I was there. I tried to find me in the video, and I did. This was 20 years ago. I am now 45. I was totally obsessed with him, Tom Jenkinson back then. Good memory.
I was into Squarepusher since 1996, when I lived in the rural area of Missouri, USA. 2001 is the year I came back to Japan. Squarepusher came to Fujirock so I went to it. I went to London to see him too around that time. Luke Vibert was my idol too.
Fuji Rock is also known for hosting some of breakcores/IDMs finest such as AFX, Vsnares, Plaid etc. Staple territory for us here people who like REAL music, unlike the mass of the world who rather listen to Miley Cyrus on repeat for an entire week..
i love how everyone is just taking the music as it is, reacting naturally and being engaged from start to end. it really seems like a rare thing to happen with crowds
what i love about this the most is how into it he is. that type of stuff is rad to watch, some of the faces he makes during the set just show the dude was loving what he was doing at that moment in time.
the one break is the Think break by Lynn Collins it's often layered with the Winston's amen. Vsnares does that a lot as well. You can get some interesting pitch and frequency effects on breaks using grain delay and layering hits.
Tracklist: 1) Mutilation Colony - Excerpt (Do You Know Squarepusher) - 0:00 2) The Exploding Psychology (Go Plastic) - 2:42 3) My Red Hot Car (Go Plastic/My Red Hot Car) - 10:20 4) Do You Know Squarepusher (Do You Know Squarepusher) - 15:24 (baby vibing - 16:45) 5) Direct to Metal (Live at Fuji Rock) - 20:30 6) Boneville Occident (Go Plastic) - 23:49
I fully agree, but you would have to really listen to a lot of music to realize that this is not in the slightest bit “archaic”. He is still in a league of his own similar to Aphex Twin
Do you know squarepusher is honestly one of the most interesting songs i've ever listened to, i can't explain it but it's just so close to something that just doesn't exist. It's amazing.
15:25 what Tom does to the crowd and himself while playing that track is just amazing and legendary, no matter how awkward I'm sounding now. so inspirational ! EPIC stuff, makes me smile everytime I watch it, thank you. classic recording, long live Squarepusher and Fuji Festival !
Not awkward to say at all, that tune is an absolute face-melter to this day, and it’s really crazy to think of production like this being done nearly 25 years ago. Dude’s one of the best to ever do it without a doubt
effing blew me away man. I have listened to squarepusher since like 2002, but after seeing this I am listening to everything he has done. I will be sharing this with a few friends
+Ben C Also look for robclouth on Soundcloud. Awesome artist. Maybe look at robclouth's Vaetxh for some super mind bending stuff. All on there. Also, Woulg is a dude from Canada I believe. And finally the defunct Enigmatik Records, enigmatiksounds at bandcamp. Shame the label isn't with us any longer. They really broke new ground.
i think this is a more fun show compared to some edm mega light show. feels more real and thus easier to appreciate. also its great to see a large crowd enjoy such colorful experimental sounds
That's most Japan crowds for you. They actually enjoy it when they can. Most shows in the states are water down thots half dressed or dudes rolling off X
Cato, all those dodgy gurners you boshed back in the 90s seem to have fried your serotonin receptors and turned you into a negative old git. Go listen to something you DO like instead of shit-posting on every comment under something you don't like.
rocking a peavey pc1600- good man. the original hardware midi controller, which you can programme without a computer. built like a tank. banging set too, tom.
Cato Knudsen I think he's right. Boneville Occident is the only one I came to check but the audio from that performance sounds identical to what I hear on my record of "Do You Know Squarepusher".
Someone told me one of my tracks gave them Squarepusher vibes… I didn’t know who he was then but now I understand that it was one of the biggest compliments i could have gotten 🙏
That's the concert to be at - I hope kids look back on this - like we do about the 60s - try to put a breakbeat to squarepusher, hahaha, I didn't think so.
Noise, jungle, melodies, crazy beats and that squarepusher touch... would be a perfect set if he jammed along with the bass too...........but its still 9.9999/10
It's mostly just playing back tracks, not really processing too much. The huge cabinets are holding the hardware that does the heavy lifting of cleaning up the sound, FX etc.
laptops of this period could playback multi-track audio solidly. he's primarily using outboard effects over the top of his pre-recorded tracks. i played live shows with the first macbook starting in '01 using logic.
Nowadays you could absolutely do a show like this with software only, but it'd probably be way less reliable. Back then I don't think you could do this much audio processing and sequencing on a laptop without a lot of latency. Laptops pushing out MIDI to hardware synths and effects seems to make most sense here.
It was more an opinion on wheather I would want to shoot myself from bordom if I were on drugs and came to dance vs. what to call this noise.. WHatever you call it, it isn't good for dancing to. Ya unhip person.
Being Sqaurepuaher and playing in a Japanese forest at 9am in 2001 is a mood bro!
Y también , es de genios hacerlo
is a mood? what sort of language is that? what are you trying to say? at least you didn't call it a vibe like most morons these days do

Insane!

