The enigmatic producer born Richard D. James gave his first performance since 2019 last week at Barcelona’s Sonar festival. A social media post instructed fans to “LOOK OUT FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL IN SONAR +D PROJECT AREA AND AT THE MERCH DESK,” and posters with QR codes led to an augmented reality app called YXBoZXh0d2lu. It featured animated visuals along with a preview of ‘Blackbox Life Recorder 21f’.
Aphex Twin is set to headline London’s Field Day Festival on August 19.
