Product Information

Mike Paradinas' μ-ZIQ solo project has been quiet for a while. However, with "XTEP", he makes a welcome return from hiatus and gives us a gentle taster for a forthcoming brand new μ-Ziq album due this summer. In stark contrast to a large percentage of his previous work, XTEP is joyous all the way through. The five compositions abandon the quest for cutting-edge exploration exchanging it for an altogether more carefree fun approach, with only the footwork-influenced "Monj2" directly referencing any current electronic influences, however even on Monj2, the vintage sound palette dominates. Opening with the gorgeous "XT"; a smudged piano / moog melody recalls the abandon of 70s pop melodies before the composition falls out into airy arpeggiated funk with splashy drums. "Ritm" debuts with ravey piano and whistling synths, condensing early dance music tropes into a gauzy bitter-sweet haze. "Pulsar" is a perfect tribute to late 70s electronic cosmic space-disco, gently nudged towards more modern dancefloors with pulsing electronics racing above robust kicks. "New Bimple" succinctly uses a short space of time, woody, swinging 2-step drums and downcast piano melody, to bring the EP to a conclusion on a sadder, unresolved note.