Every concert in Japan that I’ve watched is similar, they love to vibe with no shame
this still sounds like the future

Mdma baby! 😁
You can get the same effect if you make sound like that or listen to it! No need for Drugs!
Would love to travel time to see this concert live!! 🤩
That break at 5:19 is perhaps the most disgustingly perfectly processed and composed break in existence. Cannot be beaten.
the one break is the Think break by Lynn Collins it's often layered with the Winston's amen. Vsnares does that a lot as well. You can get some interesting pitch and frequency effects on breaks using grain delay and layering hits.

If I had a time machine this would be my first and last stop.
This and a few other concerts
japanese festivals are different, everyone is running at the stage when the artist starts to play
When music is art people want to get up close to see the painting
Gary W-l-o-t yeah, but when it's a gig they are there mostly just before it starts
Maybe because idm festivals there are popular
effing blew me away man. I have listened to squarepusher since like 2002, but after seeing this I am listening to everything he has done. I will be sharing this with a few friends
I love how the crowd is peacefully bouncing
we use to watch this footage over and over back in 2002 ;)
it still blows my mind!!!
Now this is a great crowd. Knowing when to get down, and when to shut up, and when to shout for that matter. And a great set of course.
man, this guy...& Aphex Twin are just at the forefront of electronic music ...blows my mind, 'The Exploding Psychology' is just mind blowing.

Do You Know Squarepusher is absolute perfection. So much action and drama packed into it.
It's always great to see people rush towards the stage rather than run away when you come on.

Lol, guy at 3:32-3:34 looked like the back of Aphex Twin's head... Haha
lmaooo exactly
This whole live set is included in the 2002 Do You Know Squarepusher cd.
no

I think he's right. Boneville Occident is the only one I came to check but the audio from that performance sounds identical to what I hear on my record of "Do You Know Squarepusher".

i now wonder doesn't he/she became an edm producer... lmao
what if we kissed in squarepusher live act at Fuji festival 2001
haha just kidding

this setting is so dope!
2001...wow...mindblowing...but dont rest in that unreal retro vision...mr. squaredaddy...peace
Brilliant great to see know mobiles filming reminds me of early Glastonbury back in the early 90s. Great atmosphere people enjoying the music.
Someone told me one of my tracks gave them Squarepusher vibes… I didn’t know who he was then but now I understand that it was one of the biggest compliments i could have gotten 🙏
I think I might cry
The best ever experimental drum and bass I've ever heard
I wouldn’t call it drum n bass, it’s drill n bass
If you try to categorize his music into a genre, you will not be able to fully understand it.

amazing magior influence on me and has help me evolve as an artist.
Thank you for AL THE DEVINE FREQUENCIES
such a surreal event... alien somehow and very beautiful.
World record for best vibes in a video.
So glad this book of the Squarepusher bible has been uploaded, the church will be pleased.
The crowd respecting each other. :)
AMAZING!!! This is such a sick squarepusher live event!!
Noise, jungle, melodies, crazy beats and that squarepusher touch... would be a perfect set if he jammed along with the bass too...........but its still 9.9999/10
Phenomenal set/performance /work. Decades ahead of the curve.
I cant imagine how he managed using those slow IBM laptops back then
I can only imagine the laptop was just playing midi to outboard samplers?

Saw him at DEMF in 2013. It was amazing but seeing him back then seems like it would have been even cooler!!
What a show, more than 20 years and always at the top ...

Это невероятно!!! Вот это Музыка!!!
I love that they uploaded this at 720p & 1080p, because there's almost zero difference in quality from 480p standard definition.
Go Plastic is still ahead of it’s time even today. It should be locked away in a vault until 2134.
Go plastic is one of the best albums ever made
Thanks for posting this! I'd love to see more!
This is beautiful
revisiting this, why are there so many bucket hats? lol
thats where they keep their squarepusher CDs
Brilliant
15:32 how do you make something this ahead of its time
Mutilation Colony is a legit sound test.
That baby at 16:45
soo..
i love you Tom!!
He's using a PC. NIIIICE
What's your point?
PC represent!
@@jakubmadron7776 hmm maybe it was he's using something I recognize to do that. Huh. Good question.
the whole concert is great

Pfffffffff, no words, just wow !!!!!

Not a single fkn Smartphone.. Just people listening to this incredible set. Miss this times.

chills for 30 minutes haha love it

32% music, 7% pill popping, 152% adjusting hair, 89% biting lower lip, 564% gesticulating and headbanging
0% understood
Best crowd I’ve ever seen
His brother is also awesome!
Thanks :))
holy shit squarepusher is good
16:32 that's a phone now
Having a great time. Getting a bit funky
Where all your ring mod needs are meet
Go plastic is the best stuff I know of that squarepusher has done so far.
you can find some good stuff in his big loada compilation too.
why?
TJ is still in my top 5 but i think he'd be number 1 if i was here
lmao the entire first bit is just his "last-minute" soundcheck
10:51 pill kicked in lol (s/o my #emptybellyboys))
Empty belly for sure as fast as dat pill hit his fucking system lol
19:34 a-a-a-a-a-nd t-o-o-o-o-o y-o-o-o-o-ou
red hot car sounds so good live
I'm pretty sure The Dillinger Escape Plan played that year's festival. Them and Squarepusher would've been a fun day out.

Anybody know what is DAW / hardware setup was here?
Japan loves breakcore and Drum N Bass
