Warp is a British electronic label founded by Steve Beckett, Rob Mitchell (RIP 2001), and Robert Gordon. It is one of the world's most respected and influential electronic/experimental dance labels. Originally based in Sheffield, UK, Warp later moved to London. They are known for their pioneering digital music sales site Bleep.com, which offered high-quality MP3s for sale along with exclusive tracks and rarities. Warp has several related labels including Warp Records Limited, Warp Music Publishing, Lex Records, Arcola, LuckyMe, and Night Slugs. The label's history is documented in the book "Warp" by Rob Young.

In terms of releases, there are some gaps and unreleased albums/singles within the cat#s. For example, WARP 13/WARP 99/WARP 113 have no releases; WARP 93 is an unreleased album by Priest; WARP 109 is an unreleased album by Squarepusher; WARP 118 is an unreleased album by Chris Morris. There are also some interesting facts about certain singles such as WAP 13 being supposedly unreleased but some copies of WARP LP 1 were pressed with this cat#. Additionally, WAP 85 was intended for Jimi Tenor's "[m=43418]" but ended up being released by Rough Trade Germany without a Warp cat#. 

It's worth noting that many Warp releases were licensed to

Lafawndah's first release on Warp takes influences from wide-ranging genres such as zouk, kizoma, salsa, cumbia, dubstep and grime, creating an exciting sampler of what's to come next from this defiant and inspired artist. Lafawndah is somewhat of a global citizen, having lived in Paris, Tehran, New York and Mexico City and coming from an Egyptian / Iranian / English heritage. Listening to her music, a fusion of regional subgenres from different corners of the world, she has evidently a certain porosity when it comes to digesting sound, taking snippets of different influences as souvenirs to use in her own work. The songs on 'Tan' are at the same time relaxed and playful, bold and confrontational. The combination between strong narrative, clarity of expression and seamless transmutation is reminiscent of early Bjork, Missy Elliott and Grace Jones. Co-produced by L-Vis 1990 and ADR. Executively produced by Lafawndah. For fans of Kelela, Leila, Muslimgauze, Mira Calix.
