Aphex Twin shares new track – and immediately deletes it

‘Black Life Recorder 21f’ is his first release in five years

After sending fans into a frenzy in a recent Instagram post with Arca last week, Aphex Twin has shared a new track “Black Life Recorder 21f” – but it‘s existence has already been wiped from the internet. 

Shared yesterday (June 20) in a now-deleted Soundcloud post, the track comes ahead of the release of the producer’s upcoming, Black Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 – a four-part EP to be released on Warp Records on June 28, which follows on from 2018's Collapse

Last week, on June 15, the artist took to Twitter in a recent post, telling fans to, “LOOK OUT FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL IN SONAR +D PROJECT AREA AND AT THE MERCH DESK.” Posters with QR codes were also reportedly found across Los Angeles yesterday (June 20), which took fans to an augmented reality app called YXBoZXh0d2lu, where scanning the QR code granted access to the new track along with some animated visuals.

Following his earlier strong hints this year (Jan 19) to his first live appearance in four years through his cryptic website 190823.co.uk, fans are now highly anticipating whether this may, or may not, the bold new return of Aphex Twin.

While information about the EP has since been removed from Deezer, you can listen to the track below – for now.
