We here at The Windish Agency would like to extend massive congratulations to our good friends at Warp Records as they ring in their twentieth year of existence. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure and great honor for us to represent a number of Warp artists, and to work closely with the label itself.
From the very beginning, Warp has redefined the way we think about music, largely because they have always pursued their work with a sense of vision. From their early triumphs with acts like Nightmares on Wax, LFO, and Tricky Disco, to introducing the world to the boundary-pushing work of electronic pioneers such as Aphex Twin, Black Dog, and Autechre, the label established itself as one of the world's premier purveyors of musical innovation. With the more recent success of acts as diverse as Battles, Grizzly Bear, Gang Gang Dance, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Jamie Lidell, Maximo Park, Broadcast, and Born Ruffians, Warp continues to tirelessly push music and the culture surrounding it into the future, and in doing so, they have ensured that their mark upon that future cannot be overstated.
Celebrating their anniversary in grand fashion, Warp has issued a box set drawn from material spanning different eras of the label's history, and organized multimedia events the world over, from London and Sheffield to Paris, Berlin, New York, and Tokyo.
