believe it. the label has just recently announced a few new signings and amongst them is chicago native and dj/producer nathan clark, aka DJ NATE. don’t know much about him but at some point last year i came across his track ‘give dat man room’ and became immediately obsessed/haunted. amongst a seemingly bottomless digital playlist this track always seems to rival the top. ghetto dread juke? his song structure is built around endlessly looped and layered vocals and seems an impossible formula but somehow it works.
planet mu has signed dj nate for a single and an album, both scheduled for release this fall. can’t wait to see where the new music goes.
Speaking of odd fits for labels, did anyone catch Tectonic picking up Pursuit Grooves for the Fox Trot Mannerisms release? ah yes, the uk dubstep/post-dilla future beat collisions continue…
