Autechre

Autechre are an English electronic music group consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale. 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. Booth and Brown have explained that the name Autechre can be pronounced in any way anyone sees fit. They pronounce it "Awe-TEK-er." They are also often referred to by the moniker "Ae." It has been claimed by several, but not confirmed, that the name Autechre comes from Audio architecture or Aural technology research.
