Taimur & Artro - Mindframe EP - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 013 - 14TH RELEASE]
 
BLKMARKET MUSIC announces the 14th release on the label entitled ‘Mindframe.’  

Label boss Taimur & long time friend Artro hailing from Costa Rica come together to bring you the label’s latest release that was recorded at Trial Und Error Studio in San José, Costa Rica in 2023. The two forged a friendship back in 2012 when Taimur was invited to San José to play the legendary club Vertigo alongside Artro. On their recent meet up in summer of 2023, the two friends played together once again at Antik club in San José and went into the studio together for the first time. The result was Mindframe.

A1 - ‘Know Your Friends’ Vox version takes you on a sinister techno and bleep adventure reminding you of the friends you make. 

A2 - ‘Machina’ is an ode to UR. A techno track as if the world was to be taken over by robots and machines that destroyed humanity. 
That were built and placed by those that are evil. But in the end, the good humans win.

B1 - The sinister techno and bleep track ‘Know Your Friends’ gets a Voxless interpretation for those that just want the rhythm.

B2 - ‘Elements’ is a self check peak time bomb that reminds you what you can do and to not overthink what you do.

We are excited to share this new release with you all.
