Hi!
First I would like to say that I'm a HUGE Squarepusher fan. Since I fall in
love with Amon Tobin's Bricolage album, I started a quest to find out other
artist that were pushing drum n bass to its limit (streching it's boundaries
and blending it with other genres). The sound that I was looking for was
"skidzophrenic", broken, drum n bass that somes likes to call "Drill n
Bass". I didn't took a while to find out some of the key artist of the
genre (if somes agree on that definition).
All this to say that if its the "drill n bass" aspect of Squarepusher that
you enjoy here are some artists that have a sound that is somewhere near
this type of thing:
- Amon Tobin
- Animals On Wheels (first album "Designs and Mistakes", now more into idm
with less skizophrenic drum n bass madness)
- Clifford Gilberto (more jazzy, less broken)
- Aphex Twin
If it's the weirdness and the brokenness aspect of Squarepusher that you
enjoy, I would confess that I'm still looking for that and it's nearly a
full time job ;-). But some day, I came to Venetian Snares... Oh my lord,
this guy is wicked! I would say, and that's a very personnal and "not
enough informed" opinion, that I've not found yet any other artist that
satify my thirst for "broken-skidzo-experimental-drum n bass sound" like
those 2 artists:
- Squarepusher
- Venetian Snares
If you have not yet listened to Venetian Snares, I mandate you to do so,
I'll garante your statisfaction ;-). Go to
http://www.planet-mu.com and
have some sample of both:
VSNARES - 237 0894
VENETIAN SNARES - HIGGINS ULTRA LOW TRACK GLUE FUNK HITS 1972 - 2006
Hope that other people from the IDM list can help both of us in our "quest"
for experimental drum n bass "a la" Squarepusher...
