==Early years: 1990s== Vibert's first musical output was in a variety of bands, including a [[punk rock|punk]] act called Five Minute Fashion and later a [[Beastie Boys]]-esque group called the Hate Brothers, but he quickly moved into the low-cost environment of solo electronic composition.<ref name="LarkinDM">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1998|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0252-6|page=361}}</ref> Vibert grew up in Cornwall and attended the Wesleyan Methodist [[Truro School]] along with a number of key members of [[Aphex Twin]]'s [[Rephlex Records]] crew.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stuartaitken.com/post/43555798376/aphextwin |title=Rephlexology |date=28 November 2003|author=Stuart Aitken|work=mad.co.uk }}</ref> Luke and another school friend, Jeremy Simmonds, released an album on Rephlex under the name of ''Vibert/Simmonds'' which attracted attention from the [[Rising High Records|Rising High]] [[music label]]. As a result of the popularity of the style in the early 1990s, Rising High commissioned an [[ambient music]] album from Vibert, who delivered ''Phat Lab Nightmare'' under the alias Wagon Christ in 1993. Vibert pioneered the "[[drill 'n' bass]]" subgenre, which experimented with [[jungle music|jungle]] and [[drum 'n' bass]] breakbeats, on his 1995 EPs under the name Plug.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Reynolds |first1=Simon |title=kid606 - Down With The Scene review |url=http://reynoldsretro.blogspot.com/2019/08/kid606.html?m=1 |access-date=19 August 2019}}</ref> He would go on further over the next few years to produce more music under the Wagon Christ name for Rising High and [[Ninja Tune]].
