_From Rolling Stone, Issue #697_
"Alone in his suburban London apartment, 23-year-old Michael Paradinas is
a single-handedly changing the nature of sound. With a bare-bones home
studio, Paradinas has assembled enough material for more than 20 albums,
some of which are now seeing the light of day. Rephlex Records, the
seminal underground techno label co-owned by the prolific Aphex Twin, has
released a collection of Paradinas' low-tech, garage-style techno
recordings, "Tango N' Vectif" under the name Mu-Ziq (pronounced "music").
Upcoming releases include "Bluff Limbo" as well as a Mu-Ziq / Aphex Twin
collaboration on Rephlex, a funky-sounding album under the Jake Slanger
moniker on the Clear Label and Paradinas' absolutely radical
deconstructions of four tracks from indie-rick stalwarts the Auteurs.
"I'd never heard the Auteurs before," Paradinas says. "They sent me the
album in the post. It's shit. It doesn't have any groove. I sampled a
very small part of their record and made my own tracks with it."
