21 Savage - No Heart (icky flip)

When we established Balmat in 2021, neither of us could have imagined that within two years, we’d be putting out an album by one of our musical heroes: Mike Paradinas (@mikep), aka µ-Ziq. The British producer has been an inspiration to label co-founders Albert Salinas and Philip Sherburne since the 1990s. In fact, his album-length remix project The Auteurs Vs µ-Ziq was one of the very first pieces of electronic music that Philip bought, way back in 1994. To have the opportunity to release his music now feels like a real full-circle moment. 

Paradinas, of course, needs no introduction. Under a slew of aliases, chief among them µ-Ziq, the British artist revolutionized leftfield electronic music in the 1990s—coincidentally, this year marks the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Tango N’ Vectif, for his friend and sometime collaborator Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label—and his label Planet Mu (@planetmurecords) has built up a formidable catalog of visionary, forward-looking records, mapping virtually every corner of the electronic spectrum. With 1977, he turns the clock backward in a sense, and not just with the album’s title: Rooted in classic ambient and electronic sounds, these 15 tracks evoke the anything-goes spirit of the early ’90s, before the tools and tropes had calcified into cut-and-dried styles.

There’s no shortage of familiar sounds on 1977. There are echoes of raves and chillout rooms and transmissions from the fringes of techno; there are detuned synths and glistening reverb tails and, above all, gauzy vox pads, the eerie glue that holds it all together. The title, he says, is meant to invoke a general sense of nostalgia, bookmarking a year in his boyhood when he became more self-aware. More than anything, 1977 sounds like µ-Ziq distilled: Stripped of his signature breakbeats and customary chaos, Paradinas’ first-ever strictly (well, mostly) ambient album presents the essence of his music in a whole new light.

Along the way Paradinas touches on dark-ambient drones (“Marmite”), horror-film themes (“Belt & Carpet”), jungle breaks (“Mesolithic Jungle”), and even house music (“Houzz 13”), which marks the first bona fide dance-floor moment on Balmat to date). Yet the album never—to our ears, anyway—feels expressly retro. Rather, Paradinas plucks timeless sounds out of the ether and gives them a gentle tap, spinning them into unexpected new orbits. At times, 1977 feels like an experience of extended déjà vu: When we first listened to it, we had the sense that we already knew this music. It was as though we had heard it years ago, perhaps on a battered cassette tape lent to us by a friend, and been searching for it ever since. We hope you feel the same.

________________________________________________

Voy a beber la venganza en una copa y sin verguenza
un trago por cada madre, por las que si tuvieron paciencia
un sorbo atragantado que sacie el morbo de verte ahogado
asfixiado en el estanque de tu ego destrozado

Y aunque esta batalla esté en desventaja
apuntaste a mi cora y yo que me dejé
por dartelo todo todo me quedé sin nada
me rompiste la cara, mi cara, mi cara.

Abrazados, tu recuerdo en mi pecho está tatuado
como fuego entre mis brazos, hoy cenizas del pasado
tengo claro, que la vida de este amor nunca fue en vano
te di lo mejor de mi, y lo que doy es sin reparo
abusaste, de mi generosidad y me atrapaste
por el cuello y contra el piso mucha sangre derramaste
y me juraste, por tu vida que ahora solo ibas a amarme
pero yo te juro que voy a matarte.

El peso de tu cuerpo se quiebra con una palabra
puedo destruirte sin mancharme las manos
El peso de tu cuerpo se quiebra con una palabra
puedo destruirte sin manchar mis manos
El peso de tu cuerpo se quiebra con una palabra
puedo destruirte sin mancharme las manos
El peso de tu cuerpo se quiebra con una palabra
puedo destruirte sin mancharme




Voy a beber la venganza en una copa y sin verguenza
un trago por cada madre, un sorbo atragantado
Voy a beber la venganza en una copa y sin verguenza
un trago por cada madre, un sorbo atragantado
Voy a beber la venganza en una copa y sin verguenza
un trago por cada madre, un sorbo atragantado
Un sorbo atragantado que sacie el morbo de verte ahogado
asfixiado en el estanque

Tengo claro que la vida de este amor nunca fue en vano

Abusaste, de mi generosidad y me atrapaste
por el cuello y contra el piso mucha sangre derramaste
Me juraste, por tu vida que ahora solo ibas a amarme
pero yo te juro que voy a matarte.

Evian Christ feat. Bladee - Yxguden (qqaame remix)

This EP is the result of a long-standing creative exchange between ArpXP and Was A Be – a process that unfolded over the years in a spontaneous, unstructured way, capturing the spirit of the moment rather than following a rigid plan.

These tracks are not the pair’s first collaborations; the two artists have been close friends for many years. Each piece was born in different circumstances and under different inspirations, but they evolved gradually, reshaped and fine-tuned through countless tests on the dancefloor.

ArpXP is among the first Italian DJs and producers to break into the international drum & bass circuit. Since the early 2000s, first with his project S.M.O.K.E. and later as a solo artist, he has released on iconic imprints such as Metalheadz and many more. He is also one of the driving forces behind the renowned SUNANDBASS Festival, where he curates the label SUNANDBASS Recordings.

Was A Be, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the Italian scene. Known for his eclectic and boundary-pushing style, he has released music on some of the most respected labels in the game, including Subtitles, Critical, Shogun, Gutterfunk and Neosignal.
