A live recording of an early 1990s DJ set from Aphex Twin has surfaced. Recorded at New York’s Limelight nightclub on a portable DAT, New Jersey record store Lofidelic Records uploaded the rare selection to Soundcloud.
“Back in the early 1990s when techno was just starting to explode in NYC, I snuck a portable DAT recorder into the Limelight nightclub when Richard James, The Aphex Twin was DJing a very rare live set,” the accompanying post explains.
“I recorded his entire 1hr set from the crowd and then put the DAT away for 25+ years. The other day with the help of my friend Tony Rodriquez and his DAT machine, we finally made a digital copy of the set and finally uploaded it for all to hear.”
Tracks from the likes of L.F.O., Phuture, Dave Clark and Kinesthesia appear on the 63-minute stream.
