Legendary electronic music record label Warp Records has just announced the WXAXRXP Sessions Box Set, which will contain work from ten specially selected sessions recorded for radio from across the history of the label, featuring artists such as Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus and Oneohtrix Point Never. These sessions include Aphex Twin’s 1995 Peel Session, one of his two radio sessions ever, Boards of Canada’s 1998 Peel Session, Flying Lotus’ 2010 Maida Vale session, Oneohtrix Point Never’s 2018 KCRW session, and two sets from the label’s NTS Radio takeover.
This boxset comes off the heels of Warp Records NTS Radio Takeover, which featured 100 hours of original music programming pulled from original mixes, documentaries, live performances, film and sessions from the whole Warp roster. The boxset will be released on November 15th.
In promotion for the boxset, the label released a previously unreleased track “XYZ” from Boards of Canada below. Clocking in at over eight minutes, this track encapsulated the ambient and IDM sounds that pushed the group into the forefront of experimental electronic music during the early 2000s.
Check out our reviews of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Flying Lotus and Oneohtrix Point Never.
