A rare 1994 album by Squarepusher is being reissued by Warp Records.
Stereotype is the earliest known full-length release by the IDM artist, real name Tom Jenkinson, and was made and originally put out while he was operating under the pseudonym from which the album took its name. In contrast to the rhythmically complex music that followed it in his discography, Stereotype‘s six tracks are influenced by dance floor-ready music heard on pirate radio and at raves.
The reissue marks the first time that the album has been made available on CD and digitally, while the vinyl release has been cut as a 2xLP – the original vinyl edition crammed almost an hour of music onto one single 12-inch record.
Jenkinson’s first album as Squarepusher, Feed Me Weird Things, was recorded at around the same time as Stereotype, but ultimately saw release via Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label two years later in 1996.
Listen to ‘O’Brien’ from Stereotype below.
Warp Records will release Stereotype on October 24, 2025.
