After confirming the arrival of the Cheetah EP, rebooted IDM god Aphex Twin has returned with a new video, which, believe it or not, is his first in 17 years.

Amazingly, the clip for "CIRKLON3 [ Колхозная mix ]" was crafted by a 12-year-old, Dublin resident Ryan Wyer. Apparently, Aphex Twin discovered Wyer's work through his YouTube channel epic1:40d Gaming.

Down below, you can watch the results. As you'll see, there are a lot of Richard D. James masks, some not so in sync dance routines and a heaping pile of youthful charm. Best of all, the video ends with "To Be Continued."

As for Cheetah, it arrives on July 8 via Warp.
