Warp Records, “the home of visionary post-genre music”, has harboured artists who flout the rules of electronic music since '89. With artists who stand for adventure and groundbreaking vision, it remains one of the world's most creative and independent record labels.

We are very excited to welcome these 4 incredible Warp artists to BRDCST.

4 April: Autechre

For over 35 years, AE has been inimitable with their bouncy electronica, which is complex, abstract, dark, cubist, and funky all at the same time. His latest two-parter, SIGN and PLUS (2020) has been described by Stereogum as “some of the most human music they’ve ever made”. Their last visit to Belgium was back in 2016. De Standaard wrote then: “Live, Autechre remains pure avant-garde: challenging, breathtaking and inspiring.” The Guardian said of their latest UK tour: “Autechre’s live environment is liable to switch at any moment from dreamscape to nightmare. It’s futuristic music made of sonic ruins – fragments unearthed from the darkness. - ****”

7 April: Clarissa Connelly

Scottish-Danish composer, producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Connelly has already pocketed a Nordic Music Prize and was signed by Warp, just like BRDCST acts Autechre, Oneohtrix Point Never and Slauson Malone 1. Influenced by Celtic mythology, Connelly navigates between the musical realms of both Kate Bush and Vashti Bunyan.

7 April: Slauson Malone 1

Already a Warp icon: Jasper Marsalis – son of the famous jazz trumpet player Wynton Marsalis – also known as SLAUSON MALONE 1. Marsalis provided beats for Solange and Earl Sweatshirt, amongst others, and his Warp debut Excelsior is a “masterpiece of American surrealism. As if Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’ was re-imagined as Brain Wilson’s ‘Smile’” according to Line Of Best Fit. His shows can better be described as performances. Oor (about his visit to Le Guess Who?): “Malone 1 begint zijn set al improviserend op akoestische gitaar. Dan springt hij het publiek in, krijst in de microfoon, klimt weer het podium op, deconstrueert zijn liedjes tot verwarrende collages, citeert Afrika Bambaataa en covert producersgenie Joe Meek’s ‘I Hear A New World’.” 

8 April: Oneohtrix Point Never 

The Brooklyn-based musician/composer Daniel Lopatin has been on an impressive journey since his debut in ’07. With releases on Editions Mego and later Warp as his base, Oneohtrix Point Never – OPN to friends – has worked his way up to the pinnacle of electronica artists. He has worked with the likes of James Blake, Iggy Pop, and Rosalía, and accompanied ANOHNI (also in AB) and The Weeknd (during the Super Bowl halftime show) live. He has produced for FKA Twigs, David Byrne, and Moses Sumney. His installations and works could be seen in such prestigious locations as The Park Avenue Armory and MoMA PS1 in New York, as well as in Tate Britain in London. He’s recorded soundtracks for Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring and others. 

As the final act, OPN brings BRDCST to a close. This will be an aftershow with a selection of earlier work: from Returnal to Replica, R Plus 7 to Age Of – as well as his latest album Again which he made with the aid of AI. “‘Again’ features some of his most touching music”, says The Guardian. At BRDCST, Lopatin will be assisted by his long-time collaborator Nate Boyce “who developed a new real-time animation system that updates the graphical themes dating back to their earliest collaborations”. A review from Australia after OPN’s show in Sydney in ‘23: “This show was a pure sensory hallucination.”
