Marking the start of Tom Jenkinson’s prolific output with Warp Records, the Port Rhombus EP was Squarepusher’s first real mission statement. All three cuts are led by rattling, off-kilter beats that won over both hedonists and discerning musos. From the quintessentially British breakdowns of the title track to the cerebral acid clamour of Significant Others, this trio of tracks set Squarepusher apart from his contemporaries. Historically, it signalled the start of a legendary label-artist relationship. Sonically, it still stands tall as a golden chapter in UK electronica.

First Squarepusher track I’d ever heard. I didn’t go to bed that night.

[@_beyond7293]

same here. Port Rhombus is the one best track ever made at this genre, still listening in 2020.

@@_beyond7293 I remember this when it came out, reminds me of photeks hidden camera.

[@valeska_kevinleahy]

first track i heard from him too! great place to start...

[@victorwasright8382]

panic attack rhythms offset by melodic riffs and doodlings....i don't know what to make of it, so i just listen.

[@cobaltpencil8774]

"Panic attack rhythms" -- I haven't heard that description before, but it seems to fit. I also think of machines that are glitching and sputtering.

When I’m having a bad day I always listen to Port Rhombus. It always makes me feel better

Que temazo port rhombus, la cagó.

[@OhGodThe]

When this album dropped, Aphex Twin got scared -- and for good reason. His answer, the Richard D. James album, would not have been what it is if this immense debut statement of Squarepusher hadn't been so damned phenomenal, right out of the gate.

[@everyday316]

Agreed Port Rhombus is incredible 🤗 Still think Rdj album was a natural progression from HAB though man

[@atarirob]

Aphex was doing the crazy fast breakbeat/glitch stuff with the Hangable Auto Bulb series in 1995 before anyone knew who Squarepusher was. A bit unfair to say he was 'scared', espeically seeing as he put out an album and an EP on RDJ's label before this. They were mates making the same sort of shit at the same time.
