In addition to producing, Mineral has been spinning records as a DJ since 2001 and he was one of the promoters and organizers of the famous Pressure club in Tampere in the early 2000’s.

His recent collaboration projects include an LP with Omni Music owner Eschaton, remix EP with the UK producer Moakz, plus collabos with Finnish junglists like Resound & Esc….

Mineral focuses on atmospheric and mellow tunes with additional old-school spices, although every now and then he produces darker & rougher sounds. Mineral is truly a profound lover of drum’n’bass.
