The man looks like a mad scientist trying to develop the best music to ever hit these youngsters eardrums.

legend said that he's still dancing

Ha! Great footage. Me and my brother promoted the first Aphex Twin gig in Scotland, back in 1993, and Richard came up to my house before the gig and we had a blast on the decks to get us in the mood! His mum and dad came to the gig which was pretty weird! They were on holiday in Scotland at the time and it was the first time they'd seen their boy in a club! He looked just like he does in this video, same for the gig set up what with all those wires coming out of the synths and shit. Wish I'd filmed it.

Here's the timestamps: 0:00 - Quoth (Hidden Mix) 5:13 - .942937 9:45 - Start As You Mean To Go On

Aphex Twin on this live: "They used my soundcheck audio for this footage because their actual gig audio was distorted, they got the soundcheck audio off the desk, you can see its not really in sync. The soundcheck was not live, just me putting fx on over DAT playback. Ive still got a good copy of the actual gig recorded on DAT which I should upload at some point if and when I get onto the gig files. Oh and my fuckin monitor died halfway through the first track, was mostly off the studio 440 though.."

Cool to see this type of dark hard techno getting more appreciation again these days.

Massive respect to the late great John Peel for bringing Richard into the public eye 👁‍🗨, back in the 92' BBC radio peel sessions. Classics. The day I got outta jail November 92' I bought selected ambient works 85/92 and it changed my life for music.

Got a respect a man who brings his actual gear from the studio on stage even though it might break down and still rocks that shit to the ground

The juxtaposition of Richard calming turning knobs & his friend frantically dancing is hilarious

Aphex Twin = God of Electronic music

I love how the synths and all those wires look modern, but this PC is the most 90s thing ever

It makes me happy to know that the guy that designed Richard's logo was actually really into the music lol

for 93, this was extremely high quality. Not sure the frenchmen realized the level of talent they witnessed that day. The stage dude sure did. Either way, awesome video!

Possibly the greatest video on the internet.

I wonder if the people there had any idea of how ahead of time this really was.

The thing about Aphex twin that I loved more than anything was how he can really make anything sound computerized, like it really came from a computer, but he could also make something sound so atmospheric it sounds like something that came from another planet, or dimension, or like something from heaven, very very few artists I can name ever got close to what Richard could create, I think a lot of that came from his ability to truly let his mind wonder, and listen to things, observe things, almost a sort of meditation, which tbh, I feel is really the heart of a true artist. Him and Brian eno were truly some of the best electronic music artists to ever walk the earth.

that stage guy is a legend

That first tune is fucking head candy.

Probably one of the most influential musical artist of our generation.

Sounds more futuristic than some of the shite that's knocked out today, still ahead of his time!

8:05 sick

Genius. Brilliant. Immortal.

Love when AFX has these banging beats alongside absolutely beautiful ambient pads.

this dancin fella designed aphex's logo and all artworks for SAW II

30 years later and it's still a masterpiece

Richard uses his computer likes he's at home!

I could've shot up a lethal dosage of MDMA+Ketamine at this show and I would've died a happy man. Where the fuck was I when was 1, I should've been there.

Aphex twin in the Boiler Room!

it's weird that i still find his music from this era to be amazing., fresh and interesting.

I want his Monica on my gravestone because he's been in my life for 40 years. Not one week goes by without playing random tracks from some back catalogue. Love you AFX.

That track at 9mins is on his unnamed album, I got it, just a blank CD with a sticker on box. About 10 tracks, classic aphex. Some of his stuff is unreal, he can get right into my brain.

killer crowd man, i even think i saw a guy shuffle his feet at one point

Like the Evian bottle, the music is timeless

Fun fact: I'm 99% sure the guy dancing also designed his logo.

still the god of Electronic Music

If anyone wants to hear what the whole set might have gone like search for ‘Aphex live at orbit Leeds 1992’ for a full set with these tracks in it.

Tracks are quoth - hidden mix, .942937 & Start as you mean to go on.

He's trippin balls, and pioneering the boundaries of what we consider music. RD James will ever be under-appreciated.

Without the beard and moustache, Richard looks like Beck Hansen.

This is beautiful.

He was killing these frivolous ravers in his pure electronic madness lol

This man experiences sound at the atomic level.

Richard James is the closest thing to God the world has seen in two thousand years

still mind blowing even is 27 years ago!

Самый экзистиональный диджей всех времен! Эту музыку понимает 1 из 1000

Saw him in Belfast around this time. Spoke to the dancer before he was due on stage and he was really lovely. It was some rave with Aphex and Spiral Tribe, if I remember correctly.

Only Aphex could produce sounds of such carefully crafted quality.

I check this video every few months to see if the dancing man has dropped a comment

Absolutely vicious first track Unrelenting eternal ferocity Incredible

wow !!! 1993 i was then only 12 years old ! It was an amazing change for music industry , you and few others were the creators of new order in music industry . Total respect and admire !

