Mindex Opts for a Rhythmic Twist in Trapped
Beginning his euphonic journey in 2011 with the Neverland album on Time Resonance Music, Mindex has thrilled his fans with soundscapes, dance-floor bangers, and tantalizing psychedelic melodies. His expertise in creating works of mind-bending complexity and creativity have come to a head in recent years, catching eyes and ears by surprise whenever the occasion strikes. In lieu of ground shaking bass, the methodical producer has chosen to bring four tracks out of hiding that emit subtle shapes and colorful patterns. His latest EP, Trapped, challenges listeners to explore the many corners and crannies of his stylings while exciting their senses with hip shaking snares and double-timed high hats.
The Trapped EP explores the psychotropic world of sounds and textures brought to life by colorful tones and vocal riffs. The use of cascading kicks and synthesized drum patterns keeps the listener's ears perked, while long decays in the background bend and tremble. “Ocean Featuring Qoi'' is a jazzy, lo-fi track that has exciting licks of vocals, cascading keys and delicate metallic percussion. The second track, “Happy Trappy'', begins with an echoing melody that gladly meets a happy percussion line. Mindex’s use of double time signatures creates a drippy feeling in all the right places, merging his choice touches with the otherwise disparate genre.
With a consistent and evolving output honed in over years of potent concentration, Mindex has amassed an impressive catalog, and is clearly no closer to tapping out the creative well. Keep yours sharp on further movements from this multi-faceted artist as your ears soak in his latest EP, and you’re sure to see his next body of work just over the horizon.
