Warp records is an independent english record label, founded in Sheffield in 1989. The first album released was Sweet Excorcist's C.C.E.P. in 1991. In the same year Robert Gordon left Warp acrimoniously. The first production of label, coded WAP1, was that of Forgemasters, a pressing limited to 500 specimens of Track With No Name financed by a subsidy with the companies. This disc directed the original production of the label at the same time in term of music and as for the use of mauve besides small pockets (the label failed to be called Electric Prunes for this reason). In January 2004 the label launched an online music store, Bleep.com , notable to be one of the only labels to completely avoid the use of numerical Gestion of the rights in the tracks in remote loading. In about fifteen years, Warp Records had a great influence on the experimental electronic music, thanks to artists like LFO, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Plaid, Autechre or Boards Of Canada. The label developed, following the example few predecessors like Factroy records , Mute Records or Sarah Records , a recognizable and strong visual identity, accentuated by the care taken to the videos clip of its artists, who contributed to make it.
