***Jo Apps has been in our lives for years. She was the angelic voice provoking us, 'Keep jumping, you bastards!' on Venetian Snares' classic track 'Dance Like You're Selling Nails'. Then she graced Capitol K, playing bass for a year or two. Some fans know her as the sister of Patrick Wolf, but we wanted her solo material, for it is skillfully crafted, unique and simply breathtaking. So at long last here it is, the debut single from Jo Apps, former sound design student of the Guildhall School of Music and old skool Londontown electronica goddess. This will be the first in a long line of historic tweakage from the dear lady.

"Killers About" meanwhile sustains the paranoia of a dangerous chase scene with '70s electric piano riffs, '80s electro percussion, and a contemporary twisting bass line.

***Bizzy B's follow up to the 1993/94 volumes one and two on Whitehouse Records brings the old-skool sound of hardcore jungle into the new millennium.

"Darkside" and "Afraid Of The Dark" both use "Amen" and "Mentasm" to awesome effect-- the catchiness of the stabs and riffs just won't let go, and the breaks are propulsive. But this time the undertow of sub-bass catches listeners unaware.

Deep dub waters. Both tracks are being played by Andy C and Bailey. For "Merda Style 2004," Bizzy B pairs up with Equinox (Bassbin, Inperspective, Intasound), bringing the 1993 original up to date with tearing "Acid Rain"-style Amens and deep 808 bass kicks. Currently being rinsed. "Fire" is another deep, bass-y, pitched-down Amen killer with evil, distorted bass stabs that rip any system. Currently being rinsed. "Deep In My Soul" combines soulful female vocals with dub FX and the ubiquitous break; "Strength" has a more jump-up flavor, still retaining the old-skool feel with "Mentasm" and "Outlander" stabs. Currently being rinsed.

Bizzy B (Brain / Joker / Sub Base / Whitehouse) was there from day one playing the raves and on the radio (Centerforce, Fantasy, Kool FM, Conflict). He's been releasing records since 1991 and set up one of the most influential hardcore / jungle labels, Brain, which also released the debut material of Peshay, Zinc, and Marc Caro (Technical Itch), among others.

***Bizzy B continues his journey into the darkside with four brand new tracks and the fifth installment of his Science EP series. Lead track "Jah Works" devastates dancefloors with its sub-bass depth charges and savage amen, lightened up with a dose of sweet dub vocals before crashing back in with Bizzy's famous edits and some choice rave stabs. "Sound Test" surprises with a little Soca guitar riff, while "Flava" brings some G-funk synth into the equation. The closer, "Exceeding The Speed of Sound," beefs up the classic Bizzy sound to round out a nicely varied set.

Lead track "Creation" twists amen and mentasm together into an Escher-like contorted riff while an MC exhorts "When the crowd says rewind!" and "Bizzy B!" before it recedes into a dub interlude. The track "Deep, Dark and Nastie" is just that. "Bless This Sound," with Equinox and edits by blast-from-the-past T.D.K., features the heaviest amen ever created. Science EP Vol. 6 is rounded out with "2099 Dub," a reprise of "1099 Dub," originally rinsed on dub back in '94.

***A veteran of Planet Mu, Boxcutter (the Irish-born Barry Lynn) returns with his latest installment in album form, Arecibo Message. Since his debut single "Brood" was released on Hotflush in 2005, he has made waves in the dub scene. Boxcutter's continued support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs (of the BBC's Radio One) ensures a loyal following everywhere he plays.

The Arecibo message was beamed via frequency modulated radio waves into space at a ceremony to mark the remodeling of the Arecibo radio telescope on November 16th, 1974. The album of the same name is a space voyage, a musical journey through the galaxy. Arecibo Message collects a number of shorter, more condensed tracks, one of which, "A Familiar Sound," features electronic soul duo Kinnego Flux with

Brian Greene on vocals.

To give the album an organic texture, Boxcutter ditched the computer sequencing and instead employed analog synths, delays, and guitar pedals. Arecibo Message features more guitars and bass than his previous records, with influences ranging from Hendrix to two-step garage such as Wideboys-- a real trip of an album.

***Barry Lynn returns for album number two on Mu. Continuing his hugely successful trademark dubstep/electronica sound from the 2006 album Oneiric, Lynn ups the ante and Glyphic certainly delivers. From the opening title track, Boxcutter's totally unique sound excels. Floating pads and astral jazz samples sit above deep dub basses, with all manner of instruments thrown into the mix, resulting in a beautiful noise throughout. He pursues dubstep with "Bug Octet" and the dub inflected "J Dub," and break orientated electronica with "Kaleid" and "Fieldtrip." With the outstanding "Foxy" he blends deep bass, soulful organ and vocals with soaring pads and an infectious 2-Step Garage skippy break.

Boxcutter is an artist who pushes the dubstep sound to a new level while keeping the dub roots of the music firmly intact, injecting a truly unique flavour to everything he produces. Another huge album from Northern Ireland's biggest and best Dubstep producer.

***Guitarist and producer Barry Lynn (aka Boxcutter) became the talk of the dubstep scene in 2005 with the release of his astounding "Brood/Sunshine" single on London's taste-making dance label, Hot Flush. On his second release, Tauhid, Lynn continues to revolutionize the garage and breaks sound with a fresh mix of fractured breaks, Eastern inflections and a deep dub sensibility.

The title track is a micro-symphony of writhing bass, FX-laden guitars and blurry half-step rhythms that quickly devolve into pure breakbeat abstraction. Other tracks, like "Silver Birch Solstice," harken back to the two-step garage craze of a few years ago. With heavy rotation from influential DJs like Ras Kwame, One World and Breezeblock, Boxcutter comes into 2006 as one of the hottest dance artists around.

Although I don't claim to hear a huge amount of unreleased material... I do get to hear quite a few interesting things. Most of it is very good but nothing could quite prepare me for... Ulster-based Barry Lynn... Listening to "Brood," I was completely floored by the production levels and emotional intensity. I realized immediately that here was the real deal... a fully-formed talent who needed exposure immediately. --Gutterbreakz.com

***Brackles' duties as a regular warm-up DJ at the infamous London Dubstep Night FWD, as well his regular appearances on Rinse FM, have earned him a reputation as a skilled selector and man of good taste. Inspired by all the right stuff--Slimzee, Horsepower, Dilla, El-B, MJ Cole--Brackles (a.k.a. Rob Kemp) is probably the best DJ around right now. With a sound a million miles away from the current blokey, sludgy dubstep fare, this kid effortlessly incorporates funky, rolling grime, vintage two-step, and bassline into his energetic, elastic sets.

Following releases on Berkane Sol, Pollen, and Apple Pips, Brackles makes his debut appearance for Planet Mu with his 12-inch single. Silky smooth synthlines bob and weave around a rolling bass like the tide coming in. "Sutorita Faita" ("Street Fighter"), a collaboration with Shortstuff (a.k.a. Richard Attley), brings a tougher beat. With grimey bass and a lolloping rhythm, it's in the details that these boys shine.

Ceephax is Andy Jenkinson (from Chelmsford in Essex). He did wicked acid releases on EDMX's Breakin' and some more acid and ravey pieces on First Cask (the Belgian label) plus a recent album on Rephlex. The first track here is a sort of hardcore roller with trippy synths, dubby bass and an embarrassing interlude. 'Friend Track' is 'emo acid'. Again, quite trippy.

On the other side we have 'Time Tunnel': this one has what sounds like a 909 plus the Amen break (unmistakable), some 303 and is the possessor of a charming melody of neither the major nor minor persuasion. Castilian (last track) is one of those*IDM video game thingys that people will love. It builds up and up with chords and notes and shit into this massive hands in the air anthem. Enjoy!

***In 2007, Oris Jay's influence has never been more powerful. Over the last decade, his dark sound revolutionized the UK garage and breaks scenes and laid the foundations for 21st century dubstep. Tunes like "Said the Spider" and "Raisin' Kane" cemented his reputation as a garage master and creator of an influential sound all his own. This is the boy who wrote the book.

Following the revitalization of his label Texture last year, Jay has supplied Planet Mu with two hot tunes which have been supported on dub in recent months. "Maximum Reespek" has a melody that circles 'round your head and the heaviest of breaks, while the flip "Ghost Not Memory" revives the skippiness of 2-Step Garage with the added menacing bass of '07.

There are lovers of Jay's beats everywhere-- Mary Anne Hobbs and Plastician from BBC Radio 1; dubstep DJs Skream, Loefah, Distance, and Pinch; breaks boys Stanton Warriors, BLIM, Freq Nasty and Aquasky; broken beat kings Dego (4 Hero), Charlie Dark (Attica Blues) and Bugz in the Attic; 2-step names MJ Cole, Pay As U Go, and Heartless Crew; and more. He had a UK Top-40 hit with his tune "Trippin'," collaborated with everyone from Ms Dynamite to Rodney P, and has released records on labels including Polydor, Tectonic, EMI, Bingo, Storming Productions, and Hospital Records.

***The second album for Planet Mu by Greg Sanders a.k.a. Distance follows his hugely successful debut, My Demons (Album of the Year, Dubstep Forum Awards 2007), and shakes speakers with his continuing bass-heavy industrial sound.

In 2006, Distance was featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' renowned Radio One show along with six other artists who have gone on to shape the face of dubstep. With Repercussions, Distance is still a pioneering force within the sub-low bass movement, gigging regularly across Europe and the rest of the world, drawing massive crowds everywhere he plays.

Repercussions is a beast of an album. Heavy, chunky bass lines feature solidly, as well as moody, ambient soundscapes and sharp snares. Newfound industrial influences are also apparent. On closer inspection, Distance's love of metal is present, though not featured prominently. It is a clear influence on the heaviness and groove of the music, which remains sparse with time to breathe between beats-- a perfect blend.

The CD version of the album includes a second disc with all the releases from Distance's own label, Chestplate. It features his smash hits, "Victim Support" and "V," and more.

***Continuing Planet Mu's headlong journey into dubstep, the label presents DJ Distance's anthem "Traffic." Big on the dub scene for the last six months and getting heavy play from The Plastician, Hatcha, Mary Anne Hobbs and others, "Traffic" is based around a heavy metal guitar riff and grungy bass sounds, making it one of the most distinctive and recognizable tunes around. The flip, "Cyclops," is a halfstep loper with plently of space and a hollowed-out feel.

***The Doubtful Guest's debut album ushers in a new era of acid. Gone are the electro party jams, gone is the funky squiggle. This dark, suffocating stuff is full of nightmares and claustrophobic details that send shivers up one's spine. References include Coil, Marc Acardipane, Scott Brown, and Neophyte. Not afraid to show her classical upbringing (she trained as an opera singer) and jazz heritage (granddaughter of J.B. Floyd), Libby Floyd infuses the rave sound with doom and dread. Inducing panic on the dancefloor, cuts like the eleven-minute "Slaves" build into writhing acid anthems that ebb and flow like some viscous substance in your mind.

If you thought the Planet Mu offices were exclusively awash with testosterone, then The Doubtful Guest is here to subvert your notions, as Libby Floyd rattles into town on a train of electronic giddiness that will have you reaching for the vodka and Anadin.... Not quite as frenetic as you might expect, The Doubtful Guest is riddled with electronic potholes that jar the ears in a manner that is wholly welcome. --Boomkat

His debut EP on Planet Mu promises to be one of the hottest jungle releases of the year. "Acid Rain V.I.P. (Breakage Final Chapter Mix)" became one of the most sought-after tracks on the scene after it was promised to never be released commercially. Well, Planet Mu made them break that promise!

Date:

***Following releases on some of the most influential drum 'n' bass labels (Metalheadz, Bassbin, Breakin, Inperspective, and Intasounds), scene veteran Equinox is back on Planet Mu with more weighty jungle business. Born and raised in London, Marlon Sterling has been in the game longer than most dubstep kids have been alive (in other words, in his late '30s), always pursuing his purest view on the capital's bass sound.

"Vivid Dreams" is a track from the depths of his archive. Made in 1996 using the junglist's weapons of choice, the Amiga 1200 and the Akai S950 (ensuring that the bit-rate is low and the kicks and snares punchy), it stands up well to the test of time, showing that good music is always good music regardless of age. The track opens with plenty of lush jungle atmosphere that sounds deep and edgy and immediately recalls Nookie, Omni Trio, and DJ Dextrous.

On the flip, "Make You Flex" is a tearer from 1994, reminiscent of Remarc and Austin M. This was the era in which Sterling was still recording for Brain Records with Bizzy B. Ripped-up Amens gush over atmospheric pads and a folk-rave vocal drenched in reverb and delay.

***2005is druminibass masterpiece, Pro Agonist, announced Tim Exileis intention to stamp out generic dinib and bring more quirkiness to the electronic music scene. This abbreviated vinyl edition, featuring two brand-new exclusive tracks, delivers yet another blow to the status quo.

Initiated into the realms of the broken beat at the tender age of twelve, Exile discovered a path he loved so much that his age has more than doubled without one deviation from the route (which has embraced leading orchestras, directing choirs and composing scores for television).

Genre-transcending versatility has helped Exile earn a Masteris in electroacoustic composition, claim prizes in international competitions, and rustle up the kind of twisted druminibass that wipes the floor with punters and savvy journalists alike. With upcoming releases on labels including Cristian Vogelis experimental techno imprint Mosquito, jungle hellraisers Evol Intent, longtime supporters Beta Recordings and Ram offshoot Frequency, Exile shows no signs of slowing down in 2006.

***Not content to merely leave listeners open-jawed, Tim Exile has created a drum'n'bass masterpiece that brings in all his influences-- from electroacoustic composition to his own little choirboy voice. Pro Agonist defies categorization while leaving listeners completely fulfilled. Initiated into the realms of the broken beat at the tender age of 12 by a tape from a friend's older brother, Exile found a path he loved so much that his age has more than doubled without once deviating from the route (which embraces leading orchestras and choirs and composing title themes and scores for TV shows). Exile's genre-transcending versatility helped earn a Master's in electroacoustic composition, claim prizes in international competitions, and rustle up the kind of twisted drum'n'bass that has wiped the floor with punters and savvy journalists alike.

Eager to increase his dancefloor mastery, Exile has also collaborated with DJ and MC Temper D (Renegade Hardware, G2) to create addictive, pounding, relentless d'n'b, and worked with John B on many occasions, united in the quest to stamp out generic d'n'b and bring more quirkiness to the electronic scene. His King Shredda / Spanner In The WorX single on Ram/Frequency acquired two 5-star Single of the Month ratings in DJ and Knowledge magazines. His site-specific composition for the temporary exhibition Shhh! won a prestigious competition run by the V&A Museum in London. Labels ranging from Cristian Vogel's experimental techno imprint Mosquito, US edit jungle hellraisers Evol Intent, Exile's long-time home Beta Recordings and Ram offshoot Frequency all plan on releasing Exile titles in 2005.

***Sprouting like steroid bamboo from Tim Exileis hectic live calendar, this album is arguably the first ever rave megablast culled entirely from a live improvised performances. Exile has been achieving renown of late for inventing, manufacturing and programming a machine designed specifically to inspire improvised dance lunacy on stage. This gadget, along with Exileis hi-energy, provocative performance style, has created a high demand for Exileis live show.

Tim Exileis Nuisance Gabbaret Lounge follows last yearis high-note album Pro + Agonist which received showers of praise from journalists all over the world. Pro + Agonist provided the bridge between Exileis earlier, pivotal drumini bass releases on labels like Moving Shadow, Beta, Ram and Mosquito and his then burgeoning live show. Now the Nuisance Gabbaret Lounge takes an acrobatic leap into the uncharted future of live electronic performance. The voodoo effigy of the DJ is burnt and the punters are immersed in a sea of punk attitude, cabaret antics and hectic beats, all cooked up on a mosh plate in front of your very eyes.

Price: $6.75 Label: Planet Mu
Release
Date:
6/15/09
***"Human Meadow" is the stand-out track from New York garage / 2-step / dubstep / hip hop / electronic artist Falty DL's debut album Love Is a Liability, and on this remix 12-inch he gets the Planet Mu treatment by some of the biggest names on the label.

Boxcutter steps up to the challenge first. Belfast's Barry Lynn's impressive discography includes 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, his version of "Human Meadow" has the same lush sound as that album.

Second to take the remix stand is label owner u-Ziq a.k.a. Mike Paradinas. The half-Spanish Paradinas, who has been releasing tunes since 1993, gets back to writing after a hiatus that followed his 2007 album Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation Technique.

The final mix comes from Mu veteran Luke Vibert, whose discography includes releases on Mo Wax, Ninja Tune, Rephlex, and Warp Records as well as two albums on Planet Mu (soon to be three).

***Planet Mu has a long and distinguished record of breaking new exciting artists and the label's latest signing Falty DL a.k.a. Drew Lustman is no exception. This New Yorker is no stranger to making music, with releases on Napalm Enema and Ramp Records, and his signature style is drawing attention from plays on Mary Anne Hobbs' BBC Radio 1 show.

Love Is a Liability is fresh like a Glade Plug-In in a room of smokers: post-garage ambience; round, warm melodies; and skippy two-step beats like it's 1999 again. This nostalgic record is immersed in the old New York and Chicago sounds. Lustman, a former sushi chef, has created a more subtle, futuristic Big Apple version, mashing together influences from hip hop, dubstep, soul, and electronica.

Opener "Human Meadow" is a prime example of Falty's bouncy, two-step, melody-driven style. "The Shape to Come" shows off his electronic infulences with Jega / u-Ziq-esque melodies, while tracks like "Paradise Lost" and "Our Loss" display his melancholy side, with bittersweet yearnings of chopped-up vocals and bleeps.

***Our New Quarters is Vancouver-based electro-pop musician Julian Fane's second album for Planet Mu and a follow-up to his widely-acclaimed 2004 release Special Forces. Fane's new pieces are grounded in live percussion, great swaths of strings, indecipherable high-pitched vocals and lush, sweeping synth effects. These elements, along with a strengthened vocal presence, give the music a powerful emotional core. The album wallows deliciously in vast, guitar-laden melancholy, and certain tracks, "The Moon Is Gone," for instance, achieve a pristine beauty almost classical in tone.

