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
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…
The next free track is up, and it’s a really good one. Our special guest is Dangerdogg hailing from Finland. Check out his rough basslines and rollerbreakz in this fresh track The Moving Couple. Yeah!
Dangerdogg – The Moving Couple [download mineral_free020]
The Dude is what the Dude does.
Dangerdogg is a skateboarder turned dj/producer hailing from Helsinki, Finland. Having his influences from doom metal to rocksteady and blues this fine young skaterat isn’t afraid to combine different styles and aesthetics in to his productions.
He’s already been causing mayhem on the dancefloors with his partner Sir Nenis under the Sharkslayer moniker but this time he’s going solo for a DNB treat.
Enjoy the track and keep on sending the demos! Much appreciated.
We have another great free track up, by DJ Mauoq from Rome, now based in London. Unknown Recipient is a nice atmospheric track with some techish spices innit. Check it out!
Mauoq – Unknown Recipient [download mineral_free_019]
Unknown Recipient [2011] by Mauoq
Mauoq is a dj/producer from Rome, now based in London. I had the chance to ask Mauoq about his musical backround & interests:
“I started DJing at student parties in Italy in the early ’90s and fell in love with DnB shortly after.I was exposed to music softwares in the late nineties and that slowly but steady became my obsession. I’ve played many clubs in Rome and London, but now I’m concentrating more on production. After years fiddling with various electronic music toys it’s only recently that I started feeling relatively happy about my music and my first release is coming out end of March on Green Queen Music.
Generally speaking I would like the world to know that drum’n’bass has evolved. There’s now much more to it than just rattling drums and overloud basslines. This is what I try to do with my podcast and ultimately with my own production.
This track “Unknown Recipient” was written almost entirely two years ago and I thought that a little polish would have made it a nice listen. I think I was right. I hope you agree. Enjoy.”
I’m really digging your style Mauoq, keep it up! There’s some really cool tracks in Mauoq’s soundcloud, I’d recommend you to listen “Aerosolid”, a track that has gotten dj support from Stunna.
Check more of Mauoq’s production, quality mixes and more:
This week’s Free Track comes from the UK by an artist called J Melodic. Jay’s songs are heavily inspired by the melodic side of drum’n’bass, just like his artistname says. Grab a coffee and start listening “Key Tempo”. Njoy!

J Melodic is a UK based Dj and Producer. He started DJing back in 95 playing DnB and Uk Garage/Soulful House. After practising his DJ skills for five years, J Melodic naturally progressed in producing DnB/soulful House and other genres in 2000.

The Free Track of The Week #17 comes from Resound, a good friend of mine who’s been around in the dnb scene for more than a decade. Check the atmospheres in the track “Northern Lights” by the one and only Resound – produced back in 2000!
Resound – Northern Lights [download mineral.fi_free017]
Resound is a musician/producer and DJ from Tampere, Finland. Many know him from his music on such record labels as Digital Soundboy, Renegade Hardware, Razor’s Edge/Metalheadz, Function and Secret Operations. He also does a lot of mixing/engineering/mastering work for others.
Resound’s style is timeless, I’d say. Just think about this track “Northern Lights”: it was done more than a decade ago and it still sounds SO fresh with the atmospheric melodies and fine unique beat variations. No wonder Resound is recognized worldwide as a producer and dj.
OUT NOW: LOXY & RESOUND – VERTIGO (EXIT RECORDS / MOSAIC LP)
One of Resound’s newer productions, “Vertigo”, done in collaboration with Loxy was released recently, and it is definitely worth checking out. Listen & buy at Juno and other good record stores. Also, hold tight for the Loxy & Resound album which is due on Exit later…
