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.
