[a]pendics.shuffle is one of the many aliases of the prolific musical hydra who is Kenneth James Gibson.  From time to time he has also been known as dubLoner, Premature Wig, Reverse Commuter and one half of Electronic Music Composer.  Prone to making records with perverse titles full of heavy, disorienting sounds, and rocking these tracks like a madman on his live setup, Ken adds an unpredictable element of danger and emotional distress to any dance party lucky enough to have him.  His dance tracks are full of big hooks, processed vocals and tricky beats, infectious and memorable.  His first full-length as [a]pendics.shuffle, “Helicopter Hearts,” was released on Orac in Summer 2005.  Ken lives in Echo Park, California, on a steep and rocky hillside which he walks up barefoot twice a day.  His favorite color is brown.
