  • I love Aphex Twin

    I love Die Antwoord

    I love dubstep

    Sometimes combining all the things you love together just doesn't work, as is the case here.

  • Rephlex records (Aphex Twin's label) released 2 compilation CDs full of dubstep before the name dubstep had even caught on. Grime and Grime 2. I'm pretty sure a lot of the Rephlex parties in the UK had grime acts playing on them in mid '00's. So if anything RDJ was pushing it when it first came out.

  • Doing something i learned how to do 30 years ago and could do in my sleep for a shitload of cash because my name is so huge? Yes please!

  • THE CONVERSATION SHOULDNT BE ABOUT HOW DUBSTEP SUCKS (WHICH YES IS TRUE) BUT ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE DIE ANTWOORD IS AT EVERYTHING THEY DO.

  • Lol at everyone hating on dubstep. I like all kinds of music. Why can't you listen to both heavy, tear-your-face-off dubstep and chilled out and serious stuff like Burial? I listen to braindance, techno, dubstep, jazz, funk, ambient and whatnot! If RDJ wants to drop some heavy dubstep, then Jesus Christ why can't he? Stop being elitist pricks about everything and let people have fun

  • This isn't very good dubstep, but there's lots of good stuff

    I mean with the amount of hype Burial (Who before he revealed his identity people speculated was Richard D James) , etc. get it surprises me that people still say 99% or some ridiculous figure of dubstep is rubbish...

  • but you people are frigging idiots if you think that richard d. james is the kind of artist that just automatically goes along with what the 'respectable' electronic music scene is feeling. dumbout brostep music that makes "'real electronic fans" "sick" by being "immature" and "stupid" and "repetitive" and "soulless" hmm, sounds like how old people trash everything new that kids love. i'm guilty of it too, but aphex twin isn't some paragon of tastefulness. see: windowlicker and etc etc etc

  • @nichobert "but aphex twin isn't some paragon of tastefulness. see: windowlicker and etc etc etc"

    those are parodies of mainstream media (and rightfully so)

  • eh most dubstep doesnt sound like this. this is brostep. dubstep is real music.

  • why is aphex twin playing this garbage with these twats? jesus christ, he must have to pay rent

  • @oayia

    I thought the same haha

  • fuck elitism. love dubstep, love aphex twin and stop being such selfish pricks. you can love both dubstep, aphex twin, penderecki, and nicki minaj. so fuck you and just love the music.

  • MCing pokemans... now i've seen it all

  • Y'ALL ARE ALL FUCKING DUMB o.O

    fuck you

    your a DICK

    dumbass

  • This is badass, I hope when I see DA and AT this collab on something this cool!

  • i love that rich is playing dubstep! makes him even cooler than ever! and thats big word cuz he was cool enough before

  • first of all what you tards are calling "dubstep" are things that people like aphex twin, frontline assembly, KMFDM, squarepusher, and skinny puppy have been doing since the early 90's.... it's just become a basis for tracks as opposed to just breaks... sure it sounds good but don't forget it's just drum n bass at half speed with the bass jacked up

  • lol 99.999% of dubstep is shit

  • @viktorybomb And the other 0.001% is silence.

  • Lets get a few things straight.

    1. This is not Richards music, its Koan Sound by Akira.

    2. 99% of dubstep is shit because they go way over the top with it.

    3. /IF/ Richard ever uses "dubstep" in his own music he wont do it like a complete retard, he would do it in moderation and make it sound good!

    4. The mighty Aphex Twin is never going to succumb to this pathetic fad known as dubstep.

    5. Fingers crossed for a new Aphex Twin album by the end of 2011.

    THUMBS UP FOR THE GOOD OF APHEX TWIN!

  • @Lordamum4d Aphex Twin has already produced over 150 dubstep tracks, and posted clips to warp's blog...

    Also, it's Koan Sound - Akira. The sample is from the 1980's anime Akira funnily enough. And AT wants to produce an entire dubstep and drumstep album for 2013... you truly know nothing. Stop hyping at people if you're not going to be correct about it.

  • @Lordamum4d Also, Aphex Twin released an album waaaaay before the end of 2011... You're a moron.

  • @BaseParkour Your an idiot.

    The last Aphex Twin album was Drukqs in 2001 you fool. Do your research.

  • @Lordamum4d what album was seaside specials on then?

  • @Lordamum4d i have his latest album mate it was a special buy if you saw him at the led festival

  • @BaseParkour Nope, you're so full of shit its unbelievable.

    Once again you haven't backed up any of your ridiculous claims with any evidence. (there isn't any)

    There is no such album as "seaside specials". There was however a 1:13 long video called "AFX Seaside Specials" that was a teaser for the Bloc Weekend festival. Also said video didn't even contain any music by Richard.

