Clark

Incoming





Clark's new album Turning Dragon is out now to buy as CD, LP & digital formats. For North America: the CD & vinyl versions are delayed until 4th March due to a distributor change. The digital version is available now or Warpmart can ship worldwide.

Turning Dragon CD/LP at Warpmart
Turning Dragon MP3/Flac at Bleep

"Certainly his most immediate record... Turning Dragon at times craves the intricate detailing of Body Riddle but the sheer energy of the music largely compensates and contributes to make this Clark's most entertaining release." Milkfactory: 4.4/5 - read review
Drowned In Sound: 8/10 - read review
Resident Advisor: 4/5 - read review

Catch Clark's solo live set tearing through clubs in Europe, all dates in Warp Live below. Tickets for the London date on 15th Feb are now for sale via Warpmart.

Harmonic 313

 


EP 1, a new release by Harmonic 313 (aka Mark Pritchard) is out now - Warpmart / Bleep

The track names on the release are simply written as Problem 1-6, but each track also has a proper name - you have to solve it using a colour key.

Play Harmonic 313 Online Game for free MP3

Play the game above to confirm the proper names interactively by matching the colours - there's a brand new, free Harmonic 313 MP3 to download once complete!

Game designed in a Remote Location, based on Laurie Peters' artwork.

Jamie Lidell





Jamie Lidell will release his new album Jim on 28th April 2008 (29th April in N. America).

We're hyped, and we hope you are too. For now there's the tracklisting and a video of Jamie & co. rehearsing the live version of a new song.

This is going to be a big year for Jamie, full news about live dates and more coming soon.

You got the announcement the other day - so just to recap:

You can now download the Quaristice MP3's from Bleep, which contain track-by-track artwork by The Designers Republic. Warpmart sold out of their ltd. edition allocation within 12 hours and unprecedented demand sent the Bleep servers temporarily into overdrive.

The regular version is still on presale via Warpmart and will be shipped for March 3rd, when the CDs and LPs hit stores.

By now the Ae Radio Show should be in your diary - streaming live from Autechre.ws on Sat 23rd February at 8pm GMT. This takes place a week before the worldwide tour commences, complete with new Ae live show - dates (and some ticket links) in Warp Live below.
