The collection follows the release of an unheard remix from Autechre of Russell Haswell’s 'Heavy Handed Sunset’. The remix reworked another remix from Autechre released in 2016, 'Heavy Handed Sunset (Autechre Conformity Version)’.
Last year, Autechre released a surprise 330+ minute mix to celebrate the re-release of their 1992 compilation record released via Warp, ‘Artificial Intelligence’.
Celebrating 30 years since its initial release, the duo put together a 5.5-hour mix featuring almost 100 different artists who individually inspired the duo in the early ‘90s.