    This is what we call a source > brainchops net/2010/11/afx-seaside-specia­ls-video-not-new.html

  • @Lordamum4d *Akira by Koan Sound. Retard.

  • @lskdmflksdnflksdfn Yep, I got that backwards. Never listened to any of there music anyway. Thanks for pointing that out though buddy.

  • My man Rich can create outstanding music any genre he chooses. Even the weak ones (dubstep).

  • this would be amazing to see live and one some form of md substances.

  • tis a mighty shame to see him playing behind some crappy mcing and toning down the set list so much

    bloc was a sick set though, more bpms etc, play at Glade already though!

  • ☠  ●

  • ☠ ● wreed snap je ?!!!!

  • ☠ ● Wreeeed!!!!

  • I really don't care about genre stapling, as much as other people seem to. I find it rather surprising since Richard has jumped across so many genres and labels since the late 80s (even escaping whatever the fuck drill'n'bass was). I enjoy some dubstep, I enjoy Richard's music. And I'm really sure he's been making "dubstep" songs since the 90s for damn sure. It's nothing new just cause it's on Pitchfork, folks.

  • richard growin that hair back out?

  • I don't care about the genre, but i hope that isn't on the new album, no offense. I hope its a bit more creative than dubstep+rapping...

  • @zwerty007 yea to be honest this sounds just generic...

  • cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooollll

    

  • wanna see these guys do a record together!!!!!!

  • BEER!! at end when slowpoke yells "get faded"* rdj trys to cover his ears lol

  • 3 FREAKS on stage ♥

  • LOL nice knowing you, Aphex

  • Oh and Aphex Twin has earned the right to make whatever the fuck he wants, whether you like it or not.

  • @howincrediblyshit the thruth

  • fuck yeah 90% of dubstep is complete shit. hell 90% of aphext twin is complete shit, and i've listened to most of it. This comin from someone who's been listening to techno since MTV was cool, most of it is crap. but when you find a real gem like aphex twin - vordhosbn you really appreciate the crappiness of the rest of it.

  • @immugio Agreed. I've been listening to all manner of electronic music for as long as i have been listening to music - And it was Come To Daddy that got me hooked - but Aphex Twin has such a varied style every other release your bound not not to like it all and anyone who says they do is lying or incredibly open minded (which just isn't possible). I think i only like about 16 or 17 Aphex tracks out of the hundreds and hundreds he's made. Oh an 95% of dubstep is complete shit.

  • @immugio I disagree,the only album I didn't enjoy by him was ambient works II and parts of Richard d. James album, everything else I love, including everything he's released underneath different pseudonyms.

  • @immugio The fact that you call it "techno" makes you a fag

  • fucking brutttttaaallllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • what did all of you find in this cheesy Antwoord??

  • LOL Fok julle naaiers!!!

  • @stoyashot - take my initial comment with a grain of salt, all you fucking babies, Richard released some of the first dubstep records with Rephlex's Grime comps, he's been there, and moved on quickly, appropriately. i have no worries of him ever confining himself to a sound such as whatever is considered dubstep. his experiments could never be fully lumped into one genre. can anyone that loves and is knowledgeable about dubstep not admit that 90% of it complete shit???

  • You DONT learn to make music by making the SAME music all day! Stop thinking that you know everyting because you dont and listen or talk to people who make music, even your PARENTS could/should know that creativity and succes comes from experimentation!

  • @stoyashot you said it! creativity & experimentation go hand in hand! how boring life would be if everyone stayed on the same track, repeating the same things over & over....

  • This would have been a million times better if it were Aphex Twin and the Beastie Boys

  • this is friggin sick m.i.a. need sto hook up w aphex twin ... come to america and destroy all the weak ass shit PLEEASE

  • what the fuck is aphex twin the genius doing?

  • there wearing pokemon outfitts, how can you hate at all, fo sho

  • God forbid artists collaborate on any sort of level, I mean seriously people lighten up........

  • What's she saying, 'I'm old enough to pee'?

  • @klockwerk1 "I'm old enough to bleed, I'm old enough the breed"

  • song is akira by KOAN sound

  • These guys are aphex fans. They did some effort to promote him. See dudes comment below about what DJ'ing is and answer the dubstep question yourself. I don't think think he'd bother releasing this as an aphex twin track.

  • I dont know if this is a Richards track or not, but I want to see his approach to dubstep.

  • Wow, what a HORRIBLE fricken horrible MC!!!

  • Lol @04:07 it is gay beer!

  • hey you fucking retards, i will repeat what i said in a previous comment. this is NOT richard's track. he is doing what is known as "DJing", a new form of electronic performance discovered by scientists in the 80s, perhaps some of you have heard of it

  • @WillHerndon And he's DJing some terrible fucking shit, so RDJ can go suck a bag of dicks for what it's worth.

