Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on August 18, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Aphex Twin! May your celebrations be as delightfully unpredictable and brilliantly chaotic as your groundbreaking beats. From pioneering electronic music to founding Rephlex Records, you've consistently kept us guessing—and dancing—in equal measure.

Whether it's the hypnotic rhythms of "Windowlicker," the surreal genius behind "Come to Daddy," or simply that mischievous grin you flash in every iconic image—your creativity remains timelessly eccentric. Here's hoping this year brings even more sonic wizardry and fewer nightmares about distorted faces chasing us down hallways!

Cheers to another orbit around the sun filled with glitchy grooves and endless innovation!
