Ryan Wyer, a 12-year-old kid from Rush, was spotted by Aphex Twin (real name Richard David James) after making several fan videos on his YouTube account.

CIRKLON3 is Aphex Twin’s first video since the infamous Windowlicker clip, which was released in 1999 – five years before Wyer was even born.

Pitchfork reports that the musician found Wyer through his YouTube channel, where he regularly posts fan videos - a 2014 video of him and his friends dancing around to Aphex Twin got over 82,000 views.

Fans are chalking it all down as a testament to his greatness:
