04. Jega - Naem (3:21)
However ugly the term, drill’n’bass still sounds perfect for Dylan “Jega” Nathan and hisjarringly abstract machine-gun beat collages.
Sometimes his ultra-precise work is easier to appreciate as engineering rather than music, but here he’s fired up and on cracking form.
Taken from his imminent “Spectrum” album, “Pitbull” is a layered confection of elegant cinematic melody, bruising hip-hop breaks and sense-shredding metallic junglism.
The stealthy, spring-loaded clatter of “Carbon 60” seems to be fashioned out of ulta-light alloy, while “Intron V” and “Naem” are Aphex-tinged collisions of randomised rhythm and kindergarten melody. It no doubt all makes perfect sense to Nathan, but it remains disturbingly beautiful to untuned ears.

Weather Report and Aphex Twin. Jean-Michael Jarre and Atari Teenage Riot.
Not names I’d ordinarily associate, but in a few instances, Jega manages to bring these un-conceived pairings to mind.
Jega, aka Dylan Nathan, is a protégé of Mike Paradinas, and according to British Press is a pioneer of the aptly-titled “drill ‘n’ bass” scene.
“Red Mullet” has a jazzy swing to it that belies the electronic analog sounds powering the song.
The subsequent “Nia” could easily pass for an Aphex Twin remix.
“Gemini” cools down some burning jungle with a smoke-colored spy bassline and sly organ stabs.
Some really interesting music here.

02. Tusken Raiders - Ice Nine (6:30)
03. Tusken Raiders - Pansy (4:31)
04. Tusken Raiders - Death (7:01)
He of many monikers, Mike Paradinas, returns to his Tusken Raiders alias to put out these two new 12″s on his own Planet Mu imprint.
Bantha Trax vol.2 does not resemble the original Bantha Trax released by Clear records in the least.
What we have actually has more in common with Panacea and the Position Chrome crew.
Yes, it is over the top, brutal dark drum and bass. And hey, to make the package complete, you get song titles like “Death” and “Ice Nine” and cover art work that looks more like Norwegian black metal than anything else.
The first track, “Banthacid,” starts off the EP as a somewhat bland two step drum and bass track, save for the extremely dark yet amazingly funky bass line.
Halfway through, it erupts into fractured Amen breaks and massive distortion.
A good opener track. “Ice Nine” follows a similar line, but has a more Ray Keith/Penny Black feel to it with very dense and unsettling distortion.
The secret to this track though is to focus on the melodic ambient sounds in the background.
It finds it’s way to the surface a couple of times evoking the familiar Mu-Ziq sound.
Flip over to side two and the trouble starts. Pansy puts you directly into the cover artwork.
As you walk through the dark cemetary at night, a dense fog surrounds and evelops you.
All your childhood nightmares resurface a huge Amen break explodes and a zombified bass line rips you apart, and sends your heart racing a couple more b.p.m.’s faster than the beat.
This get’s my vote as the standout track of the four. Just a huge, huge track.
Finishing up the EP is “Death.” Following Pansy and with a title like that, you would think this would send you to the rubber room wrapped up like a Christmas present.
But, while “Death” does not pummel you into a basket case, it does confuse you with erratic drum programming, while the bass line prods and pokes you into a dark corner until you have completely surrendered.

Debut album from Spymania affiliate Steve Taylor aka Horse Opera.
After Horse Opera’s contribution to the Mealtime comp on Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu label, We were expecting Three Cornered Room to be more of a tweaked out drum ‘n’ bass workout than it actually is.
Instead, Horse Opera lead us on a trek through 30 minutes of Vibert-ian style hip-hop.
Rarely touching anything resembling drum n’ bass, Three Cornered Room is full of squelchy synth lines, 808 kicks, and slightly mutated breaks.
The CD runs the full gamut, from a half-hearted take on the Prince motif “Sexy MF” to somewhat of a remix (?) of a few older A Tribe Called Quest tracks on the closing “House of the Jazz.”
More than just an update to the current crop of abstract headz, Horse Opera could hold its own against the best of the current crop of break manipulators.
Digital version features bonus track “Utility Fog” (from Mealtime)

Digital version features bonus track “Moon Base Alpha”.
One might have expected this team-up between electronic prankster Mike “Mu-ziq” Paradinas and breakbeat convert Jochem “Speedy J” Paap to end in abject failure.
After all, a similar collaboration between Paradinas and like-minded experimentalist Richard D. James produced little inspiration but plenty of tiresome pastiche.
Instead of studio sniggering or art-school excess, though, “Slag Boom Van Loon” offers us 11 compositions that consistently balance playfulness with gravity, innovation with structure.
Serene washes of melody float atop fidgety, yet subdued rhythms. Ambient, world music and musique concrete exert equal influences, yet the results sound undeniably singular.
It’s quite an old trick to let crunchy beats play off pretty synths, but here the keyboards unsettle just as often as the sampled and sliced-up “percussion.”
On “SPC-CH-PN,” a mournful piano loop ambles around a dusky cyber-cafe while a distant horn figure slowly morphs into a human groan.
“Butch” translates the irregular breakbeats of post-dancefloor jungle into dinky little Casio and kazoo sounds – cash registers conversing quietly in the night.
The pinball-machine funk of “Broccoli,” the pastoral acid of “Poppy Seed” and the fractured pomp and circumstance of “Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium” – all suggest glorious accidents set in motion by a sorcerer’s apprentice.
Really, they’re the work of two accomplished tinkerers whose noisy sides cancelled each other out, leaving only hypnotic reverie.

