don mike paradinas, one of the most influential and respected artist of our time unleashing archives from the golden era. previously unreleased stuff selected by af and mike... so there s no need to say what you have to do. must.

q-ziqs new ep is a thing of joy and hazy childhood memories. the music of the future as it felt in the early eighties, filtered through the rhythmic shapes of more modern dance music innovations

bar the occasional remix, and of course the formation of heterotic with his wife lara rix-martin, who recently released their debut lp love and devotion, mike paradinas µ-ziq solo project has been quiet for a while. however, with xtep, he makes a welcome return from hiatus and gives us a gentle taster for a forthcoming brand new µ-ziq album due this summer.

µ-ziq wraps up 2022 with an album of new material.

>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.

interesting mix of ambient thru to crunched up industrial percussive numbers. took me a while to appreciate it as its definately challenging stuff! the copy i purchased in 1994 has the track >paco< instead of >crosstown traffic<.

an eccentric set of tracks from friends and family of the kuboraum collective.

2x12 inch vinyl with full cover print. incl remixes by marcel dettmann, dauwd, cassy and more. decks tip!

heavy weight furthur electronix artists compilation to celebrate the birth of label owner anil’s daughter vera. limited copies

20th anniversary release of the 1999 debut album from múm, a truly defining piece of modern electronica. includes the remastered original album plus reworks and remixes on triple vinyl, all housed in a gatefold sleeve.

channeling that classic playful braindance feel of early afx, u-ziq and fellow acid-connoissuer luke vibert, pearl river sound (real name roberto semeraro) has quietly builded up his own profile in the last 5 years with releases on r&s recordss own meda fury, further records, seagrave and x-kalay. not another average idm/breakbeat throwback tough: here prs delivers train with no name, a 6-tracker of razor-like rephlexian science, taking inspiration from his ambivalent work with laptop & old hardware machines, yet, the magic lays down in arrangements and spaces, builded around jacking bassline swings and detuned, lush pads all melted together in powerful u-turn rhythms and genius sampling, from the moody opener elek41 to the demented vocals of cccc2 and mr continue or the straight-up acid of mono sequencer bass. occasional walls of white noise and distorted tones emerge in train 2, possibly his most tense track ever but also one that reveals new sonic solutions for a forthcoming full length that should see the light anytime next year on the label. sharing the same sensibility of fellow roman institutions like lory d or leo anibaldi to keep the acid legacy of the city alive, mixed up is proud to start a new beginning with this release. full sleeved and cut at 45.

brainbox shows the open-minded and versatile character of the belgian de:tuned label and explores the more cerebral output within the full spectrum of electronic music.
the album compilation features 25 tracks of both new and previously unreleased material, offering a widely eclectic mix of ambient, techno, idm, broken beat and drum & bass from a range of well-respected and established artists who ve pushed the musical envelope and have inspired a whole generation of music enthusiasts. the tracks have been mastered by matt colton at alchemy mastering to ensure the highest playback quality.
in addition to the music, de:tuned has worked with designer kevin foakes from openmind (aka strictly kev, dj food from ninja tune) who has translated the diverse musical theme of the album into stunning graphic artwork.
brainbox will be available as a limited edition (300 copies worldwide) numbered box set consisting of 6 heavy weight 180 gr records housed in individually printed inner sleeves. the vinyl box includes a download card and sticker.
de:tuned would like to thank all the artists for their contributions and support. stay tuned!

nach zwei alben auf dem britischen label planet mu (heimat von künstlern wie mu-ziq und venetian snares) schließen sich solar bears nun sunday best an. als große fans von david lynch wurden sie auf das label aufmerksam. “advancement” hat alles, was etwa boards of canada-fans glücklich machen sollte. psychedelische soundscapes gekoppelt an modernste elektronik, flirrende ambient-passagen genauso wie knackige beats als kontra-punkt. wurde schon der vorgänger “supermigration” mit reichlich lob bedacht, führt “advancement” das konzept nun weiter. die beiden musiker david kowalski und rian trench aus dublin haben sich abermals mit dem amerikanischen film-regisseur micheal robinson zusammengetan, der das werk mit einer serie von video-clips im netz begleitet. so finden die sowieso soundtrack-geeigneten stücke eine großartige visuelle entsprechung.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

