<p>Bogdan Raczynski is a Polish-American music producer who has been active since 1994. He gained recognition in 1999 when he signed with Rephlex, the label owned by renowned electronic musician Aphex Twin. Bogdan quickly released several albums and EPs, leading to his inclusion in the Rephlex All-Stars world tour. In 2007, he unveiled his sixth studio album "Alright!" on Rephlex before taking a twelve-year break due to a bass drum accident that temporarily affected his hearing. However, in 2019, Bogdan made a comeback with the release of "Rave 'Till You Cry," featuring old tracks from his Rephlex era. Since then, he has remained an active force in the music industry.</p>

Planet Mu presents ‘ADDLE’ – Bogdan Raczynski’s first album of new music in 15 years. Marking a change from the high-octane jungle tekno braindance for which he is most commonly known, here we find the Polish American musician in a more melodic and zen-like place of peace, which is ergonomic and decluttered, whilst also bittersweet and tinged with melancholy. Although less unhinged and riotous than some of his previous work, ‘ADDLE’ is no less impactful. Lean, punchy and purposeful, this seemingly simple combination of beats and melody belies a razor sharp skill, which bursts with verve and virtuosity. Across its eight unique and moving tracks the listener experiences tenderness, feelings somewhere between unease and comfort, and a sense of reflection, with Bogdan seemingly gazing at twinkling stars, but with his view distorted by welling-up. Sonically, spaces range from razor-sharp choppage, juddering heavyweight head-nodders, bit-crushed siren squall and something akin to Philip Glass’ ‘Candyman’ score played through a high-tech-fairy-tale music box. There’s also a warming, life-affirming moment as close to deep house as Bogdan will ever comfortably get, neck-snapping metallic percussion, Casiotone on steroids and reverberant warehouse throb. Booming drum machines are a prominent factor too – reminiscent of early hip hop instrumentals – but spirited off somewhere, lost in purgatory.
