such a massive sound. brings me to tears, tom
“Unreal Square”, see subtitles / captions within the video.
Thank yooou
This is and always will be legendary
Squarepusher performing live in front of a trippy wall of LEDs while wearing a helmet with LEDs dropping some crazy IDM beats/madness Tron style.
Most gratifying music. No-nonsense and uplifting.
I genuinely appreciate it.
Ya Skrillex got nothing on this guy. Squarepusher is the best I've heard. It is the most syncopated. I listen to jazz a lot and this is just as fulfilling to me especially when I don't feel like hearing saxophones and real instruments.
The push is the man, always has been, always will be.
I've been following Squarepusher since '96! This is a true return to form for me, I don't care if he's not doing anything on stage. It looks bloody fantastic, wish he'd come out here!
fuck he is doing something, twisted knob, push launchpad
who the fuck told you he's not doing anything?
I think people were more mesmerized by a pink floyd concert or a guns and roses performance. I got a secret pre-release copy of feed me weird things back in the day.
If you watch the video you see a text insert with the title.
when you are there, it's like your in a music video, the sound surrounds you, the light's,oh the light's bound you! Totally recommend you hear /see this before you die!
This is out of this world, I think I'll play this over and over for a month at least.
It's a different set of skills. Creating dynamics and change is easier in a band than just using a computer and controllers, and depending on what you do with your equipment the actions can be "technically difficult." But I don't care about skill when it comes to music, I only care about the creativity. What I hate the most in music is guitar-wankers who play 30 notes a second and insanely technical stuff just for the sake of technique.
I feel the same way. I was totally stoked on this album from the first time I listened to it. Especially the album's opening track...it has a very weird quality to to it, like he's seen what all of these hyped out mainstream electronic acts have done in the last 3 years and turned around and said--"hey I can run circles around U guys...and have 'fun' while I'm doing it!". Ufabulum fookin' rocks!
Amon Tobin and Squarepusher are two of my favorite experimental artists both currently touring and putting on ambitious synchronized light shows this year. I'd give an arm to see this live
These are taboo beats.
There are no taboos. Just socio-cultural barriers that deserve to be destroyed.
stephen k All taboos deserve to be dismantled. But Jenkins' propensity to challenge the brain's ability to comprehend rhythms is on the brink of being both forbidden and sacred.

This is great n all, but... I mean, come on... He's just letting the tracks play without manipulating anything
that was my first impression of squarepusher, i first heard his album 'do you know squarepusher' 10 years ago. it took a second listening a year later for me to get into it. i think the most challenging part of his music is that it's not intended to be aesthetically pleasing.
you're welcome to your opinion, but try another listen some time.
What we can tell from every travel we make to Europe’s eastern countries is that there are so many lovely people living there. Too many stereotypes out there!
He's so beyond what he's trying to emulate here. I don't understand why he's taken on this persona and the sound here. What he created more than 10 years ago was so much more intricate than what he presents here, despite the visual presentation. Check out his '01 Coachella performance... he didn't have the visual presentation but he had more than enough in terms of sonic presentation. Yet this is still incredibly fucking epic, I love it...
Great!
Talent.
We are going to to be jamming around A# D# and F. Follow my lead ;)
Absolutely. Straight up EDM can be fun at times, but it gets really boring listening to the same beat for hours on end. I really love artists that know how to fuck with rhythm, that know how to mess with my expectations and throw me off rather than just record everything within the boundaries of a pre-defined formula that I can easily digest.
Have you listened to Ufabulum? All of it? This is one of the tamer tracks. The album might not be quite as frenetic as his older stuff, but it gets pretty nuts- nothing I'd call "commercially accessible." Check out The Metallurgist or 303 Scopem Hard from the same album if you disagree. Fucking love Ufabulum as much as anything Squarepusher's come out with- Space Jazz madness!
dzieks za info
I don't know what is worst.
People taking pictures on their cellphones or the cameras pointing at the people taking pictures on their cellphones.
Love this guy. Wish more people knew he is where it all began. Electronic
(LostNFound) and (head to toe) are most peoples favorites
How about an intense ass light show?
i totally agree with you... perfect
Yeh I suppose he has that same headrush drum n bass style that Richard has and I suppose he borrowed a bit from Polygon Window - Untitled ( ) with the track Drax 2. But no doubt Richard borrows from Tom too, he has being playing that unreleased Squarepusher track in his sets since at Torino 2005.
hey man where is our bass?
Unreal Square. Then Drax 2.
This is certainly what the Geth would headbang to! (Any M-E fans out there?)
I am really jelus of the crowd! Great video and image....Squarepusher Quality!......Some moments I thought I was inside the room!
Depends entirely how you do it, if you only focus on a filter and a few effects, sure, I agree. However, there are producers who do much more live, like play beast live on a midi controller (like Maschine). But in a traditional sense, sure, playing an instrument requires more skill. At the same time, having played guitar in several bands, after having played the same pattern thousands of times, it kind of becomes automatic...
I guess it's impossible to know for sure, but most of these shows the "performer" plays around with sequences of sounds already recorded as audio or midi and changes the tempo, pitch, scales, and the routing of effects. In my opinion (humbly), it's not that much different theoretically than a band performing sequences of arranged music that they have agreed upon.
this shit is crazy
literally just straight up noise....it's an absolute joke to say that this is "intricate" music. I gave it a chance...just absolutely not feeling it. I don't know how anyone can feel this. To each their own, I guess...
