Esc alias Juha Riipinen is a co-founder of the very first weekly running drum’n’bass club “Kongo” in Tampere Finland back in the 1990’s. Later on, his talents behind the decks has made him a popular guest dj at parties around Finland.

In addition to his busy dj schedule, Esc produces music too. His drum’n’bass release “Lost and Found” (IDJ) w/ a remix by myself, is available at proper digital recordstores (e.g. juno, beatport). Also, Esc has made quite a few ambient downtempo tunes that are available at his soundcloud. Make sure that you also check and follow Esc’s Facebook page.

Big thanks to all you producers for the Season Two free tracks and special thanks to Esc for recording this awesome mixtape.

Check this amazing music video by Krabas. It’s a video of the last week’s free track Mineral – Streets of New York. It is such a cool video that it makes me shiver, I’ve got no words to describe it, really. Propah feelings, thanks Krabas!

This next free track is all about the unique atmosphere that the Streets in New York gives you. It’s the City that Never Sleeps. Lights at the Skycrapers set up a unique atmosphere that is hard to describe with words… That is when music comes in.

So with that said, grab a coffee, start listening and please share your comments if this atmosphere hits you…

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.
