>bussin down< is the first planet mu single from chrissy murderbot, who comes with a style inspired by his chosen city of chicagos juke and footwork scenes. he playfully mixes in elements of other styles of music he loves, such as rnb and dancehall, to create lively mutations with a warm hearted mass appeal that comfortably straddles genres. >bussin down< features chicago footwork supremo dj spinn over some tasty footwork tracks featuring spinns instructional lyrics, over some high speed jazz funk and cracking claps and klaviers. next track >braaain< is a unique amalgam of footwork with the classic early digital sleng teng bassline. the blend works fantastically, as chrissy slides the originals vocal in and out of the mix in a dub style. on the b-side atki2 takes album track >the vibe is so right< featuring vocals from mc zulu and runs it through a lush treatment that mixes detroit washes with tight, laidback, rolling funky house drums, to instant classic effect. on b2, chicago footwork pioneers djs rashad and spinn send the originals vocal into a whirl of complex delays and layered loops over cold drums and hard techno stabs. just the faintest taste of what is in store on the m-bots incredible >womens studies< album due soon on planet mu.

san francisco-based producer antiserum steps up for dub police with two unique collaborations, featuring local producers ill-esha and 12th planet respectively. his music is a masterfully crafted fusion of influences that results in a sound entirely his own, balancing light against dark and colour against pure bass pressure. showcasing a deft musicality as well as an unrivalled talent for system shaking productions, antiserum is taking the scene by storm. releases on narco.hz, s.c.u.m and argon amongst others have already propelled him to the forefront of the rapidly growing american dubstep scene, with plenty more still to come. on the a side, he is joined by ill-esha on >zephyr<, a sick g-funk inflected roller. skittering hi-hats and tough drums lay the foundations on this one, with the deep, smooth bass sweeping underneath. the vibrant synths weave in and out of each other with ease, swimming around the mix and swelling expansively through the speakers. on the flip he teams up with 12th planet on the massive >purple & gold<. the g-funk influences continue to flow through this track, pinned down by a hard bassline and taut drums. the shimmering synths sliding over the top of the percussion and off into the atmosphere give the track an epic stop-in-your-tracks effect.

aux 88 & dynamik bass system return with an epic four tracker that gravitates towards the sphere of techno bass just like the planetary rings of meteorite around saturn! if the music, encompassing a vast spectrum of infl uences from west coast to miami bass, is composed by thomas werner aka dynamik bass system, sharped vocals and lyrics are performed by tom tom and k1 aka tommy hamilton & keith tucker of fame aux 88

in 2011 carl craigs planet-e imprint turns 20. to celebrate, as well as a world-wide label tour starting in march 2011, craig is releasing a best of planet-e compilation – entitled 20 f@#&ing years - we aint dead yet (released vinyl in june), and releasing a monthly remix release from the planet-e back catalogue, where friends of the label choose their favourite planet-e release and add their take on it.

a two tracker of freshness from boxcutter, aka barry lynn, a producer who was taking chances - constantly mutating his dubstep based music, way before people started talking about post-dubstep. this single precedes his new album >the dissolve<, due out in april.

>the face of the planet< is the opening track and first single of the subs freshly squeezed full album decontrol that will be released on lektroluv end of march. the subs give you an anthem. a hymn. some people will recognize this track from the notorious subs live shows, but be prepared for a new version that sounds fresh like a happy polar bear. optimistic yet melancholic. old but new. punchy and sexy. the new subs have arrived!
accompanied by banging remixes by style of eye, tai & gtronic this makes an amazing package.
plays by crookers, steve aoki, dr. lektroluv, don rimini, proxy, nt89, hey today, dj manaia, mixhell etc ...

so … the story goes something like this: being inspired one day by 69 >desire<, vince decided to create an interpretation of it using his own unique sound. the track was done very quickly as a gimmick to send to carl craig as a mark of respect for his own track, now the track has been signed by carl for planet e and the world will now hear that very 12 minute piano and string filled beatless gimmick that is proving to be vinces most musical piece to date. its epic stuff. flipmode with >qualia< which takes off where vinces fcom material left off. deep driving hypnotic dancefloor material with an orchestra thrown in for good measure.

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.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

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.

big with: ben klock, loco dice, adam beyer, d julz, shlomi aber, tiefschwarz, karotte, laurent garnier, mihalis safras, pig and dan, carlo lio , okain

psycatron are made up of bbc radio dj and producer paul hamill and superproducer dee lievense who has worked for every label under the sun from nrk to plastic city. last year proved to be a calendar full of landmarks as they pushed to the next level with a string of high profile productions being released on some of the world s most respected labels. in addition receiving well deserved props from some of the biggest names in the business. right now we bring you yet another pumping and jumping hit from the amazing irish duo, song titled... she is music. it was destiny for this release to be presented to you by detroit based label planet e. during production of she is music, psycatron had been on the look out for a great vocalist to work with. it just so happens while flicking through their record collection when as if on accidental purpose a dog-eared 12 inch of visions of you appeared and the penny dropped. right there it was evident that blake baxter is the one. blake is respected as genuine firstwave motor city. its an honor to have him on this record.

