Electronic music luminary Squarepusher has joined the lineup for two incredible upcoming concerts at Brooklyn Steel presented by Festival of Disruption in partnership with Bowery Presents, with net proceeds benefitting theDavid Lynch Foundation's work bringing Transcendental Meditation to people suffering from post-traumatic stress.

In his first New York appearance under the Squarepusher name in many years, Tom Jenkinson will on May 17 perform a rare DJ set incorporating new and unreleased material, along with other favorite tracks from his archive. The performance will be accompanied by the artist's signature visual display.
