Richard D James' classic album from 1992, re-pressed countless times but still sounding as vital as it did way back when. Still probably the most uplifting and nostalgic thing in the AFX catalogue...Best electronic music album of the late 20th century. A proper gateway drug to the myriad microcosms of Richard D. James a.k.a. Aphex Twin. 100% essential in any collection. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are the only compon…

Tip! *2024 stock* Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2 is the ninth EP by the British electronic musician Richard D James. It was released under the pseudonym Aphex Twin on 23 January 2015 on Warp. It is meant as a companion piece to his fifth studio album, Drukqs (2001).

Tip! *2024 stock* Quality control has never been much of a problem for Boards of Canada. The duo has magnified its legacy at least partly by indulging in generous spells of inactivity. The infrequency of BoC's output has not only fed into the mythos of their carefully cultivated brand, it's also engendered a level of trust that's served as a consolatory point of pride for fans who've felt shut out by the duo's otherwise total remove from the peripheral obligations (live shows, videos, interviews…

*2024 stock* "After all the intrigue, hidden codes on 12" records that went on to sell for astronomical amounts of money on eBay, adverts on Cartoon Network, a song played at a Tokyo intersection, and other covert shenanigans that made the Daft Punk teaser campaign look prosaic, here I am, in the Warp offices in North West London, signing a disclaimer ahead of an exclusive listen to the new Boards Of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. It's a fitting way to listen to a record by a band whose obses…

*2024 stock* In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo's albums Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats "come out and live …

Tip!  "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…

Originally released in 1993, Surfing On Sine Waves is the second album released under the Warp Artificial Intelligence series (the series also includes the two titular compilations, as well as contributions by Autechre, The Black Dog, F.U.S.E. and more). Surfing On Sine Waves is also the sole album released under Richard D. James’ (aka Aphex Twin’s) Polygon Window alias. The name “Polygon Window” originally appeared as a track name under Richard D. James’ other pseudonym The Dice Man, as the tra…

On Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, Daniel Lopatin turns his alias back on itself, building an FM‑radio hallucination that scans through pop ballads, new‑age satire and junk‑media collage. Mutant songs, warped DJ chatter and scavenged broadcast detritus form a self‑portrait of OPN’s first decade, mapped as a day spent spinning the dial of a half‑broken soft‑rock station.

On Tranquilizer, Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) turns a cache of vanished 90s/early‑2000s sample CDs into a shimmering, otherworldly meditation on digital memory. Ambient‑new‑age rompler pads, anonymous whooshes and muzak fragments are re‑cut into vivid sound collages that feel more stupefying than sedative, tracing beauty inside the most ordinary sonic debris.

The idea for a remix LP came about following the incredibly positive reception that greeted “The Flow Across Borders” upon its release in may last year. After the services of The Orb and Richard Norris were secured by the label, Frazer and Ali asked some of their favourite artists on Castles in Space to contribute remixes for the project, which subsequently grew into a wonderful overview of both the scope and diversity of the band’s output and the skill and sensitivity of the remixers. Frazer: “…

On Situations | Useless Mouths, The Mistys pivot from solitude to shared euphoria, channelling restless electronics and Beth Roberts’ shapeshifting vocals into a bright, subversive celebration of joy as fuel, shelter and quietly defiant energy.

*2023 stock* Ali O’May and Frazer Brown met in early 2018 while performing with their respective bands at an Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) gig in Edinburgh. With obvious common interests, further discussions lead a few months later to Ali passing Frazer a USB drive filled with stems recorded directly from Ali’s vast modular system. Across August and September 2019, Frazer used about a dozen of those stems as the foundation for a set of tracks, building them into fully realised pieces across a…

On KCRW Session, Oneohtrix Point Never’s MYRIAD Ensemble re‑imagines four Age Of‑era pieces as live, tectonic mini‑epics. “Love In The Time Of Lexapro,” “RayCats,” “Toys 2” and “Chrome Country” are stretched, bent and coloured by a full band - Kelly Moran, ADR and Eli Keszler - turning studio collages into muscular, sci‑fi chamber performances.

“We’ll Take It” is Oneohtrix Point Never’s most terrifying hydraulic banger on Age Of: a car‑dealership nightmare where late‑stage consumer desire turns into industrial, post‑digital overload. Swerving drums, “sideways ragtime” piano and mangled vocals enact the moment when “we don’t even know what the price is” but buy anyway, stretching under four minutes into a cavernous, supernatural infinity.

Twenty-five years on, Warp returns Aphex Twin's Drukqs to physical formats. Thirty tracks across a hundred minutes: prepared piano miniatures, drill'n'bass with the brakes cut, musique concrète, a voicemail from his parents. The last gap in the vinyl discography, closed.

