Mineral – Atmospheric Drum'n'bass

Hi folks! To celebrate my forthcoming birthday tomorrow, and as a token of gratitude towards all of you out there, I want to share a gift, a new free track: Mineral – One Day. It is an atmospheric drum’n’bass tune strongly influenced by  the 90’s golden era of atmospheric dnb. I want to dedicate this song to my late grandmother, who was always very supportive towards my music. She used to listen for hours while I played the piano and improvised melodies of my own back then. Some of the piano stems in this song are actually recordings of myself playing the piano over two decades ago. I wanted to grasp a moment of time from the past and carry it to the present moment.

As you may notice, this track has a relatively long intro, around 2,5 minutes in total. And the total length of the track is nearly 9 minutes. The BPM is 160, giving some space to breath & groove both for the breaks and the melodic parts. Wanted to create something slow, yet evolving. So leave your stress for about 10 mins, relax, grab a cup of coffee/beer and I enjoy the song. – Mineral 9.12.2022

ps. my biggest thanks & recommendations to Resoundsound for the mastering duties.

Hi people, great news! The next EP on Omni Music by myself is out. This time I got a great opportunity to collaborate with my good friend Resound, who did a remix of my track “The Whispers Within”. Thanks Ilpo and Omni head quarters! Hope you enjoy Mineral ft. Resound – Sustain EP. Have a great summer!

The unstoppable Mineral is back once again. He has crafted more intrictate works of art as deep vibes and melodic bliss entice the listener further and further into his layers of sound. Punchy drums, emotional synths and powerful bass propel these beautiful compositions forward expertly mixing danceable rhythms with moving and emotive harmonies. The veteran beat master Resound jumps on board for remix duties where he takes the original elements of ‘The Whispers Within’ and blends them into his own incredible new tale.

Today marks my 40th birthday, and I wish to celebrate it with you:

Please enjoy my new track “Mineral – Existence” as a free download.

This is atmospheric dnb, a genre that I am profoundly connected with. Big greetings to all of you who have supported during the years, and especially the Atmospheric Drum & Bass Revival -friends at the FB group. The community keeps the genre alive and in good health!

The artwork picture is by myself, took a photo a week ago. Beautiful winter scenery in Finland. Thought it fits the moods of the track. May the music fill your days with joy. – Mineral 10.12.2021

ps. thanks to Resound @ Resoundsound for the mastering. Big ups. Much recommended.

The incredible talent of Mineral is back to follow up his incredible debut EP on Omni with a lush new LP that is full to the brim with sublime harmonies. Delicate melodies playfully twist and turn throughout as they dance melodiously with the soaring pads and atmospheric beats. Floating through a myriad flavours of atmospheric drum and bass, Mineral has shown that he is a talent that has a long way to go, from the modern break-work on The Whispers Within to his homage to the original 90’s sounds with the beautiful Inspirations, this soaring collection of works is another classic in the making and proves just adept Mineral is at creating music for the mind, body and soul.

Hi guys! It’s been a while since my last mix, so here it comes. The next episode of the Jungle Visions -series wonders mostly in the realms of old school dnb. Most of these tracks are released before 1998, although there are a couple of newer tracks as well. I really can’t tell how much I enjoy mixing my track “Three Decks” to Genotype’s “Capacity”… If you’re too busy to hear the whole mixtape just rewind to around 16:30+ and enjoy the double drop! It’s BAAAD.
