After appearing on Planet Mu last year alongside Ital as Interplanetary Prophets, Jamal Moss is back on the long-standing electronica label with a new release that gives him full free rein to head into his most cosmic, wild styles without reproach. From the off it’s clear there won’t be any holding back as “The Seer Of Cosmic Visions” finds delirious arpeggios of glassy synths meeting with creative washes of distortion, but it’s not all overdriven naughtiness as “Space Is The Place” reveals with its playful and delicate chimes and tones. For the most of course this is abrasive and challenging material, utterly peerless in its inventiveness.

The last few years have seen Chicago Footwork rise to international success, and Traxman’s debut album – ‘The Mind of Traxman’ on Planet Mu – played no small part in that. It showcased Cornelius Ferguson’s brilliant ability to synthesise the beat digging of classic hip hop with the high-speed abstraction of Footwork’s house-derived beat science.

The selection of tracks on this second chapter show a slightly different take on Traxman’s abilities. Instead of bringing in concepts from other genres, he simply creates a wider variety of Footwork, made with a minimal, reduced palette. Often just one or two samples are selected and diced into brain-blurring cubist puzzles that bear little relation to their original sources, or anything else for that matter.

A number of the tracks here show off the high-speed micro-edited possibilities of Footwork, that end up bringing the sound closer to a faster, hands-on, mpc-punched version of micro-house, bringing out a jagged, fitful character that keeps you on your toes. Tracks like ‘Time Slip’ echo SND, but cut with hip hop breaks and flying snares, while ‘Blow Your Whistle (Tha Out Of Here Remixx)’ chops up a short vocal and whistle noise to ridiculously energetic effect. Other tracks pull on a techno edge, ‘Computer Getto’s galloping game of hide and seek with Kraftwerk, ‘Bubbles‘ electronic arcade game blips, or ‘Under Cover Jack‘s 303 groove, remind one of the house origins of this music, while ‘Can Nutin Hold Me Back’ has a leg in soul’s history, with its detached accapella chopped into twitchy choruses. Later on ‘15146’ cuts up barked numbers over sprightly woodwind while ‘Gone and Hit that Shit’ reduces words to rhythmic shapes, darting around meaning. ‘The Edge of Panic’ is an unexpected and incredibly aggressive detour into Footwork x Speed Metal that could be a micro-genre of its own. We catch our breath with ‘I Wanna Be High’ before the album ends with the gentle bass and chopped jazz drums of ‘U Got Me Running (Remixx)’. The mind of Traxman dazzles again.

Traxman, a.k.a. Corky Strong, real name Cornelius Ferguson, is a Chicago Footwork veteran whose discography also includes many classic Ghetto House and Juke releases going as far back as the mid ’90s with music on labels like the legendary Dance Mania. He’s worked as a DJ for over three decades and was a member of the Geto DJz and Ghetto Teknitianz crews alongside two other Footwork scene leaders, DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. He describes his style as “funky, soulful and a bit eccentric.”

01. 10th Circle Of Winnipeg 7:00

12. Your Blanket 3:07

With ‘My Love Is A Bulldozer’, Venetian Snares first new album since 2010’s ‘My So-Called Life’, Aaron Funk surprises yet again, drawing on new ideas and on moods that have only been touched upon in his previous work.

The album seems to have a flowing sense of narrative, something akin to an opera, and unusually Aaron sings songs on it, which reinforces the sense of an emotional journey. Sonically he meshes together sometimes thunderous yet complex drum programming with delicate musical structures, creating, in places, a sense of haunted, atmospheric Jazziness, as well as spiky autumnal strings recalling the gothic orchestral beauty of his previous work.

Right from the start it’s clear we’re in new territory, with the distressed and violent ’10th Circle Of Winnipeg’, featuring a world weary jazz singer intoning deep emotional loss between crashing breaks and a corkscrewing bassline, giving us a sense of bewilderment and hurt, whereas ‘Deleted Poems’, all mournful strings and flamenco guitar, evokes empty desolation. ‘1000 Years’ is the first time we hear Aaron’s romantic singing with its orchestral accompaniment, coming across with a slightly medieval quality, cut up dramatically with angry fitful drum programming. On ‘Your Smiling Face’ Aaron’s voice is both lamenting and slightly manic over an empty downbeat drums and piano, switching quickly in mood to the cartoony rush of ‘Amazon’.

Title track ‘My Love Is A Bulldozer’ is as close as Snares gets to a pop song, with its gothic, self-deprecating vocals and dark synth melodies, but this is quickly splintered apart by rushing drumwork and metal stabs leaving you breathless. ‘She Runs’ sees things get warmer and more romantic, with epic chords and building, fidgety drums, rushing closer and closer in anticipation towards the end as if they’re speeding towards a destination. ‘Too Far Across’, drops back to sparse, lonely lyrics, the vocals yearning to see a distant lover, over sad plucked guitar.

