Collapse EP

Aphex Twin

A hyper-detailed masterclass in rhythmic deconstruction, blending dizzying, glitch-heavy metric collapses with moments of lush, alien melodic beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, mind-bending metric collapse at the three-minute mark of T69 collapse where the rhythm seems to fold in on itself.
The heavy, footwork-inspired syncopation on 1st 44 that suddenly dissolves into a lush, melancholic synth pad.
The frantic, micro-edited drum machine patterns on abundance10edit that resolve into a surprisingly warm, nostalgic melody.