the vinyl factory is proud to present an 18-track vinyl edition of µ20, spread across three 12inch records. for a label thats existed in an orbit of its own, on very independent terms, its remarkable that planet mu has survived 20 years. pushing buttons from idm and breakcore to dubstep and grime, and lately footwork, mike paradinas’ (µ-zip) label has a strong history of joining the dots betweens genres by supporting idiosyncratic artists from label stalwart venetian snares to kuedo, machinedrum, boxcutter, vexd, falty dl, luke vibert, ital, jlin and mr. mitch to name just a few. µ20 is a living document of that history. a colourful and adventurous ride across the roster, the compilation features contributions from the current decade as well as some of the old guard, dipping back to the late nineties and early 2000s for a range of noisier, knottier track

drew lustman aka faltydl meldet sich mit neuer 8-track ep zurück, die den mysteriösen und unaussprechlichen titel -///iii- trägt. remixe kommen u.a. vom planet mu-boss mike paradinas aka u-ziq, dem beat-bastler brrd (blueberry records) und dem aus la operierenden newcomer e+e. pressung auf farbigem vinyl, download-code inklusive.

akurat wurde der jubiläumssampler bleep10 kompiliert, der diverse facetten zeitgenössischer elektronischer musik streift. mit dabei sind kompakts wolfgang voigt mit seinem gas-projekt, starke neuproduktionen von autechre, m-ziq und dabrye, sowie farbenreiche electronica von lone und machinedrum. und während oneohtrix point never dem hörer einen ambienten ruhemoment gewährt, steuern shackleton, untold und modeselektor explosives dancefloormaterial bei

heterotic are a group formed from husband and wife production team mike paradinas and lara rix-martin. mike is the boss and founder of planet mu, and a celebrated producer in his own right as µ-ziq.
their debut release is a composite of four striking instrumental tracks and four unique collaborations with gravenhurst, the musical pen-name of nick talbot who is known for his dark, folk tinged singer songwriting for warp records. they were brought together by a mutual friend who sensed potential in the pairing.

yo la tengo have worked with a huge variety of artists from different genres over the years. in 1997 they released the >autumn sweaters remix< ep, featuring remixes from tortoise, kevin shields and ?-ziq. in 1999, they released the >danelectro remixes<, with remixes by kit clayton and nobekazu takemura. during the early 2000s, the band performed with members of legendary free jazz combo other dimensions in music as well as members of the sun ra arkestra. in 2010, the band presents an ep of remixes of >here to fall<, the lead track from last years >popular songs<, by de la soul, rjd2 and pete rock.

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.

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.

boxcutters work, due to its bass-led and rhythmically 2 step nature, is often categorised as dubstep, although in style and idiosyncracies has more in common with idm artists such as squarepusher and ? ziq. together with kinnego flux the belfast based band/ensemble. funk and soul music with electronics using instruments, vocals, computers and hardware synths and modules.

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,

dieses album ist von einer soundästhetik durchzogen, die mal heftig, mal verspielt, aber immer charmant verrückt das trommelfell killert..

debut album from 2005

a collaboration between aphex twin (richard d. james) and µÐziq (mike paradinas), mike & rich - Õexpert knob twiddlersÕ was made back in 1994. richard edited the tracks into shape later in 1996 with his new apple mac computer and it was released later that year on rephlex, the label he co-owned and which released the first two albums by µ-ziq. this new reissued version has been carefully cleaned up, re-edited and remastered from the original dat tapes, put into a more fitting order and, more excitingly, seven new bonus tracks and alternative versions have also been added. the album was recorded over a few days during the 1994 world cup, back when richard lived in a big shared flat in stoke newington. richard had tried to collaborate with a few other likeminded artists but something clicked when mike and rich worked together and the sessions have a unique feel, playful and at times actually drunk. these are fun experiments in the spirit of lighthearted moog pop and ripe 70s british tv themes, standing out from the po-faced electronica of the time with a garish glee. the record was made on what is now seen as pretty primitive gear - an atari, roland mks-80, memorymoog, roland r8 and a handful of samples on a casio fz-10m - but itÕs to their credit that it resonates well with the hardware workouts coming out today. there s a broadminded but sloppy funk to the record, even whistling, singing and harpsichord in reg and wonky beat pile-ons in jelly fish . there s latin piano and wheezy drunken techno in ÔvodkaÕ, or the sleepy spaced out ambience of Ôbu bu bu ba with its barely contained laughter which seems to reflect the absurdity. the new versions and bonus tracks are an absolute delight - from a trancier version of Ôvodka to the wonky bounce of Ôportamento gosh , the 3/4 dub of waltz, the banging door bass of brivert and muonds , the creepy seasick atmosphere of clissold bathroom and finishing with the strangely graceful and serious organ plodder . a generous and welcome return to the racks
