Autechre on TV 1994 - 01 Rob Brown & Sean Booth Interview

- On 15 September 1994, British electronic duo Autechre appeared in person on MTV Europe's weekly Party Zone TV show. Band members Rob Brown and Sean Booth were interviewed by host Simone Angel and a couple of song requests also featured. The programme concluded with Autechre's Basscadet (Bcdtmx Mix) music video. This was a rare opportunity for a multinational TV audience to see Autechre before they achieved their later status & recognition - however, the event is not widely documented nor available on video today...
A far-from-optimal satellite signal was the source for my own VHS recording. The quality isn't great, but I've decided to upload it to TH-cam as a unique historical record for today's electronic music fans. Enjoy!

what's the song that's playing at the end?
Background music is "Autechre - Autriche" ; Music video is "Mark Franklin - Release to the System"
I've put both in a playlist along with other videos related to this interview:
th-cam.com/play/PLKBmMMiIom6Y5AjQsov2fdaKxpo_Z2ACx.html
It was on Artificial Intelligence 2 double cd along with Speedy J/ Darrel Fitton/ Aphex etc, it's a great early Warp Release.
Mark Franklin - Release To The System (Beaumont Hannant Remix)
Beaumont Hannant ... possibly the most under rated artist of the whole "IDM" scene.
@@jonthewlis1041 Utuba was a real highlight of Artificial Intelligence 2; definitely an underrated artist.
i can't believe there was a point in history where Autechre was interviewed by MTV...
This is a total surprise to me, too. Seeing an interview video of them, in general.
MTV Europe from London was fantastic before it changed to MTV UK & Ireland in '97. That was the beginning of the end.
In the 90s MTV was still interested in the underground... I miss that..
MTV was great in the early/mid-90:ies. Even in the late 90:ies before it went to shit :). Lots of exposure to smaller artists. I learned about Aphex Twin, Coldcut, Hexstatic, the X-mix compilations and plenty of other smaller artists and genres through MTV :).
this was before Napster and P2P in general. The internet allowed fans of somewhat more left field music to look up new music for themselves. So they no longer had to rely on mainstream media to find it. So when that started happening, MTV and other mainstream media lost a chunk of viewership that would be interested in that. Which lead to them focusing even more on the mainstream segment of the market. It's about how new media, in this case P2P file sharing and the internet, re-segmented the market because it gave fans of more underground music a more direct access to it. It's not about MTV magically losing a heart for underground music; it's just in the early '90s, these audiences had nowhere else to go which allowed MTV to capitalize on it.
You could really hide a synth or two in those pants..
he could use those pants as a tent xD
One EMS Synthi100 per leg
hahaha
I think they're making fun of baggy pants
JNCO's were a thing at the time. I used to put a 40 oz in my back pocket and you really couldn't tell, lol.
Sean Booth has the most intense stare since Picasso.
Hits home
the autism stare
Dude I've seen this video around 100 times. You don't know how much I love them
I feel you.
These guys changed music and continue to press.
never thought id be searching "autechre mtv" on youtube
Rob & Sean, the reclusive kings of authentic electronic music
tf is unauthentic music
Kings?
Aight… what are BoC then?
@@kaydgaming Gods
@@kaydgaming posers
Who's Dave Tipper then?
Didn't realize that Autechre was sponsored by JNCO jeans
I believe those are Pilko Pump Pants.
MTV then and MTV now... :(
The world then and now.
At that moment they were recording two greatest releases of all time, Amber and Garbage.
Oh dear god Sean. 😍
really appreciate this one, cheers mate.
You mean 'maetl'?
viktorhertz behave...
Thanks a lot for uploading this. Such a nostalgic treat; pants included.
Ahhh. I long for the days where Electronic Music was for nerds and outsiders, not cake throwing posers and fashion models with ghost producers. It was actually pure, and the people were genuine, as shown here.
These old days before we become old ravers stucked in the past ?
I want to respond to your question(or attempt at trolling), but how can I?
Erik Freeman tell us more about the good ol' days of yore you long for, hipster grandpa
Tulpa Kat and trolling TH-cam is some sort of genius level activity?
Too simplistic of a view in my opinion. People change drastically over time. Kids who started out going to raves and doing all sorts of drugs sometimes end up finding peace in more cerebral music later on. Sometimes it's the other way around. Other times, it's neither. People are so much more complex than we tend to think.
Degeneracy has been recorded millennia before today. This isn't anything new.
pants, tho.
Thanks for this autechre interview! Hope you have more vhs to digitize! The original MTV interviews like this respected music and the creators truly. At that time I got YO mtv raps tapes from a friend. Nothing like this in media anymore!
it's weird. i've never seen video of them ever. this is interesting
Sean is cute af
he is a cutie isnt he
Hah, Party Zone... I'm glad I got to live through that period. What an amazing show. (not to mention Chill Out Zone that was on late on Saturday nights) Found so much great music via MTV back in the mid/late 90:ies :). Also, Simone was a staple back then. I really appreciate all the work highlighting these smaller artists.
