i have finally begun to actively use the history magazine at fedia.io > the history magazine is a reddit-like community, very much resembling lemmy communities > the history magazine has been dormant for a long time and was basically used as a scraper focussing on history-related microblogging posts (see here), with a sweet spot for classical music and ... punk rock > please don't ask me why - i have been witnessing this from the start without me interfering - i only added two music-related hashtags to the magazine!

History - Fedia

an mbin magazine for all things related to history

when it comes to dubstep, planet mu's role is unique in that the label was a latecomer which would only start to release dubstep acts by 2004 > nevertheless, planet mu helped the genre to come into its own > the list of dubstep acts with releases on planet mu is loooooooong, so let me just mention a few names: mary anne hobbs, dj pinch, mark one, italtek, boxcutter, vex'd > for some of them, planet mu was the starting point of their careers, others would find a long time label home with planet mu

had it not been for mariah carey, the story would surely have been a very different one ...

the misconception is clear: rather than blaming greedy major label officials at virgin, both interviewer and interviewee aim their shots at mariah carey > also missing in this interview: quite like mariah carey, mike paradinas was paid for ending his contract with virgin > paradinas had stated that in earlier interviews which are no more online

so for the record: without mariah carey,
planet mu would probably never have gone independent, and venetian snares would certainly have found another label to release his music #afroblue

from mariah carey to venetian snares is a tough one - so here is some excerpts from an interview with mike paradinas:

NICK DWYER:
Did you have a lot of creative freedom during this whole time, or did you …
MIKE PARADINAS:
Yeah. Basically, they let me release what I wanted, so I was happy with that. In the end, they had to buy Mariah Carey out, and I got dropped.
NICK DWYER:
It was Mariah’s fault.
MIKE PARADINAS:
Yes. Totally. Everyone got dropped, except the Chemical Brothers… and the Verve.

mike paradinas aka *μ-ziq* took advantage of severing ties with virgin in order to not only free himself from the major label contract, but took the sublabel planet mu with him and it went fully independent > see https://www.electronicbeats.net/planet-mu-25th-anniversary-mike-paradinas-conversation/

mike paradinas had no fear!
