For decades, Richard David James, better known as Aphex Twin, has contributed to the evolution of music with his various techno and ambient works under various pseudonyms. Throughout this period of time, he has established a cult-like fanbase that eagerly awaits his every move and explores the overlooked realms of the internet in search of something new. Now, following an announcement and lead single in June, the multi-hyphenate has shared his latest EP, Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760.

The first formal project of his since Collapse released as an EP in 2018, Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 serves as a brief exploration of modern atmospheric rhythm. Limited to a mere four tracks, Aphex Twin spares no time in establishing a fresh approach with sharp textures intertwining amongst precise drum progressions.

You can stream Aphex Twin’s Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 EP now via Spotify and Apple Music. For anyone interested in picking up physical copies of the project, it’s available as a 12” vinyl via his website alongside the classic Aphex logo tees.
