Squarepusher

With releases such as Feed Me Weird Things and Hard Normal Daddy, from ’96 and ’97, respectively, U.K. producer Tom Jenkinson (a.k.a. Squarepusher) helped humanize the drum ’n’ bass genre, creating electronic music that breathed like primo jazz fusion. As his new LP, Be Up A Hello, demonstrates, Jenkinson is still committed to an aesthetic of giddy sensory overload, crafting beats that bleep and buzz like the world's tightest android jazz combo albeit with a much broader emotional spectrum.
