Essential Albums
- Part drum 'n' bass, part jazz-fusion, Squarepusher's Warp debut sounded like little that had come before it. The breakbeats rattled so fast, they were dubbed "drill 'n' bass"; the arrangements had more twists and turns than an M.C. Escher drawing. And then there were those incredible fretless bass solos, which Squarepusher—a.k.a. producer Tom Jenkinson—performed himself. Years later, the results still sound not just blindingly original, but also wildly exhilarating—and beautiful, too, full of soothing melodies to balance out all that restless energy.

About Squarepusher
Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson makes complex, experimental drum'n'bass with a heavy progressive jazz influence and a bent for pushing the clichés of the genre out the proverbial window. A skilled bassist and multi-instrumentalist, Jenkinson's fretless accompaniment is a staple of his music and one of the more obvious affiliations with jazz. His first full-length, 1996's Feed Me Weird Things, was a dizzying, quixotic blend of super-fast jungle breaks with Aphex Twin-style synth textures and instrumental arrangements recalling vintage jazz fusion. After perfecting his marriage of drum'n'bass and fusion with 1997's Hard Normal Daddy, he focused on several different styles with his subsequent albums, from the solo jazz excursion of 1998's Music Is Rotted One Note to the garage-influenced glitchy jungle of 2001's Go Plastic. He made futuristic funk with his live band Shobaleader One, and returned to a purely electronic sound with high-BPM solo releases like 2020's Be Up a Hello.
