Planet Mu

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.

RP Boo is one of the pioneers of footwork and juke music. With a career spanning over three decades, he has been actively involved in the DJ scene since the early 90s. Hailing from Chicago, RP Boo's innovative beats and unique style have made him a respected figure in the genre.
As one of the earliest producers of footwork and juke, RP Boo has played a significant role in shaping the sound and culture of these genres. His tracks are known for their fast-paced rhythms, intricate drum patterns, and energetic samples.
With his deep understanding of music production and extensive experience as a DJ, RP Boo continues to push boundaries and create groundbreaking tracks that captivate audiences worldwide. His contributions to footwork and juke have solidified his status as an influential artist within the electronic music community.

RP Boo is to Footwork what Juan Atkins is to Techno - a source point for a busting out of innovative ideas and new directions. Sonically, RP Boo is a modern-day Zatoichi samurai, cutting his samples in unorthodox ways. His sound remains unique. 'Fingers, Bank Pads and Shoe Prints' contains both tracks made after his acclaimed 2013 debut album 'Legacy' and older tracks. Highlights include 'Banging On King Dr.' which sees him cutting up street numbers; the monolithic noir feeling of 'Sleepy'; the subtle funk of 'Your Choice' which may in some way be inspired by his Dad's role as bass player for Prince; 'Lets Dance Again' whose delicate soulful sound echoes deep streams of Chicago dance music history; the dramatic string-infused 'Daddy's Home' and the celebration of achieving dreams that is the closer 'B'Ware.' 'Fingers, Bank Pads and Shoe Prints' is the sound of an innovator reconfirming his place as leader with one of the most essential Footwork albums to date.
