D*Minds (formerly Distorted Minds) is a collaboration between Jon Midwinter and Alistair Vickery; and it’s one that’s been going strong in the South West for over a decade now. Aside from their drum & bass productions, which have found homes on labels like Hospital, Digital Soundboy, Playaz and Break Beat Kaos, they also run their own record labels (D*Style and H.E.N.C.H.) as well as the club night RUN in their native Bristol. H.E.N.C.H. (aka Hard Earned Never Caught Hustling) was set up primarily as a home from Jakes to explore the darker end of the dubstep spectrum whilst D*Styles exists as a vehicle for the work of D*Minds and for other forward thinking d&b producers – their first signing was TC, a man who you’ll regularly see adorning our lineups.
Appearing here on Friday in the Critical Sound Room Two takeover, D*Minds have put together a mix that encapsulates the energy and stylistic array they’ll be displaying on the night. Featuring a slew of their material alongside pieces from producers like S.P.Y, Enei and the Icicle and Commix collaboration ‘Ultraclean,’ it sets the tone for this weekend perfectly.
Vocalist Riya is said to be currently working on a new album with the legendary producer D-bridge. The talents of these two individuals are sure to combine to make some sublime music! Check out their first track (forthcoming on exit records), which featured on the fabriclive 50 mix.
