squarepusher RDJ DJ's "Fat Controller" (Harn Normal Daddy) @ WHP

Its such a great track that doesn't get enough love so its fantastic to hear Aphex Twin still play old school Squarepusher in a set and twist it up....find it in the Aphex forum - played early on too

Yeah, one of my favourite Squarepusher tracks as well... there was an unofficial video for it featuring boxers...

What other SP tracks has he DJ'd? Other than the Rome/Warp20 tracks that is.

I don't like Fat Controller, too much media exposure ruined the track for me.

Over here every surf clip or skate they would usually put Fat Controller as background music, there was also a video-game show that used it as end credits and I think MTV may have used it for some promos.

The better Fat Controller:

This track is so good, sounds almost to me like Squarepusher doing Aphex style drums.

Figured it wasn't worth starting a whole new thread for, but check this (At 1:05):

Don't ask how I ended up watching Thomas the Tank Engine on YouTube haha. But this could possibly be where the title comes from?

I believe the song predates Thomas The Tank Engine.

Also, the video I mentioned:

Actually, the Fat Controller predates Squarepusher! I forgot TTTE goes all the way back to 1984!

Fat Controller seems to be a slang term for a railway controller/boss.

Ah, from Wikipedia: "Fat Controller" is the name of Frostwave's 16-step analogue sequencer midi cv produced by Paul Perry.

would love to know what drums were chopped on the og version as they sound really live and bitchin' and basically never got used again on any of tom's tracks

Aren't the drums just chopped samples of tower of power's 'squib cakes' in both the original and the remix?

I had always assumed it came from Thomas The Tank Engine.
