Recently been reacquainting myself with AFX's 'Analord' series from a few years back, you'd be hard pushed to find a better compendium of modern electronic music. If you missed them first time around they are available as wav's from the Rephlex site. AFX- Phonatacid (Download)
Richard David James, known to most as the man behind the mind-boggling productions of Aphex Twin, is arguably one of the most well-respected and talented figures in the history of electronic music and (depending on whom you ask) music altogether. The prolific UK-based musician has released more tracks in his twenty-plus year career than most [...]
Richard David James, known to most as the man behind the mind-boggling productions of Aphex Twin , is arguably one of the most well-respected and talented figures in the history of electronic music and (depending on whom you ask) music altogether. The prolific UK-based musician has released more tracks in his twenty-plus year career than most current living musicians of any genre, and while doing so he has kept himself from compromising his own musical integrity-a philosophy driven by consistent experimentation and pure, untainted creativity. James has released under a myriad of aliases including (but not limited to) [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] It's funny when people call out certain music saying "oh this has potential", I almost started to write that about A Gap Between then thought, no I just want more of this, its a satisfying listen because that seems to be my honest reaction after just 30 seconds in. Walls are pushing forward, taking that Kompakt sound into this synthesized organic realm full of bells over swelling arpeggios, beautiful energy. Dam-Funk is the master of what he [...]
Cosmic disco retro-futurists, Acid Washed, have released a mix for the Summer. It features awesome tracks by AFX, Gesaffelstein, ESU and Daniel Haaksman, whilst serving as an awesome prelude to their upcoming remixes for Mickey Moonlight, Yuksek & Arnaud Rebotini. 1- Cascao & Lady Maru "Tropical Tasting" Rodion Remix (I am single) 2- Fireman "Hold″ [...]
My last post on Locust Toybox got me listening to simillar sounding stuff. the kind of tracks that get labelled "IDM" (And as much as I hate calling that I'm going to have to for now) Anyway, as I was browsing through my collection I queued up some of my favourites I had an idea: "I could make a post out of this!" I thought. And I did. So sit back and enjoy a few of my favourite tunes from that ever enigmatic genre known as IDM. I [...]

AFX - Crying In Your Face Dubnium has been called the "saddest of elements." Only one specimen has ever been found in the wild--in Michigan in 1986, a surveyor came upon a Dubnium filament roosting in the hollow of a tree. No caretaker was present, and perhaps most notable, there were no signs of abuse. The Dubnium expired in captivity shortly thereafter, primarily due to stress from prolonged exposure. Joan Simmons, who has written a book on the incident, the outstanding "Dumb and Alone" says that although disheartening, the loss of the element was not [...]
El sábado pasado en Francia, Richard D. James , mejor conocido como AFX o Aphex Twin en México, se presentó como DJ y para la fortuna de muchos de sus "fans from hell", como su servidor, el señor de los sonidos ("inteligentes") está recetando nuevo material inédito en sus DJ sets. Así que si eres pudiente o vives en Europa, esta es una experiencia auditiva que no te puedes perder en vivo. Aquí les dejo un video (aficionado) que hoy publicó Pitchfork , que a pesar de carecer de buena imagen, curiosamente [...]

One of Mr James' finest remixes as he twists 808 state into demon acid noise. 808 State - Flow Coma (AFX Remix)
Hey Everyone. So, as Joe noted in this post , Richard D. James is a man with many, many names. I hope I don't show myself up as a person who is particularly drawn to artists with like, a 100 pseudonyms, but hey. [...]
Het utrechts acidcollectief 030303 , dat ons eclectrohart stal in de zeister bossen tijdens Outhouse 2007, en dat sinds kort op eigen labelbenen staat, doet weer eens van zich horen: op 29 januari aanstaande wordt een kapot gruwelijke AFX night georganiseerd in Ekko, en voor 6 lullige piekies komt dat fizza ook hard voor jou. 8 uur lang Richard D James verdeeld over 2 zalen. Met WindowClicker, Rex Joy, Anna Lord, Aphex Acid Crew Rephlex Twin, en Johnny Rubber. Een kleine opwarmer hieronder met een DJ gig van de man himself met oa Lamb. [...]
Yes, yes. Erol and Boys Noize teaming up is nothing new on the 'blogosphere'. However, Ed Banger's DJ Medhi twisting it into a dancefloor destroying acid mix that vaguely recollects Aphex's seminal 808 State remix, is!! Erol Alkan & Boys Noize - Death Suite (DJ Medhi's Simple Acid Edit)
Yeah that's right, these guys hung out together . It's a stark image, one of the starkest. It's something which Richard D. James can only aspire to create himself. The best he could do, when he played under Piccadilly Rail Station back in December 2007, was three professional gurners giving it their all up on stage with him, a good effort, but it dosen't imprint on your soul the way this picture does. We'll soon see what RDJ can come up with next as Kevin [...]
