In the tradition of older On-U Sound and Ninja Tune tributes, this is an overdue mix comprised exclusively of Warp music, another label that has had a huge impact on this young DJ. Covering mostly the first half of the label's history, this mix starts with some of the foundational techno/house tunes before we dive into some of my favourites from that early era, commonly known as the 90s. Since we only made it to the noughties, and I omitted a few crucial tunes and artists, (such as Black Dog and Mira Calix!), there will be a sequel anytime soon.
This almost 3 hour Warpathon was recorded at Banja in March 2025 without much mixfoolery, but still enough to call it a mix. Tracklist under reconstruction. Mad respect for those pressing plants of old, that made the sturdiest pieces of vinyl imaginable. I have played these records up and down for 20+ years, but there wasn't a single skip when I played them again that night. Solid job! Enjoy!
