Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006–08 is an extended play record by the musician and producer Richard D. James under his alias AFX. It is the first EP using that moniker since 2005's Analord. It was announced by Warp Records on 2 July 2015[1] and a listing appeared on Bleep.com on the same day.[2] An announcement for the EP also appeared on the Aphex Twin Twitter account on that date.[3] Along with Warp Records' announcement, "serge fenix Rendered 2", the first track on the EP, was made available for streaming on SoundCloud.[4]

The EP was re-released with extra tracks and different sequencing via James' Bleep Store on 20 July 2017. 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.[5]

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.[6] [7]
