Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Squarepusher: “4001″ (Ufabulum, Warp 2012)The lead track from Squarepusher’s 2012 full-length for Warp feels like a convergence of everything at which he excels: incredibly detailed syncopation,...

Twisted Science: “Magma Hum” (Blown, Lo Recordings 1999)As Twisted Science, Jon Tye always operated in the furthest outskirts of drum & bass — remember when “breakcore” wasn’t a thing yet...

Squarepusher: “The Exploding Psychology” (Go Plastic, Warp 2001)I’ve been experiencing a bit of a renewed interest in the hyperkinetic programming of Tom Jenkinson, especially his albums that cross...

Skeptical: Imperial EP (Exit)“Imperial” hinges around a moody flute sample, but it’s the machine gun percussion of its uptempo breaks that makes it such a cool track. It has some of the...

Chaos A.D.: “Psultan (Squarepusher Remix)” (The Braindance Coincidence, Rephlex 2001) Tom Jenkinson crosses the streams with this remix of his own Chaos A.D. track. He shifts the sound...

Squarepusher: “Venus No. 17” (Ultravisitor bonus disc, Warp 2004) Every time I think I may be tired of Tom Jenkinson’s music, I give it a listen and it sounds as fresh as ever.

Dom + Roland: “Chained on Two Sides” (Industry, 1998) From 15 years ago, in the thick of my fixation on drum & bass… and it still sounds great to me.

Analog Drum & Bass Interesting and cool video of a drum & bass track creating using all analog gear, no sampling or digital editing. Here’s the blurb from the original poster on Vimeo:...
