FACT Mix 122: Autechre


Surpassing their consistently high standards, FACT magazine has scored a major coup - an elusive Autechre mix.

Joining the Warp Records roster in 1992, Rob Brown and Sean Booth's debut LP "Incunabula" drew inspiration from techno, breaks and hip hop, channelling their influences into a fresh sound that drew praise from both critics and fans alike. Six more efforts followed, the most recent being 2008's "Quaristice", which eschewed their usual album structures by favouring short, concise tracks. Their eagerly-awaited follow up, "Oversteps", is set to drop on March 22.

As to be expected, this 80 minute long mix is as essential as essential gets. No tracklisting is available, with the duo simply stating that "it's just some tunes they like". Whilst entrenched in left-field hip hop, the mix features flares of techno, ambient electronica, frenetic breaks and even a dash of black metal.