Digital format features bonus track “Light Of India (Múm Remix)”.
In 1998, two unlikely allies, Mike Paradinas (aka Mu-Ziq) and Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J) recorded a self-titled record under the name Slag Boom Van Loon.
This phrase was not exactly loaded with meaning, but the album contained some highly unorthodox analog sounds, from the sitar-heavy ‘Light of India’ to the slippery, 3/4 tempo of ‘Broccoli’.
Three years later, Paradinas unearthed the source material and invited a range of electronic underground celebrities to re-work the album from top to bottom.
And the group has done his bidding. Many “IDM” operatives will visit this CD merely for the fact that it contains two remixes by Boards of Canada.
The CD opens with the BOC mix of “Poppy Seed,” which sees the aforementioned Warp artists applying their pastoral effects: slow, bubbling basslines and the bucolic sounds of the British countryside.
Planet Mu artist Leafcutter John does an expert job hacking up the originally peaceful ‘Broccoli’.
In fact, he mimics the sound of a dozen chefs chopping vegetables and feeding them into the Cuisinart.
Kieran Hebden, better known as Four Tet (whose new album is due this week) applies his crisp, live drumming sounds to the otherwise calm ‘Sutedja,’ which becomes more dynamic and melodic in his able hands.
The most unsettling, and satisfying piece, here is Coil’s retooling of the nine-minute ‘Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium.’
A tiny, repeating chord sequence which anchors the track to the earth’s surface while Coil scrape sheets of aluminum over the surface of the mix and drive high frequency settings to the level of a dog whistle.
A circular bassline begins to emerge halfway through, but it’s contained by Coil’s nearly human shrieks.
This is quite simply a piece of music you cannot ignore.

08. Capitol K - Jump Off The Box (4:35)
09. Capitol K - Sounds Of The Empire (4:33)
10. Capitol K - Cosmonaut (6:34)
Sounds of the Empire sees Capitol K making tweaked-out electronic sound collages that bristle with as much ear-pleasing melody as they drip with innovation.
Kristian Craig Robinson and Cliff Harris weave loads of ringing synth sounds with layers of more traditional instruments and sound effects toward a most moody atmosphere.
Songs like “People” boom with heavy bass and crash and stutter via dark samples.
Unlike knob-twisting peer Luke Vibert, who plays with samples and electronics in a similar yet lighter way, Capitol K never lets their samples get out of hand.
Capitol K’s samples add crazed depth to the songs, rather than acting as elements toward some catchy goal.
The album attacks fiercely at times. “People” is again a good example; after four minutes of interesting dabbling, the duo deploy an armada of evil drum’n’bass madness.
One of Capitol K’s best traits is that they’re not afraid of pop hooks.
Many of their dark electronic contemporaries can’t claim that characteristic in their music.
“Lagoon” is so fragile and gentle in its acoustic foundation that it threatens to turn into a New Order song at any second.
The vocals on “Janome Home” are a brilliant change of pace, as the song achieves the blissed-out state Leila was attempting with Courtesy of Choice.
One imagines Tim Burgess singing to music by Bjork.
“Jump off the Box” comes like a more subtle Orbital.
The album works on many levels; songs sound warm and inviting while still having raging, ominous souls.
Bubbling cacophony rarely sounds this compelling.
Sounds of the Empire is a stunning, confident debut which is full of riveting, accessible electronic artistry.

20. Kid Spatula - Full Sunken Breaks (5:04)
It’s a full 7 years since Mike Paradinas delivered his debut µ-Ziq album.
Far from taking his lead from Leftfield, Stereo MCs or the Stone Roses, however, Paradinas has subsequently averaged 2 albums a year ever since.
This, his second as Kid Spatula, represents album no. 13 and, as you would expect from any of his various aliases (Jake Slazenger, Gary Moscheles, Tuscan Raiders, Mike & Rich, Slag Boon Van Loon and, of course, µ-Ziq),
it’s an album saturated in splintered breaks, abrasive ambience and warped funk… and a ton of that old hardcore attitude.
Legend has it that when Paradinas first created his distorted vision of idiot techno, he was only trying to make hardcore – he’d been to the raves, wired up a makeshift studio, and was intent on becoming Mr. Top-One-Nice-One-Hardcore-You-Know-The-Bloody-Score.
One can only assume that someone slipped something strange into his circuitry because the avalanche of chaos that ensued stood so far apart from its surroundings that the words ‘maverick’ and ‘loner’ were bandied about like cocaine at an A&R meeting.
Since then, Paradinas has remained on this idiosyncratic course, delivering music that could only have come from his head; brave, pioneering music that long since stopped being flavour of the month and has subsequently become a constant presence, an entity unto itself.
If last year’s µ-Ziq album ‘Royal Astronomy’ offered the pop side of the Paradinas mind, then ‘Full Sunken Breaks’ finds him once again immersed in those obsessions of old.
On the one hand, we have his classic, ironic hardcore – harder than a month of Atari Teenage Riots and funkier than a weekend of porno flicks; and on the other, we have the sleazy listening ’70s soundtrack slut, cheeky like a cache of Carry Ons, twisted like a snatch of Derek And Clives.
Not that this is in any way a cheesy album.
In each finely crafted, adrenalised idea-rush, he manages to make the most ridiculous sound, wayward idea and obtuse rhythm sound completely natural.
On ‘Hard Love’ he practically dons the white gloves for the ravetastic samples; ‘Dirtwah’ melts glam rock and Middle Eastern samples over hi-speed breaks for a flash of ’92 inspiration; while ‘Beaver’ emerges like a timid cuddly toy before revealing industrial-strength claws and a taste for blood.
With a melodic yet twisted underbelly, Full Sunken Breaks always threatens to drag the beats screaming into easy listening, test-card territory.
Take ‘Dancing Demons’, with its acid-soaked, ’70s spy thriller soundtrack, or ‘Another Fresh Style’ and ‘Nordy’, with their psycho-nursery rhyme melodies.
Then there’s ‘Snorkmaiden’ (!), which presents playschool b-lines over Bluff Limbo ambience.
Works of near genius, one and all. In today’s cynical world it’s the creative mavericks who continually lose out to the mainstream moguls – it’s safer to roll your eyes and dismiss ‘yet another Mike Paradinas album’: in so doing, however, you’re ignoring one of Britain’s truest unique talents.
He may not be a beardy nutter like his mate Aphex Twin but he’s got more essential music to his name than Virgin Records in their entirety.
All hail the Spatula boy.

04. Capitol K - Superheroes (4:59)
05. Capitol K - Big Submarine (7:01)
What a wow. There are 5 songs on this 12″. The first song “Pillow” is the feature. It is where Flaming Lips dream of going.
A totally electronic – not even now but beyond now – song with vocals and a real structure. It is really a musthear, no kidding.
This is what I think Brad Laner wanted to do in his post Medicine pop project too.
Following ‘Pillow’ are 4 instrumentals. I like “Production No.” best (the song which immediately follows ‘Pillow’).
It has a simple piano signature like OMD had in “Electricity” or more recently Cinema in “They Nicknamed Me Evil” which it carries up up up into other realms with the sounds around and within it.
The third song on the A-side didn’t leave much impression on me, and the 2 songs on the B-side are a bit beat oriented, though I do like the first one (“Superheroes”) which reminds me a bit of the Japanese band Montparnasse, who have an excellent 12″ on Escalator Records.

There’s an old quip that writing about art is like dancing about architecture. (Yes, that old thing.)
Well, Jega went to architecture school with µ-ziq and Aphex Twin, so he’d know more about that than most.
Unsurprisingly, Jega sounds not unlike his better-known classmates.
Falling squarely into the this-is-techno-but-don’t-dance-to-it camp, Dylan Nathan tics and quirks like any addled British gent with too much time, an ugly beard (I presume) and an 808 should.
But, distinguishing him from the rest of the “Look, ma! I’m a genius” dance music crowd, Nathan clearly took better notes in architecture than the rest of the IDM crowd ever bothered to.
Far more than his stateside debut, Spectrum, Jega’s Geometry is preoccupied with questions of space.
The record opens with a vast humming sound, as if Nathan were demonstrating how big a space he’s working in by recording a huge wind rushing through it.
Though the first appearance of actual music diminishes that scale down to the humble bleeps and clicks of “Alternating Bit,” a caustic little digibyte of electro-inspired troublemaking, every piece here is as carefully thought out as a building might be.
Principally, Geometry supplants the fury and blistering speed of the first few Jega offerings with a glassy, almost pretty surface.
Where the last record took a page from Squarepusher’s relentless, haywire jitteriness, many pieces here sound like Philip Glass with a shorter attention span and no interest in opera.
Keyboards slither between, over and under beats; songs move with almost mathematic precision (Geometry, get it?).
If the last Jega album, as some pundits remarked, invented drill-n-bass, this is “chill-n-bass.”
This isn’t the chamber-music transcendence of Aphex Twin’s slower moments; it’s a gorgeous absense of feeling.
The tracks work like clockwork and with approximately as much emotional commitment.
And just because it won’t make you cry doesn’t mean you won’t nod your head.
Still, anyone who’s looking to techno like this stuff for matters of the heart is missing the point.
The stuttering beats and languid melodies at once conceal and describe the undergirdings beneath them, making Geometry a fascinating, if not moving, musical experience.
This is music about the experience of listening to music.
It’s like singing about dancing about architecture.

“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)

14. Tim Tetlow - Safety In Numbers (3:44)
Taken from several recordings done in Bermuda and London, Tim Tetlow shows influences from the likes of Boards of Canada and Bola, or Autechre and early Aphex Twin.
His persistent adaptation of surrealistic and catchy melodies that are laced with unmethodical rhythms makes Tetlow’s work majestic and rich to the senses.
Every track has something that will shine a pathway of pleasant daydreams and wonderful insight.
Good examples lie within tracks such as “Mind is Moving”, “Everything is Best”, “Polyphilo #2”, “Muddy Road”, “29/6/96”, and “Safety in Numbers”.
“Mind is Moving” entices us with encompassing light-hearted melodics that spiral and ascend while distant pads surround and glitchy rhythms glide in their path. track three, “Everything is Best” works with melancholic chords that interlace and flow with warmer flute-like melodies and well paced rhythms.
A very awesome and enchanting release that anyone who appreciates the works of Skam, boc, Bola, or Autechre should not be without.
One of the very best from Planet Mu.

John Burton, aka Leafcutter John, born in West Yorkshire, originally wanted to be a painter, and studied at Norwich School Of Art.
Burton was also a songwriter, spending his spare time composing folk songs on a guitar.
Them one day, he bought a PC, to type his university assignments.
That’s when he discovered the possibilities of electronic music. That was four years ago…
At the time, Burton didn’t own any electronic music records, but, fortunately, some of his friends did.
A crash course in contemporary artists and different forms of music later, he was ready to release a first EP, Concourse, then, a few months later, an album, on Mike Paradinas’ very own label, Planet Mu.
From the intro of the first track of Microcontact, you know you’ve stumbled across something unusual.
Heavily relying on machines, Burton relies even more on the inspiration he gets from environmental noises and acoustic sounds recorded in all sorts of different places or situation, or during sonic workshops he organises in art galleries.
When asked about people who inspire him, Burton cites Chasm, Main or Richard D James, as well as Pierre Henry, Karlheinz Stockhausen or Pierre Schaeffer.
And, listening to Microcontact, the analogy between Leafcutter John and the musique concrète movement is quite obvious.
If not as remote as the music produced by any of these composers, Burton’s creations remain quite difficult to apprehend, even when he flirts with more conventional electro, as on track 9, or when traces of his past as a folk musician can be found on track 5.
However, his deconstructed structures are strangely appealing. Sometimes similar to Autechre’s work (track 1, track 6), Microcontact has more connections with Mike Dred’s and Peter Green’s 1998 Virtual Farmer, in that, while it introduces a very abstract concept, the intensity of the atmospheres captured is still very much intact after the treatments are applied.
Like Virtual Farmer, Microcontact is very much a human record, which interacts with the outside world as much as it does with its own, exposing in the process Burton as a very creative musician, attentive to his environment and to what he can do with it.
Microcontact is a very unusual record, even by today’s standard.
While not completely unique nor uniquely original, this album is refreshing and challenging enough to put it above the rest, and to isolate Leafcutter John as an exceptional creator

