Planet Mu was started in 1995 as an imprint on Virgin Records on which to release µ-Ziq and other, similar artists.
Whereas Mu's contemporary Rephlex packaged up the sound in its 'Grime' compilations, and Warp dipped its toe in with Something J & DJ Maxximus' 'Mercedes Bentley Vs. Versaci Armani' - Planet Mu has gone all out of late.
Hawerchuck's first ep 'Camel Toe/Caned Peas' in 2004 appears to be the starting point of Mu's daliance with dub/grime sub sonics, albeit in an experimental manner.

 Mu Arae
By June 2002, a second giant planet in an outer orbit was also suspected (Jones et al, 2002, in pdf, which was ground in better observational data in 2004 (McCarthy et al, forthcoming December 2004).
Mu Arae is a yellow-orange dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G3 V-IV.
The orbit of an Earth-like planet (with liquid water) around Mu Arae may be centered around 1.3 AU -- between the orbital distances of Earth and Mars in the Solar System -- with an orbital period around 1.31 years (478 days).

 Universe Today - Smallest Extrasolar Planet Found
The planet orbits a star called mu Arae every 9.5 days, which is located 50 light-years away in the southern constellation of the Altar.
Mu Arae was already known to harbour a Jupiter-sized planet with a 650 days orbital period.
During 8 nights in June 2004, mu Arae was repeatedly observed and its radial velocity measured by HARPS to obtain information on the interior of the star.

 Finding Super-Earths :: Astrobiology Magazine :: Search for Life in the Universe
Most of these planets were discovered by radial-velocity surveys, an observational method based on perceived variations in the light of the central star, caused to the gravitational pull exerted by an orbiting planet.
During eight nights in June 2004, mu Arae was repeatedly observed and its radial velocity measured by HARPS to obtain information on the interior of the star.
Giant planets are thought to form by first developing a core through the accretion of solid "planetesimals." Once this core reaches a critical mass, gas accumulates in a runaway fashion, and the mass of the planet increases rapidly.

 Fading Suns Places: Lost World: The Duat
Although their planet remained one of the most inhospitable yet settled, and the DeWeinz cartel maintained many of the original regulations (including, for example, extensive travel restrictions) even after the flow of convict-settlers dried up around 2400, the exotic Muen flora was, in its own way, almost as productive as the Atlantean.
As a final footnote to this period, the planet Mu had been largely ignored by both sides during the conflict, to the detriment of a population heavily dependent on artificial support to survive their environment.
Indeed, Lemuria was the only planet on which the Purge received significant local help, as long-smoldering suspicion of the Shroud and their elite partners among the urban lower-classes was fanned by the presence of the Patriarch into great mobs which initiated just the sort of cleansing so many other worlds had faced.

The evaluation of the measured velocity variations allows to deduce the planet's orbit, in particular the period and the distance from the star, as well as a minimum mass [2].
By comparison with CORALIE, another well known planet-hunting optimized spectrograph installed on the Swiss-Euler 1.2-m telescope at La Silla (cf ESO PR 18/98, 12/99, 13/00), the typical observation times have been reduced by a factor one hundred and the accuracy of the measurements has been increased by a factor ten.
The fact that the line happens to have a given width is related to the existence of the newly found short period planet.

 Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Smallest ever extra-solar planet discovered
Since the first detection in 1995 of a planet around the star 51 Peg by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz from the Geneva Observatory (Switzerland), astronomers have learned that our Solar System is not unique, as more than 120 giant planets orbiting other stars were discovered mostly by radial-velocity surveys.
The evaluation of the measured velocity variations allows to deduce the planet's orbit, in particular the period and the distance from the star, as well as a minimum mass.
In this context, ESO undoubtedly took the leadership with the new HARPS spectrograph (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher) of the 3.6-m telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory.

On the couple of odd occasions I stuck my head into the Rephlex or Skam rooms at this gig there didn't seem to be much going on, although that is probably more a case of unfortunate timing than rather than a reflection on the quality of the music.
In the Mu room a brief DJ set from Mike P had people dancing from the off, which just went to show how eager the crowd was.
Mike P provided another DJ set, comprising mostly jungle material, that was every bit as good as Remarc's and Chevron finished of the night with a laptop DJ set of rave classics like Charlie Says and sped up, raved up, chart tunes like Mel and Kim's Respectable sounding like Chipmunks.

 Luke Vibert: Lover's Acid - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Such a dubious raison d'être seems to be plenty for Luke Vibert and the usually pretty neat Planet Mu record label, the parties responsible for Vibert's latest full length, Lover's Acid.
Lover's Acid is a compilation of the three 12" EPs that Vibert has recorded to date for Planet Mu, the most recent of which is also called Lover's Acid -- evidently, coming up with a new name for the compiled work would have been too much of a strain.
Vibert's work for Planet Mu has all been in the realm of 'acid', an electronic subgenre that features funkier beats than the typical four-on-the-floor of techno and squelchy sequencer noises which generally betray a gradual turning of the 'decay' knob.
