Warp Records is 20

Mar 11, 2009

Warp Records are twenty years old this year, which explains the moniker Warp20, which has been given to a whole host of celebratory events. Though there will be a lot more to be announced apparently, the following stuff has been confirmed:

May 8th-9th: Paris - Cite de la Musique, music, film and art installation events featuring Aphex Twin & Hecker, !!! , Pivot, Andrew Weatherall, DJ Mujava
Jul: New York - music, film and art installation events
Aug: Sheffield - homecoming party
Sep: London - music, film and art installation events
Nov: Tokyo - music, film and art installation events

That's a healthy dollop of music, film and art installation events we're sure you'll agree. Also confirmed is the autumn release of "the definitive Warp album." You lot can get involved with this, as it will be comprised of tracks voted for here plus the choices of the label's co-founder Steve Beckett. In a true stroke of genius, voters are also encouraged to leave their reasoning for their choices, with the best ones making it on to the album's artwork.

See below for a selection of what we'll be voting for:

And please don't under any circumstances vote for the truly onerous Anti-Pop Consortium..
