Soundcrash are proud to present the electronic music innovator that is Squarepusher. Beginning his sonic experiments in 1994 Squarepusher constantly strives to push the boundaries and limits of electronic music and with the release of “Ufabulum” In 2012 his influence within today’s global music electronic scene is as vital as ever. For his first headline ‘Ufabulum’ album show in London, Squarepusher will take over the historic music hall Hackney Empire with his largest ever light-show to date! This is a unique opportunity to witness one of electronic music’s pioneers in an extraordinary setting.
In May 2012 Squarepusher unleashed his latest musical venture ‘Ufabulum’, an album of music generated purely from digital programming. For the ‘Ufabulum’ project Squarepusher worked simultaneously on the sonic and visual aspects, creating an experience that both tantalises and fascinates: image and sound are created live and interplay in unpredictable ways for a full assault of the senses.
Never one to slouch when it comes to live performances, ‘Ufabulum’ live finds Squarepusher regenerated, harking back to acid techno roots and pushing into unchartered territories. Not for the faint-hearted, the Hackney Empire show is set to challenge and inspire the audience in equal measure. This is surely one of the must see shows in the electronic music calendar this year.
