Warp

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

32 page photo book printed full color on 200gsm Fedrigoni Milk uncoated paper, with contrast pages on Sappi Magno silk coated paper, bound in hard cover blue canvas with debossed gold foil block on front and back cover. Fedrigoni gold end papers and inner sleeve, housing 10” vinyl record. Hand numbered edition of 500. Warp wunderkind Lorenzo Senni releases the original soundtrack for short film The Challenge. The release exposes Lorenzo Senni as a musical chameleon - blending the sound into the body of the film, making the music a collaborative character rather than an accompaniment. The producer may be best known for his trance explorations, but this really does expose him as an artist who can wring the emotion from his music. The soundtrack, a collaboration with Francesco Fantini, was recorded with a full orchestra and is both uplifting and joyous with a hint of melancholia. The release comes as a very limited edition deluxe 32 page photo book with 10” vinyl designed by Davide Mosconi. Listen to an excerpt. The Challenge, directed by Yuri Ancarani, is a anthropological documentary observing the curious hobbies of the rich in the desert. Ranging from bidding for birds to Sunday-driving with exotic cats in SUVs around the desert, it’s a playful remark on a rarely seen subject.
