Squarepusher - Vortrack [Fracture Remix] (Official Audio)

‘Be Up A Hello’, out 31 January 2020 on Warp | squarepusher.net
After a 5 year hiatus, Squarepusher returns with ‘Be Up A Hello’, released 31 January as First Edition Vinyl LP, CD and digital formats. Ahead of the album, a double A-side ‘Vortrack’ 12" will be released on 6 December, featuring the album track and Squarepusher’s own 'Fracture' remix - first dropped during his brain-melting breakbeat and jungle set for the WXAXRXP x NTS takeover in June. Both tracks are available to hear now.
‘Be Up A Hello’ sees Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) return to using a bewildering array of vintage analogue and digital hardware, the same equipment that first helped him develop his sound in the early '90s. Something of a 180 degree turn, these synths, effects units and even a Commodore Vic20 are in complete contrast to the tools he used to create 2015’s ‘Damogen Furies’ - cutting edge software that Tom developed over the course of 15 years.
The result is an album of rinsing breakbeat floor fillers, pieces loaded with visceral atmosphere and melody, and darker moments that illustrate Squarepusher’s continuing fascination with finely balanced psychological overload. As such, ‘Be Up A Hello’ gives a nod to the mayhem, joyousness and abandon of the DIY Essex rave scene that was a strong determinant in Tom Jenkinson's work.
‘Vortrack’ released 6 December on limited double-A side 12”

@Sayag nice desperation

[@Psil0]

@Sayag Downvoted for shameless self promotion.

[@ManicallyMellow]

This has quenched my thirst for filth.. please upload his set somewhere online. It's not available on NTS! www.nts.live/shows/wxaxrxp/episodes/squarepusher-live-from-nts-london-22nd-june-2019

[@stephen6164]

@Sayag Nice tracks - thank you for sharing. Might want to contact Hymen Records or Schematic, methinks your tracks would fit nicely on there.

[@thedzima]

Because this is f.king daddy

[@SERGE_Tech]

720p on purpose... I see whats your doing, you want me to enjoy my compression, my artifacts, and yes I do, anything from the gift giver is a good thing. and yes I did think of wipeout, my childhood gaming days, gaming on ps1, custom built pc in my backyard tree house fort thing... also all those years of squarepusher music, telling everyone I know, this guys big in my world, maybe some day everyone will get a chance to enjoy his music! Thx Tom!! Just as squarepusher is out of his hiatus we too need to wake up and smell the ashes.

[@pitzonmania]

One of the best tracks I heard in recent years. It's one of this rare occasions where a remix transcends the original, and offers a new interpretation. A true tour de force.

[@chrisb6296]

The mastering is pretty good too

[@reverseetc]

Whoa this is exactly what I needed to hear.

oh my fucking god this was my fav track from warp30 set, so glad to see it released

[@Ryan-rf6nl]

Maybe best track he's done since tundra4.

[@markmcd]

For sure - definitely the best track he's released in the last 5 years.

[@dojomojomofo]

I love the contrast of acoustics between instruments. Once again proving a convention doesn't need to be observed if handled skillfully...

[@penamuuri6767]

yup so different this best track from him, he mustn been hella high while pulling this shit together.

[@forestsunset9617]

IMO he is only decent at idm style jungle, i think all the other stuff is boring or noodling.

[@nameless646]

It's like he put a microphone into my brain and heart while I was asleep. I love this track.

[@peatrude4872]

a simple yet effective hypnotic groove, love it

[@HaK1208]

Simple ? ?

[@AlexHerlan]

This and the non-remix are both classic Squarepusher. Im excited. I wont lie, his more recent output started to lose me. But a new album with old equipment that goes back to his roots is perfect. I hope he still plays some bass on this though. And live too, as he just announced tour dates near me

[@chrisb6296]

Original and the album it was all all pale in comparison imo

[@brothershirt3156]

Squarepusher was always the go to soundtrack for trips. Helped me embrace the confusion of the journey. Even when shit would get super dark and overwhelming I knew the squarepusher sound was there.

Thx for this upload, I've been listening to this on the Warp30 live footage.

[@martincattell6820]

He performed this at Brighton's Concorde 2 (27.10.2021). I couldn't place the track because I kind of thought this was a bit poor compared to the original. No more. This was oppressively dark and liberatingly beautiful that night. I felt like I was shattered into a billion colours and possessed by a menacing future of impenetrable darkness. I felt like the machines had taken over and I was pleased to discover I was one of them. That night surpassed my wildest dreams, musically.

[@jim041276]

I heard this first in that mad film Bull. Glad I was able to find out what it was called. Its a gnarly piece,I dont know if its quite jungle or d&b, tempos sounds well slow but it might be the gate on the drums, the sounds are totally jungle/d&b/techstep style. Its great tbh.