Tip!  »Inferno« retains its characteristic melodies and atmospheres, drawing on the esoteric influences of »Societas X Tape« (the BoC 2019 NTS mix for Warp Records’ 30th anniversary) as well as the dark atmosphere of »Tomorrow’s Harvest«, which is further intensified by the increased use of spoken-word recordings. The first BoC album in thirteen years has a running time of seventy minutes.

Scanner (British musician Robin Rimbaud) has been inventively active in Electronic Music since 1991 and been involved in a bewildering range of musical activities covering sonic art, concerts, installations, recordings and dance scores. His impeccable sonic credentials have seen him work with such luminaries as Bryan Ferry, Michael Nyman & Laurie Anderson. His debut DiN solo album comes at a rather strange time for many people. The onset of a global virus has shut down much of the world around u…

"Reflex" is Gábor Lázár's debut album on Raster. His new album is a collection of seven tracks, featuring an extended sound palette of percussions and synthesizers drawing our attention towards the essential soundscapes of techno while maintaining his distinct, uncompromising and meticulously detailed style. While the tracks do not follow traditional narratives, the album has an evolution: it gently builds up from challenging, unpredictable, and organically composed structures to linear yet play…

*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* Derma bids farewell to consciousness with Signore E Signori, Buonanotte... ("Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Night..."), an album that functions as a lullaby for insomniacs and a wake-up call for dreamers. The title's formal politeness contrasts with the sonic terrorism within, where power electronics meet dark humor in a distinctly Italian approach to noise. Each track reads like a segment from a late-night variety show broadcast from hell, where entertainmen…

Anushka Chkheidze + Robert Lippok continue their collaboration with »The Sky Was Out of Tune«. Its eight movements form a long-form ambient piece in constant flux: soundscapes emerge from electronic synthesis and layered textures, while small melodies, rhythmic patterns, metallic noises, or distortions drift through like clouds across the sky. But a sky that is out of tune is still a sky. What shifts is the register in which it speaks. »The Sky Was Out of Tune« emerges from a live performance fo…

"The story of each re-release begins with the original. In the late 90s, Uwe Zahn (Arovane), along with Robert Henke (Monolake) and Stefan Betke (Pole), began releasing music on Torsten Pröfrock’s (Dynamo) newly launched DIN label. This was a very inconspicuous undertaking, but fans of the flourishing IDM, glitch, and constantly evolving abstract techno genres quickly picked up on the quality of sound coming out of Germany. After a few successful EPs, Zahn began working on his debut full-length,…

Released in 1999 on Taylor Deupree’s 12k label, "optimal.lp" was the debut album by Dan Abrams under his Shuttle358 moniker. For its 25th anniversary, Keplar presents it on vinyl for the first time with three previously unreleased tracks—the digital version also includes a alternative version of "Tank" —as well as a new artwork recreated by Daniel Castrejón and a remaster by Andreas [LUPO] Lubich based on the original pre-masters that were been restored and cleaned up for the reissue project by …

*200 copies limited edition* "Listening from the 80’s to Ambient explorations in the form of IDM, Minimal Techno and other more experimental Glitch, Clicks & Cuts styles and its creative, playful use of rhythmical structures and sounds, inspired me to take a step out of my musical comfort zone into more beat driven area’s and so, I bought myself a MPC Key 37 and overwhelmingly started hitting the pads, pressing the keys, twisting the knobs, in attempt to let my musical history repeat itself with…

Of Paradise welcomes Seattle-based artist Hünter with his sophomore album, Mica, a sublime addition to the label’s ever-evolving musical catalogue and one that quickly acquires almost mythical status. Focused on the relationship between the digital age and the environment, Mica explores the extraction of natural resources, identity, memory, and what remains. A fusion of ambient soundscapes and deconstructed club rhythms, Mica questions erosion as both a physical and cultural consequence of moder…

Malasomma returns to Stochastic Resonance with his third full-length release, completing a conceptual journey that began with the remote isolation of Jura (2018) and the linguistic deconstruction of Neolingua (2024). While his previous records functioned as warnings inspired by George Orwell’s 1984, UMA is the sound of those prophecies coming to fruition. As we step into the blinding, digital glare of the present day, we no longer inhabit a hypothetical dystopia. We no longer need to imagine a B…

*2026 stock* Oval's album Popp started as a concept album. It was neither meant as a pop record nor as "the Markus Popp signature album". At first, Popp was all about playing around. And about changing the musical outlook from the earlier hyper-detailed, improvisational Oval style to straight-up sequencing, old-school glitch tricks and beat-making. Popp explains, "Working on these new 'club tracks' was like going from cucina povera (my 1990s student-budget glitch style) and hi-tech fusion cuisin…

