µ-Ziq (a.k.a. Mike Paradinas, Tusken Raiders, Jake Slazenger and many more) returns with his first album of new material since 2013’s Chewed Corners. The Analogical Force guys had asked Mike for a full album of material when they organised a Madrid gig for him in 2018 after releasing his archival D-Funk EP.
The majority of the material was written in some rare downtime during a Paradinas family holiday in the Gower peninsula in Wales during the summer 2020 lockdown. Sergio liked what Mike sent him immediately and started choosing tracks for what became “Scurlage”. From the opening “Blakers Loop” where ominous pitched vocal loops meet 808 drums you know you’re in for a ride of vintage proportions. By the time you reach the soaring synth lines of “Preston Melodics” you know this is something special.
“Scurlage” is named after a very small village on the Gower peninsula near where Mike wrote these tracks. On the front cover is a photograph of “Arthur’s Stone” a neolithic burial ground on the top of the peninsula which inspired many of the tracks.
