I have been in contact with Manuel Mind from Switzerland for a long time. He was one of the earliest supporters of that new sound called “Trance”, back in the early 90s, when I did my first recordings a Microglobe and Mindgear on MFS Records from Berlin and when Cosmic Baby and me compiled and produced “Tranceformed From Beyond”, the very first compilation exploring that new and exciting sound in a mixed format. When he asked me to contribute my Mindgear track “Don’t Panic” to his compilation “Sonic Trance”, I was so thrilled to receive a request from abroad, that I produced a special remix of that track called “Don’t Panic (Transpanic Mix)“, that has never been re-released on any other format so far.
We met for the first time at the end of 1995 on a rave in Zürich. Trance had already become a formula back then I was looking for deeper ways to express myself in music. He was playing on the Drum & Bass floor and I was a bit puzzled at first, since I could not really connect that sound with him. However, when he played “Timeless” by Goldie and other songs, I don’t recall anymore, music that consisted of deep basslines and emotional pads, I understood that his love for these musical elements made him embrace Drum & Bass, as a logical progression from the Trance sound of the early 90s.
We got in contact once again in the 10s, inevitably through the social networks. He noticed that I rediscovered Funk, the sound that made me turn to electronic music and drum machines in the first place. And I was stunned, that he also produced a similiar sound. I featured his tunes on my NuFunk show “Motherfunk” on BLN.fm and he asked me for a remix for his new tune “Strange Sounds”. So here once again a circle closes after 20 years.
At first I wanted to have this remix released as a mijkfunk Remix, but I don’t want to make these separations anymore. It was good to separate my first excursions into the realm of NuFunk and FutureBoogie under a new project name, but in 2013 it just makes sense to me to merge all the influences that I gathered over 2 decades into a Mijk van Dijk sound, may it be boogie infused or harmony infected.
So I’m really happy to present to you my “Mijk van Dijk Boogie Remix” of Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasi’s  ”Strange Sounds” on Le Bal Records from Zürich/ Switzerland, with remixes by Foremost Poets, DJ Slugo and Mijk van Dijk.
Also available on vinyl July 16th 2013.

The second release on Nothing But Nice comes once again from co-founder James Andrew. The ‘Mission Of Vision EP’ showcases the labels core identity; four cuts that transcend house, breakbeat and garage, made with the dance floor in mind.  

Big basslines, punchy drums and subtle hints of acid feature alongside classic organs and floaty pads, to give the EP that signature NBN spin.

Most people's first encounter with Triform's 'Vinaloop' came with the sight of a clapping Christian AB alongside a grinning Ferro at A'DAM Toren with the video dominating the social media waves with cries of the usual 'Track ID???' to no success. After a few months of re-circulations, our shrugs of indifference led to the belief that this was an impossible-to-find track and would remain unknown indefinitely.

Except it wasn't an obscure, '90s limited press track from an even more obscure label, but the track 'Vinaloop', from Triform aka Scott Featherstone, which launches Desyn's new label, Faciendo. The digging renaissance has elevated interest in older music like few could've imagined, with producers like Scott, whose records from the late '90s have fetched a pretty penny on Discogs, being able to release music to the masses some two decades later thanks to one of the finest diggers in the scene, Desyn.