  • What is this shit, fucking dubstep and those buzzband cunts? WHAT THE FUCK APHEX, NO WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT!? THE FUCK!? Why are you going this to me arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • WHY?? WHY aphex makin dubstep?? there is too many new dubstep makers, all the same shit, why everybody forget about drum and bass, digital hardcore, breakbeats etc. in one moment??

  • @bonecinho he is DJing. that is someone else's song

  • @WillHerndon The question is...who's track is it? I love it! Anyone know?

  • @PDzero dead of the vines - life is the track

  • @viktorybomb Thanks, but I can't seem to find it. Got a link?! Much appreciated!

  • @bonecinho Dude, its obviousley one of aphex's weird jokes...

  • Dubstep in your face. ZASS!!

  • Boah geil n rappendes Pikachu :D

  • aphricanbooniescratchers!!!

  • How the hell did this collaboration arise?

    Aphex Twin is god

    Die Antwoord is lols.

  • rdj reality show on hbo

  • Well you'd certainly never expect a bunch of South Africans dressed in pikachu costumes rapping while Aphex Twin spin live. Die Antwoord is making the world a more fantastical place! <3 you guys

  • never thought i'd see or hear this.

  • lmao hes a fucking pikachu :D

  • grimey

  • I was there, I was there!

  • who gives a shit wtf genre hes playing: its good music and i would have loved to be there. just cos there's a snare on the third beat you don't have to write it off. haterzz

  • @willk2009 yeah who gives a shit it aphex fucking twin and he's awesome

  • Mooi man !

  • The fact that i wasnt there makes me want to fucking kill myself.

    I'm honestly upset right now.

  • Yo-Landi + Ninja + Aphex Twin = FOKKEN SICK !!!!

  • wow... just wow....

  • Блядь, ну ужасно же

  • I miss the Richard D James from the 90's.

  • this depressed me

    both amazing artist

    just i was going to go led but time went very quickly and all of a sudden i missed

    it looks so sick i would have done anything to be there.

    :(

  • LOL.

  • I can imagine Aphex Twin would enjoy the sound of particular Dubstep music, does this mean he is 'into Dubstep'? Die Antwoord are different, it's possible that this is intriguing to Aphex Twin. I believe the best musicians are interested in how sound makes them feel, not necessarily what it represents how it is presented. If the music we listen to is constantly judged and restricted by social and cultural convention, when will music truly be enjoyed?

  • @decklan88 Man you're opening a big can of worms for a youtube comment, haha.

    Visceral vs. contrived? Subjective, objective? Real art/beauty is fleeting / lasts forever? Music is enjoyed when it's not being hated, and there are fans of everything. As a musician, I have my own personal filter of music I listen to, just like anyone else. Honestly man, the "best musicans", or anything.. it's all subjective.

    Anyway, I agree on the whole dubstep labeling thing.. & Die Antwoord is intriguing indeed.

  • Love A-Twin, love Die Antwoord, not feeling this at all though.

  • what an epic combo.

    btw: a fokken pikachu, koala and dog suit???

    so zef!

  • does this beat have a name?

  • @byrne300 it's called koan sound by akira

  • @molonbandit

    we all know die antwoord isn't much of music??

    you can't hear a damn thing in this recording...but die antwoord are the $hit...they'r on a different level..you've gotta feal the zef to get it...

  • STOP SHOUTING OVER RICHARD'S MUSIC. Damn mc's

  • lol 19 Bieber fans are dislike this video ¬¬

  • @b00y4kk4 Would you shut up about Justin Bieber already? I understand you want the highest rated comment but if you hate JB so much, don't even mention his name. especially on an AFX upload.

  • i don't understand what u guys are whining about to aphex twin , the beat is the only thing that makes this song good, and it's made by him. That Die Antwoord isn't much of music we all know. But Aphex Twin makes them sounds better .. so who cares ?

  • holly shit that looks fokkin tight

  • i don't get it

  • How can you judge afx like this? This is what he wants to do.. He just wanted to play as a dj for some guys.. So what? And now about the dubstep.. If you think it's a trend i agree.. But there are many artists with quality creations.. Don 't generalise.. We may be the listener but we are not the ultimate judge.. And just to remind you, when afx 's music was shown in mtv in 1997 is was also a trend.. So why don 't you just chill..

  • ...* it was..

  • out of cash richard? how bout doing mixes for MCs with IQs of 26?

  • nothing in this video makes sense.

  • MAN. I wish i could hgave seen this. Die Antwoord excite men in a way I've never experienced before....

