Recording of Simo Cell's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Simo Cell: "It's 7pm, and I have 5 missed calls on my phone: 'We're expecting massive rain tonight and we will have to close your stage earlier, is it okay for you to play earlier?' No time to stress and to think about it. I left my place and started my set straight away. From a few people to a packed dancefloor, I built up slowly from 90bpm to 160bpm (you know the drill). Pretty happy about the progression of the set and the rise in intensity. In the end, the crowd turned into a mosh pit on XXXtentacion and I had the best time behind the decks. It's good when things sometimes happen spontaneously like that. And it didn't rain after all."

Planet Mu are very proud to be linking up with The Vinyl Factory who are releasing an 18 track 3x12" edition of µ20 which you can pre-order here: 

3xCD+ Book boxset and 2CD available to pre-order here: http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ370

Planet Mu is a label that has always survived on its own very independent terms. For 20 years it's existed both on the fringes and in the centre of emerging electronic music, from IDM and breakcore to dubstep and grime and lately to footwork, which it took a chance on, opening it up to the world through the two Bangs & Works compilations. It also has a strong history of connecting the dots in between those genres by supporting idiosyncratic artists, from label stalwart Venetian Snares to Kuedo, Machinedrum, Boxcutter, Vex'd, Falty DL, Luke Vibert, Ital, Jlin and Mr. Mitch to name just a few.

Run by Mike Paradinas, who under the name µ-Ziq was one of the first wave of producers pushing the musical envelope in the wake of house and techno's initial burst of inspiration, Planet Mu is an established engine of creativity and enquiry, with one foot in the pop world, and a sense of fun that never lets its experimentation disappear into exclusivity and snobbery.  

To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Planet Mu have organised a 50-track, triple CD compilation of both old and new unreleased tracks and remixes packaged in a deluxe dvd-style boxset complete with a 110 page book charting the history of the label, with insight from artists and staff, written by electronic music writer Rory Gibb. 

The music on CDs one and two is mainly from the current decade, with contributions from Kuedo, Machinedrum, John Wizards, Ital Tek, Remarc, Boxcutter, RP Boo, John T. Gast, Jlin and new signing Herva to name but a few. They're colourful, broad and adventurous rides across the roster that will impress and excite any fan of electronic music and are a strong reminder of the consistent quality and broad mindedness of the label too. 

CD three features more of the older guard, dipping back into the roster from the late nineties and early 2000s with a range of noisier, knottier contributions from artists including Jega, Neil Landstrumm, Speedy J, Shitmat, Leafcutter John, Hellfish, Datach'i and Hrvatski, it's the perfect compilation for hardcore fans and a brilliant and friendly introduction to the label for curious newcomers too.

Machinedrum - Le Ol Skool  (2011)

Quatre Bras, the follow-up to Scatterbrain’s debut EP Ghost Gum, sees the Sydney artist flirt with house and techno while retaining his flair for deeply layered sample collage and rhythmic interplay. Kiri Cantle returns once again with a vocal performance that matches the effervescent production of the title track. Back on remix duties, JV brings his raw junglist flex to round out the release.

Milk Thistle Records is dedicated to creating and exploring textural sonic environments in a broad range of musical styles.

KLIENT
‘SEPHIROTH’
[ BOSS MODE / CAT # BOSS5 ]

RELEASED 19/05/2017

From the makers of Slime Recordings comes a little label for loud music – BOSS MODE.

With a focus on bass-heavy sounds from all genres, the imprint returns for Season Two after an incredible first year of monster releases from KLIENT, HYPHO, JOEDAN and NEGATIV. For the first release of 2017 we double down with the Scottish & Polish powerhouse duo KLIENT returning to deliver their unique take on bass-heavy club destruction. 

‘Sephiroth’ sees them team up with respected producer ARKA for this darkly malevolent love letter to the most infamous of all video game bosses. Utilising choice snippets of dialogue against a blistering half-step rhythm, the track builds from sinister beginnings into a tormenting bass salvo that will leave mild-mannered clubbers questioning their own sanity. 

On the digital flip ‘Creed’ provides an equally punishing workout for your speakers, combining staccato percussion and a bassline purposely designed with the malicious intent of splitting your chestplate in half.

Release Date - 28th August 2017
Artwork - @Ghaastly

I've had my eye on Jake bob for some time now. A DJ, Producer and MC from Leominster. His work-rate is exceptional both lacing vocals onto tunes and  producing tracks at an alarming rate. 'Like It Raw' is a tribute to the late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard. Its a fast, skippy refix and almost sounds like a jungle track at times, big big refix from Jakebob. He was featured in one of Magnetic Magazine's grime articles at the start of the year with his track badderz, make sure you go have a read and listen.

Look out for @strictly140's debut E.P. (STRCT001) [The Brass E.P.] featuring @rakjayuk - @filthy-gears - @creep-n00m and @joe-browne-1 (Riknor) being released mid-september, a 4 track grime instrumental E.P. where the theme of each track is dark brass. Soon come.

Release Date - 8th September 2017
Promotion - @strictly140

This ones an absolute percy, from start to finish its just pure vibes. The intro starts with a proper atmospheric feel. Then the female vocals groan into play with a dull, sluggish drum tap. Leading on from that some skippy jungle drums gear up, leading the way towards the drop. When it comes your still not quite ready for it. Low end sub bass reverberates out over the skippy drum beat. Massive release from @rarefied_uk.

@figures-of-eighty @brokensyndicate

Figures Of Eighty punch themselves forcibly onto scene with their debut tune on BRØKEN, "Arches." The track features dark basslines and a masterful blend between halftime and jungle riddims. FOE firmly plants one foot in history and one far into a dystopian future, bridging various styles of bass music into one smashing record. DJ Mag Bass single-of-the-month for September. 9.5/10

Mofaux adds the nastiest garage bass production to "Succarath". And if that's not enough Soundboy closes the show with mean and moody switch that rips between cavernous 4/4s and a gnarly break on the drop.
