While discovering and sharing set recordings is commonplace in the Aphex Twin fandom, his latest performance might be the most exclusive yet.
According to various reports, the enigmatic and highly influential producer recently took over DJ duties at his friend's wedding. However, we cannot confirm whether or not he played “Cha Cha Slide.”

Aphex Twin is known for his unconventional and unabashed approach to electronic sound design, but beneath his aggressive tracks lie some of the most beautiful and enchanting ambient songs to ever hit the airwaves. These intoxicating tunes are, on the surface, perfect for a celebration of everlasting love, but that wasn’t the case.
In a recording shared by a wedding guest on X, Aphex Twin can be seen performing from a modest DJ booth with nothing but a small projection screen behind him. Instead of family-friendly sounds and a touching montage of the bride and groom, he opted for drum & bass with striking visuals featuring his iconic distorted face, as seen on the cover of the 1996 album Richard D. James Album.

In addition to Aphex Twin, a wedding guest also reported that Luke Vibert took to the stage alongside an undisclosed DJ from record label Future Retro. At the time of writing, no footage of these performances had surfaced.