  • @clevhaus - yeah, nice try, but this is just about the complete opposite of what i meant - if RDJ were to fall into the dubstep trend, it would be a step backwards in his continually pioneering career. i don't actually think he'd do this, as evidenced by the last ten years of his output. but clevhaus, you may have just not been paying attention yourself since 1997.

  • this is sick haters don't even realize! this sounds crazy!

  • Haters just aint zef.

  • DUDE THIS AINT APHEX TWIN!!! ITS KOAN SOUND: AKIRA!!! and then it turns into some disgusting garbage :(

  • lol aphex takes the headphones off a bit to mute yolan-di screams at the end :)

  • Comment removed

  • NO MORE DUBSTEP. Please Richard, don't go down that road.

  • @bpprice There's nothing wrong with dubstep. This right here is Brostep, it's like what Gangsta Rap is to Hip-Hop.

  • @AimmarCair no no no, brostep is the bad stuff. admittedly this is brostep, although of a better calibre than most. the real good shit is the old school dubstep- minimal, not quite 2 step garage with dub reggae influence

  • @niggeraguan I agree :) *clutches Return II Space*

  • @bpprice

    If this sound is Richard's standard for DubStep i'm fine with it. Sounds allot better than those endless "whobble" bass-lines most DubStep artists use.

  • @bpprice Please Richard stop being the pioneering artist we know you as. Just do what you did in '97 over and over and over and over.

  • @bpprice

    I think if he does that, you will love it. the most important thing is, that he releases another album. i wish he would. :(

  • @bpprice Rich can turn his hand to whatever the fuck he wants.

  • @bpprice WHAT IF YOU GO EAT A BAG OF DICK ?

  • @Skovde13 - A bag of your MOM's dicks??

  • @bpprice ....Bravo.

  • @bpprice I agree, Aphex seems to be done.

  • @mastakaspa - who said anything about him being "done"???

  • @bpprice It's understood for those who's known him for a long time. Done is the one who starts to imitate his own disciples.

  • @bpprice who gives a shit what genre hes playing: its good music and just cos there's a snare on the third beat you don't have to write it off.

    as for Die Antwoord, words can't even express...

  • @bpprice well its not annoying at least

  • @bpprice Agree mate, dupstep has its place...but not with RDJ!

  • @bpprice NO MORE CLOSED MINDS. Please humanity, don´t go down that road

  • @lucasaguirre777 Oh, please! He helped introduce the dubstep/grime genre to the world how many years ago? And now the genre is completely over-saturated and redundant and commoditized. I know this isn't even an Aphex track, so I really don't fear this anyway. It's the sentiment, you fools. Going with the dubstep trend at this point WOULD be having a closed mind. Forward, forward, forward...

  • @bpprice u said it, he kind of helped introduce the fucking genre, true musicians are over trends, if he thinks antwrd rapping goes well with a Koan Sound track, let the man work.I am sure that if Richard D james put his hand in dubstep he will come with fresh new ideas,just like Amon Tobin is doing right now. in fact im hopìng he do some dubstep tracks! thats the way things evolve and not get stuck.. Just because now dubstep is a trend doesnt mean its bad.for me that is a closed mind thinking

  • he started it! first grime collections were released on Reflex!

  • @bpprice backstabber

  • I hope they're grateful to be on stage with Aphex Twin.

  • einfach nur asozial, was sind das für low-lifes? wo haben se denn die raus gelassen, diese opfer. einfach nur abgefuckte asis...wie kann einem das nur gefallen? seid ihr auch so asoziale prolenten?

  • @onemillionfriendsGER hättest du ahnung von musik würdest du wissen, dass - erstens - Aphex Twin der beste electro künstler ever ist und - zweitens - die antwoord wohl die ausgefallenste und alternativste hip-hop group der letzen 15 jahre ist :P

  • Next time leave your stupid pets at home PLEASE!!!

  • pika pika

  • are they dressed like pokemon?!!

  • is this a AFX tune? 

  • rubbish, I've seen better on Amateur Night at the Apollo

  • It's good that, once in a while, GOD comes down from The Electronica Heavens to play simple beats for us mere humans.

  • It's good that, once in a while, GOD comes down from The Electronica Heavens to play simple beats for us mere humans.

  • aphex twin reduced to dubstep. is this normal?

  • can't beleave this. :D

  • the comments are ridiculous...omg aphex twin DJs for a ridiculous hip hop act...who cares its all in good humor and its not like theres some kind of purity in sitting behind a laptop and pushing play that these mcs have ruined

  • aphex twin dropping dubstep @L.E.D I WAS THERE

  • Die Antwoord just sound like shit. Would of pissed me of royally if I was RIchard.

  • Yo-landi's hook:
