Clark

We are excited to announce the new long player from Clark. Entitled, Body Riddle, the album is the sound of a man with a complete mastery of his musical imagination and equipment finding his own voice.

To be released on 2nd October, you can hear a preview of a track from the album on www.warprecords.com now. A different version of 'Ted' appears on the Renaissance 12" available now in Warpmart.

Clark will also be playing live in London next Tuesday night, supporting Tortoise as part of ATP's Don't Look Back series. You can get tickets here.

Squarepusher

We couldn’t resist telling you all about this already. Hope you don’t mind!

Hello Everything, the new album by Squarepusher, is scheduled for release on 16th October. We know it seems ages to wait, but you guys want early heads-ups right?

‘The Modern Bass Guitar’ has been live on the Warp site for the last week or so. Read Tom’s priceless description of the track’s inspiration
here.

We could talk for hours about the music, but we won’t right now. Instead, keep it locked for more news and tracks leading up to release.

London Sinfonietta

Born at the Royal Festival Hall on 10 March 2003, the London Sinfonietta / Warp concerts grew out of a shared desire to explore the connection between the electronic experimenters on the Warp label and the avant-garde 20th Century pioneers.

Since that date, thousands of people around the world have experienced one or more of these incredible shows.
