AE_LIVE 2016/2018 (also known as onesix) is a series of live recordings by British electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 April 2020 by Warp Records. It consists of 7 soundboard recordings made during their live tours in 2016 and 2018.[1][2][3] The 2016 dates were recorded during Autechre's European "onesix" tour, and the 2018 dates were recorded during a short tour of Australia, Japan and Ireland.[4][5] Autechre has said some dates from these tours were not recorded due to technical difficulties.[6] Both tours feature variations of the same set. AE_LIVE 2016/2018 follows the previous series AE_LIVE, which features a different set performed during 2014 and 2015.[7]

Autechre has described the sound of the 2016/2018 set as "quite different" from the 2014/2015 set, saying that the newer set is "a little bit slower, and a little bit more focused on the sound than the beat ... a lot of the sequencing is still very complex, but it's a lot of curves rather than discrete events ... it's quite difficult to categorize ... we just think of it as Autechre."[6] The set was intentionally designed so that it could be performed in both traditional music venues/clubs and seated concert halls.[6] The Ireland date was held in Dublin's National Concert Hall.[8] The recordings are accompanied by individualized artwork produced by The Designers Republic.
