terror danjah is back on planet mu after last years >gremlinz< compilation reintroduced him to the world at large. since then, as well as planet mu, he has released a single on hyperdub, one on butterz with more to come.
well the gremlinz are back again on planet mu with this punchy 8 track double e.p. of experimental grime that showcases a breadth of new music, that swallows rnb and dubstep into terrors self made matrix.

the energetic >coconut coast< is an awesome example of whats coming from oriol, and he has bought some remixers along for the party too. faltydl brings the tempo down and gives the track a strange off key shuffling rub thats reminiscent of theo parrish at his oddest. mike paradinas in his jake slazenger guize, does a mix of >memories< thats almost funky house, mixed with big rubbery jazz chords and classy diva vocal samples. shortstuff takes >memories< and draws it into strange new shapes over stiff beats.

planet mu is really happy to present their new signing oriol to the world. his debut album >night and day< has the depth of musicality and subtlety of an artist who knows exactly what he wants, and its also the perfect summer album.

optimum is malcolm chen, a new producer from south east london. he has collaborated with ikonika recently but planet mu are very happy to be releasing his first solo 12 inch.
the lead track >max power< lives up to its name, mixing tight electro-soca drums with a barrage of ravey riffs that build up with strange transporting noises, creating an almost unbearable, driving intensity without ever having to reach for the wobbly bass or other cliches.

hailing from ireland, wicklow and dublin to be precise, solar bears are john kowalski and rian trench, the sole producers and musicians on the album >she was coloured in<. they met and formed at pulse sound engineering school, started recording and were swiftly picked up by planet mu. the album follows in the wake of expectation laid down by their recent >inner sunshine ep< and a series of remixes.

dj roc, known to his mother as clarence johnson, was born and raised on the southside of chicago better known as the low end. the crack in >crack capone< refers to his style of production. like an underground chemist, dj roc produces variant strains of chicago juke music, the crack referring to the synapse snapping, potentially ankle cracking manipulation of rhythms and the sampling, hijacking and ultra-rhythmic micro-editing of black american pops dominant forms into a style thats been developed and tested on the streets of chicago.

numan khan from manchester is a new artist for planet mu with an original musical style that mixes dubstep and grime influences with an idiosyncratic take on rhythm to great effect.
this four track ep showcases his styles from the a side with the lush melodic accordian and snes melodies of >race against time<, to the slower, disco influenced >photograph<.
the b side starts with >voodoo<, which combines grimey bass and strings with offbeat drums to odd, driving effect and finishes with >xx< which sounds like a long lost golden era 8-bit grime instrumental but with deft production tweaks and fx that keep it interesting and effective.

after appearances in numerous end-of-year charts, raffertie continues to meddle with the dna of uk dance music on two ready made anthems. the more ballistic side of rafferties oeuvre is shown on the blazing >7th dimension< with crushed house beats alloyed to swooping bass wobbles and head searing synths, while the oddly affecting >string theory< should only add to his fanbase with an impressive grasp of bassline dynamics and vintage uk rave atmospherics that doesnt sound like much out there.

nice price deal !!! bristol producer gemmy is one of a new generation of producers alongside joker and guido nicknamed the purple trinity and celebrated for their innovative sound.

planet mu is very pleased to have ikonika a.k.a. sara abdel-hamids first proper release on another label outside of hyperdub.
ikonika is mixmags new artist of the month on the october issue.
>smuck< has been given a home on the label alongside ikonikas remix of eero johannes for this 12 inch ... and what a pair they make.
>smuck< follows in the tradition of ikonika~rs sweet and sour, curdled sound, with ever changing off-key melodies and metal-like synth guitar lines over sweet chilled chords, the track takes her penchant for melodies that border on the atonal as far as it can go, like a sophisticated take on 8-bar grime.
her remix of eero johannes >we could be skweeeerooos< on the b-side simply switches up the tempo of the original, makes the rhythm nice and bouncy and tightens up the original adding some trademark bent melodies and a see-sawing bassline. the end result is a linear, melodic track that feels like its somewhere between wiley and aphex at their sweetest.

terror danjah isnt a household name, hes not as well known as wiley or dizzee rascal, but hes considered by the grime cognoscenti to be the best grime producer ever. originally part of the nasty crew and then aftershock, terror has released countless 12inchs and remixes as well as several mixtapes.

brackles (aka rob kemp)s duties as a regular warm up dj at the infamous london dubstep night fwd, as well as regular appearances on rinse fm have earned him a reputation as a skilled selector and man of good taste

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

planet mu release his newly finished debut album new folder. experimenting with off kilter micro house and druggy wonk, linas gives us a simple beat around which he flips deceptively simple synthline progressions which grow into monolithic riffs. at the crux of nu disco, dubstep and techno, and using local vocal talent, linas has a truly forward looking european sound.

nice price deal !!! first to step up to the challenge is boxcutter. belfasts barry lynn has an impressive discography including four albums on planet mu as well as releases on his own kinnego records and the hotflush label. remixed during the period of writing that led to his new release arecibo message, it has the same lush sound as that album.

gemmy hails from the hugely influential bristol bass scene. part of the purple trinity along with joker and guido, he already had a big release on the bristol-based punch drunk label and plays by the likes of pinch, joker and mary anne hobbs (radio 1) gemmys debut for planet mu is a bass heavy ride. with p-funk and grime influences, gemmy blends the dub and the step with fat portamento synth lines and computer game fx to great effect ensuring maximum dancefloor impact. supligen is a bass funk attack to the senses giving you a taste of what to expect from gemmys debut album (planet mu ziq230 due august 2009). bristolian synths and shuffle beats are sure to get the wonky heads bouncing. bt tower is another anthemic jump up wobbler with a full-on bass drop that will punish the limiters on any decent rig. watch your bass bins!

vinyl limited to 500 worldwide!!! r tracks gives you more than enough killer material to satisfy. soft gentle synths and warm pads bounce away over plucky tight beats whilst fast arpeggiated leads rush you through the various compositions. this is a must have album for fans of ceephax, boc, ziq etc.

nice discoey melodic minimal debut by linas strockis..

released as a little treat or a taster for her forthcoming album >acidsauna<, u-ziq and gigue offer four re-interpretations of 2006s electrobot /mind detergent 12inch. 303 acid, warped juno riffs, wobbly strings and fractured breaks dominate

planet mu celebrates its 200th release with a massive double album. released to coincide with our 10th birthday and titled simply 200, it is, as tradition dictates, a compilation. bringing together many of the last years classic releases such as darqwan and ceephax with exclusives from boxcutter, venetian snares, aµ-ziq, luke vibert, milanese, neil landstrumm, benga and many others,

>duntisbourne abbots...< is u-ziqs first new album for four years and first new material released since 2005. its a more reflective body of work compared to the whirlwind of chaos that was bilious paths, introspective and rather melancholic, u-ziq revisits his roots in the early 90s ambient techno scene pioneered by, among others, the black dog, aphex twin and himself.

luke viberts second album on planet mu brings together many strands of his work, drum and bass, trip-hop, breaks and acid. the album hangs together with the strands of acid, breakbeats, techno and disco at its heart, the reassuring hand of an old master triumphs again

canadas last step unleashes his debut album called simply last step. these tracks are all created using original analogue equipment like the roland 303, 606, 707 and jupiter etc. they do not know much about last step as he only communicates with me anonymously and via vocoder. all his royalties (if he ever makes a profit) are destined for the st. bernadettas synth hospital.