‘Dear Poet’ is an epic track that starts by working up strings and brass into shivering shapes cut with violent stabs, before amens drop in and the orchestral work becomes a dramatic accompaniment, the melodies darting across the deftly programmed drums. ‘Your Blanket’ finishes off the album, cold, beatless and balletic, gently building some light into the string arrangements, before the track finally forms together with bombastic brass, suggesting a potentially positive end.

Having forged his name in grubby lo-fi sonics with a strong pulse of post punk running through it, through some proactive A&Ring by Mike Paradinas Ekoplekz has been coaxed out of his abstract bolt hole and delivers an album of wild electronics shot through with classic machine soul. The synths that appear on tracks such as “Trace Elements” or “Pressure Level” would never have made it on to earlier releases, but they gel perfectly with the predominant Ekoplekz sound, enriching the listening experience rather than knocking the project off course. It’s a fine continuation of both an artist, and the wider tradition of quality leftfield electronica, of which Planet Mu has been a major instigator.

Tracklist:
1. Trace Elements (05:28)
2. Nerva Beacon (06:09)
3. Robert Rental (03:12)
4. Severn Beach (07:59)
5. Sea 90 (04:43)

‘Poemss’ is a musical project from Toronto-based producer and music artist Joanne Pollock in collaboration with Aaron Funk, who’s recorded music as Venetian Snares. They met in Europe but when Joanne played Aaron her music and visited him at his studio, collaboration started to happen soon after. Poemss will surprise anyone who equates Aaron’s music solely with his hard-edged, drum-driven output. The record is the result of a true partnership, with both artists contributing to the writing and performance of the music, the technical aspects of production and to the performance and treatment of the vocals. The result is a collection of soft and dreamlike ballads; Aaron and Joanne’s singing adding both texture and poetry to the album. They explain how the record came about: “This album was made between January and May of 2013.To us, this album is an album of beginnings. It s the beginning of knowing someone, the beginning of a new creative endeavour, and fresh possibilities. The very first song that we wrote together is included in these tracks, and was to us just an experiment. As musicians, it seemed natural to see what we would make. We can hear ourselves becoming more comfortable with each other as it progresses; an evolution recorded in an album. This record comes from a very intimate place for both of us, largely because it was recorded in Aaron’s house, where Joanne was visiting at the time. However, although it was recorded in Winnipeg, to us this record seems less rooted in a particular place or time, and seems more to be born out of our thoughts, dreams, and reflections. Listening back to every track, it is difficult for us to isolate which parts either of us brought individually to each song. We launch each other creatively, melodically. One of us will usually be inspired again to add to what the other is laying down and it works in a kind of cycle like this. It’s a nice way to flow and pleasantly surprising to see what the other person brings to it. Much of the time, it really sounds like the two of us together rather than a combination of what we do individually.”

Mike Paradinas and his missus, Lara Rix-Martin are joined by Nick Talbot of Gravenhurst for their lovely debut album as Heterotic. Summoning influence from classic house, late ’80s electronic dream pop, they squarely hit upon a sound somewhere between classic New Order and early µ-Ziq, mixing breezy vocals with multi-tiered electro basslines and lushest synths to often gorgeous effect.

Edition of 300. Spot-gloss gatefold jacket with double wide spine. Includes download code redeemable for the 12-track Volume. 2** Celebrating 20 years of influential operations, Mike Paradinas marks Planet Mu’s 300th release with a collection of unheard µ-Ziq dating to the early ’90s. This was arguably his most cherished era of productions, hailing from a time when he, alongside the ranks of The Black Dog, AFX, and Autechre, among others, were realigning ambient techno and electronica along new, proggier vectors equally inspired by Hip Hop, jungle and new age composition. Compiled by his wife and partner in Heterotic, Lara Rix-Martin, ‘Somerset Avenue Tracks (1992-1995)’ traverses 12 tracks taking in Mike’s signature, sweet-toothed melodies on the Roedelius-like ‘Air’ and the gorgeous P.L.U.R techno orchestrations of ‘Vinxel’, or to a bluer degree in the Suzanne Ciani-esque ‘Pollux’, beside the ‘Tango & Vectif’-era synths of ‘Diala’, contrasting with the hyper cut-up breakbeats of ‘Airto’ from ’95, and finishing at two poignant moments from his ’92 Peel Session, ‘Johnson’s Q-Fab’ and ‘Green Lanes’. It’s a lovely dose of niceness for all the nostalgia-bots…

Sleep are tunes I recorded while falling asleep. These tracks are really different for me, really mellow and dreamy, that nice comfortable feeling when you’re falling asleep. Feels pointless to describe it, that feeling, there really shouldn’t be words for that state, so I describe the process a little instead. For awhile, when I was really tired and ready to go to bed instead of going to sleep I would make a tune. Get some stuff going on my sequencers, drum machines, patch up my modular and just jam it. Would fall asleep alot listening to the sequences, few seconds of sleep or a few minutes, wake up in it. This is what I sound like in my sleep.
