AFX is an alias of Richard David James, an electronic musician most widely known as Aphex Twin. Under the moniker AFX, James explores terrain that might be considered more experimental and underground than some of his work attributed to Aphex Twin. AFX releases exhibit James's proficiency and diversity within the realm of electronic music, delving into genres like techno, acid, and ambient.

James's discography as AFX is marked by an eclectic range of tracks, with releases "umil 25-01" and "orphaned deejay selek 2006-2008" showcasing his knack for crafting beats that fuse a disjointed sense of rhythm with an unquestionable control over melodious synth work. The release "oberheim blacet1b/simple slamming b 2/midi pipe1c sds3time cube/klonedrm" continues in the vein of complex, textural soundscapes that refuse to sit comfortably within any single genre of electronic music. "Serge fenix Rendered 2" is a testament to AFX's ability to channel raw analog synthesis into compelling auditory experiences, while "Hangable Auto Bulb" harkens back to the mid-'90s with breakbeats and jungle influences that were ahead of their time, predating the widespread popularization of such sounds in electronic music circles. James’s work as AFX remains a crucial touchstone for aficionados of electronic music, reflecting the artist's relentless ingenuity and impact on the genre.
