The 11 tracks, dating between 2005 and 2011, have been confirmed as authentic by Autechre's Sean Booth

A collection of previously unreleased tracks credited to Autechre and alias Gescom have been leaked onto YouTube.

Since being initially shared, Sean Booth, one half of Autechre alongside Rob Brown, has verified the tracks as authentic and provided a tracklist in the post's comments section. There are 11 tracks in total, and six of them are credited as Gescom cuts – Gescom included Booth and Brown, as well as Russell Haswell, Rob Hall and a number of other artists. Four others are listed as Autechre productions, and there's also a DJ mix by Booth.

In a comment about the tracks in the YouTube video, Booth wrote: "It's one of two CDs I burned for playing a DJ set at Dave Hanal's birthday party in MCR. I left it in his laptop by mistake, oops. Not much of it's solo stuff (two tracks, you can guess) and there's a few I didn't work on but were recorded in my studio, apologies to those concerned (who will remain nameless of course). Most of it was unfinished and a few are just parts, or they cut off early etc."
