So i was wondering with Planet Mu about to release 3 big dubstep 12"s and getting more involved in the scene, who on here listens to the other stuff on Planet Mu???

yeah.. one of the most consistnetly forward thinking labels around.. moving with the times and forming them. and no stylistic restrictions.

Venetian Snares is my favourite mu artist.

he's released 9-odd albums of virtually unlistenable breakcore in 7/5 time signatures, then produces an album of stunning musical skill and beauty, "Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett"... that pretty much sums up the last 10 years of electronic music for me!

plus he's got massive dreads!

there's so much other good stuff on mu that paradinas has uncovered, it doesn't surprise me that he's really into dubstep as well...

He's very firmly on the rails, as Warp falls off them big time!

Hehehe...Very true

Definitely going to be a big year for Planet Mu, and it looks like it may be a decent year for Rephlex too.

I've only posted on here a little bit but it seems to me that people on here all seem to be into more than just dubstep. Which i think is great for the music and the scene itself...

I tried, I really did. They have their style down definately, but I've never really dug it. Too IDM-y for me.

This is probably a daft question so feel free to laugh

Is Planet Mu run (or was it ever run) by Mu-siq (I dont have the right keyboard to put the funky letter he uses instead of the M and u) also previously known as Jake Slazenger (when making house)??????
Just curious

Yeh - Mike Paradinas.

He is playing live as U-Ziq at Bangface this month if anyone wants to check him out.

Yes its run by the man himself. Think he even released a 12 on that label last year.

I guess they release the type of music you either love or you hate.

Indeed big up to Planet Mu.

I'm really diggin the hardcore stuff they're pushing out, like Hellfish n friends. Not to mention Jega, Vsnares, eDIT, Capitol K, Dykehouse, Hrvatski...

Many essential releases in terms of contemporary electronic music.

Don't forget Remarc & Bizzy B.

They got 2 new promo Mu releases in today at Boomkat. Looks interesting....

µ-Ziq's stuff always done my head in as well. Some of the stuff he released on Virgin was pretty bad. Pity, cause his first album was an utter stunner. There are some good tracks on the new album - the opener is a belter, but then he always fucks them up halfway through with those dumb basslines he uses.

Grrr.

Rant over.

Do you mean Tango n Vectif? Fuck me how long ago did that come out? Saw him play a couple of times back then, once in a pub in Finsbury Park and maybe Astoria - good times I recall

Tango n' Vectif was... 1993 I think. Yeah, back in the day. That and the remixes of The Auteurs he did are his best efforts by far.

Seeing him in a pub doing a T n' V set would have been ace. I was only 12 at the time though, and probably not even able to see over the bar, let alone get served.

Easily my favourite label:

Lots of favourites

Venetian Snares - Einstein-Rosenborg Bridge and the rest of chocolate wheelchair and rosillz whatever albums

chevron - everything remains the same
exile - the 12" with John B and his album
bizzy b - science vols 3 & 4
remarc - both LPs
shitmat - killababylonkutz
8fm - e.p
vex'd - er, obviously?

and loads more I can't remember
