digman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Enough to never have to work a conventional job, fill a castle with music studios, buy a tank and not release anything for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Licensing would be the big one I would have thought in the 90s. 50k for a DJ set is a number I heard quite a few years back too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 He's also been making money from previous releases for many years. just one dedicated fan would spend plenty on his stuff. Ask yourself how much you spent on his stuff pre-syro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself how much you spent on his stuff pre-syro. If you're a vinyl freak, then hardly anything will have gone to him since you'll likely be buying on the second hand market. £325 for Analord complete set, all of which went to the NorthernFusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatdylf Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah I read in an interview posted on here he was collecting royalties in the mid 90s from top 40 pop tunes or something like that. Advertisements, anonymous commercial work it seems. Thats where the money probably is, not to mention his super successful personal work. It is somewhat speculation though. ...I'm still waiting to learn which pop songs he wrote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't his music (and a lot of other Warp) used a lot in UK TV? Like BBC and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wumbo Man Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Most of his dollar nowadays is probably left over from the 90s. I know he mentioned that he was a multi-millionaire sometime around the Windowlicker release. I can't imagine Drukqs was a commercial success but he's probably made a fair bit since then for gigs and dj sets. Syro must be one of his best selling releases already.

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't his music (and a lot of other Warp) used a lot in UK TV? Like BBC and such Yeah man. I've heard a load of Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada tracks on Top Gear. Channel 4 have also used their fair share of Warp material over the years.

iamgreg Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Wasn't his music (and a lot of other Warp) used a lot in UK TV? Like BBC and such For sure. BBC use a lot of his older stuff in progs. Channel 4 used a CCAI track on a recent advert of their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Apparently Minipops was used in an episode of Made in Chelsea. I'm pretty sure that's C4 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YO303 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 i heard he sold over 9000 but i could be wrong, i saw that figure of over 9000 a few years back but i could be mistaken if not 9000 maybe 12000, again maybe this is false memory but i remember vividly the number 9000 and aphex twin in the same sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's over 9000!!! </dbz> He probably makes most of his money from licensing to BBC, etc, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I reckon Syro sold a shit ton. CCAI and the 12" probably not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchgf Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I heard piano un10 it happened in a Starbucks last week so at least a few cents of royalties are coming up his way soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Consider his music is pretty much timeless, it's not forged by fashion, so it's appeal doesn't quickly fade. So I presume sales will continue for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skibby Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 does he do any of the selling himself? pretty sure he has help with the distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he would have won the Grammy if he didn't outsell the competition. Isn't Billboard basically just honoring record sales, at the end of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