***Few Nolder is the alias of one Linas Strockis of Vilnius, Lithuania. In 2001, at the age of 16, Strockis quit his career as a professional piano player and entered into the world of electronic music.

Following several releases on Lithuanian label Partyzanai, Few Nolder made a surprise guest appearance at the Planet Mu 200th release party. This was followed shortly by his debut single, "No Mo," in February 2008.

Now Planet Mu has released his full-length album New Folder. Experimenting with off-kilter micro-house and druggy wonk, Strockis drops a barebones beat around which he flips deceptively simple synthline progressions that grow into monolithic riffs. At the crux of nu-disco, dubstep, and techno, Few Nolder has a truly forward-looking European sound.

Having released one 7-inch so far (For You/Radiality on their own and Alex Nut's Eglo imprint), Floating Points is destined to become a big player in the emerging scene.

***Frog Pocket (a.k.a. John Charles Wilson) returns for his second album on Planet Mu. Come On Primates! is a tentative, truly original exploration. Hearing the mix of electronica and noise with folk influences, it's easy to imagine the dramatic Ayr landscape that inspires this album-- although it's not all wistful beauty.

With tracks such as "Corn Na Gaeth" employing heavy electronic drums, and "Dungeon Hills," a huge and looming masterpiece full of gnawing strings and beats, the album gently guides the listener on a beautiful sonic journey. An accomplished violinist as well as the artist who created the piece on the cover, Frog Pocket inspires with his creativity, making Come On Primates! set to be one of the electronica albums of the year.

***Frog Pocket, aka John Charles Wilson, hails from Ayr in the west of Scotland. Gonglot, his debut full length album, features songs culled from between 1999 and 2005, many originally self-released on his own Mouthmoth label. Incorporating unquantized drum beats with fiddle, mandolin, processed guitar and vocals-- all recorded live to four-track-- Frog Pocket has maintained his credibility both as a Scottish musician and contemporary electronic performer. The folk-inflected melodies of Gonglot owe more to Celtic traditional music than the American folk-rock/electronic crossover currently in vogue. Its pastoral theme has a tradition in electronic music running back through Boards Of Canada to Aphex Twin and originally Ultramarine.

Frog Pocket is a regular on the live circuit and his dedication to performance and networking with other artists and labels led to a friendship with Mike Paradinas at Planet Mu. The label released the single "Fir Faas" in 2003 and worked closely with Wilson compiling the tracks for this full length release.

To know the music is to love the man, and his quirky, somewhat misinterpreted demeanor only adds to his mystique. The fractured AFX-like beats, alongside some truly beautiful melodies and such an energetic live act, sit at odds with a character so unassuming and modest.


Artist: GASMAN Title: Audiogold

Price: $13.00 Label: Planet Mu
Release
Date:
10/15/07
***The Gasman returns for his fourth album on Planet Mu, and as the name suggests, Audiogold contains nothing but the finest collection of aural stimuli. Blending dreamlike synths with discordant undertones and processed beats, but also adding elements of acid and electro it is a noticeable progression.

The Gasman pushes the envelope of melodic IDM composition with Audiogold, whilst still retaining his trademark "Gaylord" sound, somewhere between a haunted 19th century ballroom and an early 90s rave.

***It's been a busy year for Portsmouth's Gasman, what with playing live and starting his own label, and one can hear the influence of his support tour with The Cardiacs on Superlife, his ninth album. The record is full of beatless electronic lullabies such as "RXG3," which unsettles in all the best ways, and "Helpline," with its distinct sense of the uncanny just around the corner. Opener "Ruter" is a majestic, synth-led carousel of notes where the Blackpool Pier meets '90s trance. It's another winner from The Gasman's trademark "Gaylord" sound.

Chock full of strange atmospheres and chord changes, The Gasman makes sure the feeling is always uncertain. This time there is a definite bit of a choir / church organ / haunted pirate ship / broken ghost train vibe. Also a smidgen of Belgian techno, smashed wine glass and lime cordial organ renditions.

Release
Date:

***This One's For You, the fourth full-length release from Portsmouth, UK's Christopher Reeves (aka The Gasman), is perhaps his most rewarding work to date. On this follow-up to 2005's Multiplex (released by Canada's Sublight label), Reeves embellishes other-worldly electronica with clusters of organ-like chords and slabs of murky reverb. In the cross-fire of wavering grooves and humming tape loops one can imagine giant insects being poked and prodded by alien machines designed to extract their unusual sounds. Reeves works meticulously to create this eerie ambience, patching samples together on tinkered PCs and feeding reel-to-reel tapes through his laptop. This One's For You is genuinely refreshing audio for the ears.

***Gemmy hails from the hugely influential Bristol bass scene. Part of the "Purple Trinity" along with Joker and Guido, he's already had a big release on the Bristol-based Punch Drunk label and plays from Pinch, Joker, and Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1). Gemmy's debut for Planet Mu is a bass-heavy ride. With P-funk and grime influences, he blends the dub and the step with fat portamento synth lines and computer game effects to great effect, ensuring maximum dancefloor impact.

"Supligen" is a bass funk attack to the senses, offering a taste of Gemmy's upcoming debut album. 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 (guaranteed crowd response included). Watch your bass bins!

***Cyclical is the debut full-length from iTAL tEK, a.k.a. Alan Myson of Brighton. After massive 12-inch releases on Planet Mu and SQR last year, the man returns with an album's worth of moody yet beautiful dubstep with swooning chords underpinned by a techy undercarriage.

"[Bloodline] is the perfect introduction to his 'darker' sound, and as the rest of the scene moves into a more 4/4 direction, we see iTAL tEK taking things into the basement and adding a sizable chunk of noise into his productions. It reminds me of when the whole Renegade Hardware sound took hold of drum 'n' bass, and that's no bad thing--there's always space for growling distortion and a bad attitude in my mind. I guess Vex'd and more recently Cloaks have approached this sound, but iTAL tEK brings enough variation to make this 12-inch stand out, and far from merely exploring a bit these tracks have some serious bass weight.

***Hot on the heels of his 2008 debut album, Cyclical, Alan Myson is back with more material at the crux of techno and dubstep. With constant gigs all over Europe and plays from Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Myson has become a widely respected producer.

