Ital explores his Hive Mind on Planet Mu
Daniel Martin-McCormick will release his debut album as Ital, Hive Mind, on Planet Mu next February.

Stream Planet Mu's Bangs & Works Vol. 2
Planet Mu have just released Bangs & Works Vol. 2, their second compilation of Chicago juke and footwork. Featuring lesser known names like DJ T-Why alongside relatively established favourites like RP Boo, it’s a gnarlier listen than its 2010 predecessor, but no less essential for those interested in the sounds of footwork beyond the more [...]

Footwork collected again on Bangs & Works Vol. 2
This November, Planet Mu will release the follow-up to Bangs & Works, their 2010 juke and footwork compilation.

Kuedo – 'Truth Flood'
Severant is the debut album by Keudo, a.k.a. Jamie Teasdale of legendary dubstep group Vex’d. It’s an incredibly simple record, often consisting of little more than shredding 808 hi-hats, classic-sounding synth melodies and dubstep basslines, but it’s incredibly effective, and certainly one of the most distinctive albums we’ve heard this year. Planet Mu will be releasing [...]

“A mist-coated crossroads between footwork, pop and ambient.”
Video premiere: Boxcutter's 'Passerby'
Boxcutter’s recent LP, The Dissolve, was a record that dealt in analog aesthetics. Tape hiss, VHS fuzz, decayed synthlines – it was all there and more. And so it’s no surprise that ‘Passerby’, the new video from the Planet Mu-signed Irishman directed by Sabrina Ratte features a similarly warm vibe. Check it out below.
Machinedrum: Sacred Frequency EP
“Impeccably produced and harmoniously coherent”
Juke's DJ Diamond readies Flight Muzik
Planet Mu have announced a full-length album by juke’s DJ Diamond. Diamond, real name Karlis Griffin, is 24 and a key member of the Flight Muzik clique of producers, who the album – simply titled Flight Muzik – is named after.
