dj mixing: 20 years of Warp
This year, the seminal independent record label Warp Records celebrates 20 years of releasing cutting-edge electronic music.
In honor of their 20th anniversary I’ve put together a mix highlighting a few favorite tracks.
When creating a mixtape I usually start with a playlist of anywhere from 40-60 songs and shape it down from there. It ’s always painful to make these edits, but this time was particularly difficult because there are so many important songs that have been released over the years I’m sad to not include.
I wound up with a selection of singles I love – and have meant a lot to me over time – rather than a generalized “best of” list, which can tend to be so subjective.
If you’re also a fan of Warp, don’t forget include your favorites in the comments section!
Enjoy!
