Squarepusher Launches Shobaleader One

New release confirmed

Seminal electronic producer Squarepusher is set to release an album with new project Shobaleader One.

Real name Tom Jenkinson, Squarepusher has led one of the most singular careers in electronic music. Using a variety of pseudonyms, the producer has matched IDM with frenetic drum ‘n’ bass.

Now Squarepusher has confirmed a new project. A press release this afternoon (September 2nd) confirmed the existence of Shobaleader One, a new group featuring the hugely influential producer.

A new release titled ‘d’Emonstration’ is set to appear on October 18th. Released through Warp Records, the forthcoming mini-album will apparently contain nine tracks although little solid information is available.

Typically reclusive, Squarepusher has refused to divulge much about the project which is available for pre-order to Bleep now.

The project represents a return to Warp for the producer. Earlier this year Squarepusher crafted a new track which he decided would be better served by releasing it through French label Ed Banger.

The one off track is set to be released shortly, with previews available via Ed Banger’s Soundcloud page.
