Jega (musician)
Jega is the recording name of the Manchester-based electronic music artist, Dylan Nathan. Jega has released records on the Planet Mu, Matador and Skam record labels. Career Jega released his first EP in 1996 in Manchester on Skam records. His first LP, ''Spectrum'', was the first release on Mike Paradinas/μ-Ziq's Planet Mu label. Paradinas and Jega studied architecture together in London 1991–1994 on the same campus as Aphex Twin. ''Spectrum'' is a fusion of the breakbeat and intelligent dance music sound coming out of London at the time. His second album, ''Geometry'', reflects his electronic roots, avoiding samples and venturing more into synthesis. Jega was named by Thom Yorke as an influence on Radiohead's 2000 album ''Kid A''. Both ''Spectrum'' and ''Geometry'' were later licensed to Matador Records for release in North America, resulting in extensive tours of the United States. Despite only making six copies, in 2004 a demo of Variance was leaked to the Internet, res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Electronic Music
Electronic music broadly is a group of music genres that employ electronic musical instruments, circuitry-based music technology and software, or general-purpose electronics (such as personal computers) in its creation. It includes both music made using electronic and electromechanical means (electroacoustic music). Pure electronic instruments depend entirely on circuitry-based sound generation, for instance using devices such as an electronic oscillator, theremin, or synthesizer: no acoustic waves need to be previously generated by mechanical means and then converted into electrical signals. On the other hand, electromechanical instruments have mechanical parts such as strings or hammers that generate the sound waves, together with electric elements including pickup (music technology), magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers that convert the acoustic waves into electrical signals, process them and convert them back into sound waves. Such electromechanical devices in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planet Mu
Planet Mu is an English electronic music record label created and run by Mike Paradinas. The label started out as a subsidiary of Virgin Records then Paradinas set up the label independent of Virgin. After releasing intelligent dance music, the label moved to jungle and breakcore, and then grime and dubstep and later footwork. The label also releases the music of Paradinas under various aliases such as μ-Ziq, Kid Spatula, and Tusken Raiders. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025. Beginning When Mike Paradinas signed as a musician to Virgin Records in the mid-1990s, Paradinas was asked for suggestions for the new dance subsidiary and suggested Planet Mu as a play on Carl Craig's label Planet E. When Virgin lost interest in the project, Paradinas took it over. He quickly drew critical acclaim for releasing a string of important IDM (intelligent dance music) records, from artists such as Jega, Leafcutter John, Luke Vibert and Venetian Snares. The label also release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geometry (Jega Album)
''Geometry'' is the second album by the electronic musician Jega, released in 2000 on the Planet Mu and Matador labels. Track listing Reception Sam Eccleston, writing for Pitchfork, called the album "a fascinating, if not moving, musical experience". Mike Bruno of the Chicago Reader wrote a similarly positive review and compared it with Jega's previous album Spectrum A spectrum (: spectra or spectrums) is a set of related ideas, objects, or properties whose features overlap such that they blend to form a continuum. The word ''spectrum'' was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of co ..., stating that ''Geometry'' for Jega "represents a step toward being taken more seriously as an electronic composer".