When Hellfish first met The DJ Producer, they both knew it was the start of something special.
Maybe it was the look in Hellfish’s eyes as he handed the record to The DJ producer at that fateful Helter Skelter rave back in 1995, daring him to play it. Maybe it was the respect they’d had for one another since the scene’s early-’90s halcyon period. Maybe they just liked each other’s haircuts.
Whatever the reason, the five-year DJing, production and drinking partnership of quiet 28-year-old Essex man Julian Cobb (Hellfish) and Bath-based Luke McMillan (The DJ Producer), 27, has ripped a swathe through the hardcore techno rave underground.
Today, after dozens of “sewer-level” releases on their own Deathchant and Rebel Scum labels, the pair are coming to terms with their first overtly commercial project: “Constant Mutation”, a brutal mix album of seismic terror-techno hip-hop that rarely dips below 200bpm, for Mike “µ-Ziq” Paradinas’ Planet µ imprint.
“The record is an encapsulation of the way we’ve brought ourselves through ten years of raving and we’ve now turned into the bastard sons of rave. this was the eventual outcome,” enthuses McMillan. “Everything we’ve acquired knowledge-wise from the music we just beat together in one mass of energy. It was never preconceived, never like, “Oh we’re gonna make music this fast”. It just happened.”
With tracks as uncompromisingly savage as their titles – “Head Grit”, “Spitting Blood” – it’s not a music for the faint-hearted or mentally fragile. While most DJs aim to take you on a journey, Hellfish & Producer complete the journey in record time, smash you over the head, lock you in the boot and then dump your body in a lay-by.
“You’re either gonna love it or you’re gonna fucking hate it!” grins McMillan, a globe-trotting hardcore DJ of ten years. “Either way we still get a result because it’s about a reaction. If you’ve never heard this music before it’ll take you a minute to adjust to it because you don’t know what speed it’s meant to be. Is it half-speed or double speed? Is double-speed really double-speed or is double-speed the right speed? You know what I’m saying?”
We get the idea, as do avant-rave luminaries like Aphex Twin and Paradinas, who frequently spin Hellfish & Producer’s apocalyptic missives knowing full well that nothing damages a dancefloor with as much conviction. But can the authors of this deviant techno strain really claim to enjoy their twisted sound?
“I think it’s great,” asserts McMillan. “Use as many filthy words to describe it as you like, I love it. I believe in it so strongly because it has sustained me a living. It’s not like we do it because we want to or we like to, we do it because we have to. I have to output it in the computer and make that horrible noise.”
Hellfish & Producer: they are, always have been and always will be, hardcore.

Described as the Stanley Kubrick of electronic music, having not released an album in 9 years, Manchester’s Dylan Nathan a.k.a. Jega is finally set to release his brand new album “Variance” on the Planet Mu record label. In 2003 a draft version of the album was leaked onto the internet forcing Dylan to return to the drawing board and re-write vast chunks of the material. Since then factors outside music have meant Jega’s relocation from Manchester to New York and now LA, where he currently resides, and the delay of the project even further. The resulting double album, 18 tracks spread over two cds, bears little if any relation to the leaked material of so many years back.
The album is split into two 9 track journeys each given their own cd / LP. “Variance Volume 1” is the light, and “Variance Volume 2” the darkness. On Vol.1 beautiful synth arpeggios battle with sampled flutes and organic sounding hip hop and soul inspired breaks. On “Antiphon” a lone piano weaves around synthetic rhythms that sound like insects chirping and plastic sounding strings impart a real futuristic sheen to the song. The overall mood is one of joy and hope with many of the melodies featuring rising cadences of notes, resolving in the major. Vol2. is altogether starker. Starting with “Tensor” an electro-acoustic sound sculpture and building up into the dystopian melodies, electro beats and dubstep bass of “Shibuya”, In tracks like “Kyoto” and “Hydrodynamic” digital processing and harsh jungle breaks heighten the tempo and the mood towards the end of the disc.
Although Dylan’s discography is relatively short considering he has been in the game since 1996, it does include releases on Skam and two seminal breakthrough albums on Planet Mu. The single “Type Xer0 E.P.” and it’s follow up album “Spectrum” were what inspired Mike Paradinas a.k.a. µ-Ziq to start up the fledgling Planet Mu as an independent label in 1998, an achievement in itself that should not be overlooked. Dylan’s second album, 2000’s “Geometry”, went on to push his evolving sound from hardcore influenced melodica to futuristic techno inspired stark digital landscapes.
It has been a long nine years for many fans waiting for the follow-up with rare occasional live shows offering the only chance to hear new material.

Hrvatski (a.k.a. Keith Fullerton Whitman)’s sophomore album and debut for Planet Mu, Swarm & Dither, brings together much of Keith’s work done from 1999 -2002 including the much sought after kid606 Vatstep DSP “remix” for the first time on vinyl (not so much remix, as an entirely new track with a couple of kid606 samples); a cover version of Paint It Black done back in ’99 and a grungey version of some Swedish progg tune…
Ranging from early electronic (1948-1969) inspired electroacoustic drones to hyper cut-up and processed breakcore, Hrvatski’s sound sits well at his new home on Planet Mu. His previous album “Oiseaux 96-98” (released in 1998 on his own Reckankreuzungsklankewerkzeuge label) was received very well in both the electronic and dance music scenes and was voted #9 in The Wire Magazine’s year-end bests poll in the electronic music category. Keith has worked with or alongside many of the scene’s luminaries including Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo, Jim O’Rourke, Fennesz, Pan Sonic, Michael Karoli & Malcolm Mooney (Can), Oren Ambarchi, Labradford, Suicide, Christian Marclay, Anticon, V/Vm and more… Oh, and it’s a fucking great album too.

