Warp20 - pick your favorites!

In honor of its 20th (!!) anniversary as a label, Warp Records is asking for fans to submit their 50 favorite tracks. The top 10 (from different artists) will be released as a compilation in August 2009. Vote here!


Each user is allowed to vote up to 50 times, though never more than once for the same track. If you're interested in who I voted for (I've already used up my 50 votes), my page is here.


For Warp's 10-year anniversary in 1999, we were treated to a series of three compilations, the 10+ series, including 10+1: Influences (pictured above), focusing on house and techno classics that were sold in the Warp shop before it became a label, 10+2: Classics, featuring some of the early singles that established the bleep-n-bass sound Warp was known for, and 10+3: Remixes, in which outside artists were invited to have their way with the Warp catalogue.

It'll be interesting to see what ends up on this 20th anniversary disc. In the mean time, here are some classic tracks that I'd love to see included:


Soundtrack Of Space - B12


Second Peng - Autechre


Freeze - LFO


Roygbiv - Boards Of Canada
