Mineral – Atmospheric Drum'n'bass

The next Mineral release will be released by InDaJungle Recordings soon, 16 November to be exact. Check out the preview below, boh boh!

Last September I wrote about moving to New York from Finland. Now as I’m writing this update, the magnificent year is coming to it’s end and we are moving back to Finland with my family this Friday. Spending the year in New York has been without doubt the best year of my life, in many ways.

The year culminated to it’s climax when our little baby girl was born on 18 August 2012. I cannot tell you how proud father I am. This is definitely the biggest thing ever happened to me… We will see what kind of music her generation will listen to, but I will do my very best to bring her into the world of breaks and jungle, that’s for sure! 😉

Anyways, I will most certainly miss the city and New York will always have a place in my heart.

With that being said, I’d like to share once again the music video of my track “The Streets of New York”. I produced this track last fall shortly after moving to Manhattan. Farewell, Big Apple!

If you like, the track is available for free download here.

Bulb has just released his newest Into the deep podcast 017. The mix is high quality, as always, and it even includes a free track by myself “Everytime You Are Near” [Mastik]. Big ups again Bulb. Check check!

The guys at the ScienceHki crew are going strong. This time they present a guest podcast #34 by Luna Chill, who runs a weekly Subzup! & Ivah Sound at Helsinki.

I just came back to NYC from a really exciting trip to Atlanta. Now as I’m browsing through the new mixtapes and all the latest dnb stuff, guess what I found? The two jungle badboys Fanu & Docius have finally joined forces to bring us a massive monthly Drum’n’bass radioshow at Bassoradio.

I really can’t tell how much I’ve enjoyed both these guys selections for years now, so this union is GOOD news. Fanuism meets Viidakkorumpu, yeah that’s what I’m talking ’bout… It doesn’t get any better than that. These junglists will be hosting this monthly show from now on, so these Fridays are something I’m really looking forward to. Boh!

Anyways, In this radioshow 15 June 2012 they also played one of my tunes, Naraka remix of the track Spider, big ups guys! Check the recording below and tune the basses to max, ‘cos this 1 is a killa!

OK, I’m off to the gym now listening this mix. GGrreeat!

From Fanu’s site:

“I’m feeling the love! 

I’ve been feeling the increasing support and love I’ve been receiving from all my fans lately, and I feel that I want to be giving something back. I’m giving away two of my first full-length albums, ‘Daylightless’ from 2007 and ‘Homefree’ from 2009 (As some of you may know, so far I’ve put out three albums + a collabo one). Also, may this serve as something ya’ll can chew on while waiting for the new EP (titled “Coffee Crazy EP”).” 

Here they are as a convenient download thru Dropbox or Soundcloud – you can choose the method that suits you best.

It’s time for another Jungle Visions mixtape. This time my main man Juha Riipinen alias Esc has recorded a brilliant mix with lots of fresh & dope tracks.

Really digging the mix, thanks again mate! This one is a MUST, check it out below.
