Squarepusher
Squarepusher is the performing pseudonym of Tom Jenkinson, an English electronic music artist signed to Warp Records. He specialises in the electronic music genres of drum and bass and acid, with a significant jazz and musique concrète influence. Jenkinson was born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1975 and was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School. Jenkinson performs live, playing with a fretless or fretted bass guitar, a laptop, piano, and other hardware.
He has appeared twice on BBC Radio 1's The Breezeblock show. He is the brother of fellow musician Andy Jenkinson, who is also known as Ceephax Acid Crew.
The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
How Squarepusher moved
Genre belongs to the record, not to the artist. Every album’s Groove is shared out across the genres it actually is — by how the raters tagged it — so nobody is 100% one thing. Stack that by decade and a career draws itself.
