| | CANOE -- JAM! - Mike's new u-ziq |
 | | But, while the new album has introduced Paradinas to sets of ears outside the U.K.'s arcane dance music subculture -- one previously-released single that appears on the album, The Motorbike Track, was a dancefloor hit in Britain -- Fatboy Slim this ain't. | | | Mike Paradinas and I can agree on one thing: We both like his current album, Royal Astronomy. | | | Paradinas plans to satisfy his underground dance jones later this year with a non-u-ziq album released under the name Kid Spachula. |

| | µ-Ziq - Artist Profile - Stylus Magazine |
| | When listening to a µ-Ziq track, it is unmistakably Paradinas. | | | Harsh drum and bass are mixed expertly with dynamic melody throughout the course of the album, creating a beautfiul soundscape that is full of soul and expression- in a genre of music thought to be devoid of such things. | | | The sound Paradinas is most well known for can be found on his 1997 Astralwerks release Lunatic Harness. |

| | Mike Paradinas will bringing his µ-ziq show stateside this summer in support of the release of this album, with a full country tour. | | | But much of the album charts new territory for Mike, like the opening track "Johnny Maastricht" which mixes the new 2-step "hardcore garage/rave" sound with his own trademark melodic sensibilities and the "Grape-Nut Beats" duo of tracks which mix 6/8 gabber-techno; old skool rave and nu-skool breaks with bassline ragga hardtek. | | | Planet Mu An amazing return to form from Mike Paradinas: 12 tracks of hard breaks influenced electronic music harking back to his various pasts (the track "Meinheld" recalls '97's Lunatic Harness remixed by Remarc and "My Mengegus" could have been off Tango N"Vectif). |

| | Mike's bedroom studio is used not only to produce his own music, but also to edit, post-produce and master more or less every track Planet Mu releases. | | | Mike is also not shy about quite drastically editing his artists' tracks, if he feels they need it: "Sometimes a track might not deserve to be six minutes long, so I'll cut it down to three or four minutes. | | | Logic Audio is the sequencer of choice, and Mike admits that the main attraction is less the facility to record acoustic instruments and vocals, but more the extra potential for "mashing things up" afforded him by the various effects plug-ins available. |

| | Mike didn't get much time to do the soundcheck, his own dressingroom is occupied by people of the Amsterdam conservatory, he has to do five unexpected interviews, a meal hasn't been arranged, the concert is going to be an hour later than planned and to top it all, the sampler is broken. | | | "In the coming months Mike is going to bring out sixteen new records," Jessica tells me. Mike: "But it's almost all old material." One of the records he's quite enthusiastic about he has recorded together with The Aphex Twin. | | | Because Mike Paradinas uses so many channels to send his music out into the world, he has an impressive number of pseudonyms. |

| | Re-release of the groundbreaking debut album by µ-Ziq aka Mike Paradinas with complete tracks from previous vinyl and CD releases plus already deleted 12"s and unreleased rarities. | | | With all tracks being digitally remastered, this double CD comes for the price of one." µ-Ziq is the most recorded name for Mike Paradinas. | | | This is most probably µ ZIQ's sixth album and Mike Paradinas' 18th full length release... |

| | Paradinas reserved his most original and exciting work for major album releases such aas µ-Ziq. | | | Early µ-Ziq LPs were based around the most ear-splitting buzz-saw percussion ever heard (in a musical environment or otherwise), with fast-moving though deceptively fragile synthesizer melodies running over the top. | | | An early techno pioneer, he explored experimental electronica, while keeping his unusual ear tuned to melody, the occasional piece of vintage synthesizer, and distorted beatbox rhythms. |

James' Rephlex label reissued this gem, compiling several unreleased tracks with material from the original CD and vinyl releases, as well as the long-lost "PHI*1700" single. | | | You can call this record groundbreaking, or relevant, or just a real riot to listen to. |

| | The strange thing is that Paradinas doesn't seem particularly peeved about the leakage of the album. | | | The sonically effusive Paradinas is just as taciturn when it comes to the matter of the record's leak. | | | While his early experiments with four-track recorders and synthesizers conjured cold, angular, alien landscapes, and seemed designed for solitary listening in bedrooms much like the one they were composed in, by the mid-'90s Paradinas had infused his tunes with the street-wise swagger of drum 'n' bass. |

| | Though he may incorporate these elements in to his music, Mike never lets these influences smother a track entirely, instead mixing it all up into an end result which is both innovative and new. | | | 1996 saw Paradinas join forces with Richard James for Aphex's one and only collaboration album Mike and Rich on Rephlex; it was also the year that Mike signed to Warp for his second Jake Slazenger album: Das Ist Ein Groovy Beat, Ja. | | | The album was preceded by a single The Fear, an infectiously haunting vocal track from Kazumi with pastoral strings underpinned by a Northern Soul mid-tempo shuffler rhythm, displaying the versatile nature of Paradinas' output. |

| | Between then and now, the absurdly prolific Paradinas -- "µ-Ziq," pronounced "mu-zeek," is just one of his many handles -- has released records as Slag Boom Van Loon, Tusken Raiders and Kid Spatula, and remixed musicians like Björk, Whale and Mogwai. | | | Producer Mike Paradinas punched up rhythm tracks that reinvented themselves on the fly, rattling like hyper-agitated spray cans and breaking into spontaneous James Brown impressions; the underlying melodies waltzed woozily, like symphonies composed on an Atari console, forming patterns as stately and ingenious as cathedral architecture. | | | Jagged and wearying, "Astronomy"'s saving grace is its first single, the disarmingly lovely "The Fear," where vocalist Kazumi croons like Tracey Thorn on a ghost-busting mission, and Paradinas watches her back, marshaling a drum beat that's pure power pop. |

| | J U N K M E D I A :: An interview with u-Ziq |
| | The evening of our interview, Paradinas seemed weary, bemoaning the record industry's many faults and hinting at being frustrated by a lack of time to work on his own music with the responsibilities of fatherhood and his popular label, Planet Mu. | | | Paradinas' many albums as µ-Ziq (along with an ever-widening collection of pseudonyms such as Kid Spatula, Jake Slazenger, and Diesel M) reveled in IDM's sense of rhythmic complexity, but drew on an equally developed ear for expansive harmony. | | | "You just say 'stuff like the Aphex Twin', and they might have heard of him." It's a bold statement for Paradinas, who, along with friends and contemporaries like Richard James (Aphex Twin) and LFO, was one of that genre's defining artists in London's fertile dance music community of the early 1990s. |

| | This results in some of his work (under various alises) sounding like that of a genius, whilst at other times the ramblings of a mad man. As much as this schizophrenic personality is what defines Mike Paradinas, it can sometimes make for frustrating listening. | | | For those willing to take the leap of faith required when listening to Paradinas the gems are well worth sifting through the detritous for. | | | Although snippets of voices crop up all over the album, there are two tracks that feature vocals by Japanese female artist Kazumi; an impressive singer whose style combines the technical dexterity of Bjork with the meaningless but nevertheless attractive meanderings of Liz Fraser. |
