Damogen Furies

Released in 2015, Damogen Furies represents a pivotal moment in Tom Jenkinson's career where he moved away from live bass performance toward a purely software-based workflow. Utilizing a custom-built software environment, Jenkinson sought to eliminate the latency between his musical ideas and their execution. The result is one of the most aggressive and rhythmically dense entries in the Squarepusher catalog. While earlier works like 'Feed Me Weird Things' leaned into the interplay between jazz and jungle, this album is firmly rooted in a futuristic, 'hardcore' electronic aesthetic. Critics noted its return to the high-energy breakbeat manipulation of his 90s output but filtered through a much harsher, modern digital lens. It stands as a technical manifesto against the softening of electronic music, prioritizing raw power and algorithmic complexity over traditional song structures.
