Exclusive! Take a peek at the Warp20 Box Set

Oooooooooooooh! My precious! As you may or may not know, legendary record label Warp is celebrating its 20th birthday. To commemorate all of the great - and it has been almost non-stop greatness - they are releasing Warp20 which is, as you may have guessed, a box set of brilliance to celebrate 20 years of Warp.

DiS has been given an exclusive look at the Warp20 box set, as well as a couple of snaps to see what it actually looks like. This is some serious high-end shit. We hope you are as excited as we are.

Over the years Warp have released records by the likes of Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, !!!, Maximo Park, Leila, LFO, Tim Exile, Boards of Canada and Flying Lotus, to name just nine.

The box set features a whole array of new and old, covers, unreleased cuts, some favourite tracks from founder Steve Beckett as well as the top ten pieces voted for by Warp fans. There's also a near 200 page book included. Rad.

The Warp20 box set will be pressed just once. The number of (limited) copies will be predetermined and by pre-orders, which you can do here - for a discounted price.

Feast your peepers!
