Since its inception in 1989, Warp Records has become one of England’s most influential and respected modern record labels.
In this lecture at the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy, Warp founder Steve Beckett recalled the early days and inspirations of the label, how it has remained independent despite changing times and how he came to find two of his biggest recent artists in the folds of the Academy.

Founded in Sheffield by Steve Beckett and the late Rob Mitchell, Warp tapped into the raw power of acid house and rave to fashion a distinctive visual and sonic aesthetic that attracted local, national and international talent and interest.
With the release of the Artificial Intelligence compilation and album series in 1992 Warp began its second phase, fashioning new understandings for dance music and bringing forth some its best-known artists including Aphex Twin, Autechre and the Black Dog. In 2000, the label moved to London and began its third phase, moving into films and expanding its roster to encompass such seemingly wide-ranging, yet related, artists as Prefuse 73, Broadcast and Clark.

Why does this not have more views? Warp is a super important label.
Yeah kinda surprised as well
Essentially I'd say it;s a marketing issue on Red Bull's part.
My favorite label. Boards. Aphex. This is it right here.
Cause Warp is old and Redbull is corny.
it's also a little 'underground'
Warp Records, a legendary label that had some of the most innovative talents. I'll never forget.
I needed to hear the “the equipment can get in the way” bit.
Yeah that leapt out at me immediately too - what a great interview I completely missed this at the time.
Steve Beckett is a legend. Warp is everything good in UK culture. X
The 5 hour AMA with Sean Booth brought me here - fantastic insigts from Steve. Still have my copies of Tricky Disco and 808 State LFO vinyl from 1990 :D
i appreciate the interviewer for his restraint in letting the guy talk
Broadcast, stereolab, aphex twin, boards of canada. Wow…. What a label… some of my favourite artist on one.
There should be at least 1 hour dedicated to BoC
This interview makes me happy.
Thank you for ALL the great music I found back at the turn of the century. I still follow and really enjoy a lot of the new project's.
Warp was a touchstone for my musical education in the 90s went to a few parties back in the day in Sheffield!
From a 2020 perspective, it looks like most things he predicted in 2007 came true.
Absolutely agree
This is by far the best red bull interview/lecture
rp boo one
I’m remember when I first heard Track with no Name. Was totally blown away by it. It was on a tape a driver who worked for my Dad had. I was working with him for the day. We went to a record shop towards the end of the day. I managed to buy a copy. Was so stoked. The other bloke bought Welcome by Gino Latino. That was also on the tape and he loved that track. I went home and just played the 12” over and over all evening. Fucking tune 👍
Agreed sick tune - got that one on vinyl.
Why can we not listen to the songs on these podcasts when you are literally talking to the founder of the label the music is on???
warp ©policy is going full throttle on youtube! So many channels disappeared because of this.
When warp started I bought everything. But now it's just shite the man's vision as gone maybe he should get back to the e. Iike he did at the start now its just beer music what a shame.
copyright law
@@gordon7462 wdym by that, warp has been continuously doing great decisions, easily one of the best labels today
@@freindmaker4473 once the Outer Rhythm association broke down the music turned to shit. The first 10 or so releases are quality groundbreaking stuff. That’s it
Someone has GOT to upload the unknown BoC track they played here.
???
i was there that day…can confirm the track was Magic Window
He sounds a lot like Brian Cox lol
The most wonderful label on the earth.
brilliant lecture. class act
Great music, awesome design from TDR, a perfect marriage.
what BOC song did he play???😢
Great Man and a really important music label
Great guy, warp records is a very important cultural music/ film company long may it continue
My type of guy......... amazing interview, thank you.
Nice, it’s good to know he was thinking like this back then.
Jimi Tenor and Broadcast were two of the Warp's best ever signings... imagine if they'd worked together!
Broadcast 😍🙏🏼
Don’t forget Luke Vibert & Squarepusher
LFO is the best signing. Mark Bell was a genius
Probably the most forgettable😂
Very interesting stuff. Still compelling in 2021
😂 I can not stop to admire how host is chilledout.. Like around 45:00 he catched boards of Canada 😂 he is talking with absolute legend and very hamble guy
This is insane. I’m sure this wouldn’t happen in rock.
Musical geniuses Mark Pritchard & Hud Mo just casually sitting in the audience. Other big artists were mentioned like they might also be in the room. But Im too lazy to find that part again.
I mean you could even just fanboy over the idea that half of the 2 who did “76:14” in 1994 is right there (Mark P. in Global Communication) as just one tiny example.