In what manner is this "live"? I'm not knocking Tom or Ufabulum because I love both, but this sounds identical to the studio album. What is it he's doing, playing the whole thing from scratch, or...?
...and, I've been into SP since I bought Selection Sixteen in the late 90's (which is not even that long, considering his music has been coming out since the start of WARP records or something...)! ha ha
it looks so weird to me for people to dance to this. a little awkward. i can see how it's enjoyable but squarepusher is really hard to dance to i think just when i watch the crowd.
i dont really know what squarepusher does live. however, an electronic show is attended for the atmosphere and visuals. Squarepusher has a plethora of reasons to see his show.
And you're right, because there are DEFINITELY quite a few changes from the album versions here, and that in itself makes it live.
Yup, agreed. It's weird to see him without a "real" instrument. But imo he did a great job there too, I still have goosebumps.
I like SP a lot, and the light show is cool, but based on his live videos I'd never go see him in concert. ...Look borring
Obviously, you haven't been to a Squarepusher show. Just saying. If you had, you wouldn't make such audacious statements.
i have a soundcloud.. you should check it out. (music by kyle hess) its good stuff, promise
Da lo mismo si solo mueve la cabeza y las manos y haga como si moviera perillas y esté todo grabado, la música esta excelente y requirió un tremendo trabajo de produción audiovisual
wow
Sometimes a brother has to pay the bills. You cant eat when all your stuff sounds like Venetian Snares.
OH YEAH! SMACZNEGO!
ale sztywni ci polacy ;p
somebody can tell me what is the name of the track at the first 5 minutes? Thanks
if you're not blind, you can also see that he plays guitar for most of the time :)
I wonder if that 5th dimension space-travelling helmet feels heavy on the head
FML. I discovered him like 10 mins ago, and that's my city... Shit fuck fuck
Then, Why the hell you attend one of his shows if he's to boring for you?
one of the best show i ever seen
went to see him. the bass solos are so boring, just indulging himself
aphex twin aucthere ans squarepusher invent dubstep 18 years ago...
because i think ppl who actually think before they speak, i say +1
Around 3:45 he just fucking melts everyones brain.
Ćpać nie potrzeba ;)
great show. none of the fans can dance for shit tho lol
Where's the bass!? Seeing Tom without his bass is just..wrong.
10:40 i'm so in love.
I said this is not Squarepoosher. And this is true.
btw, could some1 tell me the song that plays at around 9:30 ? I love that "TA TA TA TA TA!"
Wheres his bass? I wanna see Tom slappa da bess
Best way is to move there. I live in Warsaw and I love the city. Then again it isnt too far away from Berlin, where i am from. But then again, do people really have such an image of eastern europe, let alone Poland? I cant really judge because ive practically always known poland.
♥ 10:02
Hey, I dig your response to this vid, cuz it sounds like you are a trU squarepusher fan...HOWEVER, the album Ufabulum is fucking amzing, I think. It does have this kinda "polished" quality to it which may remind one of the commercial electro acts out there (like Daft Punk), but I think it is one of his best albums for sure--it gets extremely crazy and creative. I kinda think of it as his twisted "re-interpretation" of mainstream 'performance' electronic musicians. It's worth checking out!
I would say he is re-assembling, live editing and/or playing extended versions of the tracks that the song consists of. Being a computer musician usually means being musician, composer and producer at the same time so there are nuances that may not be so noticeable. Plus, in the fuckery parts I'm sure is where he actually makes the most editing.
couldn't agree more :)
can't wait for Amon Tobin to return to Europe with ISAM. But, first things first, TONIGHT I'M FUCKING GOING TO SEE SQUAREPUSHER!!! So stoked.
playback live set ?
me too
I am sure he just rented a homeless guy to wear the mask and tom is enjoying it from the sideline
well if you want to mix with 8 bit sounds, remastering them making them 28 bits studio quality, is cheating imho.
i that, in this digital age, he takes a step back to old snes music, wich was not beautyful because of the epic instruments, but by composition is great.. (making something nice with that little resources..)
is squarepusher aphex twin?
You know, he's doing nothing on stage.
There are often times for me when electronic music is ONLY aesthetically pleasing! I'll stop and say "Wow, I don't know exactly WHY that snare rush sounded so good there, but damn it just DID!"
what's live about the show?
track at 13:16>>???? anyone knows?
im back after partying a lot and i had to watch this again, hd fullscreen, then i knew it! lol thx a lot mate, silly me :)
Aphex Twin Squarepusher Daedelus and Shit Robot in the same stage, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.
i want squarepusher in turkey
Might want to look up on that.
Heaven.
09:04
"Come on you slags!"
squarepusher and AFX, LFO.
hes squarepusher though
BASTARD¡¡¡¡ FUCKN´ AWESOME
dude, does this man have a fucking soundcloud? this music is hypnotic. i need it
the confident look in these peoples faces as they attempt to nod along is hilarious.
i totally love the album. he is showing how beyond the level of big-name electronic R-tists he is
where's his bass????
No they didn't...
