Aphex Twin Announces 25th Anniversary Reissue of Drukqs
Aphex Twin has announced a 25th anniversary reissue of his 2001 album Drukqs, set for release on 30th October via Warp Records. The reissue is significant as it returns the double album to wide physical availability for the first time in years and, with its return, the artist's entire catalogue will once again be available on vinyl.
Drukqs was Richard D. James's fifth studio album as Aphex Twin and his first full-length release since 1996's Richard D. James Album, spanning 30 tracks including the widely known piano piece "Avril 14th". The anniversary edition will be issued as a 4xLP black vinyl set, a 2xCD edition with an eight-page booklet, and a double cassette, alongside a direct-to-consumer box set featuring a poster and logo stencil, with pre-orders open until 4th August. The release continues a recent run of archival activity from Aphex Twin, following 2024's Music from the Merch Desk compilation and an expanded reissue of Selected Ambient Works Volume II.
