Distance / Repercussions

Planet Mu

The second album for Planet Mu by Greg Sanders a.k.a. Distance follows his hugely successful debut, My Demons (Album of the Year, Dubstep Forum Awards 2007), and shakes speakers with his continuing bass-heavy industrial sound.  In 2006, Distance was featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' renowned Radio One show along with six other artists who have gone on to shape the face of dubstep. With Repercussions, Distance is still a pioneering force within the sub-low bass movement, gigging regularly across Europe and the rest of the world, drawing massive crowds everywhere he plays.  Repercussions is a beast of an album. Heavy, chunky bass lines feature solidly, as well as moody, ambient soundscapes and sharp snares. Newfound industrial influences are also apparent. On closer inspection, Distance's love of metal is present, though not featured prominently. It is a clear influence on the heaviness and groove of the music, which remains sparse with time to breathe between beats--a perfect blend.  The CD version of the album includes a second disc with all the releases from Distance's own label, Chestplate. It features his smash hits, "Victim Support" and "V," and more.
