> his music has a childlike element to it that I haven’t heard in any other artist

aphex twin is probably my all time favorite artist but i don't really care for the usual suspects that people tend to lump together with him (autechre, venetian snares). the reason is that he is an artist with total mastery of rhythm and electronic music production, and he PLAYS with it and has FUN.

the only other artist i've heard that has a similar playful mastery is J-Lin, and it's no surprise that richard is a fan
