Mike Paradinas founded his Planet-Mu label in 1995. In addition to releasing his own work under the moniker u-Ziq, the label also features artists such as Jega, Venetian Snares, and Luke Vibert. Paradinas collaborated with Aphex Twin on the 1996 album “Expert Knob Twiddlers.” Since then, he has gone on to make what seems like hundreds of brilliant IDM albums, but is probably closer to about seventeen. His latest, “Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devistation Technique,” is a bit mellower than some of his previous efforts, but no less commanding of attention. The absence of unmitigated noise leaves room for dense layers of sound – a great album to listen to on headphones while daydreaming, or really really loud on a good home or car stereo system. Check out one of my favorite tracks, "2CV," and then get your own copy for just $14.99.
