On Tuesday, Radiohead celebrated the release of their TKOL RMX 1234567 album with an event in London that featured DJ sets by TKOL remixers Jamie XXCaribouLone and Illum Sphere.

You can download Yorke’s set, which featured tracks from Headhunter, Madvillian, Aphex Twin and Ramadanman, and watch the singer play records on The Boiler Room website.

Next up for Yorke is a mix he did for the BBC’s 6Mix, which will air on Sunday, Oct. 17th.
