  • Still remember Invaders?

    Invaders Club 2003 flyer front

    Club Invaders by Djs Squash, Trito and Mineral was one of the most dancefloor oriented drum’n’bass clubs back in 2003 in Finland. I actually had a little chat with Squash & Trito last friday about bringing the club back alive. I’m not gonna promise anything yet, but maybe we will see a comeback of the club in the Future.

    THE INVADERS SPIRIT LIVES: DJ MIX BY SQUASH

    I’d like to honour the “Invaders spirit” by linking this DJ mix by Squash AKA Kesämies. It’s very Invaders stylish mix that is recorded back in 2002 🙂 Check it out:

  • Free Track of The Week #9: Puzzle – Kumoi

    It’s time to present a fresh Drum’n’bass track from an extremely potential young talent, Puzzle. The atmosphere is very special in this Free Track of The Week #9, “Kumoi”.

    Puzzle – Kumoi [download www.mineral.fi_free009]

    Puzzle – Kumoi (FREE!) by Puzzle

    PuzzlePuzzle alias Juho Kavasto is a young talent from Finland. Being only 15 years at the moment, Puzzle has an excellent future as a Drum’n’bass artist. Several labels are already interested in his production, which is not surprising: simply listen to this guy’s tracks and be amazed of the tight drum’s and the deep basslines.

    Keep an eye for Puzzle’s production, as I’m sure he will break big time in the future!
