M-zine returns to Sofa Sound Bristol with a very special project - his debut album, 'Know When You're Ready'.

It's a milestone moment for an artist whose output has matured, marinated and developed for over a decade to a natural pinaccle.

M-zine represents everything we love at Sofa Sound and the album is layered with warm textures and organic tones to form a rich body of work with great depth that rewards both your patience and your sound system.

With influences rooted in dub, techno, funk and soul, M-zine embraces the lost art of simplicity and is focused on getting the most out of just 4 or 5 core elements so everything works together nicely in the mix.

Written mostly during covid; clubs were closed, but M-zine had his rig at home and used the isolation to craft his own little soundscape; something pure and introspective, nice and simple.

Its subtle, meditative and Sofa Sound through and through - a warm collection of tracks for you to appreciate.

Nostalgia is a thing that influences our cultural creation and consumption today, but nostalgia is also how Drum & Bass finds a way to reinvigorate itself, and M-zine expresses this feeling immaculately. M-zine’s work is meticulous and transportive. He is an artist plucked from the deepest depths of Drum & bass music, and taking influences from genres like Techno, Hip-Hop, Soul & Funk, M-zine has carved his own niche in the Drum & Bass scene.
M-zine started his journey as a Drum & Bass producer in 2011 with Proximity Recordings with two funky releases in Peristaltic and Riddance. His first Vinyl release came in 2012 with Swiss-based label Demand Records. Endings, a hypnotic low-end roller was heavily supported by some of the heavyweights in Drum & Bass like Doc Scott, Skeptical, Spinline, and Loxy.
M-zine’s watershed moment as producer came in 2013; when he saw his music being released on labels like Dispatch Recordings, 31 Recordings, and Warm Communications, with a special mention by Tom Yorke’s “Pissing In The Wind On A Monday” for his release on 31 Recordings.
With big releases on labels like Dispatch Recordings, Commercial Suicide, Critical Recordings, 31 Records, a thumping release with Belgian trio Bredren that topped the Beatport charts, one LP plus several EPs and singles on Sofa Sound Bristol, and an EP coming out on Subtitles Recordings, M-zine has comfortably registered his name as one of the finest producers in Drum & Bass.


La nostalgie influence nos créations culturelles et notre consommation actuelle, mais elle est aussi un moyen pour la Drum & Bass de se revitaliser, et M-zine exprime ce sentiment à merveille. M-zine travaille de façon méticuleuse et expressive. C'est un artiste qui vient des profondeurs de la Drum & Bass, et en puise ses influences dans divers genres tels que la Techno, le Hip-Hop, la Soul et le Funk, il s'est taillé une niche bien à lui dans la scène Drum & Bass.
M-zine a commencé son parcours de producteur de Drum & Bass en 2011 sur Proximity Recordings avec deux sorties funky ; Peristaltic et Riddance. Sa première sortie vinyle a eu lieu en 2012 sur le label Demand Records, basé en Suisse. Endings, un roller hypnotique, a été fortement soutenu par certains poids lourds de la Drum & Bass comme Doc Scott, Skeptical, Spinline, et Loxy.
Le moment décisif pour M-zine en tant que producteur s'est produit en 2013 ; quand il a vu sortir ces morceaux sur des labels de renom tels que Dispatch Recordings, 31 Recordings, et Warm Communications, avec une mention dans Tom Yorke's "Pissing In The Wind On A Monday" pour sa sortie sur 31 Recordings.
Avec de grosses sorties chez Dispatch Recordings, Commercial Suicide, Critical Recordings, 31 Records, une sortie fracassante avec le trio belge Bredren qui atteint le sommet des charts Beatport, un LP ainsi que plusieurs EPs et singles chez Sofa Sound Bristol, et un EP à venir chez Subtitles Recordings, M-zine a confortablement inscrit son nom comme l'un des plus fins producteurs en matière de Drum & Bass.







Nostalgie heeft vandaag een grote invloed op onze culturele creatie en consumptie, maar nostalgie is ook hoe Drum & Bass een manier vindt om zichzelf te vernieuwen, en M-zine drukt dit gevoel perfect uit. Het werk van M-zine is nauwgezet en transportief. Hij is een artiest die uit de diepste krochten van Drum & Bass is geplukt, en met invloeden uit genres als Techno, Hip-Hop, Soul & Funk heeft M-zine zijn eigen niche in de Drum & Bass-scene ontwikkeld.
M-zine begon zijn reis als Drum & Bass-producer in 2011 bij Proximity Recordings met twee funky releases : Peristaltic en Riddance. Zijn eerste Vinyl release kwam in 2012 met het Zwitserse label Demand Records. Endings, een hypnotiserende low-end roller werd zwaar ondersteund door zwaargewichten in Drum & Bass zoals Doc Scott, Skeptical, Spinline en Loxy.
M-zine's keerpunt als producer kwam toen hij in 2013 zijn muziek begon uit te brengen op labels als Dispatch Recordings, 31 Recordings en Warm Communications, met een vermelding in Tom Yorke's "Pissing In The Wind On A Monday" voor zijn release op 31 Recordings.
Met grote releases op labels als Dispatch Recordings, Commercial Suicide, Critical Recordings, 31 Records, een dreunende release met het Belgische trio Bredren die de top van de Beatport charts haalde, een LP en meerdere EP's en singles op Sofa Sound Bristol, en een EP die uitkomt op Subtitles Recordings, heeft M-zine met gemak zijn naam geregistreerd als een van de fijnste producers in Drum & Bass.

Causing mischief in every form possible, Grimmlin searches high and low for sounds forgotten and unheard. Weaving his way through crunchy snares, soul-sucking subs, and all the dark mutations present in dnb, it makes for a deep and intense journey that is as alien as it is familiar.