"Massive Error" chucks the listener into the deep end with a grime-nflected bass, vocal detritus, electro effects reminiscent of Drexciya or Rustie, and a slappy snare to keep it all anchored. "Snowburst" heads off on a journey of bleep and bass with whirling melodies. "Strange Love," meanwhile, is a silky smooth, laid-back dub-cruise.

On the B-side, the restrained new-age pads and muffled piano riffs on "Octa" would usher in a new era of "coffee-table dubstep" were it not for the insistent rim-shot and rude synths bubbling away in the background. In "Ghost Cloud," soft, sad melodies shimmer away over a dark, skipping steppers beat, and chords of bleeps cascade like waterfalls over the edge of his dark dub chasm.

The bassline and 2step beat mix in with current drum'n'bass but a distorted gabba beat kicks in, phased and mangled Amens fly around, and ghastly voices utter.

Date:
4/3/06
***Fresh from a 12-inch of Venetian Snares remixes, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble proudly present their self-titled debut full-length. Their mutant jazz slithers and slides, each song a delicately painful little story of heartache, hope and perseverance. These are soundtracks to non-existing movies, inspired by the worlds of Hieronymus Bosch, Pablo Picasso, and Francisco Goya.

Jason Kohnen (aka Bong-Ra) and Gideon Kiers, both graduates of the School of Arts, started The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble around the turn of the century, creating new soundtracks to silent movies like FW Murnau's Nosferatu and Fritz Lang's Metropolis. The audio/visual concept behind the band grew to incorporate "visual" music performed alongside existing film fragments to intensify the audio. Philadelphia filmmakers and surrealist animators The Quay Brothers were also a big influence on the duo's early music.

In 2004 Hilary Jeffrey began sitting in on trombone, having performed previously with artists such as Nick Bullen and Patrick Pulsinger. Nina Hitz and Ed Loman joined up shortly afterward on cello and guitar, respectively, and finally Charlotte Cegarra signed on as an improv vocalist to round out the sextet, with Kiers on drums, sequencing and visuals and Kohnen handling bass, synths and sequencing.

Date:

***Since 1994, Neil Landstrumm has been releasing his trademark electronics on some of the most recognized labels in the industry-- including Peacefrog, Tresor, and now, Planet Mu. Landstrumm's first album for Mu, Restaurant of Assassins, called on varied influences such as techno, dubstep, and breaks as well as vintage '90s rave sounds. The success of the album led to a string of sessions for the BBC, appearances on Kiss FM, and plays from DJs like Mary Anne Hobbs of Radio One's experimental show.

Landstrumm's new LP on Planet Mu, Lord for #39, expands on the steel-city industrial-rave styles set out Restaurant of Assassins. With several cameos from stately artists such as Carlton Killawatt, Ebola, and Si Begg, the vibe is imperial British bass psychedelia and all its stylish bleepy trimmings. Freshly imported Southern-fried krunk and sweet island dancehall are brewed an addictively low-frequency elixir with the refreshed roots of UK rave, steppers, grime, and garage. Cult analogue gear and digital production techniques meet to a useful and sovereign effect. British electronic heritage is neatly woven into a new modern bass experience sure to export well to stacked hi-fis near you.

Lord for #39 is about being a baron on the cheap-- hunting down cut-price maximum potentials and generally having the run of the place; getting the gear, penning the look, and shaping the sound; hijacking the system after greed has caused it to fail and getting on top.

Landstrumm's first album for Mu, Restaurant of Assassins, called on varied influences such as techno, dubstep, and breaks as well as vintage '90s rave sounds. The success of the album led to a string of sessions for the BBC, appearances on Kiss FM, and plays from DJs like Mary Anne Hobbs of Radio One's experimental show.

Landstrumm's new LP on Planet Mu, Lord for #39, expands on the steel-city industrial-rave styles set out Restaurant of Assassins. With several cameos from stately artists such as Carlton Killawatt, Ebola, and Si Begg, the vibe is imperial British bass psychedelia and all its stylish bleepy trimmings. Freshly imported Southern-fried krunk and sweet island dancehall are brewed an addictively low-frequency elixir with the refreshed roots of UK rave, steppers, grime, and garage. Cult analogue gear and digital production techniques meet to a useful and sovereign effect. British electronic heritage is neatly woven into a new modern bass experience sure to export well to stacked hi-fis near you.

Lord for #39 is about being a baron on the cheap-- hunting down cut-price maximum potentials and generally having the run of the place; getting the gear, penning the look, and shaping the sound; hijacking the system after greed has caused it to fail and getting on top.

***A stalwart of the UK electronic music scene since 1994, Neil Landstrumm has released work on many of the most recognised labels in the industry. Starting with Peacefrog, shifting gears to Berlins' Tresor Records he then upped the bass-game onto arguably the UKs' most important electronic label of the moment, Planet Mu. Neil Landstrumm is an artist who always seems to be at the spearhead of experimental, dancehall low frequency electronics. After a lengthy sabbatical in New York, the native Scot is now settled back in Edinburgh where he continues to make music and operate his label project, Scandinavia. Neil has toured relentlessly worldwide, supporting each year's releases with uncompromising live shows using a plethora of sound hardware.

Never an artist to rest on his laurels and churn out the same old, he has built a career on being unpredictable and open to new perspectives from which to hone his sound. A pioneer of new styles within techno, often copied and imitated Landstrumm has a strong pedigree within the scene. Unaligned to any one genre, upfront and heavy, he makes music for all-comers to the rave . Landstrumm steers his way through 2007 with refreshing abandon and the new LP Restaurant of Assassins.

With the heaviest subs this side of Chapeltown, Landstrumm seeks new lows with Restaurant of Assassins bringing together classic UK techno vibes and modern dubstep with a refreshed rave sensibility. Neil hijacks dubstep structure and its "on-the-three's" approach but adapts it to his signature sound so identifiable from the decades previous productions.

Undeniably proud of the UK's heritage in electronic music and clearly passionate about the influences in his musical ouput, Landstrumm has a talent for bringing it all together in unusual and creative packages.

Chasing the Great Northern Raves from the Happy Mondays and Yorkshire Bass N Bleep scene, to contemporary dubstep you can follow Landstrumm's vision of the ravestep sound in 2007 with Restaurant of Assassins. An unsettling cartel of badman and plain wrong-uns....

