Tom Jenkinson (better known as Squarepusher) is an English electronic music artist and co-founder of the Spymania label (currently on indefinite hiatus).The trait that sets him apart from many other electronic musicians is his use of non-electronic instruments in his music alongside electronic ones, most notably the bass guitar.One of his main musical influences is electronic contemporary Aphex Twin, who directly inspired some of his earliest tracks and with whom he later struck a friendship that resulted in the release of Tom's first album Feed Me Weird Things on James' label Rephlex.Ever since then, he has continued releasing records on the Warp label that experiment with and mix together multiple musical genres to create new and intriguing compositions. From 2010 onward he has also been working with his own band, Shobaleader One.His younger brother Andy Jenkinson is also a musician, better known as Ceephax Acid Crew. | |

Minimalistic Cover Art: The cover of Do You Know Squarepusher consists solely of a black and white visual of a white square spouting from the corner of another square with the album title in the bottom right corner. The Ufabulum (special edition) cover is just white circles arranged in a grid on a pure black background. | |

Miniscule Rocking: While there aren't as many as his Epic Rocking tracks, there are quite a few songs on the shorter side, most notably the 20 second "Tesko" from Selection Sixteen. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| Squarepusher (Music) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: He's known for blurring the lines between electronic and acoustic music, but Music Is Rotted One Note crosses over completely into jazz, and Solo Electric Bass 1 is an album of nothing but bass solos. All Night Chroma is an album of pipe organ compositions (performed by James McVinnie), and so far outside his usual that it was released under Tom Jenkinson's real name rather than the Squarepusher moniker. | |

Spoken Word in Music | |
| Squarepusher (Music) / int_8c00118f | comment |
Spoken Word in Music: "Come On My Selector" has two famous examples: the song's frantic drum-and-bass solo grinding to a halt for a man to say "I'M THE FUCKING DADDY!", and the song's ending with a sample of someone saying "Yeah, yeah, it's alright, mate, yeah, sounds a bit like Goldie." | |

Word Salad Title: Some song titles are real words in seemingly nonsensical arrangements, like "Chin Hippy" or "Mind Rubbers". Other song titles seem to be in a made-up alien language, like "Anirog D9", "Drax 2", or any of the songs from Damogen Furies ("Baltang Ort"? "D Frozent Aac"?). | |

Augmented Reality: In the "Terminal Slam" music video a woman puts on glasses, and info text boxes appear next to all the people, cars, and advertisements around her. Then they visually glitch and distort in time with the music, growing more intense as the song picks up. At the end, the woman takes off the AR glasses—but the glitches remain, and spread to her as well. | |

Hidden Track: Several editions of Selection Sixteen include an entire hidden EP: all four tracks from Anti-Greylord Protection Scheme Prelude are tacked on the end, but not listed anywhere in the liner notes. The "My Red Hot Car" single ends with two different hidden tracks depending on the format. On CD, its final track contains an ambient piece after 23 minutes of silence. On vinyl, a percussion-less version of the last song "I Wish You Obelisk" is behind a silent, locked groove. | |
