Autechre

Autechre is an English electronic music group consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale (near Manchester, England). The group are one of the most prominent acts signed with Warp Records, a label known for its pioneering electronic music artists. Some journalists and fans consider Autechre to be a paragon of IDM, though Brown and Booth themselves do not consider their sound to belong to any genre.

The two members formed the group in 1987 when they both lived in Rochdale. They began their career making and trading mixtapes between each other, but gradually moved on to their own compositions while collecting a handful of cheap equipment; most notably a Casio SK-1 Sampler. Indeed, by the time their albums on Warp appeared, they were employing a variety of electronic instruments to create their evolving style.

Booth and Brown have explained that the name Autechre can be pronounced in any way anyone sees fit. They pronounce it "aw-tek-er" (IPA) /ɔ ˈt...
