“Autechre are one of the holiest institutions in electronic music. As with Aphex Twin, we will never know if their natural habitat is a museum, a laboratory, or a stage. Art, science and celebration.”

An extremely rare opportunity to see experimental duo Autechre, one of electronic music’s most preeminent acts, perform live in Greece at one of the capital’s most iconic venues, Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The duo has carved the history of electronic music for the past three decades and have recently revealed their latest album “Sign”. They are one of the most intriguing and absorbing electronic acts around at the moment and 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.
