Planet Mu

Ekoplekz is an acclaimed electronic artist known for his unique blend of experimental and ambient music. With a discography spanning over a decade, he has established himself as a leading figure in the underground music scene.
Influenced by artists such as *Mordant Music*, *Pye Corner Audio*, and *Demdike Stare*, Ekoplekz's sound is characterized by its atmospheric textures, intricate rhythms, and haunting melodies. His compositions often evoke a sense of otherworldliness, transporting listeners to ethereal sonic landscapes.
With releases on renowned labels like *Planet Mu* and *Editions Mego*, Ekoplekz has garnered critical acclaim for his innovative approach to sound design. Drawing inspiration from various genres including dub, techno, and industrial, he seamlessly fuses these elements together to create immersive sonic experiences.

Planet Mu is an independent music label that was founded in 1995 by Mike Paradinas. Originally starting as an imprint on Virgin, the label was created to release music from artists like µ-Ziq and others who shared a similar style. However, due to Virgin's lack of success in marketing this type of music, Mike Paradinas decided to establish Planet Mu as an independent label in 1998. It is at this point that the catalog numbers for releases under the name *ZIQ* began.

On this, his debut album for Planet Mu - with Mike Paradinas working alongside Nick to pick the fruits of his labour - Nick Edwards' Ekoplekz project creates an album that feels just right for Mu. Ekoplekz has previously released on a number of labels, but with Unfidelity the music aligns itself with Mu's melodic sensibilities and lets the early 90's electronica influences bleed in, although the album still has the intensely transporting feel that all his work possesses. The title track is the big giveaway to Nick's music if you've not heard it before. A hands on approach to music making, 4-track recordings, un-sequenced and murky with a molasses-thick harmonic drone that needs to come with a 'do not listen to whilst driving heavy machinery' warning, leaving you with a mood flashback to the fuggy feeling of a teenage bong intake.
