On September 2014 Warp travels to Poland to celebrate its 25^th anniversary in the heart of Krakow, teaming with avant-garde Sacrum Profanum collective and their annual series of events. To begin a week of indelible music, the innovative stalwart Squarepusher will unveil an all-new live show featuring one of Europe’s most distinguished chamber ensembles the Sinfonietta Cracovia. Days later the London Sinfonietta will perform ‘Warp Works and 20^th Century Masters’, their acclaimed series of interpretations of works by Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Gyorgy Ligeti, Steve Reich and others.

Warp spent 2009 reflecting on its first twenty years of existence by crafting an essential retrospective box-set in the form of an art object and embarking on a series of international live shows in Sheffield, London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Berlin featuring stunning performances from Broadcast, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Chris Cunningham and many more. A milestone to say the least, and now with a 25^thanniversary to celebrate it seems only right to look to the future and use the occasion as an opportunity to draw on twenty five years of groundbreaking art and music and to unite emerging mavericks and boundary-stretching masters in a celebration of what the next quarter century holds for Warp.

So on Saturday, September 20^th there will be a party.

Darkstar come bearing futuristic psychedlia and melodically rich beat constructions for their deep and arresting live show. Future classics abound.

patten is along to mangle minds with his narcotic collision of styles and daredevil approach to de-tuned warehouse jams and split-fractal textures.
