Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006–08 is the twenty-second EP by Richard D. James, released under his AFX moniker, the first EP under that alias since 2005's Analord. It was announced by Warp Records on 2 July 2015[5] and a listing appeared on Bleep.com on the same day.[6] An announcement for the EP also appeared on the Aphex Twin Twitter account on that date.[7] Along with Warp Records' announcement, "serge fenix Rendered 2", the first track on the EP, was made available for streaming on SoundCloud.[8]

The EP was re-released with extra tracks and different sequencing via James' Bleep Store on 20 July 2017.[9] The cover is by The Designers Republic, and bears notable similarity to that of Warp's first release, Forgemasters' "Track With No Name" from 1989.[10]

The four bonus tracks included on the 2017 re-release were also issued separately in 2019 as Manchester 20.09.2019, a limited edition 12" and digital EP release.[11][12]
