Squarepusher, the pseudonym of Tom Jenkinson, is an iconic figure in the electronic music world, known for his experimental approach that skillfully melds genres such as drum and bass, acid house, and jazz fusion. Born on 17 January 1975 in Chelmsford, Essex, Squarepusher has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since the mid-1990s, gaining a reputation for his complex, frenetic bass lines and adept live instrumentation, often incorporating his talent as a bass guitarist into his electronic compositions.

Throughout his prolific career, Squarepusher has consistently challenged his listeners with a sound that is both intricate and intense. Albums like "Hard Normal Daddy" and "Feed Me Weird Things" quickly established him as a central figure in the Warp Records roster, showcasing his signature blend of high-speed breakbeats and abstract melodies. More recent releases, such as "Be Up A Hello" (2020), return to his roots in analog hardware, illustrating a fusion of retro sounds with modern production techniques, while the "Lamental EP" demonstrates his ceaseless exploration into the textural and emotive possibilities of electronic music. Always unpredictable, Squarepusher's commitment to innovation ensures that each new release is a venture into uncharted sonic territory, earning him critical acclaim and a devout following among electronic music aficionados.
