Aphex Twin will release a new compilation tomorrow (December 17th).
The seminal electronic producer recently re-issued his deeply influential album ‘Selected Ambient Works II’, with label Warp Records hosting a listening event at the Tate Modern in London.
The 21st century has seen Aphex Twin favour unconventional release methods, including a lengthy spell when the producer would place new material on SoundCloud without warning.

Now it seems that these releases will be collated for a full digital release. ‘Music From The Merch Desk (2016-2023)‘ covers a lengthy period of creativity, and for many fans this will be the first opportunity to hear the music in pristine condition – or at all.
Out on December 17th, a link on Spotify has been uncovered –
