Planet μ Showcase // Later opening

Doors are now opening at 2300 due to a band on before the gig

Milanese // iTAL tEK

Milanese

A native Londoner now based in sunny Birmingham, where he lives right next door to Warp Records' Chris Clark, Steve (Milanese) is an incredible young producer. He made his debut in 2004 with a 12" release called Vanilla Monkey on Warp's dance offshoot 12" imprint, Arcola Records, and then released his debut mini LP, also on Warp, 1 Up. He now signs to Planet Mu for his debut album "Extend".

A familiar phrase to old school video gamers, Milanese describes the sounds on Extend as "jungle / garage / ragga / house / techno. Mashed up robot music, basically like a computer game gone horribly wrong."

This is actually a much too modest attempt at pinning down the fierce, raw aggression of his rumbling beats, the sinister emotional tone and sophisticated panache of his production. While Milanese is a proficient multi-instrumentalist, in particular as a pianist (with 13 years of study notched up) and trombonist, his true forte appears to be 'fusing elements of electro-acoustic music with mad beats and bass'. Emphasis on the bass, okay?

From the digital dancehall holocaust of "Mr Bad News", ragga / garage audio terror and destruction on "Dead Man Walking" and the junglist clash and clatter breakbeats of "Mr Ion", Extend includes the occasional alarming vocal eruption that is guaranteed to scare the living daylights out of passing neighbourhood pets and any children within earshot. So turn it up!

A DJ fixture at squatter parties in the 90s, Milanese spent his time at university studying electronic music (this may have simply constituted a lot of raving) and also busies himself actually making unique instruments. A man of many talents, indeed.

iTAL tEK

Positioned on the shiny bit of the cutting edge of dubstep electronica, Alan Myson's iTAL tEK project has won over a legion of fans in the last year or two with massive releases for SQUARE and Planet Mu providing the essential platform for his intricate programming abilities and moody attitude ridden dubstep style. His debut full length continues his previous good work with a very coherant and personally touched collection of hi-end dubstep convolutions that sounds like the ideal succesor to the Planet Mu IDM staples of yesteryear. Over eleven tracks Ital Tek sweeps between intensely edited rhythm freakouts and bass mangles with an omnipresent compositional element that lends much of his work a developed melodic and harmonic style close to that of label mate Boxcutter, or IDM heroes Wauvenfold or Funkstorung. Strong gear from a talented producer

Planet μ Showcase

[Stasis|Collective] presents Planet μ Showcase @ Andrews Lane Theatre, November 8^th 2008

Milanese (Live) | [Planet μ]

iTAL tEK (Live) | [Planet μ]

Patch (DJ) | [Stasis|Collective]

Bonz (DJ) | [Reach, 174]

With multi-screen visuals from [Stasis|Collective] resident VJs, Kachanski, Euphiophone and blindFate and a 10K Loudmouth sound installation.

As a third installation at Andrew's Lane Theatre, Stasis|Collective is proud to present a Planet Mu soundsystem with two live sets from iTAL tEK and Milanese.

"Positioned on the shiny bit of the cutting edge of dubstep electronica", Alan Myson's iTAL tEK project has won over a legion of fans in the last year or two with massive releases for SQUARE and Planet Mu providing the essential platform for his intricate programming abilities and moody attitude ridden dubstep style. While bass weight is often a defining aspect in dubstep, Myson toys with what can only be described as beautiful melodies, alongside techy beats and tricky rhythmic editing.

As for Milanese – it's impossible to predict what will come from this man. Snatching elements from grime, garage and dub, his reputation is second to none for tearing venues limb from limb; What you can be certain of, is to expect the raw power lurking beneath crunchy, over-driven beats and growling subs that has been toying with minds from London to Leitrim. Disorienting and fascinating, "spitting out crackling rhythms as sheet metal arcs shimmer overhead" it was inevitable that his productions would appear in the Planet Mu armoury.
