Squarepusher - live at Koko, London 2005 - Come on my Selector

[@sunmixuk8003]

Accidentally saw squarepusher live once and he was amazing.

[@Shampoid]

How do you even do it accidentally and how can I do the same thing

[@sockmace]

I accidentally went online and bought tickets, then drove over 50 hours to the show.

[@TheCSJones]

@@ShampoidMusic festival, maybe?

[@whitetanuki232323]

I want a squarepusher/Zac Hill album. That will cause a few nose bleeds...

[@polymerproduct_spTh]

whitetanuki232323 Jesus that would be insane

[@rsfan0914]

god i fucking want that

[@nikownby1141]

holy....hell yes please

Too insane to be something maybe

[@juxyper]

never thought about this, great idea

[@thelostfutures]

Tom is the master of crowd hype, he really knows how to fire people up. He has done this at every show I have seen him do, it works.

[@tobyb1018]

😂😂😂 you haven’t seen enough live music if you think that’s firing people up at its peak…

[@highly8171]

AND OUT HE GOES! 👉

the dude pushes some serious squares

[@maxwatson9450]

Best comment I’ve seen so far

[@leftright6054]

😂

[@freddie.7531]

when he said he pushes squares... i didn't know he'd do it like THAT

[@soylentramen7795]

fckin a

[@cobywilliams7332]

true though

[@irishisme]

I've read he still uses gear from 20 years ago like the TB-303 and TR 606, which is amazing. This man is one of the pioneers of electronic music and a damn good bass player. I want to compose music like this someday.

[@barcodezombies4862]

Did you achieve your dream and compose Square pusher inspired music?

[@mnwa_mnwa]

​@@barcodezombies4862I hope they did.

[@jem12417]

yeah

[@chareslamb87]

@@barcodezombies4862I’m going to carry on the idea. Ask me in 10 years!

[@poopypoops_69]

Hello are muisician yet?

[@evolume]

Unbelievable he's been doing this for so long. Squarepusher is LEGENDARY

[@grindnoisegorecore]

This is the first thing that's made me smile in a long time

[@chrishitsthings]

I was at this but too immature to understand the greatness in front of me.... siiiiick

[@FunctionStore]

hey man I totally know how you feel. I have the same flashbacks to 2009 when I saw him at Sziget festival doing a set with a live drummer + bass, and me just leaving cuz it's not IDM... how naive I was...

[@mrbill1032]

One of his hobbies is turning coal into diamond with his thumb.

[@ricardojmestre]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ajantred]

OH MY GOD! Seeing Squarepusher in concert is one the biggest things I need to do before I kick the bucket! Haha! AWESOME :D

[@Tadesan]

Tom's Mom was there. "Oh Tom. You know how I feel about naughty language. But I'm so happy you invited me to your bass recital. I'm so proud of you." -Tom's Mom

[@pamjenks8362]

What are you talking about Tadesan ? I take it is a joke. right ?

[@MediHusky]

That's what Tom's Mom said.

[@zsantschi]

This is why I had to crawl home after seeing Squarepusher live.

[@stonedrose23]

He just tore that s**t up unprocessed raw talent and not afraid to be individual

[@zyancalikola]

Really love how he cranks up the live bass madness in the last third of the vid.

[@midinerd]

Pretty cool. It almost looks like he has an expression pedal to control the timestretching/tempo. thought I saw him lean in. he def has a ring modulation pedal oldschool style.

[@mec.robert]

This must've been fucking incredible to hear live

[@gadsenkersczwyk9121]

100 years from now this will still be ahead of its time.

[@matthewkinne7662]

except that electronic music will always sound dated to the period of time the machinery used was developed in.

[@nocomment9532]

the switch ups in this are too fucking good for human ears, the original was sick, this just pushes shit further, tom you are a beast!

[@pne-je1ie]

Why do I always find myself back here😅

[@rosspallatt2205]

after all these years I'm still just trying to understand. but I keep coming back .

[@andyrogers6375]

Tom plays bass better with his elbows than most musicians on the planet can with their hands!

[@frankbeauchamp6945]

Squarepusher live bass always seals the deal, just make sure you're punctual for the show... Tom J doesn't wait around, and neither does his- **LET THE BASS KICK**

ive never seen a guy being a dj and playing a real instrument at the same time

[@fedorsynthman]

me neither and this is not the case, because he is not a dj )

[@javiermarco5056]

He's not a DJ. He compose this music and play bass

[@andreasofchrist8777]

so hes more likely a live artist, isnt he ?

[@totofvoyages3905]

Just love your reaction after discovering the best music creator for at least 25 years. The Link with aphex twin is also true. He is edited by warp records, aphex twin label😊

Such a good bassist! Anyone who dislikes this is an absolute bell-end.

MrThunderwing he's also a huge geek.

Just out of curiosity, what does that expression mean? low end of the bell curve? I just googled it and the internet told me it is 1) a gland of the penis 2) and annoying or contemptible man.

super sequence where he played that bass.

[@InputArtist]

In the symphony of life, we find our way, Amid the dance of chaos and order, we sway, Entropy's hand in this grand, cosmic show, A tapestry of existence, ebb, and flow. From the simplicity of atoms in strife, To the complex rhythms that define our life, Music emerges from chaos's sweet breath, A melody of existence, the song of death. As the universe expands, forever untamed, In entropy's realm, we are all named, Infinite patterns of complexity arise, Within the cosmos, where chaos never dies. Order and chaos, a never-ending duel, Life's intricate dance, a beautiful fuel, From birth to the grave, we follow the theme, In this cosmic opera, a complex dream. Yet amid the tumult, a pattern does form, From entropy's grasp, a new world is born, In the grand design, we find our place, Balancing order and chaos, in life's embrace. As we journey through time, and existence unfolds, We find meaning in chaos, where the story's told, In the music of life, in its delicate hum, The entropy of the cosmos, our destiny's drum.
