Mike 'µ-ziq' Paradinas' Planet Mu label has long become an institution of British electronic music, constantly innovating the field of broken beats since its inception in 1995. Originally a Virgin Records subsidiary, Planet Mu gained independence in 1998 under Paradinas' lead and quickly expanded its roster with artists like Jega, Tusken Raiders, Capitol K, Luke Vibert and Venetian Snares. The musical spectrum of Planet Mu ranges from glitch-hop to breakcore, and signings like Milanese, Starkey, and Boxcutter have made dubstep has another major focus of attention in recent years.

Travis Stewart, an innovator in the NY underground for at least a decade, releases his latest album on Planet Mu. Masterfully hybridizing his hip-hop roots with r'n'b and juke influences providing for trippy free-flowing jams, capturing the kicking energy of his live shows. Wicked.

Planet Mu takes us on another Chicago street sounds excursion: Established players like Spinn, Rashad, Earl and T-Why as well as fresh new talents contribute 26 tracks in all, comprised of some the maddest high-speed juke and footworx tracks we've heard so far. Banging.

The devilish footwurk duties of the Ghettoteknitianz crew appear in full force on Planet Mu. Rashad & Gant-Man's anthemic 'Heaven Sent' on a dizzy gleeful juke skip, Traxman's 'We Are Da Best' devastating multi-stable vox over jelly synths and stumblin' cuts by younger producers Manny & Earl. Next level!

Since his 'Soft Vision' EP wowed last year, Chris Ward's debut album has more of a live rock feel, with soupy synths and soft vocals keeping emotions high. Diverse influences from psych rock, 70s jazz fusion, chillwave, 80s synthpop make a strongly immersive, lush album. Recommended.

Fine EP from Planet Mu's experimental pop hopefuls Tropics: 'Mouves' is a nicely swinging piece that brings together jazzy piano riffs and drum breaks with echoing vocals à la Animal Collective. Newcomers Keep Shelly In Athens supply a nice synthetic witch house take, and Falty DL's gently shuffling mix is quality as always.

Kuedo, the artist formerly known as Jamie Vex'd, has been rather quiet since undergoing a name change late 2009. One can assume that the young artist, who at once had a hand in defining the dubstep genre, has been busy perfecting his electrifying and wholly individual sound. Check!