Ears pounding. Brain frying. Memory blanking. This. Hurts. Bad! Without doubt, the collaboration between Speedranch and Venetian Snares is the most violent, aggressive and loudest album to see the light in modern day 2001.
Making Orange Things is completely composed and constructed by swapping samples back and forth over ICQ, as Speedranch lives in England and Vsnares in Canada. The result isn’t any less devastating. Imagine Atari Teenage Riot. Imagine Merzbow. Now imagine Merzbow doing Atari, or vice versa. Now play a bit with the pitch, making it faster! faster! FASTER!. OK, you seem to be getting close to Making Orange Things.
Ranging between fucked up digital breakbeats (“Cheatin”, “We Hate Russell”) to noisier stuff (“Pay Me For Sex”, “Tushe Love”) to pure tekno/gabber (“Unborn Baby”) this is seriously demented stuff, at times approaching Dave Rodger’s Delta9 project but with more variation added. Vocals and samples are inspired by Jerry Springer, the artwork is very orange indeed and if you want to piss off your neighbours this is the album you MUST have.
10/10

Venetian Snares, aka Aaron Funk, has proven himself a mad genius of drill’n’bass with Songs About My Cats. It’s quite clear why Mike Paradinas, one of the genre’s pioneers and most masterful practitioners, has praised Funk left and right and released most of Funk’s recordings on his Planet µ label. Songs About My Cats is unrelenting in its use of distorted samples and massively twitchy digital electronic sounds that pummel a listener. But despite the wicked throttle of fuzzy, crunchy sounds and lightning-paced clicks and blips, every minute is thoroughly engrossing and somehow almost relaxing. It’s a sonic assault the likes of which Aphex Twin, Alec Empire, Kid 606, and Paradinas himself have been threatening to craft for years, but Funk takes it to a new level. There are melodies galore underneath the punishing noise-attack, and it’s abundantly clear that Funk has slaved over each second of the album, twisting each individual note into some strange beast. But Funk doesn’t resort to the usual loops and mathematical exercises of his peers, as there’s an improvisational jazz feel to a majority of the songs, though the music would qualify as jazz only on a heretofore undiscovered solar system. Machine-gun staccato freak-outs lurk around every corner, and tender melodies start up and then warp into disturbing noir bubblings that sound like soundtracks for nightmares. Songs About My Cats is a masterpiece, and though it’s bound to turn off many a listener, it’s a sadistic yet emotional experimental electronic experience that just might be the crowning achievement of its genre.

13. Hellfish feat. Mineral Rat - Pandora's Dirtbox (4:55)
This album rocks like a solid gold bastard. This is how Hardcore should be. It’s dirty and brutal to the nth degree. Hellfish will have you bouncing off the walls with this corrosive sonic collage.
Hardcore Techno has it’s origins in Hardcore Rave and Gabba – that wonderful amphetamines-only Dutch creation. The sound has much more of a Rap influence here though. So much for the lesson. I’ve heard me fair share of Hardcore Techno. It’s banging and it’s fast – 180+ bpm up all night Gabba territory – but, well … it isn’t a patch on this. Hellfish sticks his fingers down Hardcore’s throat and makes it regurgitate itself. If anything deserves to be called hardcore it’s Meat Machine Broadcast System. In my opinion Hellfish is up there with Alec Empire – a much more meaningful comparison that whistle blowing Hardcore or cheesy Rotterdam Gabba. If you’ve already heard Hellfish, or heard some of the stuff out there on his label Deathchant Records you’ll know what I mean, and if you haven’t, then get this album and blow yer ears off.

Rude, crude and thoroughly offensive to any given set of senses and sensibilities, “Broken” blasts in straight from the hip to shove the hipsters against the wall in a blistering dose of breakbeat roughage. Spluttering with stadium-ravaging noise and ripped through with a twisted sense of obscene humour, there’s much to enjoy on this record – provided getting repeatedly slammed about the eardrums at queasy velocities while an aphasiac DJ on a tremendous crystal meth jag is busily hurling records down a helter skelter is what makes the evening flow…
Somewhere between avant-hard endurance test and the ridiculous extremes of sampling frenzy pulverised into nearly unlistenable grind, “Broken” wrenches musical guts with a perverted delight in making the ears bleed and the bowels tremble. Jazz, funk, disco, punk, spoken word and fragments of who knows what source material are rendered, flensed and hammered flat in an unholy hyperactive tussle approximating the collision-course mixing methodology of Cobra Killer, Shizuo and The Jack Officers: only much nastier. A switchback scattering of rants, electronic screeches and turntable rewinds struggle to be heard while an endlessly unfolding supply of crunchy, harder-than-Digital Hardcore beats and broken musical bones pound home the message – ugly is the new beautiful sound, almost by default. Never mind raging against the machine, this record comes straight from the poltergeist deep inside its heart, writhing and squirming with an inventive invective guaranteed to offend almost every listener on at least one level; and it’s great.

