MY WORLD TONIGHT(2)

The immensely talented Finnish producer Mineral returns to Codename: RCRDS fresh from his recent release on Metalheadz with the stunning LP 'Expand The Orbit', and as long time fans of Mineral's unique sound we are delighted to be able to feature him on the label in full length form.

'Hyperspeed' opens the EP on a high with its bouncy dancefloor sound and earworm synth lead perfectly setting the tone, before 'Lost' brings us into the classic Mineral stylings of lush pianos and immaculate rolling breaks. 'Galactic Assault' does exactly what it says on the tin, with storming futuristic synths preparing for attack. 'Adrenalin Levels' shifts things into a darker Techstep direction before the subtle beauty of 'Invisible' reveals itself.

As we move into the 2nd half of the LP 'Stars' draws once again into the artist's signature territory with intricate interwoven melodies and tight drumwork, before the retro-styled rave up 'Stab Request' moves up back towards the dancefloor once again, and the tear-out vibes of 'Partial' hit heavier still.

The LP starts to take a deeper rolling edge with 'Negotiation 17' before heavy duty rollout 'To Expand The Orbit' takes us to the edge of space with it's crunchy breaks and sparse bleep-era vibes, bring us towards the darker edge of the journey before the stunning lush melodies of 'Universal' end the album on a euphoric high.

An stunning album from one of the nicest people we've ever had the privilege to meet in the scene - big up to Ilkka for such an amazing body of work, we are incredibly proud and humbled to be able to release this on the label.

Mineral - Galactic Assault

‣ Available here: quartz.bfan.link/interloper

Metalheadz and Quartz present Interloper, a body of work years in the making, and an unfiltered document of evolution, displacement and creative persistence. Originally sparked by an invitation from Goldie in 2018 to deliver multiple releases for the label, the album gradually took on its own identity, absorbing each stage of Quartz’s shifting environments and mindset.

There has always been something quietly disquieting about the music of Quartz, also known as Elliot Garvey. Not in a theatrical sense, but more like a fog that rolls in and never quite lifts. Interloper continues that tension: textured, brooding, and deeply precise. The record doesn’t announce itself; it unfolds slowly, rewarding close attention with meticulous detail and atmosphere.

Garvey’s path has always been unconventional. A Welsh producer uninterested in social media or self-promotion, he has carved out a singular presence within the underground. Respected by veterans and quietly championed by tastemakers, his work sits outside trend or scene. “I’ve always chased that looming tension,” he says. “Something that hits in a way you don’t quite expect.”

Unlike many concept-driven projects, Interloper emerged organically, over years of work alongside his other releases. “I realised I’d been holding onto this idea that albums needed a narrative,” Garvey explains. “Once I let that go, it became a diary, a reflection of refining my craft and finding the music I truly love.”

Sonically, the record resists easy classification. Distorted textures, intricate sound design, and subtle sampling weave through each track, balancing grit and clarity. Despite its variety, a single thread runs throughout: a tension that feels both ominous and euphoric. That restless curiosity defines the album, from the stark propulsion of Ganzfeld to the layered atmospherics of Skeng.

Growing up in Cardiff, far from London’s pirate radio hubs, Garvey developed in isolation, guided by instinct. Record shops were classrooms, and intuition was the only teacher. “I had to work out what hit me,” he recalls. “No tutorials, no shortcuts, just listening and learning.” That independence shaped a sound that is club-ready but unconstrained, detailed yet raw.

The title Interloper reflects Garvey’s position within the culture: present but never fully belonging. It is both an inside joke and a quiet statement, a nod to the artist who exists in the shadows, shaping the scene without demanding its spotlight.

In a world driven by visibility, Garvey’s silence is deliberate. He allows the music to speak for itself, building a reputation on substance over persona. “If I was going to make an impact, it had to be through the strength of the music,” he says.

Interloper stands as both culmination and continuation, intense without theatrics, brooding without ego, and deeply personal while remaining universal. It is a record that lingers, its impact growing long after the final note fades.

“Really, it’s just about doing the work,” Garvey says. “You show up, make something honest, and let it run.” In a landscape obsessed with immediacy, Interloper is quiet defiance, a record that doesn’t ask to be seen, only to be felt.
