Before the dawn of MP3s and "lossless audio," there was the cassette. Music you could literally touch and feel--the rattle of the cassette shell, J-cards, actually pushing the rewind button… Join us on a voyage with Dubmonger in a "Re-Translation to Another Galaxy," where he goes back to the future to remix five tunes from Translation's dub vaults. Coming in at just under 30 minutes and over a year in the making, this limited edition cassette features live bass, guitars, and lots tasty tape echo and spring reverb dubbing run straight through the mixing desk to inject that extra bit of analogue warmth that's missing in many of today's recordings--believe us, you'll hear the difference when you pump this through your cassette deck!

Mindmapper & Flatliners - Lemon Haze (Dubmonger's When Life Gives You Lemons Make Dub Mix)

Having over 30 releases out there on many different labels, soundaddict Rogier Habraken a.k.a. Mindmapper lost his status as "new-comer" long ago. Thanks to support of many keyfigures within the scene, he has laid down a solid foundation for the future. Backed up by many gigs, residencies and appearances on events, radioshows and festivals in both the Netherlands and abroad. Next to that he's co-owner of Break-Fast Audio, sound designer and mix engineer for Dutch broadcasting and has a curating duty for the online music discovery service 22tracks.com.

Coming from a background of working with bands, playing piano, double bass and electric guitar for many years and building his own studio, Mindmapper has got all the musical skills a producer might want. What started out as recording and arranging songs played by his band, evolved in a serious affection for cutting, sampling and composing electronic music. Combined with his education as an Audio Designer, Mindmapper is a musical mastermind whose style expands way beyond just Drum & Bass. 

It's hard to describe his broad spectrum of productions in few words but one can find all sort of influences ranging from techno to rock and dub to classical. His tunes and collabarations tend to explore the "boundaries" of the genre and have been spotted, not surprisingly, by a broad audience. Support comes from Loxy, Doc Scott, Hazard, Hype, Octane & DLR, D-Kay, Bailey, Fabio, Consequence, Gremlinz, June Miller amongst many others. With material forthcoming on Samurai Music, Dispatch, Eternia Music, Soundium X, Creative Wax and CX, 2013 looks bright.
