Squarepusher – Dark Steering

[wide][/wide] Discover the new music video for Squarepusher‘s Dark Steering, taken from forthcoming album Ufabulum, which is due out May 14th.

Squarepusher is the digital pioneer’s return to the forefront of helmeted electronic musicians, though his acid music blacksmith look faces tough competition from Daft Punk’s much-revered electro fireman’s helmet… This long track is an epic and complex piece that lets squelching, lower-than-low bass and furious drums that seem to parry off one another.

Here’s what Squarepusher has to say about Dark Steering:
“For a while I had apocalyptic nightmares about trails of nuclear missiles in the night sky. So I aimed to recreate that strange combination of exhilaration, terror and sadness both visually and emotionally through this piece. It led to the idea of a spacecraft leaving earth at vast speed to escape, but oddly the music also made me think of it flying through a library. So I generated the visual aspect such that, as the piece progresses, it seems as if the viewer is ever accelerating through massive corridors of books.”
