Søndae Records is proud to present the first release by Munich-based DJ and producer Mined Music. He is one half of the German duo Mined & Forrest, popular for their own groovy version of funky breaks, ghetto funk and glitch hop. Instead of creating strictly dance-floor orientated tracks, Mined Music focuses on more artsy and atmospheric vibes. The cuts on this new single are a delicious combination of chillout, downtempo, and live music with electronic elements.
The first track, “Levitate,” is a smooth, cinematic, and chill tune, yet with a funky bass line and enough pace to get feet moving. It features the French singer Christelle Constantin, delivering true passion with her beautiful voice.
The second track, “The Pressure,” slows things down and creates a subtle and moody vibe, combining live elements with dirty synth sounds. It opens the path for Portugal-based vocalist Maree Lawn who completes the thrilling picture with her soulful lyrics. Fans of Mined & Forrest already know her talent through her appearances on their EPs.
Mined Music started producing back in 2001, mainly hip-hop and soul tunes, while studying music arrangement and audio engineering. He was live keyboardist in various bands from 2005 - 2012, playing big festivals on a regular basis. In 2012, Mined Music started DJ’ing and producing electronic music, combining his live experiences and multi-genre knowledge in his productions. In 2017, he and Forrest Funk founded the DJ/producer duo Mined & Forrest and consistently released music on top labels like Breakbeat Paradise and Timewarp Music. They’ve remixed artists like Jack & Jointz, Discobeta, Lack Jemmon, and many more.
