For those unaware, the legendary Warp Records is celebrating 25 years of innovating and expanding minds this year, and their celebration has hit the BBC Radio 1 airwaves with some pretty huge appearances. Last night, Benji B had Darkstarr, Squarepusher (who apparently wrote two songs for this occasion), and others touching down at the legendary Maida Vale studios, as well as interviews with Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke. Lucky for us, the entire show is archived on the BBC site, and can be streamed right now–they've cut out the HudMo portion and threw it up on SoundCloud, which features HudMo and Benji talking about the "Chimes" remix, the vocal tracks for his forthcoming album, sampling "Bound 2," and much more. Check that selection out:
Now about these four exclusives: included in this collection of tracks is that remix of Four Tet's “Parallel Jalebi" that we first heard back in October of 2013; that record is also the free download from LuckyMe's 14/15 Advent calendar:
There was a Bodega Bamz collaboration that Hudson Mohawke did, "Final Hour," that HudMo played back in September, as well as an unreleased bits entitled "Sweet Silverskin" and "Brooklyn":
With HudMo's album on the horizon, it'll be fire to see what the album will have on the way. And for those who want MORE from the Warp camp, FACT is reporting that patten, Mount Kimbie, Clark, Nightmares on Wax, Bibio and Plaid are taking over the Essential Mix this weekend for Warp.
