This is the song with the blowing into the microphone sounds lol.
Interesting that Aleksi has parts 1, 3, and "Part 00" on his Bandcamp, but not part 2? I think part 2 might be my favorite lol.

A hidden gem from Mike Paradinas, during the era when he was majorly inspired by Hellfish (from about 2001 up to around the release of Bilious Paths in 2003)

Throwback Thursday! I feel like Hangable Auto Bulb is pretty underrated compared to his other mid-90s releases (I Care Because You Do, and the Richard D James Album)

[NEW] Β΅-Ziq - Grush
> About this album
Mike Paradinas, veteran producer and Planet Mu label owner has written a new album called βGrush' and it's full of weird bangers that reclaim the 'dance' part of the woeful term IDM. A back-to-first-principles record, inspired in part by the group of artists IDM was coined for; melodic dance music that didn't come out of urban scenes, but interpreted them from a distance.
The tracks on βGrushβ are all road-tested live favorites developed with feedback from Mike's touring partner and visuals guy ID:Mora (Jan Moravec). It's a detailed and energetic journey which replicates the flow of a live gig. A lot of the tracks have been made in hotel rooms in response to shows, βImperial Crescentβ is named after a Japanese Hotel, as is βBelvedereβ in Prague, while some tracks such as βHyper Daddyβ were created specifically to play live.
Drums are confidently at the fore here and the album feels like it traces Mike's musical history and interests neatly around his sweetly nostalgic melodies, with atmospheres and structures which twist and turn with a charming softness which contrasts with the tension in the drums. Take βHyper Daddyβsβ spiralling notes and twinkling piano which remind one of early Black Dog or Omni Trio rushing alongside splashy jungle drums, or the aquatic acid footwork of the title track with its drums softly bubbling and kicking. Elsewhere there's territory which harks back to his Tusken Raiders pseudonym, like the heads down Drexciyan funk of βWindsor Safari Park,β which transforms from moody electro into a sunny hardcore track midway. The album is interspersed with Reticulum A, B and C at the start middle and end of the album which suggest a theme which carries across the music in an effortless and joyful way. βGrushβ is a strong album that works both for listening and DJing and a great snapshot of where Mike Paradinas musical head is at in 2024.
released June 14, 2024

Another Cylobian Sunday!
> "Almost Sunset: From the Archives 94-95" is a collection of tracks recorded around the same period as the classic albums "Cylobian Sunset" and "Bounds Green". Only "Klefdol" has been previously released, on the digital version of "Spider Report" EP for Breakin' Records; the others are available here for the first time. Full of the same warmth, simplicity of style and melancholy as "Sunset", these hitherto lost pieces were rediscovered after a further trawl through the Cylobian DAT archives.
This album was actually released in 2021, but the songs are all from 1994-1995.