the follow up by this mysterious artist to the cult hit >first step<, that got big support from unexpected places. dark and twisted jakking acid for basements...

marco bernardi marks his second outing on the dirty planet imprint with a 4 track ep bursting with emotion and originality. >i feel the lies< has a more laid back approach with deep and trippy grooves and evolving acidy stabs which are complimented with the unassuming and neatly placed vocal of detroit legend and aux88 founder keith tucker, making it one of those truly >special< tracks. second track >giro< (exium remix) is directed more towards the harder techno fans keeping the arrangement simple and the kick big and bold, this excellent remix has seen early support from surgeon with him choosing to feature it on the recently released fabric53 mix cd. flipping the record over sees two tracks exploring different sounds and moods. >msry< builds pace surrounded by an array of atmosphere, hissing percussion and lush detroit sounding synths where as killer track >giro< is a raw, off beat, electro monster laced with acid sequences and dirty bass.

produced by maurice joshua feat.liquid soul

after appearing on the excellent tama sumo panomrama bar mix cd this detroit band project makes their debut on planet e with this nice melodic yet ruff house/ techno hybrid.

the detroit duo known as reference focuses on the soul of electronic music, not the hype, staying true while working to promote the expression of underground music and dance culture. luke hess is a name synonymous with a new wave of detroit techno producers, but his roots go deeper than that. his continued dedication to musicianship and his natural talent as a dj have allowed him to release music on some of the most respected labels in the genre, and play some of the most prestigious clubs in the world. brian kage is the founder of the record label beretta music. along with a countless number of successful releases, brian s experience as a producer, dj, and label head has helped catapult the careers of some of today s brightest and best artists in the dance music community.

catcalling from the depths of a city seen from the outside as crumbling, sonic grooves carve a path to the soulful detroit duo known simply as the oliverwho factory. first noticed across the primitive music sharing plateaus of a decade past, the oliverwho factory quickly gained notoriety overseas with a glasgow based distribution, and a keen sense of product importance, releasing rich, mood-driven tracks on vinyl, inspired by and resonating the roots of rock, pop, jazz, and r&b. earth near-silently stumbles with the distinct yet mysterious, funk laden blend of house and techno that oliverwho and shonie c. so naturally provide. like stepping into dreamscapes of unknown desire, the obscure flavor of owf s tunes keeps unconventional beauty and otherworldly adventure at the forefront of this duo s detroit-based soundboard.

vol.2 with remixes from robag wruhme, reboot, martinez !! hailing from berlin norman weber and marco resmann released an album in autumn 2009 that can be easily called a success. this is why there were no problems at all to find an illustrious circle of remixers. jena-based robag wruhme already contributed one remix to matthias tanzmanns >bulldozer< in 2006. the old partnership was now revived and robag wruhme was asked for a reinterpretation of another moon harbour track. his version of >mr. jack< captivates you with its mix of funk and darkness and has an overwhelming effect on the dance floor

dance into the night... (100% cotton)

2005 classic!

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

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.

ultraphat deep and hypnotic tech groover !!!

from the studio of scott grooves... modified suede... music that you can feel. great selection of basic house tracks in the vein of his recent scott grooves release on clone (coco brown). this is a special tribute to clean simple rhythm tracks and scott grooves shows that being one of the first techno musicians on the planet doesnt have to mean that the passion for pure dance music has to disappear after so many years in the music bizz. excellent collection of tracks that lean towards classic house music, but with that fresh simple approach of many of the new school house producers! very much recommended!

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.

essential loop inferno !!!!

2009 has seen a slew of new detroit producers in what is turning out to be a stunning year of activity for the citys dance music. as the area experiences another test of its collective mettle, these musicians have emerged with some fresh insights. its detroits new wave, and its happening at a time when everyone wants to know whats really going on in the 313. as always planet e is on this wave with monty luke. following up releases on claude von strokes mothership music label, luke transplanted from california to detroit, shunning grace for grit and delivers his first offering for planet e, >art, love & war.< the labels first release since the 69 box set, >art, love & war< matches deep, stark piano stabs with sharp expansive drum hits, its upfront, its beat-driven, its for the dancefloor. the fantastic carl craig remix on the flip throws jagged edges of the original around in unexpected ways, its the first c2 remix on planet e since his epic remake of martin buttrichs >stoned autopilot<

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.

vol.3: house party 86. 86 house party killer loops from the sensational wunderwaffe series! limited vinyl only release! almost 100 horny techno, tech-house and breakz loops by the masters westbam & klaus jankuhn (aka members of mayday). mega dj tool ...

after spending 2008 ceaselessly bringing the party to festivals, concert halls, tv studios and clubs, gathering a host of awards and chart positions along the way, shantel and his mighty bucovina club orkestar are back, batteries fully recharged and ready to tell the world about a new and exciting discovery in the solar system of pop:planet paprika! last years debut album disko partizani, with its anthemic hit title track and follow up smash disko boy, saw the foundations laid for a pioneering brand of totally borderless european pop music.
