London-born producer Colin Lindo aka Nubian Mindz is not your average predictable artist. You know his stuff's gonna be good, but there's a solid chance you'll be surprised with a thing or two in every track. Similar approach applies here. Generally speaking, the music is deep and rich, yet very direct and club ready, but with plenty of those unpredictable moments which made us go crazy for these tracks in the first place. A1 - "Aqua Lifeforms" is perhaps the least intense cut on the record, a sort of a slow grower which builds up momentum by layering sounds and pads. A2 - "Body Mover" is exactly what the title tells you. Crunchy peak time tune for the dance floor, with shuffling broken beats wrapping around deep chords that hint what's happening on the flip side. B1 - "Doorway To Her" is a nod to the classic deep techno chord-ish approach. Well, sort of. The song lets you think that until the first curveball just before the half of the track. After that, it's just deeper than deep. B2 - "Pulsing Hearts" is another well-crafted dance floor cut. The track moves from deep meditative vibe to subtle acid tripping, just to be finished with a proper bass workout. Overall, we couldn't think of a better way to mark the 10th Barba release. More

Following up on the success of the Amir Alexander/Traxx split EP, Anunnaki Cartel takes a different direction and continues to surprise supporters and evolve. Enlisting broken beat veteran Nubian Mindz for duties on AC006, they deliver what will prove to be yet another successful EP. "Ideas of Music" is the title for this musical excursion where broken elements and 4/4 kick flirt with each other to deliver an outstanding musical statement. More

Phuture Shock Musik have the special honour to present the latest release by bass music pioneer - Colin Lindo aka Nubian Mindz. A certified veteran in the game, with a sizeable back catalog that spans releases for seminal labels such as 2000Black, Delsin, Rush Hour, and Archive, not to mention some groundbreaking efforts on 4hero's trailblazing Reinforced label where it all began for the producer under the moniker Alpha Omega.
Following an indefinite hiatus from the industry , Nubian Mindz is back with a vengeance with the striking results of 'TV Watches You' EP that further cements his legendary status as one of the most forward thinking craftsmen of next level electronic music, whose innovative vision and genre defying approach towards production goes hand in hand with the diverse cross-genre agenda of Phuture Shock. Lead track 'Dutty Beach' hits hard from the outset, a broken ragga-tech romp made up of raw neck snapping snares, juggernaut kicks and uncompromising thuggish bass, all fittingly set to a post-apocalyptic backdrop. The para-technoid stomp of 'TV Watches You' follows, where a menacing bassline grinds its way through the dystopian chaos of swirly sci-fi synths and manic delayed snares. While the standalone B-side 'Many Poly' sees the bass advocator momentarily channel into his early game-changing D&B roots to cook up a futuristic proto-junglist style roller like nothing ever heard before.
