Side A encapsulates the psychedelic groove ridden dance floor focused styles of Abdul Raeva and Boulderhead.

The B-side showcases the more uplifting ‘light and airy’ side of Zobol’s melody enriched productions intertwined with Toke’s fully charged open/close/sunrise/sunset masterpiece.

A ton of hardware, software, technical expertise and musical flare combined with hours of practice have been funneled into this next blend of which I thoroughly hope you enjoy. I hope it helps bring joy and love into the much needed dance floors of our post-pandemic society.

Thank you to all the artists involved.

MINT06 | Otodojo, Jason ddb, Boulderhead, IN2STELLAR - Parsing a Path (04/03/2023 Digi web piece)

Boulderhead and okayokayokay join forces to deliver a six-track EP on Mint Tea: Small Point Places.

Over many weeks and months the two bounced audio and project files across the ether, both finishing each others unfinished tunes to create the EP.

Boulderhead, a Bristol-based producer renowned for his intricately crafted, up-tempo productions, and okayokayokay, celebrated for his fusion of breakbeats, house, and trance. Both combine their talents to take listeners on a journey through shimmering synths, rolling basslines, and intricate percussive patterns, all carefully combined into something that feels equally at home on the dancefloor as it does the post-party winddown. 

Tracklist: 
1. Nergin’ the fam 
2. Sunbeams 
3. Live 2 tiv
4. Autohealing
5. Half O’Clock
6. BAU

Mint Tea proudly presents Dansolos Jungle. A deliciously velvet blend of tracks sourced from the UK and Georgia nurtured and crafted by producers WD41, Toke and El Choop. 

As we head into Dansolso’s Jungle we first encounter a slurry of dub-techno, infused with WD41’s love for tape these giant sounds represent his debut on the label. Next, we encounter Toke, based in Tbilisi he has mastered the subtitles of the dance floor developing his own unique flavour of a classic style, for MT004 he supplies perfect twilight accompaniments. El Choop based in the UK has been honing his craft relentlessly since his introduction to the scene, Skeleton Crew reflecting this with its polished hard-hitting style sure to satisfy many a dance floor.

MINT TEA - MTWL001
https://mint-tea-records.co.uk

Limited run of 100.

Artist:  @Zobol
Title:   Creeper
Label:  Mint Tea
Release: 140g Handstamped Vinyl 12“  
Date: (06/02/2020)
Cat No: MTWL001
Dist: Self distributed
Mastered: Curvepusher

Mint Tea proudly presents a new white label series showcasing emerging artists. MTWL001 sees @Zobol with both two adaptations of his track Creeper. 
Creeper was made from a few vintage machines and a little FM synthesis, TR606 for drums, Roland JX3P, Volca FM, Korg MS20, the powerhouse of the Elektron Octatrack and lastly the Roland SH-101. The music was based around the concept of growth in nature and the inevitable links this has on our psychology and behaviour.

Mint Tea returns with an incoming transmission from the long lost terraforming project by Parisian producer MiG-29(@mig29music). The planet's configuration was corrupted half way through the terraforming process and has led to the breeding of a highly advanced hive-mind consciousness which has now launched a series of it’s node eggs into Earth orbit. We warn the public to not listen to the eggs which appear as small reflective USB.
