"Adrian Thaws a.k.a Tricky is a native of Bristol & emerged in the late eighties as part of The Wild Bunch, who then morphed into Massive Attack..."
" Rumor has it DJ Trickster (aka Rick Taylor) got his name playing "tricks" on other DJs in order to hear his favorite Factory & Creation Records artists."
To the best of my knowledge they are two seperate people. Tricky (Adrian Thaws) is often referred to as "The Trickster" so that may add to the confusion. Though I guess is could be possible I am mistaken.
