o00o Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I would join forces with raster-noton and denovali records and make collab festivals and remix cooperations. I would also remove all acts signed during the last 5-8 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I would also put a voting system in charge where aphex, boc and autechre can veto on new acts and have the ability to suggest new acts which are determined by equal votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlitze Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Very disappointed by fumi with this thread. Did the old man get so drunk last night he rested his face on the keyboard and this happened? I'd say the next couple of weeks are time for reflection for this ageing hipster and his collection of t-shirts and sneakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Keep it the same but instead of hyping albums for months before release, just release the fkn things.

MadameChaos Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 i'd start by changing that sprawling tumblr style website of theirs. then i'd sort out their UK A&R who seem to be asleep/MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drillkicker Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Get rid of Battles, Grizzly Bear, Prefuse 73, !!!, TNGHT, Hudson Mohawke, Kwes, and a lot of other people. I really like Battles, but they don't fit well on Warp in my opinion. I'd try to move the label into a more ambient direction and try to get Max Loderbauer and some onkyokei artists like Toshimaru Nakamura on it. Anything that sounds good on electrostatic speakers. My top priority would probably be to make some Osamu Sato reissues happen. Wagon Christ did a mix on Equal, so it might be feasible. Oh, and obviously I would do reissues of SAW vol. II and Tri Repetae, which Warp really should not have to think twice about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think WARP is fine - you must remember, not all music suits all tastes, even in the "golden age" of IDM at WARP. I think releases like "Garden of Delete" show WARP has never lost sight of their roots or what makes them special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cult fiction Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Planet Mu A&R runs circles around Warp. First change I'd make is get a new A&R person, somebody with their ears to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 i would recommend them to make sub label for artists like rustie etc and the real deal remains at warp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&R got praise for signing these acts but they do not have anything mystical or obscure going on or pushing the boundaries in any way something that was WARP DNA all the time. It's not hard to find well hyped indie artists. It's hard to find timeless game changers like afx, boc, autechre etc. And there's no excuse as other labels are still finding these while successfully maintaining financial income. Sure who am I to judge but its a bit sad given the potential and network they have right in front of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Also for them to keep a tighter lid on those leaks, although one assumes this already high on their list of priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
