If you're new to the Warp catalogue and you like what you hear, you've got no end of musical discovery ahead of you. So, consider this as a mere beginners' guide to some of the label's earliest victories and some of the records that prove they're still doing amazing things after all these years. Given Warp have been behind the release of hundreds of albums in the almost 30 years they've been in existence, it's tough to pick out a few that stand out as the absolute highlights of the work they have issued. The best labels are true arbiters, willing to support the artists that push boundaries and make us think and feel different about music. Some record labels are so much more than mere middle-men between the artist and their audience. Chapter 1 5 Amazing Warp Records Releases Join Gemma Pike for the Warp Records J Files, Thursday 14 June from 8pm on Double J. We're excited to delve in and tell the stories of some of its most prominent and exciting artists. The Warp Records roster is one of the most vast, eclectic and generally impressive of any label in modern music. These artists are outsiders, and they're the best at what they do. The one unifying trait that Warp artists possess is an unwillingness to conform to the expectations of any given genre, be it electro, indie rock, R&B or anything else. They've brought us game-changing records from artists as diverse as Aphex Twin, Grizzly Bear, Squarepusher, Broadcast, PVT and Kelela, to name a small handful.

For almost 30 years, Warp Records has been a champion of musical mavericks.
