In 1996 he released his first single called "Testrach / Sapling" on a 12" Vinyl issued by Curor Recordings. Since then he's released 7 albums and a remixes/outtakes compilation album on labels such as Certificate 18, Exalt Records & Micro Spiral, with his albums 'Pop Will Make Us Free' and 'The Slowdown' being the most popular.
Links to Peel[]
John Peel first played Pilote's music on his 11 August 1999 show, where he played the A side and titular song on a 12" single called "No Truck". Peel would play various tracks of his from 1999-2001, such as 'Pilote vs. Bonobo: Turtle (Bonobo Mix)', 'No Truck', and 'Fairplay'. Pilote would come on to do a session on the 02 August 2000 show, where he played several unreleased tracks, that the listeners seemed to enjoy, as John says.
