I heard him play a song in the 90's at Lowlands with a sample from The Message by Grandmaster Flash. Does anybody know what song that was, can't find it here, and maybe it was made by some other producer.

If i'm honest, Aphrodite is overrated and his tunes are very cheesy and, to put it strangely, uneventful. I only really liked him because of his conections with Pussy Clart Finn.

Aphrodites good stuff is as bad as his worse. Some of his tracks are just fuckin awesome, original shit. Most of his newer stuff, however, is very formulamatic (word?) and, to me, just isn't as good as his other stuff! This is due to the fact that he stopped sampling and started making "all original" music. I say fuck that, go back to ripping off beats and making good music!

another extremely well-know UK dj/producer. Aphrodite's releases can vary from atmospheric to straight-up jungle. his remixes are usually top-notch.
