µ-Ziq’s Tango N'Vectif was released in 1993, a classic year for auteurist electronic music that didn't always fit on the dancefloor. Written by Mike Paradinas in his late teens, it still stands up well today and its influence on electronic music in the decades since is obvious.
Taking influences from early Aphex, Detroit Techno and UK Hardcore Rave, Mike created this spirited, lo-fi version of rave; with crunchy drums and a knack for melody that fell between John Barry and classic TV themes.
Remastered by Beau Thomas with original artwork, and photography by Richard James.