This blows my mind.
where is he in the video?
bh617 - He’s pointed out at 45:15. I’m too lazy to find a shot of him in the crowd Lolol. He must be there somewhere. It’s so cool though that electro peeps are just chilling in the audience.
let alone richard
1:25:54 He asks Mark Pritchard where the new Reload album he had a deal for (in 2003?) is. I've always wondered if we'd see another Reload release. Mark has produced a whole bunch of other stuff for Warp since, but still no Reload.
Swear everyones baked on this
Fantastic chat, what a guy.
Who wins the battle of the pronounciation of "Lidell"??
"Just pay people" what a legend
"Mark Bell is still making music".... R.I.P.
i know I had the same reaction:(
Love the dumpster dorm aesthetic. Nice one, Red Swill.
You see the purple tee detail? :)
Great interview. Shame we can't hear the tunes though!!!
The Black Dog
Best ever electronic music group.
Nightmares on Wax sampling Vicious Pink!
stil lhave loads of warp releases DIY strictly 4 groovers being probably the first one I bought back in the day
Can anyone list me tracks played in this interview pls?
Description
Would love a follow up
26:45 Samiyam. Hudson Mohawke is there too. "Eff This"
What a great insight
Please can you upload the Mark Pritchard interview?
why is the music edited out? the guy who holds the copy write is playing it?!
Great interview
This is soooooo good
so many different levels
Of music itself or the industry stuff?
He didn't foresee streaming. I wonder what he would say now? Even with sync deals being worth pennies these days.
28:28 OH shit. Is this why it's called windowlicker?
damn this only a few years before warp records drop cosmogramma
Much respect idd.
1,000th like! Also great interview, amazing inspiration for my future.
Wow warp . Blast from the past. Fly , LFO, bleep and clunk 😅😊😊😊😊
Greetings from Guatemala, super fan of Warp records, keep it up! 🙏🏻❤️
This Women should be SIGNED Absolutely AMAZING!!! Beyond talented she's gifted and is in the UK
Can't believe you can't listen to the music :(
Playing the music can lead to the video being deleted. You can thank the music industry for that.
And by the way, there is a list in the description with links to all the tracks...
@@vinylarchaeologist except for boards of canada,its part of the game?
No support to red bull
Full love to WARP and REPHLEX
what did he play @10:20 ?
This one: ruclips.net/video/BLV22eGiqCc/видео.htmlsi=IlY2xzKf0Gl2449E
why don't you play the tracks guys 🤔
Anyone have a tracklist?
Description
Nice guy, very English in a no BS way. You could apply what he's saying to pretty much any industry.
The audience is horrified when he's talking about the illegal warehouse parties and being off your face on ecstasy back in the day. Kids from the 00's onward are so tame and well behaved compared to back then.
This interview is from 2007.
Keep telling yourself that granddad.
I have stopped buying any warp vinyl releases as our streams have been taken down off youtube due to Warp's policy on this.
What do you mean?
I like when people upload a record you don’t get to hear any other way, but I also get warps point of view.
I guarantee that theres artists on Warp for whom two or three purchases could make the difference between paying their bills or not
@afk_hesh @joshuroland6446 I've already paid for the tunes on vinyl. All of our sets are vinyl, and we do not monetize off our live streams this is our channel www.youtube.com/@DistantPlanetTV/videos Actually reading my post from 3 years ago I probably would buy new vinyl stuff on Warp. but I avoid playing any Warp tunes in a set which is being recorded for RUclips which is a shame as there are so many amazing tunes from 1990/91 If we could make a contribution to the artist to avoid the sets being taken down I would happily do so.
Quiet-ass audio
He looks like an unglitched version of Michael J. Fox
Pre tik tok interview
Steve’s voice lacks musicality
doesn't youtube suck for not actually promoting interesting things but the same old content and old faces. really youtube, you are a disgrace. hate this platform, never can find anything worthwhile. youtube isn't really doing it's job of distributing content.
Don't you have to search first before its suggestions begin to get spicy?
Like, maybe start a new account without any of your old searches, and start afresh.
Warp are shite. They've been shite for 15 years.
boring
@@Jamesp1972 It's a common phrase I hear a lot. Sure they've held onto the big electronic players, but they sure sign up some total shite these days. Their demographic of listeners is divided right down the middle.
So since this interview then.
can’t deny they are an iconic label
@@SoulFlaskwhat is the divide? Who's on either side?
Boring. Welfare Podcast.
