Planet Mu

Electronic music producer and software engineer, Herva, was born in 1991 and is based in Florence, Italy. With a passion for both technology and music, Herva has found the perfect balance between his two interests. As a co-founder of *ker*, he has made significant contributions to the electronic music scene.

Herva's unique sound draws inspiration from various genres including techno, experimental, and ambient. His tracks are characterized by intricate rhythms, atmospheric textures, and captivating melodies. With each release, he pushes the boundaries of electronic music and creates immersive sonic experiences.

Known for his innovative approach to production, Herva has gained recognition among fellow artists and critics alike. He shares similarities with renowned performers such as Lee Gamble, Hieroglyphic Being, Eomac, and many others who explore unconventional sounds within their compositions.

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.

Few artists have the ability to totally seduce over a few spins like Italy’s Herva. What may seem messy at first listen starts to fall into sharper definition and ‘Hyper Flux’ makes a very strong case for being his most seductive and mature record yet. The album has dismantled the broken beats of his early records and drifts, dives and shivers, its beats blended into the haze, everything approached from unusual angles with none of the music sounding entirely digital as it smudges between manipulated live instrumentation and field recordings coupled with synthesis and space - there's a warm heart at the centre of this music. Of making the album he says “I challenged myself to play real instruments. I have a lot of guitars and weird acoustic instruments at my home and also my Dad’s. He's primarily a guitarist and an inventor of instruments, so I have lots of those. Anyway I'm not a pro but I'm able to play drums quite well and I'm not that bad on guitars and bass too, but the weirdo instruments are the best, you are even more free to reinvent how to play them since no one else knows how to.”
