Aphex Twin has surprise-released a new compilation album, Music From The Merch Desk (2016–2023), now available on streaming platforms. The album features a collection of rare and limited-edition tracks that the electronic music icon sold exclusively at live shows between 2016 and 2023, including performances in Houston, Barcelona, Manchester, and London.
This unexpected 38-track project follows Aphex Twin’s long tradition of irregular and surprise releases, including 2023’s Blackbox Life Recorder 21f EP and the expanded 30th-anniversary edition of Selected Ambient Works Volume II, celebrated at London’s Tate Modern in October.
The album’s artwork playfully nods to bootleg concert merch, showcasing a collage of Aphex Twin’s faces engulfed in flames with a golden title.
For fans of experimental electronic music, Music From The Merch Desk offers a rare glimpse into Aphex Twin’s exclusive live-show catalog. Listen to the full compilation now on all major streaming platforms!
