Hailing from Rochdale in Manchester, Autechre’s Rob Brown and Sean Booth came up through the city’s graffiti scene, building friendship based on swapping mix-tapes and collecting a mix of cheap recording gear. Soon the pair were composing their own music through their first incarnation as a group called Lego Feet, they released a self tilted track on Skam Records. It was however in 1992 that they released their first single as Autechre a 12” called Cavity Job on Hardcore records.

Over the past 14 years Autechre have released 10 albums, multiple EPs and singles.