***After the unmitigated success of Last Step's eponymous debut, Aaron Funk re-ignites his electronic disco pseudonym for more off-kilter analogue adventures. Now, it's party time-- a celebration! Hence the cake...

Everyone knows Funk as the pioneering breakcore producer, Venetian Snares, but Last Step's 1961 is a joyful collection of jumpy acid maneuvers, funky grooves, and kitsch beats. The opening track, "My Home Recordings," sets the tone with Funk's trademark attention to detail, ever-shifting arrangements, and strong acid bass line-- a recurring theme throughout the recording.

***Not actual sleeve art).

Canadian Last Step provides Planet Mu with this debut EP featuring "You're A Nice Girl" with a vocal hook foundation and acid-electro backing. "Soda" delivers a rich cream cake of analog layers and chunky riffing. "Breakers Know" brings the late'80s hip-house sound back to prominence while adding the most detuned synth possible. Finally there's the remix of the title track which darkens the original into a menacing bass-led loop with robotic voices chanting the refrain until barely recognizable.

***Legion of Two is a new project from Alan O'Boyle and David Lacey. It pits electronics against live drums and percussion for a dark, dense, and noisy dirge. Huge basslines, slow, pounding rhythms, and feedback dominate. Industrial, dub, and metal influences are shredded through old guitar pedals and cheap reverbs and reassembled into a driving and melodic force.

O'Boyle is best known for his work as Decal, boasting a catalog of EPs and albums on labels like Satamile, Planet Mu, and Rotters Golf Club covering electro, techno, and experimental music. He has also been involved in recording, production, and remix duties with Redneck Manifesto, Two Lone Swordsmen, Jape, Super Extra Bonus Party, and many, many more.

Lacey is a Dublin-based drummer and percussionist who has been behind a drum kit in some capacity since the late '80s. Beginning in 1997, he has been heavily active in improvised music, collaborating with many local and international musicians. He is one of the driving forces behind the I+E Festival in Dublin.

***After last autumn's sublime Glyphic long-player, Boxcutter reverted to his given name for Balancing Lakes, a journey through his extensive back catalogue of material. These tracks date from the 2002-2005 period up to the time Lynn wrote his classic first album Oneiric. An early interest in UK garage is apparent in the two-steppy breaks of "London" for instance, and minimal techno in "LTI." Balancing Lakes, though, feels like an album and not simply a collection of tracks. From the gorgeous, blissful amen jungle of "Loving Dub" to the jazzy horns and otherworldly melodies of "New Orleans," this compilation shows a man who was at the top of his game even before his debut release.

***Autoimmune is the new full-length from seminal electronic band Meat Beat Manifesto. Led by sound sculptor and producer extraordinaire Jack Dangers, the band continues to evolve, with their their tenth album, a masterpiece of dubstep and electronica, pushing musical boundaries further than ever. "I feel closest to the dubstep trend," says Dangers. "I feel like dub has always been part of my sound."

On Autoimmune, guest vocalist Daddy Sandy makes an appearance on "I Hold the Mic!" and the techno-tinged "Spanish Vocoder" touches on Dangers' early techno roots. "Every record is different," he explains, "and in this record I focused on what I like to do versus what other people like me to do: beats, bass and distortion."

Meat Beat Manifesto's musical inventions have generated a long string of influential, futuristic classics, including tracks such as "God OD," "Psyche-Out," "Helter Skelter," "Radio Babylon," "Edge of No Control," and "It's The Music." The single "Prime Audio Soup" (from the album Actual Sounds and Voices) was featured in the sci-fi fantasy blockbuster The Matrix and on its platinum-selling soundtrack.

***Milanese, the Sunshine Coast's resident electronic maverick, is back on Planet Mu. After performing at the BBC's Electric Proms (in a pinstripe suit, no less!) at the request of John Peel's family in 2008, he went on a blistering West Coast tour where he sampled Moose Drool Beer, played "Batshit or Bluetooth" on the San Francisco streets, and ruined his Reebok Reverse Jams searching for hot springs in Idaho. And with the summer comes the release of Lockout, his heavy-as-fuck second album on the mighty Planet Mu and a snapshot of the evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise UK bass music.

Having pioneered the dark, heavy, and twisted experimental dubstep sound with previous releases on Warp, Combat, MG77, Arcola, and Seed, Milanese shifts his focus toward collaborations. Strong vocal artists like Ben Sharpa (Pioneer Unit, Cape Town) and RQM (Al Haca, Vienna) deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style on this LP, melded perfectly with Milanese's own fat, swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude, and odd, mangled samples.

Melting dubstep's earthshaking frequencies with hip hop and grime vocals and hard-edged Timbaland-influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop, nor IDM--one could call it a mash-up of all these, but it would be more accurate to say it's streetwise bass music for the year 3000. Milanese produces incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeps the funk, fury, and bounce on lock-down. Born and raised in London, Milanese grew up playing the piano and other musical instruments while listening to pirate jungle, techno, and hardcore radio stations and raving at free parties around the capital. He now resides on the South Coast and had his busiest year yet in 2008, touring constantly around Europe and the West Coast of America. Even with a trip over to Russia, he has also found time to remix old collaborators Various Production.

Price: $6.75 Label: Planet Mu
Release
Date:
10/8/07
***Texan Dubstep, throwing the deep south chopped and screwed vocal sound into the mix. "Throw Some D's" is set to be an absolutely huge tune, bringing a brand new flavor to the scene. "Big Killaz" (feat. Skint) on the flip, pushes the sound slower and darker still, with a truly original U.S twist. Definitely one to watch.

His style might be exactly the kind of warping dark halfstep you'd expect from Youngsta or Hench, but it's saved by a Texan twist. Screwed and chopped hip-hop vocals give Parson a uniquely U.S. flavor-- essential if he's to add to the healthy momentum that he generated for himself in '06.

***Some of the most listenable and melodic work yet from L.A.'s Phthalocyanine brings slight rave and hardcore flavors to his off-kilter, harmonically "wrong" melody clusters. Like slabs of jazz noise heard through pastoral electronica with waves of gabba and Belgian techno fighting spidery, distorted rhythms and breaks.

