Over the coming months, Warp Records’ catalogue will be featured across the Qobuz app, magazine, download store and marketing channels. Regular playlists will be curated by Qobuz experts, Warp artists and the Warp team, with a dedicated playlist section on the platform.
Qobuz’s magazine will also publish in-depth articles about the label and its artists, including a feature titled The Warp Story.
WARP RECORDS ARTISTS AND CLASSIC ALBUMS
The Qobuz download store will offer reduced prices on selected albums from the Warp catalogue, including Music Has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada and Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin.
Artist videos celebrating the label will also be released progressively, beginning with a selection from Nightmares on Wax on Instagram.
The initiative will highlight artists associated with Warp Records, including Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, LFO, Squarepusher, Oneohtrix Point Never and Mount Kimbie.
QOBUZ AND WARP RECORDS ON THE PARTNERSHIP
The collaboration follows previous Qobuz partnerships with record labels including Blue Note, Deutsche Grammophon and ECM Records.
Marc Zisman, Chief Music Officer at Qobuz, said:
‘Since 1989, Warp has been one of the most respected independent labels in the UK. By supporting some of the most uncompromising artists in electronic music, such as Aphex Twin, LFO, Boards of Canada, Autechre and Squarepusher, it has above all championed strong artistic and creative values that remain fully intact in 2026. These values are shared by Qobuz, both in its editorial choices and in its support for groundbreaking creative work. It makes complete sense for this to culminate in a partnership between the label and our platform!’
Steven Hill, Head of North America at Warp Records, said:
‘Connecting deep-listening audiences with uncompromising, visionary music is at the heart of what we do at Warp, making Qobuz a natural home for our artists’ music. This partnership showcases our shared commitment to supporting independent artists and bringing their work to dedicated music lovers globally.’
HiFi PiG says: The partnership gives Qobuz listeners an opportunity to explore the Warp Records catalogue through curated playlists, editorial features and selected album promotions, while bringing further attention to the work of one of the UK’s established independent record labels.
