Aphex Twin: Alberto Balsalm
James Murphy’s Bowie remix, Kishi Bashi, Boston Bun’s “Flasher” and more in our look at the songs we tweeted this week
Niki Roberton, founder of LA-based record label IAMSOUND, is typically busy discovering cutting-edge artists like Charli XCX and Taken By Trees or working on forward-thinking museum gigs at MOCA Los Angeles. But for her #PrivateJam, the industrious young woman chose a classic with Aphex Twin’s “Alberto Balsalm.” She tells us, “I love Aphex Twin; Richard D. James is a genius. I’ve learned a lot about visuals and music from his records. I find his music strangely comforting and always tend to go back and listen when I’m in need of inspiration.”
