With live shows often described as transcendental journeys, the Manchester duo Autechre returns to Tokyo for one night only. Their early work is reminiscent of the UK’s rave culture of the ’90s. If we're talking genre tags, it’s techno, experimental, glitch, ambient, Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) – but whatever you want to call it, the effects are mind-bendingly hypnotic. Think big swirling synths, amorphous sequences and erratic beats. Over the years, the duo has released fifteen studio albums, with Amber (1994), Tri Repetae (1995) and Confield (2001) frequently noted as their most impactful works.
You can expect real heads in attendance, but even if you’ve never encountered Autechre, their show is sure to be one you will thank yourself for attending.