Tatsuya Yoshida’s ode to a Japanese theme park is a delightful masterpiece. Yoshida constantly shifts from genre to genre, employing a mind-bending number of musical styles and hybrids. Symphonic strings, optimistic electronic tones, synthetic singing saws, fractured feedback, live-wire drums, and madcap lo-fi beeps and beats are the primary ingredients. It’s what Yoshida does with these ingredients that makes his music so magical. The bubbly punch of “Exhausted Machine” is fitted with massive, excellent clicks and clatter, yet the song seems classically refined despite its raging roboticism and fluttering bass heart. “Brown Skywalker” feels like the work of a video-game theme composer from the future. It’s a cool, sprightly Zelda-esque jaunt that’s fit with blindingly bold melodies that rocket every which way. The evocative, calm gurgling of “It’s Next Step Toward Nothing” is so mournful that it could induce tears. The title song and “Incredible Journey in My Flying Saucer” are impossibly sweet, sunny, and touching. “March of the DIO” builds feedback, distortion, and racing keyboard notes into a lush, gorgeous stormer of a song. As playful and funky as the sonic trickery of Cornelius, as complex and melodic as the brilliant IDM of Mike Paradinas, and as emotionally sweeping as the finest compositions of classicists Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, the songs of Dreamland Idle Orchestra seem capable of inspiring a new generation of gadget-loving composers. There’s genius around every turn of this imaginative, superb album.

With Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits, 1972-2006, Venetian Snares (aka Aaron Funk) seems to be trying to mix every possible musical style with his own trademark drill’n’bass. Ornate Asian instrumentals mingle freely with a female opera vocalist’s tender tones, a dub toaster shouts and laughs over warped, rapid beats, a jazz band warms up under funky, shuffling Jake Slazenger-style electronica, a lone clarinet cries out through punishing sound effects. But for every track that seeks a fusion of musical styles, there’s another track where Funk seems to be simply repeating past glories. Having already released near genre-defining albums of drill’n’bass, it’s difficult to recommend the songs here that strive for all-out noise. The melodies in the noise-fests aren’t as interesting or as pleasing as those on Songs About My Cats. But the highlights save the album. Opener “Dance Like You’re Selling Nails” is immensely refreshing with its mix of exotic instruments and opera vocals. The strings and bass of “We Are Oceans” might owe a huge debt to Squarepusher, but the song is fitted with a grace that Tom Jenkinson rarely achieves. Higgins feels like a transition album for Funk, where he can’t decide if he wants to bring the noise or explore a more classical style. While there is a sense that a musical identity crisis is in effect, the refined touches and traditional musical elements here might signal that Funk is growing at least somewhat tired of harsh experimentation. Even though the album is stunningly beautiful at times, one gets the sense that Venetian Snares has even more inspired sounds up his sleeves.

‘The Housebound Spirit’ is the third album from London-based acousmatic composer and Brick Lane ‘face’ John Burton. Very emotional electro-acoustic/computer music in the vein of Parmegiani and Jim O’Rourke mixed with heartfelt folk inspired by Palace Brothers among others. This is very melodic, sensitive and dynamic, not a glitch-fest. John has performed at many electronic music festivals worldwide since his debut ‘Concourse’ in 2000. This album was previewed by a track on the Wire’s 20th Anniversary issue covermount cd, from which he has received many comminsions of work. Follow up to his classic cd ‘Microcontact’

Honouring his 3 albums in a year pledge Aaron Funk delivers what is his most mature album yet. Gone are the “breakcore” styles of some of his more abrasive early material to be replaced by a dark thoughtful edge. The rhythmic playfullness (and what some would call complexity) are still there but allied to a strong emotional content dealing with relationships, death and rebirth. Venetian Snares is becoming one of the most talked about new artists in the genre and this album fullfils the hype. The opening track “Dad” contains Aaron’s first full vocal performance and explores his feelings towards his late father. There is also a cover version of The Misfits “She” with Aaron doing a fine approximation of Glenn Danzig. With the sleeve by cult artist Trevor Brown.

Debut full length from Orange County’s Alex Graham (who has released on Tigerbeat6/City Centre Offices/Merck/Pitchcadet etc.). Fulfils the promise of his early EPs on Isophlux (Oh Here’s Some Noises in 1997) and Orange (Double Density EP in 1999) with his most fully realised compositions yet. Classical overtones and glitched pseudo-breaks trade off against MBV ‘Loveless’ style fuzzy distorted chords. The finest moments in electronic beauty.

11. µ-Ziq - Fall of Antioch (2:04)
12. µ-Ziq - My Mengegus (6:57)
An amazing return to form – 12 tracks consisting of hard cut-up breaks influenced electronics, distorted washes of melodic detritus and occasional serene ambience; all harking back to his various pasts (the track ‘Meinheld’ for instance recalls ’97’s ‘Lunatic Harness’ and ‘My Mengegus’ would sound like it was lifted off 1993’s ‘Tango N’Vectif’ were it not for the give-away of digital plug-ins. However, much of the album charts new territory for Paradinas, like the opening track ‘Johnny Mastricht’ which is inspired by the 2-step garage sound, but with Mike’s own trademark melodic sensibilities taking the place of the bass and the ‘Grape Nut beats’ duo of tracks which mix 6/8 gabber-techno; old skool rave and nu-skool breaks with speed garage basslines and jungle drums. ‘On?Off’ features the vocals of Mike Dykehouse (another Planet Mu artist) embellishing a dirty-bass electroish anthem. It is officially the sixth µ-Ziq album.

“Mi^grate is a descending missile of sound aligned with a collision course that takes you via a maze of sci-fi scrambled data and dysfunctional torture without making you physically bleed.”
“Mi^grate is a crossroad beyond biological and technological fusion; it’s a beacon leading us into the mass noise of the likes of Masonna & Merzbow.”
Paul Richard aka Speedranch has been an extreme person experimenting with breaks, noise, illbient and sonics for well over a decade. His past is peppered with punk, noise, doom, stoner rock, glam rock, ambient, Kiss and much, much more. He has developed creative releationships with some of the most respected punk and new metal bands – The Hardons, Old Lady Driver, Isis, The Clash, etc. His most recent collaboration with Venetian Snares has smashed preconceptions and crossed boundaries; his record being played by IDM and metal kids the world over. His new high-speed metal project Phantomsmasher (Hydrahead/Ipecac) has also helped to bridge the gaop between electronica and metal. Speedranch seems to be singlehandedly focusing the development and combination of these two very different genres and the splice seems to be working, so much so that he is rumoured to be collaborating with Mike Patton, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Melt Banana and The Clash.
Jansky Noise is 29 year old Andy MacGregor from Manchester. The name Jansky comes from his great grandfather the astronomer Karl Jansky who discovered radio waves and the sound of the planets. At the tender age of 13 Jansky Noise became a DJ in his hometown Manchester playing the techno circuit with household name DJs. He quickly realised that DJing was restrictive and being a minimalist moved onto the studio where he developed a more advanced aesthetic in which hundreds of digitally recorded instrumentals and performances could be combined in multiple layers. This process of sonic layering has been a trademark of Jansky Noise ever since. He has also remixed and collaborated with Joy Division, Techno Animal, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Aphex Twin, Christian Marclay, Sonic Youth and many more. He is a leading agent in the experimental label V/Vm Test Records and has performed and toured in America and Europe appearing on the front cover of The Wire magazine in 1998 and on the front of Blow Up (Italy).

Aaron Funk delivers once again for Planet Mu. For those who enjoyed “Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006” – this is the stylistic follow-up – full-on punk-rave jungle breakz with lots and lots of pop sampling attitude in 7/8 (and 5/4).
As well as the classic single: “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” with its funk guitar, sci-fi vocals and salsa trumpets, the album is also choc-full (ho) of other poptastic delights. Such as the shouty post-punk vocal hooks of “Abomination Street” whose melody is based on the TV theme of a well known & long-running Manchester soap opera; or Too Young – a glitch-hop reworking of the Motley Crue hit. “Hand Throw” – in which a gruff (Belgian) MC shouts out to “Antwerp massive”… or “Epidermis” in which another more tremulous post-punk chanteuse pairs up with spooky drexciyan chords, titanium breaks and a buzzing reese bass. The album concludes with Aaron’s most daring de-construction of the amen break yet – “Herbie Goes Ballistic” with a guest performance from the little VW beetle who cared.

Occupying an increasingly over-populated territory, “Upon Cycles” is a rare commodity – electronica that remains enjoyable and engaging throughout, rather than leaving the listener feeling jaded. Surely the most prolific leftfield label in terms of output and one of the most consistent in terms of quality, Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu imprint remains two steps ahead of the majority of it’s peers, and this is partly due to their ability to unearth new talent – in fact, it could be argued that the last actual U-Ziq album (“Bilious Paths”) was one of the biggest let-downs in recent times.
OOO is the pseudonym-of-sorts of Detroit’s Nicholas C. Raftis III (contrasting in length but equally bizarre), and his knack for creating refined, emotive techno ensures that the 16 tracks herein pass without ever being derivative or generic. Comparisons would be futile, as all electronica artists get compared to either BOC or Aphex, and to do that would be selling this short – hence it being a thoroughly worthy release rather than just another tired and pointless exercise.

Planet Mu are more than proud to be releasing the first ever re-issue jungle ‘artist album’ – by the legendary junglist Remarc. We feel that the ’95 era ‘cut-up breaks’ and ‘ragga’ sound is making a resurgence in the scene thanks to DJs such as Bailey, Hype & others.. as well as being very popular as an influence on the ‘drill’n’bass’ scene and artists such as Squarepusher and Aphex Twin.
The album compiles 12 jungle rhythms from the ’93-’97 era licensed from Suburban Base, Kemet, Labello, White House and Dollar records which are becoming increasingly hard to find in good condition. Many of these tracks are being released for the first time in digital format – on cd.
A prelude to the forthcoming album of unreleased Remarc dubplates from ’94-’97 coming early next year.

Following hot on the heels of the massive success that was ‘Sound Murderer’ – a collection of Remarc’s jungle classics, Planet Mu brings you the awesome sequel – ‘Unreleased Dubs ’94-’96’. The title says it all – 11 previously unreleased stone-cold classic cuts by the ultimate don of the Amen break – the man like Remarc. Many of these dubplates were rinsed back in the day by DJs like Hype , Shy FX and Remarc himself, but for some reason remained unreleased until now.
These tracks document a time of change in drum & bass – from the last embers of hardcore’s fire in the heyday of jungle to the birth of drum & bass and the jump-up style.
1994’s ‘Ricky (Remarc VIP Mix)’ cuts up and junglizes Remarc + Lewi’s original hardcore classic into a jumpier, more amphetimine-fuelled amen beast while still retaining the original’s atmosphere between jittery funk and fear. 1995’s ‘Suicidal’ and ‘In Da Hood’ anticipate jump-up’s obsession with hip-hop samples, but still keep the cut-up amen funk, combining it with billowing sub bass and g-funk whines. Early ’95’s ‘Bad No Bloodclart’ was intended as a follow-up to ‘R.I.P.’ and posseses the same dangerous ragga vibe and yard-tape atmosphere with possibly the most funked and shredded Amen sample in a jungle track ever.
Other coups are the unreleased Remarc remix of Prizna & Demolition Man’s classic ragga jungle hit ‘Fire’ and Remarc’s finest ever mellow moment ‘Andre’s Dream’ written for his young son in ’95. With it’s stark minimal piano and strings vibe it creates an atmosphere not unlike early Strictly Rhythm 12″s, and not an amen in earshot.
The album displays Remarc’s versatility as a producer within the genre, as well as the change in sound between those years, ending as it does with 1996’s ‘Darkaworld’ – a proto-techstep monster with filtered amen and sci-fi FX, and ‘Da Drumz‘ – which displays Remarc’s canny way with pitch-bent sub bass and breakneck jump-up breaks.

Debut album from Los Angeles Edward Ma: Ed Ma’s first album as edIT features tracks that have been painstakingly sequenced, hiphop that takes glitchiness to the extreme. The style of the album takes cues from Prefuse 73, but taken to another level. Yet it is not really the tricky programming that really pops out at you – it’s the soulfulness and smoothness with which each track is glued together from extremely small snippets of sound. The opener features an electric piano first noodling then exploding into a shower of digital particles, It’s all put together with the ear of an expert artist. Guitars peek around the edge of many of the pieces, and there is a homage to both underground beats and more g-orientated swissbeatz styles going on. Perhaps the album’s only shortcoming is its relentless pace of all things digital and beautiful, that can be almost too much to bear. Crying over pros for no reason is emotional, instrumental hiphop at its finest – looking forward with its digital edge but also beating with a warm analog heart.

Datachi’s third album is by far his best. Moving away from the more impressionistic drill’n’splatter ofhis first 2 albums for New York’s Caipirinha label, Joseph Fraioli has honed his sound into something sharper and far more dangerous. The album is a dark opus, yet it’s textures are pliable letting you work your way inside the sound. Layers of analogue drums form the base of his tapestry of chanting male choirs and musique concrete ‘shiver stabs’. Another winner from Planet Mu.

Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding is all fizzing, hyperspeed percussion moving over and under one-finger toystore melodies, stop/start rhythms, sudden switchbacks and shifting layers of musical/percussive activity. Every sound appears to contain a toxic quota of synthetic additives, frequently to the exclusion of anything else.
Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding inhabits an entirely synthetic world, one that’s made of numbered polymers rather than atoms. Despite the titles, this music isn’t allusive: it is self-contained, seemingly self-perpetuating like a series of virtual mechanisms, elegant sci-fi constructions, the musical envisioning of shifting nano-technological gears. There’s something mad-scientist/hare-brained baroque about it.
Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding is a hypertrophied soundgarden overgrown with dayglo plastic plants twitching towards miscellaneous light sources in photosynthetic spasm, their roots a writhing and constantly reconfiguring chaos. Its title is reminiscent of Duchamp’s Nude Descending A Staircase.

Shitmat’s concept album of versions in the ‘Babylon/Breakcore’ theme and the follow-up to his warmly received seven inch single “Shopliftin’ Gabba” (3 plays on Peel and 1 on Breezeblock). Shitmat’s long-awaited debut album is a propa’ mashup ragga-rave dubplate bloodclot jungle tekno tour-de-force. Featuring 10 tracks using the ‘Babylon Bwoy’ acapella to devastating effect over rhythms such as ‘Amen Brother’, ‘Think (About It)’, ‘Theme From Benny Hill’ and ‘Eye OF The Tiger’. Shitmat (aka Henry Collins) has risen to the upper echelons of the Breakcore firmament after playing his legendary liveset at literally tens of free parties and raves over the past year and a half.

New album from Mike Paradinas aka µ-Ziq (Virgin/Warp/Rephlex).
A trawl of the DAT archives for lost classics and amazing heartfelt electronic vignettes.
Off-kilter melodies and subtle rhythms interact with abrasive, yet calming textures to create this moreish follow-up to Mike’s last album as Kid Spatula, 2000’s “Full Sunken Breaks”.
This archive collection dates from between 1994 and 1998 and includes tracks from the periods when he was writing such classic albums as “In Pine Effect”, “Lunatic Harness” and “Royal Astronomy”.
Mike owns and runs Planet Mu records and his last album as µ-Ziq, “Bilious Paths” (Planet Mu/July 2003) has sold over thirteen thousand copies worldwide so far.

13. Julian Fane - Joyce Lang (4:26)
The astounding debut album from Vancouver’s 21 year old Julian Fane. Usually you wouldn’t expect an album of this diversity to come from someone so young, but that fact also gives this disc it’s freshness and vitality.
One minute it’s vocal songs in the epic style of The Flaming Lips Radiohead or Sigur Ros, the next it’s noises and bleeps a la Aphex, Lalo Puna or Fourtet. It’s not surprising then that Julian is into anything that resonates with me emotionally; from Neutral Milk Hotel to Dntel to Godspeed You Black Emperor to The Smiths or Cannibal Ox’.
‘Special Forces’ is an album that sounds like it’s as much as electronic record as one played on acoustic or real instruments Julian explains, “Often times something that sounds synthesized started life as an acoustic sound. A lot of the strings are real but have been processed to such a degree they sound synthesized”.
An amazingly accessible album of epic songs and exotic atmospheres that will not fail to connect emotionally with everyone.

Debut album from Blackpool’s Chevron (aka Jonathan Valentine – released on Valentine’s day naturally). Melodic breakcore, poppy 2-step and cartoon jungle make this the most upfront album yet from the breakcore scene. Quite a few vocal tracks litter the album and remind one of Mouse On Mars’ earlier period, but with a strong rave and Belgian hardcore influence. reference points: Acen, T99, Vsnares, Kate Bush.

For his second album, Portsmouth’s Chris Reeves plies us with more unsettling moods and weird insect-like skittering percussion. Chock full of strange atmospheres and oblique 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, early 90s breakbeat hardcore and The Cardiacs.

Some of the most listenable and melodic work yet from LA’s Phthalocyanine. Bringing in slight rave and hardcore flavours to his off-kilter, harmonically ‘wrong’ melody clusters. Like hearing slabs of jazz noise though pastoral electronica with waves of Gabber and Belgian Techno fighting spidery distorted rhythms and breaks.
This is the second album by Dimitri Fergadis on Planet Mu, the follow up to 2000’s “25 Tracks Fer 1 Track”.

Notes
P & C 2005 Planet Mu Records Ltd.
Made in England.
Comes in a standard jewel case with a 4-page booklet.
Tracks 1 and 11 are spelled on the back cover of the album with a symbol similar to the mathematical sign "therefore" (∴) rather than the tréma (¨) over the 'e'.
