Using WhoSampled.com, you can find some of the songs that Aphex Twin has sampled. It turns out that he has sampled over 75 songs, including (among many other songs of varying popularity):
- "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band
- "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin
- "Soul Pride" by James Brown
- "Uranium" by Kraftwerk
- "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell
- "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd
- "Funky Drummer" by James Brown (who hasn't?)
- "Run's House" by Run-DMC
It seems like he has been sampling since the beginning of his career; according to WhoSampled, the oldest song he uses sample on is from 1992, and the most recent is from 2015.
