Aphex Twin has shared two versions of an unreleased song on his SoundCloud account, responding to fan requests from years ago. The tracks, mixed on a Zähl soundboard, come with a personal caption and a photo featuring the artist's girlfriend. This update arrives amid recent reissues and compilations from the electronic musician.
Track Details
Aphex Twin's SoundCloud page, user18081971, received two new uploads on November 27, 2025—Thanksgiving in the US. The tracks are titled “Zahl am1 live track 1” and “Zahl am1 live track 1c f760m1 unfinshd,” appearing as alternate takes on the same composition. One version emphasizes a dance floor-ready groove with nostalgic ambience, while the other focuses on atmospheric elements without prominent drums, both sounding polished despite being described as unfinished.
The uploads include cover art showing Aphex Twin at a beach with a woman identified by fans as filmmaker Cordelia Angel-Clarke, his girlfriend. In the caption, he wrote: “Got many requests for this one from a few years back. Italy, pic with my love from Sicily recently. Need sun, relentlessly raining in the UK. Mixed down on the Zähl, think there are better mixes, will upload them if I find them.” The track names reference the Zähl soundboard used for mixing.
