Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson makes manic, schizoid experimental drum 'n' bass with a heavv progressive jazz influence and a lean toward pushing the cliches of the genre out of the proverbial window. Rising from the near-total obscurity to drum 'n' bass cause celebrity in the space of a couple months, Jenkinson released only a pair of EPs and a DJ Food remix for the latters Refried Food series before securing EP and LP release plans with three different labels. His first full-length work, Feed Me Weird Things (on Richard "Aphex Twin" James' Rephlex label), was a dizzying, quixotic blend of superfast jungle breaks with Aphex-style synth textures, goofy, offbeat melodies, and instrumental arrangments (Jenkinson samples his own playing for his tracks) that recall vaguely jazz fusion pioneers such as Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report. A skilled bassist and multi-instrumentalist, Jenkinson's fretless accompaniment is a staple of his music and one of the more obvious affiliations with jazz (although his formal arrangements are often as jazz-derived as his playing).
