Aphex Twin is now on Soundcloud (and uploaded loads of unreleased beats!)

Following on from October’s release of his ‘comeback’ LP, Syro, Aphex Twin has opened up his Pandora Box of beats and thrown them onto a new Soundcloud page (this new account is official by the way – it seems previous efforts were either fan-led, or just ‘forgotten’).

**Update 10th November 2014: an additional 40+ beats and full-length pieces have been added onto Soundcloud**

Coinciding with the new account’s appearance, the electronic producer (real name Richard D James) has shared a wealth of unheard (or tweaked) material – mostly short cuts and synthetic stabs, however one piece massively stood out for us – Window Peeper.

Speaking to NoyzeLab, Window Peeper was apparently “made around 1987/1988 with a fucking qx21 sequencer&fz10m,101+quadraverb +home made mixer on breadboards, was a pretty cool mixer ,got some pics somewhere.. looked well techno it was 2 big breadboards slotted together and did some odd phasey stuff., before that i used to just twist all the wires together as a mixer! not many have tried that i don’t reckon, its actually a pretty unique way to get the cheapest compressor! That was my orig name b4 Aphex…. pbod, phonic boy on dope :)))”

Stream Window Peeper below; and hit the iTunes link to download Syro straight away. We’d also massively-recommend heading over to NoyzeLab for the full [first part] of their insightful interview and look into Aphex Twin’s world – it makes for some fantastic reading.
