DEAF presents a Warp night at Button Factory

The flagship event at this years DEAF is a Warp Records party curated by u:mack productions, and the line up looks pretty sweet! The cream of the label's newest artists are joined by one of the finest acts of the label's 20 year history...

There will be a special live performance by Plaid, consisting of classic tracks specially selected by the band from their entire back catalogue of 11 albums and 6 EPs, released over the 20 years the boys have been making music together.

Chris Clark will also take to the decks, and will be promoting latest album, "Totems Flare". The new record (his fifth to date) combines the classic Warp sound with a groove worthy of Paris's Ed Banger records or New York's DFA.

Tim Exile has had to cancel his slot due to scheduling problems on his tour, but he's been replaced with the dancefloor destroying bass machine Rustie, who has just signed with Warp records, with his first release on the label due early next year.

One of Warp's freshest signings, with electronically modified guitar melodies and droning synthesizer sounds, Bibio's music pays tribute to England's fine folk tradition and San Francisco's late sixties psychedelia. A new EP "Maybe They Appear in Graveyards" follows his Warp debut, "Ambivalence Avenue".
