Mike Paradinas began recording as μ-Ziq in the early '90s, twisting club-ready sounds into mind-melting new shapes. If you dive into a μ-Ziq album, you might find yourself swooning to gorgeous ambient techno, racing to keep up with contorted drum 'n' bass rhythms, or dropping your jaw at Paradinas' seriously warped bass mutations. While his μ-Ziq output keeps him busy, the London producer has also explored woozy jazz-funk as Jake Slazenger and punishing breakcore as Kid Spatula—to name only two of his many side projects—and he also helms the boundary-breaking Planet Mu label.
