We're pleased to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

The original 'Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F' and now we have Ninja Tune's insanely good producer 'The Bug' on remix duties.


"Pure, physical heaviness - that’s what I wanted with the Squares and Triangles remix, and that’s why I was so excited that The Bug agreed to take on the track. It was a deep, dark track already but he's grabbed it and submerged it down into the abyss in a way that only he can. I’ve been a big fan ever since London Zoo, and I love all of his other projects, so it’s an honour to have him jump on board." ~ On Man


"What attracted me to remixing 'Squares & Triangles' was the sense of mystery. I had never heard of the artist On Man, nor the MC F-M-M-F, and so i had no preconceptions nor obstacles. I loved the fact the vocals provided more questions than answers. And as a fellow freak, in a time where so much music is made to fit blandly into a conformist box, I totally admired the fact this song existed in its own, uncommercial, non-aligned zone.
I just knew as soon as i heard the original, i instantly dug the ice-cold mood and felt I wanted to make it both heavier and deeper simultaneously." ~ The Bug


"F-M-M-F's twisted verbals were hyper-tense and psychotic, so the challenge was to try and intensify the deadly narrative of the lyrics still further... So i opted for max brutality, absolute minimalism, and a relentless groove to carry the crushing weight and add to the sense of danger and drama." ~ The Bug 
lyrics
You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?


You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle
