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.

1977

µ-Ziq - 1977 [BALMAT05]

Montreal, Quebec. A vast, adorned studio—an after-midnight sanctuary for the MOAB collective. Outside, winter carves its presence, the snow piling high against the factory’s walls. Inside, time dissolves into a sprawling, 24-hour reverie—music unfolding in an endless current, every moment captured, distilled, refined.
MOAB is a Montreal-based collective that embraces improvisation as its guiding force. Long, unbroken sessions where intuition eclipses thought, and where the body moves before the mind.
This is their first offering, released on Knekelhuis. A document of instinct, frozen in time yet endlessly shifting.

SHAPE+: Ha Kyoon (25/05/25)

Ten years of anything in the music world is an achievement, especially with the surfeit of choice and fatiguing overload of our digital attention spans. Blink and you’ll miss it announcements swallowed up by the algorithm, incessant PR mail-outs and Bandcamp/Soundcloud feed uploads all struggling to compete. Labels like GOST ZVUK show the merit in quietly doing your thing. For the last decade they have been working with an ever-expanding group of core producers and, importantly, friends to showcase a modern world of collaborators informed by the roots of styles as diverse as hip-hop, ambient, nostalgic library sounds and classic dance music.

What they present in celebration of this landmark is a 4xLP compilation which unfolds across a thrillingly disorientating, attentive and sonically psychedelic 120 minutes. The variety of the collection draws from far and wide, from the decaying choral vocals and cinematic string timbres of Batsqueak’s ‘fm2shelter’ to the kosmiche droning synthesisers of Moscow duo S A D or Hoavi’s frantic, scattered poly-rhythms. Refined, complex sound design awash with field recordings and the storytelling of Sasha Hilko on Ilya Vlasenko’s impressive ‘untitled’ contrasts with playful rhythm-box R&B loops courtesy of DX20V. Lengthy jazz-funk stylings from Piramyds of Ural flow into phaser-heavy cosmic space rock from Atal, loose, sun-kissed dub experiments brush shoulders with Mills-esque ambient techno loops. Label regulars such as Oleg Buyanov (OL), Nocow and Lapti appear amongst a vast array of newcomers from the Russian underground, all finding their place in the compilation.

The sequencing work of label owners Ildar Zaynetdinov and Flaty threads a narrative for each vinyl side, carefully chosen with the medium in mind. Transitions between the likes of Stas Karpenkov’s ‘WORLD’ and ‘Material Fatigue’ by Gamayun or the timbre and mood shared on Ясень’s ‘Уходишь Ты’ and Kedr Livanskiy’s ‘Trees in the Shadow’, the latter a spectral pop ballad drowned in reverb, show the attention to detail and care put into the project. You could land at any point in the collection and draw parallels, though, regardless of order.

There is an overarching identity now running through the label's evolution, from the house and techno beginnings to the more abstract forms of later LP releases and now all tied together with this celebration of a decade in the game. In a way, genre and form are disregarded for a sense of collective feeling.