Aphex twin est et restera toujours au dessus de tous les producteurs electro Pas de doute bravo Richard et merci

aphex twin etait est et sera toujours un artiste en avance sur son temps aphew twin was , is , and will be forever a great artist ahead of his time ! j’espère sincèrement qu'il revienne a dour x)

He did the shit you do today but in the 90's. He is 30 years ahead of our time, of course!

Fun fact: the bloke dancing is the man that designed the Aphex logo.

WOW - thank you for this jewel (from the past or from the future)!

i wish i was there!! what a legend!! greatest thing ive ever watched

rafael hurtado cobos Here Part 1 Aphex Twin Live Osmoze (1pt.) Part 2 Aphex Twin Live Osmoze (2pt.) Part 3 Aphex Twin Live Osmoze (3pt.)

Legend says that man is still dancing...

I saw him live in Houston. I would have loved to witness some classic sets like this.

where's the love button? I first discovered and started Djing Aphex' music in 1993 and still love all his output to this day.... MASTER in da House

This music made my 6 year old child bust into uncontrollable dancing.

just that first riff is so far ahead of the pack, even a quarter century later..timeless

This video should never be forgotten

28 years later we are seeing this gem for those who were not there, like myself.

8:06 - 8:18 when the acid drops

wha...huh? wait a second, there are no instruments! he's pushing buttons and pulling levers..but he's making music! Amazing! i've never seen anything like it!

Fucking Legend.

he is fantastic.

Most lit Aphex video of all time.

First two minutes transports me into a trance 🤔 Now it’s 6 and a quarter and those synths are gorgeous. I’m in awe. 😭

RDJ genius electronic artist ever 1993 great set live!

Cant believe my hears !! afx live and back in 93, the begginins of techno, detroit etc.. Richard u r the real music maker, doing music even with vaccum cleaners dude !! ...blasting

I was about 10 years old when I first heard windowlicker on flylo fm while playing GTA and INSTANTLY fell in love. Absolutely love aphex and I will only continue to be inspired by his music.

Damn I was looking for the comment that used to be in here that said, “Hell for all I know he could be doing his taxes up there!” Got me everytime

천재다.. 스물두살에 이런 음악을..

Best Evian advert ever!

Rocking that Atari 1040st good style. Nice one Richard.

A lot of the traverler raves were like this in 92 😊😊

Aphex Twin Live performances are rare, this is amazing!

3:11 a damn trains engine driving uphill and now aphex is putting an extra amount of coal in it for the engine , the train never stops it drives and drives and drives!! I love such anecdots or stories to tell beside the track to my self or sometimes friends, of course in shorter words, specially when it sounds like a huge machine a train, a steel factory a car engine , lots of energy and plenty of people enjoy it! it s like we are all so focused in our factory and everone loves the work

this is similar to the video of Kraftwerk performing live in 1970. both are so ahead of their time that the audience is confused. thank you for uploading.

Evian hasnt changed much

That's real techno son

Damn, that monitor though...

Thank you sir Luan! Iconic 90's hair!

I can't even imagine how it was when you took mdma and be there on dance floor and listen to this music...

I miss this style of music. I don’t dance so this great while reading.

9:46 start as you mean to go on

Polygon Window

What an amazing setlist - I'd love to hear start as you mean to go on live

Maestro in full effect👌🏼✨

This semms quite an advanced sound for 1993.....

Lovely to see he is playing with this little plastic Boss mixer BX-8. He still uses it in production, its mentioned on the Syro gear list. Love this little thing, have it, still works great, sounds awesome when overloaded and its a cutie and its cheap.

8:05 EXTREME CLOSE-UP

Saw Richard a few years later during his first NA tour. HE opened (!!!) for ORBITAL and MOBY. He had withdrawn under a military tarp. Fscking genius.

live in osmoze full songs polygon window - quoth [ hidden mix quoth EP 1992 ] afx - 942937 [ analogue bubblebath 3 1993 ] aphex twin - start as you mean to go on [ i care beacause you do 1995 ] aphex twin - digeridoo [ digeridoo EP , analogue bubblebath 1992 ] caustic window - garden of limitri [ joyrex EP 1993 ] caustic window - fantasia [ joyrex EP 1993]

Terriblement terrible, merci pour l'archive 😊

So, be me: September 2015, in love with the 90s rave scene and the power pill that fueled it. That night was my first time finally finding the elusive substance, and I remember vividly watching this video and trying to dance just like the dancers here. God that was fun; felt like I was right there beside Richard in 1991!

I hear the beginnings of the noise genre that really hadnt flurished until years later. Imminent must have heard this set.

The guy dancing is Paul Nicholson, the designer of the Aphex Twin logo. Brilliant upload thanks.
