Planet Mu 30
Boomkat Product Review:
A host of class club mutants - from Venetian Snares to slikback, RP Boo and Nik Colk Void - mark 30 years of Planet µ via 25 cuts of restive electronic rhythm and tone spanning footwork, braindance, breakcore, industrial experiments and more.
Planet µ always seem to be marking some anniversary or other, which is probably testament to their enduring role in modern electronic music as much as our realisation of mortality. Their 30th birthday hoe-down herds artists from all nodes of the electronic rhizome to prove, where needed, the label’s diversity and shared thrust, and enduring relevance against the grain of commercial pap pushed by algorithms with bad ulterior motives.
The footwork haul is prevalent and exemplary, hailing Jlin on a ‘B12’ fizzing with jazz ingenuity, and taking in the sound’s pioneers such as Traxman with the funky ‘Ace Boogie’, RP Boo in the hard pointillism of ‘No Return 2’, plus their stylistic descendent in DJ Manny with a juke-jungle zinger or Elmoe on the floating, tip-toed percolator ‘Battle Zone’, whilst Jana Rush whips it wickedly weird with ‘Cruisin’ on Lake Shore Drive’.
As ever, the label highlight newer blood to the label from more mutant integers with Nondi_’s lushly uneasy ‘Worrygirl’, a gunky melange of trap and warped electronica by manchester’s Ship Sket, the melodic baubles of Saint Abdullah, crooked rhythmic invention of ‘Quantum Flirt’ from Krivchenia, and Slikback with the drill-punctuated Kongo Tekno force of ‘Foli’.
From more well established recruits we hear shearing noise vortices from DeForrest Brown’s excellent Speaker Music on ‘Sonological Hubris’, a mazy madness by Rian Treanor, and pill-bellied synth-pop from FaltyDL, whilst veterans such as Luke Vibert chime in with the big beaty breaks of ‘Bullet Drop’, Venetian Snares serves a very ‘Drukqs’-esque flex with ‘Drums’, his first new publicly-aired material in years, while Meemo Comma takes it out in ambient negative space on ‘Stillness of Man’, and Mike Paradinas does his spiralling braindance thing in ‘Imperial Crescent VIP’.
