"An Alternative Mind" is the 7th installment to the all original mix series containing 18 brand new songs, of which are a different side to the Mindtality Project.  This little batch of Music I hold close to my heart and touches back to more of the guitar melodies I wrote growing up. Rather then spoil it all in the description, enjoy 48 minutes of never before shared music, some of which I have held onto for 7+ years.

This track is titled Wazzup and I am happy to present you this bizarre and hilarious tune that I really have no explanation for.  Buy my recent album Jazztronautz to own this tune.

Press Release:
Today So-Gnar and Michal Menert unveil his first beat tape, Rust, marking the beginning of a series in collaboration with the Antimatter crew. This mixtape is a deconstructed and raw look into the birthplace of many of other full length tracks. This collection of forgotten beats seamlessly flows from beginning to end, although never originally intended as a long playing release. A representation of moments, Rust reflects on a past that seems more golden than it was.

Working on these creations between 2002 and 2006, parallel to when Menert was collaborating with Derek Vincent Smith on the multi-dimensional, Taking Up Your Precious Time, these stereo mixdowns were simply lost in the shuffle. Beats that Menert loved and continued to stumble upon for the past several years, Rust, is was compiled as a gift to his loyal fans prior to the debut of his long awaited second solo LP, Even If It Isn’t Right, slated for release on April 24th.

Sprinkled with smooth guitar riffs, sultry percussion, and velvety horns you’ll quickly pick-up on Menert’s signature style, fusing old world sounds with modern variations. Classic samples and contemporary beats exemplify why Michal’s style is so unique and sought after. Tune in, chill out and soak up the next 43 minutes of auditory exploration.

Quandary EP

pheel. - Quandary [PREMIERE]

Management: jared@mammothmusicgroup.com

Anchor Bay, California based electronic music artist and producer Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own. 

“A synthesis of past, present, and future, elegantly woven together by the hands of Michal Menert.” – Huffington Post on Space Jazz

A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Menert a deep palate from which to draw; his passion for original analog sounds coupled with a vast knowledge of music history has given him a unique ability to pull from the global creative canon with ease. A multi-instrumentalist, he incorporates live guitar and keys into his final production for a full sound and rich feel. 

As Menert co-produced the chart topping Pretty Lights album Taking Up Your Precious Time it was natural that he was the first artist to join Pretty Lights Music. His debut solo album Dreaming of a Bigger Life was released in 2010, followed by 2012’s mega-LP Even If It Isn’t Right. In winter of 2015 Menert released the highly anticipated Space Jazz, followed by fall 2015’s debut release by his band Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics, 1. His next release is expected in winter 2018.

In the live realm, Menert supplied sound design for Dead & Co tours in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, he supplied sound design on Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum rerelease in Fall 2016. Building on that relationship, Menert in both a featured performer and co-producer on Hart’s next studio record, slated for release in the fall of 2017.

Menert’s reputation as a live performer continues to grow, as he brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band. His collaborations have led to the formation of myriad ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic) & Club Scouts (with Mux Mool). Over the years Menert has shared the stage with a number of musical luminaries including STS9, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, and more, and played legendary venues including the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, The Gorge in Washington and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre (twice in 2016 alone.)

Committed to a community driven approach to collaborative creativity, Menert works hand in hand with producers he chooses for his own record label, Super Best Records. A dynamic and ideological producer, collaborating and working closely with a new generation of hip-hop & EDM producers, Menert is dedicated to bringing a new musical vision to life free from limitation.
