Mineral – Atmospheric Drum'n'bass

Here’s the new Jungle Visions pt5 mixtape that I recorded a few days ago here in New York City. Jungle Visions is a mixtape series about various styles of Jungle/Drum’n’bass. It explores the deeper and more atmospheric sides of the genre. After being on hold for a while, it’s time to bring the mixtape series back with a fresh mix. Hope you enjoy the atmospheric mix.

I was recently interviewed by Finland Center Foundation (FCF), an organization that is the meeting point of Finnish and American culture, commerce and community.

Read my “Finns in New York” interview by Katariina Forsberg at FCF’s blogsite:

It’s about time Finnish DnB culture gets some attention in New York, don’t you think?

I noticed that the Science Helsinki Crew has put up another podcast up at their site. Actually I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’m about to do that right now. And the tracklist seems so promising that I’ve gotta post the mix here right away… Check out this Podcast including lots of 90’s classics by St. Laurent.

Esc, the man behind the recent Mineral.fi Free Tracks Season Two Mixtape, has come up with an idea to pick up one drum’n’bass tune that he is feeling once a week. He’s also planning to maybe record a mixtape later on when he gets more tracks chosen. I was really honoured to have my new track Living the Dream chosen as the first track of the series. That’s great! Oh and thanks to everyone for the extremely nice feedback of the track. Please spread the word, comment and favorite the track if you like it!

Make sure to check out Esc’s artist page for more tunes and his upcoming gigs: http://www.facebook.com/Escbreaks

A busy start to the New Year, thanks to everyone who listened to or downloaded the Mineral.fi Free Tracks Season Two mix. Here’s a track that I’ve been working on recently in between enjoying the seasonal festivities, making New Year resolutions and spending the occasional late night at http://www.gamingclub.com/fi whilst mixing down some tracks. Listen below and please let me know what you think about the finished mix.

“Living the Dream” is about the mysterious feeling when dreams and reality blur together. Although woken up, you still feel like the dreams go on… Enjoy this minimalistic dnb track and feel free to comment & share & sign. – Mineral @ NYC 2012 (www.mineral.fi)