Phthalocyanine's lo-fi electronic adventuring is dense and massively messy. It obeys its own auto-destructive, scattershot illogic, stuttering and leaking lo-fi noises in a staggering, multidirectional chaos. Crude beat-blasts occasionally puncture the mix. Rhythm clips ricochet off sounds like bursts of small arms fire. Prismatic melodies circle off-pace. Foggy banks of synth noise puff up and seep out across a bubbling swamp of electronic noise, --The Wire

    ***Arguably the king of the Bristol scene, DJ Pinch (a.k.a. Rob Ellis) is a name that everyone into dubstep should know. His list of forthcoming gigs is enough to make anyone who enjoys travel envious and a sure sign of his success and worldwide recognition. Following a string of releases on Tectonic, Tempa, Soul Jazz, and Punch Drunk, "Attack of the Giant Robot Spiders!" marks Pinch's fifth release for the Planet Mu label.

    The title track shuns the bass scene's ever-present need to go harder and louder. Instead, Pinch reins it in and takes masterful control of the beats, making a track that is progressive, dark, and harrowing. Like Darqwan and Distance, Ellis understands the less-is-more approach, creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia and anxiety within his music. "Attack..." starts off with a lurching beat that pushes its way across the dark background soundscape of soft pads and ambience, finally arriving at the chunky bass drop a good third of the way into the tune. At this point it would be impossible to stop one's head from nodding.

    The flip also relies on what's not there. On "Teleportation," Ellis creates a great feeling of space between his fast two-step beat before a soft pad lead laps over the top.

    ***12" from the owner of Bristol's Tectonic label, Rob Ellis. '"Pepper Spray" is nothing other than a fucking wicked tune, and with a tempo closer to jungle than dubstep and a bassline to end all basslines, this tune will shake guts at every single Dubstep night in the very near future. The flip side sees a darker sound, still employing the same huge bass only Pinch knows how to achieve, combined with light pads and minimal samples. Ace at bass.

Bristolis DJ Pinch follows "Qawwali" with "Punisher," a dark anthem featuring a descending hoover riff doing battle with the famous iBludclot Artattacki sample (also heard on a recent Ed Rush track). The A-sideis bass drop has to be heard to be believed. Ethnic percussion and warped bass take over on the flipsideis V.I.P. mix.

    ***Hailing from Britain's South Coast and now based in Birmingham, Raffertie is the 21-year-old DJ / producer whose innovative and downright filthy style has been smashing up the UK's underground dance music scene for the last couple years.

    Playing high energy, bass-laden tunes, Raffertie has quickly became a firm party favorite across the UK. His sets include everything from uplifting pop classics and '90s rave anthems to the filthiest house, garage, grime, and dubstep tracks, creating huge dancefloor reactions that earned him a residency at Hold Tight in London.

    Alongside his DJing exploits, Raffertie's productions have received much acclaim. Following a set of renowned bootlegs that ply all manner of tunes with sickening wonky basslines, his original productions caught the attention of some big names. With Starkey championing the twisted rumbling monster "Anitsocial" on his Sub.FM show, Radio1's Mary Anne Hobbs picked up the distorted, devastating beats of "Stomping Grounds VIP." She was so impressed that she invited Raffertie to do a guest mix as part of her showcase of up-and-coming talent, describing him "as sick as they come."

    A-side "Wobble Horror!" is a monster of a tune. Rave hoovers and fat bass churn away under a twisted vocal looping, with Rafferie repeating "I'm getting sicker by the day..." Serious high-energy business. "Sugar" fits somewhere in the gap between the real jump-up grime, dubstep, and bassline that London seems to be all about at the moment. In a similar vein to Moves!!!, Drums of Death, or A1 Bassline, Raffertie sets up a pure sugar rush. This release is guaranteed to create a legion of loyal followers who will follow him to the end of the bassline and back.

    ***Planet Mu presents the debut album from the reclusive Remano Eszildn. The Scottish-born musician currently resides in Bristol, although there is no sign of any dubstep, wonky, bass-line or sub-bass action on this release. R-Tracks delivers more than enough killer material to satisfy. Soft, gentle synths and warm pads bounce away over tight, plucky beats while fast, arpeggiated leads rush through the various compositions.

    Knight Rider-esque rhythms lead into the opener "R-Track." "Countdown to Meltdown" is a full-blown agoraphobic nightmare with gothic overtones, sure to make the listener anxious even in the most calming situations. This music takes machine rhythms to new emotive levels, with the attention to detail luring one back for repeated listens. Great electronic music with a nostalgic edge.

    ***Shitmat steps up for album number four on Planet Mu. Co-founder of the seminal Wrong Music record label and breakcore veteran, Henry Collins from Brighton is back. Is One Foot in the Rave the end of the line for Shitmat as we know him? Will this be his last album under the Shitmat moniker? If so, what a better way to end things with the way it all began? Back to the old school.

    With throwback albums all the rage, Shitmat joins the likes of Zomby and Glowstyx with a nostalgic album of '92-'94 jungle breaks and Amen killers. Collins keeps the original authentic jungle sound using an Akai S950 sampler-- the hardcore junglist's weapon of choice-- and samples cassettes from old pirate radio shows. This Amen-heavy full-length is reminiscent of DJ Seduction, Foul Play, and early Remarc with a tip of the hat to the old school masters of the break.

    Shitmat continues to tour, with dates across the UK and Europe and a headlining appearance at the Bangface weekender, where fans can witness the full-on gore and carnage of his One Foot in the Rave tour.

    ***Philadelphia-based producer Starkey's bass-heavy debut for Planet Mu is sure to turn heads. His recent rise to the top of his game has seen a string of releases on Seclusiasis, Slit Jockey, and the seminal Lo Dubs label. Starkey was recently picked by Jamie Vex'd for Mary Anne Hobbs' Generation Bass show on Radio 1 where the world's most exciting rising stars in the dubstep and grime scene showcase their talents.

