Autechre

What can be said about Autechre that hasn't already been stated countless times? The legendary British duo helped change the course of experimental electronic music in the 1990s, bending the dancefloor-friendly pulses of electro, hardcore and hip-hop into progressively abstract forms. And they've never stopped challenging themselves; early adopters of algorithmic compositional techniques and software like Max/MSP, Sean Booth and Rob Brown still confound listeners with each and every release. Their shows, routinely conducted in complete darkness, are an extension of this constant process of re-evaluation, decomposing their spiraling vortex of sounds into palpitating rhythms and uncanny outbursts of cracked harmony. Expect the unexpected, basically.
