Mineral – Atmospheric Drum'n'bass

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.

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.

My good friend Resound has finally released his Burning Shadows LP with Loxy. The release is out on Exit recordings and it is really something special. My personal favorite tracks in the LP must be Part Human (simply unbelivable!), Black Hole and Vindication, although it is very hard to choose from the total 13 top-quality tracks. Congratz on this outstanding release to Loxy & Resound. Go read more and buy your copy at www.loxyresound.com.

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…

MINERAL & RESOUND IN COLLABORATION: NEW TRACK ALMOST FINISHED

We’ve also been working on a yet untitled drum’n’bass track with Resound, and the track is about to get finished.

I’m planning to record a mixtape later this week including this new track (and bunch of other new tracks!), and it’ll be available here at mineral.fi next week. This is a mix that I’ve been planning to record for a long time, so check back soon!