**300 copies** Kaspi & Stride is a new project from Justin Tripp, best known as one half of the Georgia equation. Leanings has its origins in rigorous yet laid back studio sessions, dual personal practice sensibilities that seem to get at Tripp’s creative ethos as well as any descriptors might. The material here was born out of collaborative studio sessions with multi-instrumentalist Jimy Seitang (Conga Square / Stygian Stride) - the “Stride” of K&S. The music from these sessions has been rework…

**Edition of 500 compact discs with artwork by Robert Beatty unique to every individual copy. Each copy forms one distinct frame of a short film never to be viewed in its totality.** For the inaugural release on Quadrant Park, SDEM delivers a live recording with a twist: this set was recorded in early 2024 in a single take to an audience of one, at a now abandoned empty club space beneath a railway arch in Leeds. Following a series of physical and digital releases culminating with Vortices in 20…

London braingaze experimenters Seefeel return with Sol.Hz, their first full-length album in 15 years and a carrying-on of the hazy IDM that saw to their becoming one of Warp Records' most distinctive early signings. Famously among the first acts on the label to fold guitars into an electronic framework, the group again dissolve the adumbrations of shoegaze, dub and ambient techno, a now much-exploited sonic terrain by sound revivalists today. Tracks like 'Ever No Way' and 'Humidity Switch' drift…

Pétale Défoule opens with a bewildering piece of ’Intro'. Like the conductor of an orchestra, that she would have matrixed herself, the solo musician tunes all her sounds, raises her trombone, switches on all her instruments and friendly machines, calling all the creatures from the enchanted woods and wastelands to join in. Larsen touches everything so brilliantly, it’s stunning. Over the 8 tracks, we are transported by the heavy breaked bass of «Shygirl», the stepper accents of «Grosses bastos»…

Nothing that Fera commits to tape can really be considered a stopgap affair, nothing is temporary, everything is bustling, committing is breathing. “Divora Eco” is Fera’s latest pursuit into the inbetween hours after night and before dawn, the simple sounds left ringing in the ear after days of feasts and noise, a quiet roar against division and an immersive view into intimacy and resistance through sound. Tossing away as much embellishment as possible, melodies unfurl into drones, drones rot in…

*2026 stock* We are pleased to release the first full-length release of Purpurniy Dyadya (aka Purple Uncle) on Biardo Records! His work combines interesting natural textures, borrowing club pulsations, touching synthesis, percussion noises. It seems that the author speaks about natural and human states as if in the same way, and we feel the fluidity of being as a universal movement ... Several collaborations on the cassette reveal the production talent of Purpurniy Dyadya, with the help of which…

On Forever Neon Lights, James Adrian Brown swaps Pulled Apart By Horses’ guitar-slinging volatility for luminous, emotionally charged instrumentals, threading analogue synths, tape machines and strings through a glowing meditation on childhood wonder, creative stubbornness and hard-won hope.

Autechre, the pioneering British electronic duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, continues their illustrious catalogue of reissues with the long-awaited return of “Untilted” (originally released 2005) as a deluxe 2LP set via Warp Records. Out of print for more than 15 years, “Untilted” re-emerges as a crucial touchstone in the ever-unfolding journey of experimental electronica. Marked by eight monumental tracks, “Untilted” found Autechre pushing their sound to its most uncompromising and abstract: t…

Autechre albums come accompanied by their own set of instructions, demanding your undivided attention, a good sound system and a sufficiently high volume to illuminate proceedings as they were initially intended. They also require a considerable ingestion period, allowing enough time for your brain and senses to catch up with the seemingly impenetrable configurations and sonic algorithm's that seem to unfold before you. Those listeners who aren't willing to invest their time and participation in…

Gatefold 2LP reissue. Unavailable on any format for far too long. Includes download code for the album and a bonus live set. Autechre's classic second album from 1994, reissued for the first time in 15 years...  At bleeding’ last, Warp reissue one of their rarest gems, which Autechre themselves have referred to as conceiving as their “Warp record” - written to complement the label’s early ‘90s ambient/AI catalogue.  Depending your perspective, Amber is quite possibly the most beautiful Autechre …

*2024 stock* "Draft 7.30 is the seventh album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 April 2003 by Warp Records. Around the time of the album's release, Sean Booth stated in an interview that "[rhythm] doesn't seem to limit us in the way it did when we first started"." - Wikipedia

*2024 stock* "With Confield, Sean Booth and Rob Brown largely abandoned the warm ambient sounds of their earlier works such as Amber and Tri Repetae in favour of more chaotic and abstract sound palettes and methods of composition that they had been pursuing with LP5, EP7, and Peel Session 2. Confield saw the experimental use of computer programs, specifically Max/MSP, to form the basis of songs instead of stand-alone synthesizers. According to Booth, "Most of Confield came out of experiments wit…
