Planet Mu Founder µ-Ziq Remixes Textbook Maneuver Track ‘Adrenaline Slip’ Out Now via Life Science Records

µ-Ziq‘s rework of Textbook Maneuver‘s ‘Adrenaline Slip‘ hit shelves on November 7, 2025, via Life Science Records. Working as Mike Paradinas, the UK electronic veteran launched Planet Mu and broke into IDM back in 1993, racking up aliases like Jake Slazenger, Kid Spatula, and Tusken Raiders. He’s pulled acclaim from Pitchfork, The Guardian, DJ Mag, and Pop Matters, with his 1997 effort Lunatic Harness shifting more than 100,000 copies as a drill ‘n’ bass staple. The 1999 follow-up Royal Astronomy nailed his orchestral electronic style, snagging spots on NME‘s end-of-year picks. Over at Planet Mu, Paradinas has pushed breakcore, footwork, and dubstep frontiers, handing early platforms to acts like Venetian Snares and Jlin to anchor the electronic underground.

Pulling from the original’s thread of mutable beats, throbbing basslines, and stuttered textures that arc from breezy downtempo into brooding tension before exploding into IDM frenzy, this version balloons outward with a chillier bite. µ-Ziq folds in trance-like tambourine patterns, sliced breakbeats, and roomy drones that echo the dense haze of ’90s shoegaze, all while holding firm to the track’s electronic IDM bones—geared to hook listeners into Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada territory.

µ-Ziq shared: “The starting point for my remix of Adrenaline Slip was the one of the stems, an Alchemy patch which sounds like a distorted electric guitar. I processed and cut it up, adding a breakbeat and tried to make it all a bit dreamy and smeared inspired by 90s shoegaze bands like MBV and early
