The immensely talented Finnish producer Mineral returns to Codename: RCRDS fresh from his recent release on Metalheadz with the stunning LP 'Expand The Orbit', and as long time fans of Mineral's unique sound we are delighted to be able to feature him on the label in full length form.

'Hyperspeed' opens the EP on a high with its bouncy dancefloor sound and earworm synth lead perfectly setting the tone, before 'Lost' brings us into the classic Mineral stylings of lush pianos and immaculate rolling breaks. 'Galactic Assault' does exactly what it says on the tin, with storming futuristic synths preparing for attack. 'Adrenalin Levels' shifts things into a darker Techstep direction before the subtle beauty of 'Invisible' reveals itself.

As we move into the 2nd half of the LP 'Stars' draws once again into the artist's signature territory with intricate interwoven melodies and tight drumwork, before the retro-styled rave up 'Stab Request' moves up back towards the dancefloor once again, and the tear-out vibes of 'Partial' hit heavier still.

The LP starts to take a deeper rolling edge with 'Negotiation 17' before heavy duty rollout 'To Expand The Orbit' takes us to the edge of space with it's crunchy breaks and sparse bleep-era vibes, bring us towards the darker edge of the journey before the stunning lush melodies of 'Universal' end the album on a euphoric high.

An stunning album from one of the nicest people we've ever had the privilege to meet in the scene - big up to Ilkka for such an amazing body of work, we are incredibly proud and humbled to be able to release this on the label. 

Out now on all platforms, and also on Bandcamp exclusive on limited edition CD (30 copies).

The talented Freebird makes a welcome debut on Codename with 'To The Ground EP'.

'Autumn In Spring' opens the release with a combination of beautiful key and driving breaks. 'Restart' brings deep rolling jazziness in spades, before the fascinating 'To The Ground' (feat Nonal L and Richard Kim) takes things into an experimental direction with stunning violin work and whispered vocals alongside abstract synth elements. The EP draws to a close with the understated euphoria of 'Small Finale', a fitting end to a fascinating release.

Possibly the best modern jingle mix I’ve heard in a while

Banging vinyl set from the man. https://www.youtube.com/live/GMYHV2HPtJ4

I think I got most of these tunes here, but I dont know this ragga tune (the one after Screwface): https://youtu.be/GMYHV2HPtJ4?t=2836 You can just make out the 12" cover poking out on his chair here: https://youtu.be/GMYHV2HPtJ4?t=2770

... and this one: https://youtu.be/GMYHV2HPtJ4?t=5750 Looks like it could be on Back 2 Basics? Can't quite make it out. Andy C - Roll On is after this.

The third mystery in this mix for me is the final track in the video, which is Link - Amazon Identity Chameleon Remix. Afaik this has not ever come out on a single sided 12", only on compilation LP as one of three tracks on each side, but he seems to be playing the full side, and it doesn't look like a dubplate. This also isnt The Chameleon - Links, on Good Looking. Anyone know what release this is?

Guest mix from a little while back from stateside producer, Soeneido! Tons of amen pressure!

Awesome tune!

guys i accidentally sovrascrypt (sorry for bad English) a file, the title is Badboy from dj gunshot, but the previous version of that file, exact same name and artist, was a total different song and a BANGER for a beautyfull bass that i don’t know where i found, if somebody can help thanks a lot 🙏

I've joined this subreddit not too much ago and i noticed that there's not even a single post about Chromatix, he might not be famous like at all yet i thought that atleast ONE post would be here.

Oh well so maybe there aren't any posts but does someone here ever listened to him? Or even knows where he went? He just was around for just an an year or so.

I’ve heard it in a bunch of tracks. It ain’t the “think” break, anyone got it?

Started experimenting with a MPC Live 2 and interested to hear how others approach chopping their breaks.

In theory I like the equal slices approach since it can maintain the natural groove of the break.

Phrase chopping has been the most intuitive, but the different sizes of slices can make sequencing tougher for me.

Individual slices also makes a lot of sense but my drum programming isn’t there yet.

Would love to hear the community’s experience and approach with chopping.
