Background

Warp Records is a British independent label founded at Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1989. During its early days the label specialized in electronic genres such as bleep techno (at the beginning of their career) and IDM (the genre the label is most associated with). Key electronic artists such as Aphex Twin, Autechre and Boards of Canada released their albums on Warp. Since the 2000s, the company also began signing contracts with non-electronic artists such as Grizzly Bear, Battles and Danny Brown.
