• Free Track #24: BMT – Believe Me (Antony G Remix)

    Hi folks, we’re going strong with another free track promotion. Check out this amazing remix by Antony G below and make sure you download it. I’m really diggin’ the mood in this chilly and atmospheric track, oww yezz.. Listen below!

    BMT – Believe Me (Antony G Remix) by Antony G

    Download the track here

    Antony G, i.e. Antonio Guerrieri, plays with music just for fun (fortunately or not, depending on you) by producing mostly drum n bass tracks and drum n bass remix that can be found just on some social network player (like MySpace, Facebook, SoundCloud and so on), since still unsigned.

    Antony G, i.e. Antonio Guerrieri, comes from Bari, Italy but mostly of him time is spent in Potenza (Italy) where works. What Antonio Guerrieri does for work is out of the scope of the present promotion, so that doesn’t matter.

    Antony G started early playing with analogic circuit boards he made himself. (they were the times of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and progressive music in itself, then Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre the so called electronic music). Indeed, the power of computing, of nowadays sequencers and virtual instruments permitted him to really start composing, arranging, mixing and producing the music he like. (they were the times of The Orb, Aphex Twin and Chemical Brothers).

    It was a video on Circle (Adam F) and the discovering of so much “underground” music styles (thanks to Internet) that addressed him to the Drum n Bass genre.

    He is particularly impressed by LTJ Bukem production and recently by Alaska, Big Bud, Blu Mar Ten, Calibre, Paradox, Seba and some other, so that it easily to anticipate the production style of Antony G: Ambient, Chilled, Jazzy Drum n Bass, the improperly-called Intelligent style, so far from the rough dance styles, but so pleasant to him …

    Please favorite his tracks if you like them, download when possible and feel free to comment! Make sure to check out, as there’s some dope tunes in there…


  • I just moved to New York City

    Oh well, life is crazy sometimes… Last Sunday I actually moved to New York, Manhattan. Yeah, that’s right! Moving here to NYC is pretty much the biggest thing I’ve ever done so I’m really excited… The first impressions of the City includes mad amounts of busy business people, different cultures, yellow cabs rushing through the avenues, skyscrapers nearly touching the clouds, etc. Couldn’t feel much better to be honest. There’s a lot to experience. How cool is that?

    DRUM’N’BASS IN NEW YORK

    I’m really looking forward to checking the local D’n’B scene too. Gonna write some experiences to you for sure, when I get to know the local people better.

    Actually now that I’m living here, I’m also planning to put more effort to music and also I’ll try to update Mineral’s more frequently. As I write this, there’s actually a nice track by Antony G going to be promoted soon, coming from Italy. So check back soon… !

  • Mineral EP released on Lightless Digital

    Lightless Digital continues to put out some more Finnish d&b/jungle mastery. It’s time for Mineral to step up with his bangin’ four-tracker. “Mineral EP” consists of four tracks that will make d&b lovers dance and head-nod like there’s no tomorrow! Check out the soundclips below, and get the tunes at Juno, Digital Tunes, iTunes as well as all other good stores.

    “Twisted Dream” explores the deep roots of break-oriented d&b with a proper heavy, in-your-face approach, getting all wicked with amens and apaches – Source Direct fans will go crazy for this oldschoolish tune…it’s hard to believe this one’s not from 1997!


    “Mercury” is an eerie track that clearly pays homage to the Platinum-Breakz-era jungle, making you both shiver and brock out with its deadly basslines, tight drums & spooky pads. Not for the faint-hearted!


    “Searching for the Daylight” represents the softer and deeper side of Mineral’s production with more subtle and melancholic melodies. This one’s a groovy stepper!

    Finally, the classic Mineral track “Other Life” (released on In Da Jungle) gets the fresh revamp treatment it deserves from another talented Finnish junglehead, Trisector, who remixed the track to the proverbial next level – this is a serious dancefloor-smasher to all you neuro addicts out there.


    This is a must release for all deeper dnb fans. Crank up the bass, put your dancing sneakers on and enjoy another Lightless release that won’t disappoint.

  • Macc is mastering Mineral EP for Lightless Digital

    The title says it all folks. The release date for Mineral EP for Fanu’s Lightless Digital recordings is getting closer. As I’m writing this update, Macc at subvertmastering.com is mastering my tracks for the EP. As I’ve been big a fan of Macc’s dnb production for a long time, it is an honor to have this skilled guy mastering the tracks for my EP… Macc also mastered Dak’s EP for Lightless Digital earlier with splendid results, so I’m expecting some serious deep basses and beats!

    I’ll let you know  more about the Lightless Digital release soon, but it’s getting close I’m tellin’ ya…


  • Free Track #22: Diphasic – de Chante

    The newest Free Track promotion comes from Singapore. “De Chante” by Diphasic is a really deep and atmospheric track with some special vibes. Check it out!

    * update at the end of 2011: This track was actually signed and released on on Sonoptix Records, so it is no longer free for dl. But you can sitll support Diphasics and buy the track.

    Diphasic – de Chante [listen mineral_free022]
    de Chante by diphasic

    After years of playing in punk rock bands, diphasic gradually veered toward electronic music production. Drawing inspirations from diverse influences, his productions are culminations of percussive grooves and esoteric soundscapes of dub. The minimal atmospheres in his tracks are really unique and very much worth listening. For example track “Discretionary” is a fresh minimal track that I’d recommend. Check out his other productions at Diphasic’s soundcloud!
