An extremely rare opportunity to see experimental duo Autechre, one of electronic
music’s most preeminent acts, perform live in Athens at Universe. The duo has
carved the history of electronic music for the past three decades and have they are
one of the most intriguing and absorbing electronic acts around at the moment.
Their live experience is not to be missed!
Autechre are an English electronic music group consisting of Rob Brown and Sean
Booth, both natives of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1987, the duo are
one of the most prominent acts signed to Warp Records. Alongside Aphex Twin, μ-
Ziq, Black Dog & LFO, Autechre came to define the UK techno movement in the 90s,
creating a legacy that would influence the electronic genre in it’s entirety. Their
music has exhibited a gradual shift in aesthetic throughout their career, from their
earlier work with clear roots in techno, electro and hip hop to later albums that are
often considered more experimental in nature, featuring complex patterns of rhythm
and subdued melodies.
The Autechre live experience is a classically pitch-dark mind-warping audio affair,
which has undoubtedly reached an iconic status, as the quintessential of electronic
music performances.
