5-Ziq - Grush [CD]

Mike Paradinas, veteran producer and Planet Mu owner has written a new album called 'Grush' full of weird bangers that reclaim the 'dance' part of the woeful term IDM. A back-to-first-principles record, inspired in part by the group of artists IDM was coined for; melodic dance music that didn't come out of urban scenes, but interpreted them from a distance. 'Grush' is a strong album that works both for listening and DJing and a great snapshot of where Mike Paradinas musical head in 2024.
