Edgelands 2026: Mu-Ziq & ID:Mora + Meemo Comma + Stuart Bowditch

Mike Paradinas needs no introduction. Under a slew of aliases, chief among them μ-Ziq, the British artist revolutionized leftfield electronic music in the 1990s, while adopting side pseudonyms like Jake Slazenger and collaborating with Aphex Twin in 1996 on the album 'Mike and Rich'. In 1995 he founded Planet Mu, a label that has built up a formidable catalog of visionary, forward-looking records, mapping virtually every corner of the electronic spectrum and releasing music by projects such as Jlin, Venetian Snares, Vladislav Delay, Luke Vibert or Sinjin Hawke & Zora Jones just to name a few.

The imprint continues to be a driving force in the electronic music scene, consistently pushing boundaries and championing innovative sounds. ID:MORA is a Czech visual artist based in Barcelona. Self-taught, his video creations have been seen at many festivals worldwide. He has worked closely with Ad Noiseam record and collaborated with artists such as Mike Paradinas, Loraine James, Red Snapper and Meneo. Mainly working with 3D animation, his style moves from psychedelic abstraction to the concrete and back again, pulling the viewer into the Now. Reality peppered with acidic distortions that transforms space into a super-vitaminated universe.

MEEMO COMMA is the alias of British electronic producer Lara Rix-Martin, known for crafting immersive soundscapes that blend experimental textures with cinematic flair. With a discography that spans ambient, IDM, and avant-garde club influences, Meemo Comma explores themes of identity, mythology, and altered states of consciousness through sound.

Her work is deeply rooted in narrative, often drawing from folklore, science fiction, and personal introspection. Each release under the Meemo Comma name feels like an audio portal—whether conjuring the mysticism of ancient ritual or the tension of dystopian futures.

Albums such as Sleepmoss and Neon Genesis: Soul Into Matter2 have garnered critical praise for their bold sonic storytelling and richly detailed production.Beyond her solo work, Rix-Martin is a co-founder of the influential label Objects Limited, which champions underrepresented voices in electronic music. Through both her music and curatorial efforts, Meemo Comma continues to challenge norms and expand the boundaries of contemporary electronic sound.

STUART BOWDITCH's practice is located in places and communities that exist on the fringes, both geographically and socially, with a particular interest in the sonic landscape, capturing overlooked and overheard noises and using sound as a documentative and creative medium. His sound recordings of people, their activities, experiences and environs have contributed to art installations, phone apps, archival records, radio broadcasts, podcasts, dance performances, public consultation events, musical compositions, a computer game, a eulogy and sound tracks to short films.
