Aphex Twin announced for Flow Festival, Helsinki

In the airport now. Connecting flight is delayed 40 minutes.

Aleksi Perala full 1080p front row video uploading when I get home....well almost. Security came over and said user sauli and I couldn't record the full show so I lost about 5 minutes of the set. I snuck the recording back on after he left though. Sorry Aleksi.

A highlight of Sunday was composer SØS Gunver Ryberg. I've never heard of her before before her set. It was fast dark Autechrey/Old AFX melodic kicks set with creepy pads layered on top. I managed to pull her off for a picture afterwards. She mentioned she was super camera shy so I'm going to refrain from posting her picture with me on this site. We talked for a bit and I asked her if she had a Bandcamp, and said that she doesn't have much material out because of many unfinished tracks. She mainly does live sets like this Boiler Room set here. The video does no justice to how amazing the set was. If you ever have the opportunity to see her work live, do it.

I did some Googling and found that she was one of the composers for that INSIDE side scrolling game. Super cool!

And that 24-bit WAV recording is amazing. Thank you so much to whomever made that happen.

I'll talk more about it on the next WATD show Saturday.

I totally expected "Tamphex" seeing as we were at Flow festival and there were giant bloodcells everywhere and Richie does tend to drop in location-related tracks into his sets. Oh well!

 

He did play a SAWII track, and we "were standing in a power plant on acid"

...well standing in a power plant at least - unless you know something I don't Whitley lol... e.g. mysterious stage buddy was a collective hallucination .. weirdcore visuals 2.0

Not sure why the mega link isn't working for some folks - still seems live to me - I know it can be a prick to download from mind you
here's a dropbox link

Thanks for the links, manmower and Brionic!

(There was something wrong with the encryption key in/on/at the Mega link)

holy wow, flow was a great family meetup facilitated by the lure of another killer set by our man rdj. weirdcore's visuals also do not cease to disappoint! 

before dfn, i'd never seen aphex live, and this weekend at flow was my 4th time this year. every gig has been different, from the tracklists to the people i've met, and yes i know how fortunate i've been (though my bank account begs to differ). thanks watmm for all the new friends and adventures this year, thanks to phudoshin for curating live aphex over the years, and thanks whitley for setting up that orginal dfn discord (now #snareup). somehow, i fit into all of this although i'm shit at keeping up with forums.

from where phudo, whitley, sauli, and i were standing in the crowd at flow, i could see the top half of the mystery guest's head. pleebs are never going to stop calling aphex a "them" now! here are the best photos i got, for anyone who wants to speculate - i figured if he/she/they didn't want to be seen/photographed, he/she/they should've gotten a shorter stool! ;)

our pal GreystarMusic is doing a nice job over at reddit to compile a tracklisting of richie's set. various links to recordings there, also.

so much to digest in the weeks ahead...

That might be Weirdcore himself... although he usually sits elsewhere during gigs...

His mrs was up with him for a bit at Field Day - could be her?

Looks a bit like Nina Kraviz too (who was also at Flow Fest)

Someone ask him on el Bleepo storo

I assumed it was weirdcore.. but can you even do visuals facing that direction? I kinda hope it is him though. Really the RDJ live "band" is weirdcore, light man, and phex doing the selektin and modular stuff. Props to all 3.

I didn't even think of this, but you're right. He wasn't up there at field day, day for night, Coachella etc etc

no brian

core

is it just me or is richard mixing tracks in almost all the time on the offbeat? is he doing this on purpose? i was wondering, cause it sounds nice quite often, as you don't expect it and get a different, interesting result, other times it seems a bit weird...

i mean, maybe he's just saying "fuck the system, i'm aphex twin and i mix in offbeat!" :-D!

Good stuff, thanks, loved INSIDE too.

inside was a great game. better than limbo in every way.

Post-show antics here... sound was sketchy due to 3G Helsinki :(

Best quality of the show is here:

Good quality videos shot from the sound desk it seems

10/10 would helsinki striber it up again