Before the IDM label came into play: "Original music" :D :D .
Also, I believe 3:35 is the only time I've ever seen a lighter side of Autechre. Lovely to see they've got some humor about about their music ;).
i hope you and the other people watching this video have seen Sean's twitch ama's, they're nice to watch
I'm grateful for your posting this video.
2nd Bad Vilbel, if you go over the snake pass from Sheffield to Manchester you go through Glossop, which is twinned with Bad Vilbel in Germany.
Nicolas Cannon "Reniform Puls" from Draft7:30 means "kidney bean" (reniform means kidney shaped and a pulse is obviously another word for a seed).... I think me and you should both get out of the house more my friend!!
lovely... in 94 I was recording to cassette tape my Amiga techno tunes... I was skint...
Golden age of MTV.
She rocks.
Rob looks like Limmy when he is on a perma...
Fuckin quality 👍😄
SimonGrowl hahaha
Remember that acid we took on the last day of school. I'm still trippin'.
It's amazing how people who are into the same music and sub cultures have the same sense of humor etc.
Limmy would be on the comedy equivalent of Warp. So would Connor O'Malley and Eric Andre. Maybe Stuart Lee.
thanks for uploading this man!
Thank you for sharing this, awesome.
The part talking about the song titles is hilarious. Good job Simone! There needs to be more nerdy IDM babe interviewers like her.
Nice profile pic
Appreciate your recording and upload. Thanks for sharing; a little short but interesting interview
is that the same girl that interviewed Aphex back in 1996?
Yes, it is - her name is Simone Angel. Plenty of info if you google her.
RHCPa5htray damn right
She’s great.
The same girl he boned
lads you rythmed my youth
Sean 😍
Thanks for uploading
Shout out to Rob, pretty sure him and me and Aphex were the only blokes in the electronic/ rave scene in 1994 rocking long hair (it was pretty uncool at the time compared to the all over number one as modeled by Sean).
Who the hell are you then
This is brilliant, thanks!
big ups for the efforts man
This looks like it came from a different time and space
Woah, young Sean Booth looks A LOT like Blawan, aka Jamie Roberts.
"And it ends like pfffffchchchckkrr" 2:33
somebody should sample that...
>what is nts sessions
Thank You
I feel fucking old.
Do strength training.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this!
great job sir, thx a lot for the upload
grunge slacker and threatening raver become friends and go on mtv
😂
Never mind the quality, it's amazing to see these guys in the flesh, not long after they started the glitchy beats we love. Later on, they disobeyed the dictatorship in everyone's head that all music must be in 4: da da da da. They were not the first.
Thanks a million for uploading this
Thank you for upload.
Cheers for uploading this Ralph
Thank you.
you could freefall with those pants
damn i was born the day after
in the beginning they made it sound very simple to produce, i doubt they would tell something like this in the end of 90' to now.
thanks for uploading this!
Whoa Party Zone!... What great days MTV used to be...
Thanks for sharing this
thank u so much for this
awesome thanks for posting this
Could sail half way around the world with those trousers
excellent! thanks for uploading!
great document, thanks for sharing
thanks - great document !!
legends in the building
Proper ravers with those pants! Love it
Both those guys have great pants.
I miss Simone
skateboards to 8 bit then 16,32,64. them wa't days
This was MTV, kids
It's a pity that MTV Europe has most likely trashed or recorded over the original film for this.
Sean!!!
Nice upload. Solid sharing.
I was only a year old, at that time .. ;)
Crazy how young ravers were back then
legends
Great quality!
Sean is so fine.....
These lads look like absolute ellite
1:03 "just music" TELL EM SEAN TELL EM
I guess it was to hot in the studio for a North Face parka. Nice trousers though.
Gods of music
OMG

Never knew Beth Gibbons was a member.
they're so handsome.
good times. remember LA 2002 OVUCA CYLOB. missed you
❤

Seeonsee is their best ever track for me.
F**kin love these two men.
I would plump their sofa cushions, froth their cappuccinos and clean their respective cars .
GODS
They are a great example of two individuals who know who they are and what they want in life. They have always been their own men, following their own path regardless of the what the rest of the world is doing. Sometimes I google them and just look at their pics to remind myself of the value of being who you are.
Found an other very short autechre interview, more a preconcert interview but still fun.. around 17:50 .. UMF 206 Uuden Musiikin Festivaali - Turku 2006
whoa cool
nice pants
2:34 I need to sample that.
Holy shit
Thank's
fondamentali!!!!!!!!!!
Are we sure that this is 1994? They're talking about Garage, assuming UK Garage, but as a genre it was in very early stages at the time. The 2-step variation of the sound didn't even exist then.
They would have probably been referring to the American garage. Those records been played pitched up fast possibly/kind of developed into UK forms of garage later in the 90s
Back then Garage commonly just meant song-based house music.
These are the wrong trousers Grommit!!!
