The entire drum track of this song is just a simple breakbeat from a James Brown song called Soul Pride. He did this in 97. Nobody was doing it like this in 97. Incredible artist and era of his work.

I could be totally wrong, but I feel like Aphex Twin must have had tracks with similar break beats to this before that time. I am only saying this because he is so prolific, and I know I have heard a number of his tracks with this sound. Not fanboying, just a thought. I'm interested in the chronology of music and influences, although I know some people really seem to hate that.

It’s not “just a simple breakbeat” it’s heavily edited by chopping and processing the sample, which is one of the main ways of creative expression on this genre. Although i get what you mean, they turn a couple of bars of drums into an entire track

You made videos about 2 of the most loved IDM(EDM) and "warp" label musicians, aphex twin and squarepusher, it would be super cool too see a video about my favorite band of all times Boards Of Canada. They are 2 brothers who make this super awesome type of psychedelic, nostalgic, mysterious blend of hip hop, edm and experimental eletronic that is heavily inspired in the 70's decade and the aesthetic of old educational tv programs and documentaries. They are in the same records label as squarepusher and aphex twin and are also know as one of the pioneers and legends of IDM.

The drum beat is sampled from Soul Pride (Parts 1 And 2) · James Brown · The James Brown Band from 1969. The drummer's name is Clyde Stubberfield. Squarepusher sampled and edited the drum break to the next dimension. There is also a drum machine layered on top of the drum sample which sounds similar to a Roland TR-909. It's sad that you didn't react to one of Squarepusher's tunes that showcase his live bass playing. This track is amazing however it doesn't showcase his more complex composing abilities.

Warp Records stuff is one of the holy grails of electronic music. The biggest artists that were associated with the regretfully named "IDM" genre on the label were Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid, and Squarepusher. The term IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) was coined in the US for music being made by these artists but they themselves did not associate with the term (Aphex Twin openly rejected it coining the genre name "Braindance" for his own record label Rephlex). I think it's important to point this out considering the immense influence things like Detroit Techno (Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Underground Resistance) and Chicago House (Mr. Fingers, Phuture, Adonis) have had on these artists. I could see you appreciating some of the more ambient techno leaning stuff on Warp as well like The Black Dog, B12, Richard H. Kirk, LFO, and the entire Artificial Intelligence series of albums (of which Aphex Twin (as Polygon Window), Autechre, and Plaid (as members of Black Dog Productions) were a part of). There seem to be a lot of people on here suggesting that you check out Autechre and I think it's worth noting that they have many different sounds and innovations that span their catalog so there are going to be some vast differences between releases. While I think you should definitely check out their early ambient techno leaning stuff like Incunabula and Amber I think that for the purposes of this channel you should use a track from the period when they most definitively innovated composition using generative techniques in Max/MSP. The polarizing album Confield from 2001 is when they fully committed to this sound and I think the track "Bine" showcases it the most with it's constantly morphing meters and polyrhythms.

Please please do more Squarepusher. I believe these tracks showcase his most interesting and complex compositional skills: Come on my selector Squarepusher theme Port rhombus Ultravisitor Dissolver Go! Spastic Tetra-Sync Tundra 4 Keep in mind he cuts each individual drum hit and sequences them separately, rather than relying on whole break loops as most do. Which is very impressive as often times it does sound live, but he is also a great live drummer. Dissolver is from an album where he composed music for a Japanese robot band and it is incredible, would love to hear your thoughts.

That weird sound where it’s like he’s stretching the snare, that is called a “snare rush.” Aphex Twin and him are the masters of that. Wow. So you’ve done Aphex Twin. Now Squarepusher. They’re both madmen and their catalogs are absolutely packed with great stuff of extremely different styles. Boards Of Canada’s “a beautiful place in the country” is also late 90’s EDM, same label (Warp) but they use tape effects - like literal tape effects, I think you’ll really appreciate.

From 1997. I’ve never heard this. It still sounds more or less current. It’s near the end of the early techno and jungle scene but still early for Drum’n’bass, which relies on jazz scales and baselines. The drum loop is one of about 5 almost identical drum phrases collectively known as ‘funky drummer’ by the James Brown song the defacto loop is known for, used in most dnb tracks (which I think this is) as well as Prodigy music. This is after after Feed Me Weird Things (96). Which is the one I know. He’s very close to Aphex Twin but a lot more beat oriented and soft. This is softer than his first album maybe. It reminds me also of Four Tet. Video games music = Hudson Mowhawk who scored Watch Dogs 2. The Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack by Amon Tobin (el cargo) is very interesting.

Lead/bass synth are the beat and the drums are the voice. That is how Squarepusher works. The drums do the singing. Also the amen break is prevalent in a lot of break beat.

This was also around 2002 so hopefully he can appreciate it now but I guess there’s some people who think writing this stuff is easy…it’s far from easy.

NMesh would be an interesting artist to try out. His style is a mix of Breakbeat, Vaporwave, Plunderphonics, Jungle, and Ambient. His samples reach from the 30s to the early 90s. He utilizes all of that media from that 60 year gap, like PSAs, Pop records, commercials, films, and many other sample sources to create this dream like vibe that can feel like a hardcore fever dream at times, especially in his Pharma record. I would suggest you start with his groovier stuff like Climbing the Corporate Ladder, N_1_N_1, Bass Corp, Keep This, Dream Sequins, and High Speed Automatic Boiler. That last one is on the shorter end, but it’s still a bop even if it is only using a sample from The Price is Right.

Subgenre is called "drill n bass" on account of the drum samples sometimes being so fast that they sound like drills. Richard D James and Kirlian Selections are key albums in that style I would say.

If you want something a bit more up tempo and aggressive from Squarepusher then try "Come on my selector" for the Big loada EP. It's fast, furious and hardcore.

Technically artists like Squarepusher & Aphex Twin predate what we now call EDM and we’re in their formative years referred to collectively as IDM. Intelligent Dance Music. In many ways they approached the new horizons offered by electronic production and viewed themselves either as new composers or jazz arrangers, or both. EDM came along later and and is broadly associated with Stadium friendly big light shows etc. Nothing wrong with it - I certainly have attended shows of both. But yes - Squarepusher & Aphex shows and tours would be packed - largely due to the rarity of their art.