    On Ephemeral, gutter music instantly grabs the listener's attention and holds it with electro-infused melodies and fluttering bass hooks. Upon hearing his great slabs of grimey bass, anyone would be forgiven in thinking the guy was raised on a Croydon council estate on a diet of grime, dubstep, garage, and electro. "Miracles" slows the pace with its mellow pads and airy vocal, while the track "Dark Alley" comes out of the shadows and stabs you with a knife. Other highlights include "Escape, "Pressure," and "Spacewalk"-- all good examples of what varied influences have gone in to create Starkey's signature sound.

    Since the age of five, Starkey has been playing the piano; he is currently a music tech teacher by day and a pioneer of the bass scene by night. Alongside DEV79, Starkey was the first US promoter to put on a grime night in his home city, positioning himself at the forefront of the new style. He has gone on to promote the scene by hosting a monthly show, Seclusiasis Radio.

    ***Following the huge success of his debut album Ephemeral Exhibits, Starkey is back with another absolutely mind-blowing, next-level 12-inch, ahead of his in-the-works second album on Planet Mu. Philly-based Starkey has seen global success with various European and US dates, a tour of Australia and New Zealand, and releases on Lo Dubs, Ruff, and Werk Discs. After hearing this single, it's no surprise.

    The A-side features a huge remix of Ephemeral Exhibits' "Miracles" by Jamie Vex'd. Grainy '80s synths and menacing background ambience showcase his talent for bringing the "atmosphere you didn't even know it had" out of a tune. Fans of his recent In System Travel EP will not be disappointed.

    "Creature" is the first track to hit the world from Starkey's follow-up and is sure to get some serious attention. His custom stuttering, grime-y bass sound woozes away over pulsing, pitch-bending keys that are more than enough to get one's spine tingling.

    ***Uniform is Wajid Yaseen of Mute Industrial Electronics act 2nd Gen. His second album under the Uniform moniker, Protocol, features twelve tracks of electronic fragmented fury and beauty aided and abetted by a weird and wondrous list of collaborators including Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, Terry Edwards, Dalek and others. The CD features sleeve art by reknowned multi-media artist Franko B.

    Yaseen...uses hard but straight-ahead hip-hop rhythms and big, shredded drum samples. Nearly every sound here is distorted, which...would be tiring, but so far my ears are happy. There are lots of squealing filters zipping around, jagged basslines to piss off the neighbors and harsh leads for eardrum sanding. --Irving Bellemead, Splendidezine.com

    ***u-Ziq's place in musical history is secure. As a key innovator who to brought electronic music to a wider audience in the nineties, the group, a moniker for Planet Mu founder and head Mike Paradinas, pushed boundaries and rattled heads with a consistent stream of releases, each exploring some new realm of consciousness.

    It's been four years since the whirlwind of chaos that was Bilious Paths, and Paradinas' new album a more reflective body of work that is no less as revelatory. More introspective and melancholic, u-Ziq revisits his roots in the early 90s ambient techno scene pioneered by, among others, The Black Dog, Aphex Twin and himself.

    Amongst these 17 tracks of off-key melodies, nauseous harmonies and woozy beats can be found gems such as the beautiful "Strawberry Fields Hotel" in which a lone bassline strikes out a refrain of unexpected simplicity while bees swarm overhead around a fig tree. And "Drum Light" where a five-part melody gives way to a startling noise assault. "Acid Steak Night", a collaboration with labelmate The Doubtful Guest, is a more straightforward techno number with 303 basslines warring it out with spooky melodic synth lines. A melodic tour de force, and a welcome return to one of the most vital artists in music today.

    7/25/05
    ***With "Ease Up" Planet Mu delivers the first new material from Mike Paradinas's μ-Ziq project since 2003's acclaimed full-length Bilious Paths. This three-track 12-inch contains the live favorite "Ease Up"-- a slow, dubwise drum'n'bass/breakcore cut that's been ending his sets nicely for the last two years. The halftime breakdown introduces a malevolent kick drum of immense proportions that drags the course of the track against its will into hardcore territory. "Wergle The Proud" brings back two of Paradinas's famous melody lines, weaving and interacting like they've never been away, reminiscent of Lunatic Harness. The B-side contains the V.I.P. mix of "Ease up"-- a thirteen-minute epic that builds up riffing on the original's samples and bass line, then breaks down into melodic, underwater dub and slowly but expertly returns to the surface for another five melodic "movements."

    Track listing:

    1. Ease Up (Original Mix)
    2.Wergle The Proud
    3. Ease Up (V.I.P Mix)

    • Leading figure in the electronic home-listening movement
    • Michael Paradinas has also recorded with Diesel M, Jake Slazenger, Gary Moscheles, Kid Spatula, and the Tusken Raiders

    ***Dubstep truly is the sound of now, and what better way for Planet Mu to celebrate its own unique journey through this fresh genre over the last few years than an extremely huge compilation?

    With Boxcutter, Milanese, and Vex'd all pushing the sound to an extreme new level and the more straight up work of Pinch, Distance and MRK1 ensuring the original bassweight is still intact, Mike Paradinas takes the sound of now into the future. CD1 is a collection of the finest, deepest tunes released on mu over the last 4 years (including a Milanese exclusive), and CD2 is a special bonus mix by Kiss FM's DJ Hatcha, containing massive new tunes from Planet Mu's freshest artists in the scene. 'Heavy' is a word overused in describing Dubstep releases, but compilations such as this are few and far between.

    Weighing more than 2 double decker buses, 10 Tons Heavy is the sound.

    ***The UK underground is on fire in 2006. It's undeniably a special, fertile time and BBC Radio 1 dee-jay Mary Anne Hobbs wanted to capture some of the unique energy of this generation on a single compilation. Warrior Dubz represents a collection of some of the pioneering underground artists she's been supporting on her show.

    More than half of the tunes featured on Warrior Dubz were produced exclusively for the album. The others are the underground classics that helped define the 2006 scene. Hobbs is responsible for shaping the agenda of one of the most trend-setting and respected underground music shows on English radio. Regarding her influence on the music she champions, consider this: When BBC Radio1 announced a new "specialist" schedule, her show, formerly called Breezeblock, was rechristened simply Mary Anne Hobbs.

    Her mission is to find truly elemental new music and present it in step with emerging global scenes. At the core of the show is the next generation of dubstep, grime, drum'n'bass, dark dancefloor, hip hop, techno, IDM, radical electronics and any other new music that will, if you listen closely, change your life.
