Someone calling themselves user48736353001 appeared on Soundcloud a couple of days ago and uploaded what sounded like unreleased Aphex Twin tracks. There's been no official confirmation from him, but the quality of the music plus various clues that have been found by people investigating this all point to it being Aphex Twin himself having a bit of fun. The story's been covered here:

I've had a listen to a few of the first tracks uploaded and they definitely sound like early Aphex Twin. I've been a fan for years, and there's so many elements that are pretty much unique to his work that are present in these tunes. and if they're not Aphex Twin, then whoever has created them is incredibly talented. i've had a crack at making Aphex Twin type music as he's a massive influence on me and haven't got even close.

It is. To my knowledge no major artist has ever done this before.

There's now over 100 tracks from that user all available to download. I grabbed them all yesterday in case they're taken back down. Apparantly there was one track which featured on Aphex Twin's 26 Mixes For Cash album that was removed pretty quickly, which I'd say confirms these tracks are by Aphex Twin.
