It seems like you can never run of out good music from the peeps at Planet Mu; already on a terrific tear with a bevy of footwork and juke releases, they’ve let out a nice little chunk of brilliant bass with Optimum’s debut 12″, Max Power. Highlighting melodic structures and inventive drum patterns, the release is one of many things in the pipeline. With another 12″ out on his collaborative imprint, Hum + Buzz (which he runs with URB favourite Ikonika) as well as putting out other artists on the label such as Brenmar and the dubious J.O.H, he’s going to be kept busy for quite a while. Luckily, we had a bit of time to ask him some questions as well as get a brilliant mix of pretty much exclusive dubs and upcoming floor-crushers. Check out the Q/A and mix (including tracklist and D/L link) after the jump.

Cosmin TRG provided one of the better house and funky sets I had heard in a long time at New York’s inaugural version of Unsound Festival earlier in the year, and ever since then, all we want is more select cuts and tunes from the dude. With a just-released darkside 12″ on Untold’s Hemlock imprint, he’s definitely got many more things going for him, such as this exclusive promo mix that he did for FABRICLIVE to let people about the upcoming event with Serocee, Addison Groove (LIVE) and Cosmin’s FIRST-EVER LIVE SHOW. Let’s not forget him and now-Brooklynite FaltyDL are playing a live show together in Krakow later this year at Unsound Festival 2010. The mix link (via Soundcloud), tracklist and D/L after the jump.

When Unsound Festival was announced for New York City, people who had been familiar with the original Krakow festival knew about the famed annual Bass Mutations events, where artists such as Kode9, Ikonika, 2562 and Untold flexed their low-end muscle. Massive anticipation set in for the New York edition, and when the lineup was announced it did not disappoiSnt. Artists highlighting the bill were Untold, TRG, 2562, FaltyDL, Sepalcure (Machine Drum & Praveen Sharma), Pole, Pavel Ambiont and Dub War resident Dave Q. Needless to say, this was a lineup that wouldn’t come around to New York for a while, so people took to getting there and enjoying.

The announcement of Unsound Festival NY came very suddenly, and just as sudden was the wave of momentum provided by artists, promoters and media sponsors (like ourselves) alike. From the Upper West Side, to the West Village and throughout the bastion of “hip” that is Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Unsound NY is making its mark as a premier electronic festival in New York City. The opening weekend was a surefire to start to a week that’s still in full-on electronic mayhem mode; from breathtaking visuals to Warhol films to the debut of one of the most acclaimed techno groups in recent history, the beginning of Unsound Festival NY has cemented its status as one of the most important cultural festivities in New York City, besides that CMJ thing.
