Mike Paradinas (ft. Jlin) – Resident Advisor podcast #903 2023-09-24

“For the past few years, RA cover star Jlin has been churning out complex percussion compositions that sit at the intersection of IDM, trap, mutant techno and sound art. Her tracks are tactile and structurally complex, stacked drums interlocking with glistening melodies and heaving basslines on groundbreaking albums like Dark Origami. Her rhythms gracefully crosscut over one another like towering blocks in an architecture sketch for a truly cerebral experience. Growing up in Gary, Indiana, the former steel factory worker wears many hats. She produces mind-bending club music—usually for Mike Paradinas’s label Planet Mu—scores modern dance performances and arranges for instrumental ensembles. Her process of collaboration is deeply symbiotic, as shown on her new EP, Perspective The acoustic version of the record, written for and performed with Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize this year, an unprecedented honour for a dance music artist. Jlin’s style is sometimes described as avant-garde, but modernist is a better word. She originally started out making footwork and despite moving away from the genre in recent years, footwork’s jittery energy still flows through her productions, a testament to her ability to experiment across styles. Being a math whiz only adds to the angular, carefully calculated feel of her production. In celebration of Jlin’s career, Mike Paradinas serves up a 40 minute mix that shows off her range and most importantly, her passion for this music”

Mike Paradinas + Ital Tek – Solid Steel Show 2016-04-22

“This week it’s a Planet Mu takeover and in Hour 1 we’re delighted to welcome label boss Mike Paradinas, who has been constantly pushing boundaries with the label and under his moniker ?-Ziq for well over two decades. His contribution to electronic music is incredible when you look at just some of the names that have appeared on Planet Mu, such as DJ Nate, Mr Mitch, Kuedo, Terror Danjah, Meat Beat Manifesto, Benga, Neil Landstrumm, FaltyDL, DJ Rashad, Luke Vibert, Machinedrum and Floating Points. We’re lucky to get a preview of forthcoming material on the label and he told us;
“This is a mix I did when I had a free day. I just went through the last two months of additions to my itunes and used that as a starting point. I’ve been compiling Kuedo’s new album in the last few weeks so there are a few early versions of what will appear on that, and some tracks by Wwwings who we are releasing an EP of. Outtakes from the new JGB album (J.G. Biberkopf) on Knives and some new Ekoplekz and Herva tracks.”
In Hour two we welcome back Ital Tek who appeared on Solid Steel in 2012 and has been a firm fixture on Planet Mu since his debut release in 2007. He did a track with Mike Paradinas as ‘Mick & Alan’ in 2013 and his latest album ‘Hollowed’ was released last month. He had this to say about his mix;
“Here is a mix showcasing a few tracks from my new album ‘Hollowed’ alongside some of my favourite recent and upcoming releases. Newly released material from some of my label mates at Planet Mu, a favourite of mine from the great new Ash Koosha album on Ninja Tune, tracks from the awesome new records by Clark and Roly Porter and a couple of unreleased pieces from my brother Edward. I’ve included ‘Night Traffic’ by Paul Lansky who has been an influence on me over the years and an untitled new ambient track of mine.””
