Plastiq Phantom is one of those artists that would fit in nicely in the Rephlex and Warp rosters. His songs feature the chaos of Braindance, with an obvious likeness to artists like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. Like Aphex Twin, he experiments with classical music but more in-depth. He blends his tracks with confidence, going from the soothing, classically influenced, "Select Imputor?," to the spurting beat-fest of "Kicking Mister Bubbles." His songs tend to build to a climax that never arrives, leaving you waiting for more.
