  • Resident Advisor Mix of the Day: Tim Exile

    “This was recorded at a show I did at a festival called Riddim Collision in Lyon in September 2013. As always in the last few years it was completely improvised using the instrument I developed myself which I’ve been playing since 2008. It’s a studio-in-a-box centred around a looper, tied together with some workflow magic allowing me to wander freely: Making, looping, processing, resampling, chopping and so on. All the audio happens on the laptop inside the ensemble running in Reaktor… no analog modular I’m afraid… and it’s controlled by a flightcase full of MIDI controllers.” – Tim Exile

  • Oneohtrix Point Never signs to Warp with album for Sept 30th

    News just announced by Warp

    We are pleased to announce the signing of Oneohtrix Point Never, and his debut release for Warp ‘R Plus Seven’ due 30th September.

    “Music that gently triggers a series of images and feelings, none of which you can name and all of which seem entirely common.” – The New Yorker

    Under the moniker Oneohtrix Point Never, Daniel Lopatin’s debut on Warp contains many familiarities for listeners who have followed the acclaimed electronic music composer’s development over the last 5 years, however the new record is a major departure from previous work. Lopatin’s experimental inclinations lurk behind the scenes – in the concepts and procedures he adopts to create the tracks.

    ‘R Plus Seven’ is disruptive and hypnotic in equal measure, and the fun of it lies in trusting Lopatin as he guides you past – and often through – a succession of walls and mirrors.

  • Squarepusher ‘Ufabulum’ out now on Warp + astonishing new live show!

    “I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive”.

    Squarepusher’s new album ‘Ufabulum’ was released May 14/15 on Warp and he has been performing his brand new live A/V overload show at festivals this Summer + headline tour in Sept/Oct.

    Squarepusher on the track ‘Dark Steering’:
    “For a while I had apocalyptic nightmares about trails of nuclear missiles in the night sky. So I aimed to recreate that strange combination of exhilaration, terror and sadness both visually and emotionally through this piece. It lead to the idea of a spacecraft leaving earth at vast speed to escape, but oddly the music also made me think of it flying through a library. So I generated the visual aspect such that, as the piece progresses, it seems as if the viewer is ever accelerating through massive corridors of books.”

    Check the video trailer for a peek at his brain-melting new music and immersive LED video live set-up.

     

  • CLARK – Iradelphic Sessions + ‘Fantasm Planes’ EP

    After the release of his monstrous ‘Iradelphic’ LP earlier this year, hailed as Clark’s most masterful album to date, he has subsequently been releasing free downloads of the ‘Iradelphic Sessions’ from the copious amount of music he produced, and sounds he had collected, for the LP. That material will be followed up this September 3/4 with the ‘Fantasm Planes’ EP, featuring 3 reworks of key tracks from ‘Iradelphic’, as heard in his recent live shows, and 3 brand new tracks.

    Of the EP Clark says: This EP is more about conjuring the full mind-distortion that you get when you hear this music on loud sound systems…

    For more info visit his Warp page. The EP will be launched with a special headline show at London’s Koko on September 15.
