Always Here sounds like a rave afterparty set in the clouds. It's gentle and emotional but danceable. It's built upon lush electronica synths, it hints at a tresillo beat, it uses the odd poppy piano chord and it's topped by an ethereal shoegaze vocal; it's a track that's genreless, and at the same time a creative amalgamation of a multitude of quintessential London sounds. 

As the closing track of Minev's upcoming album ‘Journey’, Always Here feels like a homage of the larger work which it is part of and the emotional rollercoaster that it takes you on. It will take you through nostalgia, yearning, desperation, euphoria, and finally a sense of catharsis. 

Featuring vocals by Minev that are at times soft and comforting and at times impassioned and heart-wrenching, Always Here feels like a very personal specimen of the electronica genre. 

"I had to chuck everyone out of my house to record this one. I wanted it to be just me and the mic so I could let loose in a way that I've not done before." 

  - Minev

Minev - Always Here

Reflections curve inward, folding thoughts into hidden veins of silence. Each sound evokes a trace: of memory, of presence, of the unspoken. Like blood made of mirrors, music pulses with absence and recognition, traveling through the wind and the mind. What is felt is not always seen, but it endures, suspended between what once was and what is still forming.
