It's best to expect the unexpected from our latest Electronic Sound cover star, the tirelessly innovative Tom Jenkinson, better known as SQUAREPUSHER.
Starting out on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label before moving to Warp in 1997, Squarepusher has crafted some amazing records over the last 30 years, each of them a radical sonic adventure. Our exclusive interview with Jenkinson focuses on his startling new album 'Kammerkonzert', a one-man chamber opus embracing ambient, psychedelic, jazz and avant-garde sounds. It's just the kind of left-field intent we want to hear from our electronic visionaries. There's plenty of outrageous virtuoso bass playing along the way – as always with Jenkinson's music – but the baroque feel places ‘Kammerkonzert’ somewhere totally different within the Squarepusher oeuvre.
Looking beyond the cover feature, our other interviews include one-time Ultravox frontman MIDGE URE talking about his first solo release for more than a decade and long-time Heaven 17 vocalist GLENN GREGORY discussing his influences. We also have mercurial producer LORAINE JAMES, eminent turntablist DJ SHADOW and electro-shoegazers SEEFEEL, plus techno don Alan Oldham turning to electro-punk as THE BLACK WARHOLS and the cosmic vibes of DANALOGUE from The Comet Is Coming. All of which is a reminder that most electronic artists don't stand still for long. And that's exactly as it should be.
