This is wonderful. 598 MB. Perfect to fit onto one of my old CDs as an mp3
file and play in my car. Been craving something like this for a while.
Starts great and keeps going on. Nice.

"Very few musical acts achieve the levels of unanimous acclaim of Autechre.
The English duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth are not an act you simply like;
they are an act you love, fawn over and dream about. They've got themselves
here over the course of the last 28 years, and have done so by amassing a
discography that's about as perfect, influential and accomplished as could
ever be possible. A key Warp label act from day one, they have released tens
of albums, well over a ten EPs and have featured on a dizzying amount of
essential compilations, mixes and remixes in that time. Without their
contribution to the IDM canon, its fair to say the modern musical landscape
would look very different.
Rhythmic but experimental, absorbing yet abstract, cerebral and psychedelic,
their ever evolving output is up there with the likes of fellow luminaries
Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin as some of the most important in all of
electronic music. As well as being fine craftsmen in the studio, Autechre
are also revered live performers who really manage to conjure up captivating
and otherworldly soundtracks that marry heavy bass with ethereal melody. The
pair themselves do not care for genre, but suffice it to say that they have
mastered everything from hardcore to ambient to glitch and plenty of
indescribables in between.
When the pair recently laid down an impressive set at Dekmantel Festival, we
asked if they might be up for a doing an early inspiration mix, whereby they
put together a collection of the sort of electro and hip hop tracks that
turned them on as youths. At first they hesitated, pointing out that "we
don't do strictly retro stuff, it's too corny." But alas, a few days later,
a huge file landed in our inbox. That file is a 4 hour and 18 minute mix
that basically encapsulates not just Autechre's own influences, but also
acts as a fine anthology of the greatest electro sounds of all time. Every
sub genre imaginable gets touched upon along the way, with nods to
forefathers like Kraftwerk, killer cuts from Man Parrish, classics from
Newcleus and retro gold from the likes of The Beat Club. It is a thrilling
ride and a truly rare treat that reminds us just why we love Autechre, as
well as shining a light on a vast genre that often pays second fiddle to
house and techno."

The Warp duo delve into their collection of vintage electro.
Amsterdam label and party Dekmantel have quietly been building one of the
strongest podcasts over the past year, but they've surpassed themselves with
the latest, a huge mix from Autechre.
The podcast is a collection of early influences, primarily vintage 80s
electro, and features everything from Man Parrish and The Beat Club to
Newcleus and Kraftwerk.
Listen to it below - at four hours, it should help pass some of the time
until they release their next album.
