Recently started getting into Aphex Twin, really liking it. Can anyone recommend shit that's similar? Been listening to similar artists/radio on Spotify but so far haven't found any artist or album as prolific as Aphex Twin.

similar to what? he has lots of different shit
Angel Rivera
I guess I should have been more specific. My favorite song so far is Alberto Balsalm, if that helps.
Evan Barnes
If you like Aphex you might like Oneohtrix Point Never. Very different but it's hard to like one and not the other.
Isaiah Clark
Okay, definitely have some stuff of his on my backlog. Anywhere you'd recommend to start?
James Jackson
check out Luke Vibert and his many aliases
Plug - Drum & Bass For Papa
Wagon Christ - Tally Ho!
Luke Vibert - Yoseph
should work for a start
Jonathan White
Awesome thank you very much!
Landon Jackson
No idea why he is rarely mentioned here, great artist.
Joshua Hall
Fuck Buttons
Luis Flores

Good taste. Alberto Balsalm is his best track.
Joseph Gomez

Oliver Gutierrez
someone remind me how opn with his synthpop and new age background is remotely similar to aphex with his rave and acid background again
Nathaniel Allen
It's a bath-themed song
Carson Smith
How has no one said Boards of Canada yet?
Noah Flores
OPN makes IDM-like music with a great sense of counterpoint and polyrhythm, like Aphex. The strong pulse is just implied and teased instead of drummed.
It's true they don't really sound similar, but they both share a hard-to-describe intuitive sense of rhythm that often makes fans of one enjoy the other. I think it's a bit more apparent when you compare Aphex's ambient stuff.
Also, OPN only really uses new age synths and samples (and even then, that was only for a few years in his long career), not compositions. And synthpop only applies to some of his work.
Carter Rogers
Check out The Tuss
I think it was a project RDJ did but I'm not sure.
Anything Richard does is gold
James Perry
how can an album be prolific
do you know what that word means
Hunter Peterson
Both are from different schools of thought and it wasn't until GoD came out that they ever converged musically just because of how GoD utilities a lot of the similar emotional tones AT was trying to capture in the 90s which GoD is so openly admitting.
You can also look at OPN's early ambient work and compare it to SAWII which would be a fair comparison given the use of synths on both.
But they don't really cross in the same was as say Authechre and AT does and Lopatin is less of a playful technical mindset and more of an ideas and concepts guy
Christopher Cruz
It's unlikely. I've never heard of anyone looking for more prolific artists either.
Parker Jackson
How has no one said Rolando Simmons yet?
Gabriel Wilson
Igorrr
Jaxson Gonzalez
Bogdan Racynzki and FUCKING SQUAREPUSHER
James Reed
Mt.Saint michael.
Jaxson Cruz
Fuck, i was gonna say Squarepusher
Liam Morris
Yeah, Rolando Simmons is fucking great.

if you're a huge fan of Richard's work RS/Trackermatte is worth a listen, and if you're not convinced Richard actually played his music at Day For Night so dude is literally Aphex-approved™
Isaiah Hughes
no one's said EOD? come on guys
Carson Wright
Arovane and Phonem are great if you're into that more mellow but still technical sound
Liam Barnes
His new album on band camp sounds really good. If you like the earlier, more lighthearted sounding Aphex stuff then yeah, EOD is worth exploring.
I would also rec

Matthew Stewart
He and Sd Laika are underrated as fuck.
Also, I liked them both well before I discovered RDJ also likes them. That was some nice taste affirmation.
Cameron Murphy
pilotredsun has some great music but he's a better cartoonist than musician, IMO.
Cooper Clark
Yeah, forgot to mention SD Laika. He played some of his shit too at DFN
Gabriel Murphy
