meeting at The George Robey. The resulting meeting led to Tom's first hearing of the "Hangable Auto Bulb" e.p. which Richard had brought with him. But the meeting also facilitated Richard's initial selection of Tom's tracks that went on to form the "Feed Me Weird Things" album released on Rephlex Records in 1996.
Mason Dixon (band)
The group's first single, released in 1983, was a cover of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The group was the first act to have a Top 40 Country "Billboard" single on an independent record label in the 1980s, with the release of "3935 West End Avenue" in 1987. They signed a recording contract with Capitol Nashville in 1988, who released their fifth studio album, "Exception to the Rule". Its title track was their most successful single, reaching the Top 40 of the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and No. 63 on the "RPM" Country Tracks chart in Canada. Henderson left the group in 1989, to be replaced by Terry "Caz" Casburn (vocals, bass). A second album for Capitol, "Reach for It", was completed but never released. Rick Henderson, one of the founding members of the group died in mid December 2009.
