  • Farewell New York!

    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.

    This time your portion of soothing tunes and daydreaming mood comes up from Finland and artist called Mineral. The two tracks are produced in old good manner of home-listening drum-n-bass, though chill out rooms will gladly appreciate them also.

    Rolling drum loops with perfect pace and break downs, supported by flawless textures flying around and soft sub and classic reese basses. Both tracks stand out from other pieces of the genre in their unique arrangement structure and theme development.
