Legendary duo Matt Black and Jonathan More aka Coldcut deliver a boundless career spanning Bleep mix. Since the late 1980s, their sound has morphed from cut-and-paste approaches into some of the foundations of every alternative and electronic hip-hop LP made well into the millennium. The duo’s exclusive Bleep mix is testimony to how deep their impact has been over the years, as each selection indelibly refracts from their own innovations. Actress and Floating Points are in there, as well as some ace remixes of Marie Davidson and Cinematic Orchestra, and of course, a smattering of Coldcut’s own collaborations with Bug Brand Modular and Synth Farm.

"This mix is all about that 160bpm+ energy that first inspired me to make music. Around 1996 — to me at least, with the advantages of teenage naïvety — it seemed like electronic music had burst into a whole new tempo range, where there were no rules and anything was possible - as long as it BELTS (which is still true). If you go beyond 200 BPM, you reach that zone where 16th notes start to dissolve into 32nds and your brain latches onto a whole new outer layer of rhythm, like a fractal or temporal shepard tone. There is still much to be discovered!" - @datashat

With a flurry of rarities released from the Broadcast vaults comes a celebratory kaleidoscopic rush through their many adventures in sound, presented as an exclusive Bleep mix from multi-hyphenate DJ The Gaslamp Killer. @gaslampkiller serves selections from Mother Is The Milky Way, Microtronics, and the Maida Vale Sessions, all spliced together by interview excerpts that give insights into the band’s eclectic processes. At the centre is the highlight ‘Pendulum’, whose heightened live session clarity is met with a beastly insatiability. This mix is a plunging entrance into the band’s location of imagination; if you still don’t know what all the Broadcast hype is about, now is the time to dive in.

One of electronic music's true daddies steps up.

Heavily influenced by Aphex Twin, who went on to become his labelmate at Warp, Tom 'Squarepusher' Jenkinson had an experimental approach to bass guitar - both at school, and then later in teenage metal bands - which he applied to electronic music, releasing his debut record, Stereotype (under the name Stereotype) in 1994. After a series of records on Spymania, Jenkinson landed on Warp's roster in 1995, and became part of the label's stable of 1990s titans with Aphex, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid et al.

The 20 years since have seen Squarepusher tear up the templates of jazz, drum'n'bass, psychedelia, techno and more across over 15 albums, while also developing one of the most talked-about live shows on the electronic circuit. Last year, the Squarepusher project reached a logical climax of sorts when Jenkinson released an EP, Music for Robots, that was written by him but performed by a trio of Z-Machine robots (including a 77-fingered guitarist and a 22-armed drummer). That hasn't, of course, stopped him: this month he released his latest album, Damogen Furies. 

For Squarepusher's FACT mix, he looks way back, at the rave music from the turn of the 1990s that not only inspired him, but many of his contemporaries. This is Squarepusher presents Shut Up And Dance, 1990-1992, and it's rude as fuck.

FACT Mix 493 - Squarepusher (Apr '15)

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.

Solid Steel (26th May) In Hour 1 we welcome Djrum to Solid Steel, a producer who has been turning heads since 2010 with his early productions on Smokin' Sessions, On The Edge and his Mountains EP on 2nd Drop Records. Some of his best mixes have been a soundtrack to an imaginary movie and it's no exception here, with music from Bjork, Randomer, Lurka, Gila, Colin Stetson, Kowton, Trus'me and Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto included to accompany a film in your mind. He told us;
"This mix has been conceived as a soundtrack to an imaginary movie. It differs from the kind of mix that i would do in a club, as the focus is more on creating an atmosphere or mood than it is about rhythmic drive."

For the 50th entry in our mix series, we are super hyped to present this hour-long electronic adventure from @Plaid. Since the early 90's, Plaid has consistently released a stream of mind-expanding LPs for @warp-records, yet for their Bleep mix they offer us a very rare opportunity to experience the sounds that inspire, influence and rotate inside their studio station. From the up to the minute breakbeat techno of Skee Mask, to the euphoric glow of Jon Hopkins and into the outer-reaching wormholes of @richarddevine's most outer-reaching submissions, Plaid cross all genres with a strong knowledgeable style, one that has arguably made them such a historically important artist within both the UK and worldwide electronica scenes.
