perfect tune for a middle aged man to listen to while winter running in shorts

[@FairuzOsman]

I feel attacque

..wearing only wet socks, as he is simultaneously being tracked by a hoard of rabid dogs and being shot at with an air rifle from the other side of the snowy fields🤣 gotta keep moving, jog on!🥶

[@HootHinge]

@antichicmusic i like to feel the breeze, on my shins and knees

[@antichicmusic]

All good, was just joking, the track starts off quiet straight forward but then turns in to pure audio anarchic madness, I wouldn't be able to go cycling or running in a straight line if that was in my ears🙂 @@HootHinge

[@ThunderHOWL16]

love it. one of my favorite memories from covid lockdown was running through the park at night, with only the moonlight to guide me, while listening to Druqs. 10/10 experience.

[@23Hashshashin]

True story....I was lighting designer/club operator in the early 2000's. Squarepushers' rider specified, no lighting other than strobes and smoke. So that's what I did. Lots of both, live op, busked right along with SP. The following week the club received an email complaining that the lightning was "too much", "violent" and that I should be fired for abusing the audience. I was so proud.

[@colinrussell2017]

What a compliment! Sounds like you did a great job!

[@23Hashshashin]

@@colinrussell2017 yeah, I was a fan, and I don't know what the ratio is with Squarepusher shows and house lighting guys liking his stuff is, but I had a lot of fun with it. I get it though, I'm sure sitting at home listening to his stuff perhaps you pictures lots of pretty lights. But that is not what was requested.

[@colinrussell2017]

@@23Hashshashin I saw Autechre around the same period (early 2000s) and I don't recall ANY lighting or effects. Just two guys in a dark room playing a punishing set. "OH YEAH!" My 23 year old self thought, "I'm in the future!"

[@mosstet]

I saw him when he had two screens that just played glitched out white lights for the whole set. I'll be honest, it was quite awful and impossible to watch.

its crazy cuz that section is the hardest drill n bass hes ever done. its completely fucking insane. im 100% convinced now that Steinvord is his alias, ten years later it all makes sense now.

[@phylazen5649]

if youre unfamiliar, (which i hope you are cuz you're in for a treat) look up Steinvord - lyff Acid [HQ 1080p]

[@leise_im_kran]

@@phylazen5649 Sorry, I used to listen to Steinvord on a daily basis a few years ago ;-). You're right, this section is very similar to iyff acid. Also, ontrackv2 always sounded very jenkinson-like to my ears.

[@dialect64]

Somewhere on a lost hard-drive is a tribute drill'n'bass tune I made about 20yrs ago titled "PearSquisher" and pears were most definitely squished lol

[@hunterbeatbilly9836]

I never knew Tom's alias happens to be steinvord. Last time that I heard about it is that it was aphex's secret alias in one of the iceberg videos

Listening to this track loud in my car made me feel the same way i felt at the front of an Aphex gig. From me, that's just about the highest praise i could ever give!

[@chizhov]

Remember being a student,I was buying Go plastic and the record store seller told me to be ready to sense the world turning inside out while listening. Glad to sense the same here.

Man I haven't heard squares pushed this hard since Selection Sixteen

[@antiphlex]

Man, this track was nailed to the floor. I haven't rocked out this hard since Terminal Slam.

[@babylonbroken1601]

The detuned sinister overwhelming synths and unrelenting breaks have always been peak squarepusher for me. Had me openly crying at 2 gigs. The Venus no.17 tour back in the day at the glade stage at glasto..... Dude in front of me got stretchered away cos his mind caved in. First time on acid, strong AF dose and peak aggressive Tom.

Mmm Squarepusher AND an old school o'scope. These are a few of my favorite things.

[@marcelo_monteverde]

I have been a fan since 1998, in 2012 I fulfilled my dream and saw their show at Sonar Sao Paulo, in the front row and wearing a t-shirt with the logo made by me. I always return to Squarepusher, either for new features or trying to play some of their songs on drums without success. Years later I discovered that Squarepusher video game sounds bring back the same happiness I felt as a child, they activate very deep feelings that I thought were lost. Eternal thanks for that and for the incredible work, enormous respect from Montevideo, Uruguay.

[@blahzay_]

Squarepusher is one guy. He briefly performed with a full live band around the time you saw him live.

[@marcelo_monteverde]

It's one but it sounds like many. In Sonar Sao Paulo May 2012 I played the solo, I didn't play the bass either, but I didn't care, I was just too excited to see that there was a human behind that project.@@blahzay_

Just coming out of anesthesia after minor surgery, and this is perfect. It's like my own personal rave.

You were one of the 2 artists that finally made me start thinking that perhaps electronic music wasn't just terrible synthetic garbage, way back in '99. Great to see you're still pushing envelopes (and squares).

I got the chance to see him in 2016 at Day for Night. That shit blew my mind, him and Aphex. This new release is exactly what I needed to hear today!

[@SmokeyMcPotProductions]

Dude! I was there. It was such an amazing night. I love during the build up of a song during RDJ’s set and right as the drop hit it started raining and everyone went batshit crazy and danced even harder. His first set in YEARS… and it was here at D4N?! So random. I love that Squarepusher had the Ufabulum aesthetic going on with that sick mirror helmet and the TV static raising up all around him. Shame the guy running the D4N festival turned out to be a douchebag… it was an amazing couple years while it lasted, every line up was sick in its own way.
