Planet Mu, long time home of IDM, glitch and experimental electronic acts such as
Venetian Snares,
Luke Vibert, and label head Mike Paradinas' own
μ-Ziq project, have gotten a little less esoteric in their signings lately; recognizing shifting trends in relevance in the electronic music genre, Paradinas has added dubstep (
Benga,
Pinch), artstep (
Burial), and now footwork to his arsenal.
Traxman operates within the accepted bounds of the footwork repertoire on "1988", with its knob-twiddling 303s and boilerplate footwork beats, though he started off as a ghetto house DJ in the 90s.
Da Mind of Traxman is his debut for Planet Mu (due April 9), and you can pre-order and/or get a taste of the other 17 tracks on the
Mu website.
