During the late 90s and the first decade of 2000s, "dObiOo" was part of Ghent's drum and bass scene as one half of the DJ duo "dobe'n'daze." They played all across the country in venues such as Vooruit, Sous Sol, Café d'Anvers, Culture Club, Charlatan,  Decadance, Trix, and events like Steam, 10daysoff, Laundry Day, Star Warz, etc. They were deeply involved in organizing the Mystic parties, collaborating with Juice Blenders and Democrazy, and were part of the Fried Chicken Record Store DJ crew. Nowadays, "dObiOo" finds joy in creating music with electronic machines, evoking the nostalgic essence and vibe of the 90s era. From uplifting breakbeats to melancholic downtempo/ambient stuff, following wherever the creative journey leads him."

Innovative lyrics, heart pounding instrumentals, precise cuts, and intense live shows are what MindsOne has been offering their listeners since 2002. The four man group is comprised of KON Sci and Tronic on vocals, and DJs Noumenon and Slim Deluxe on turntable duties. Their music embodies the spirit of the culture and pays homage to those that have come before. They have consistently delivered powerful and inspirational music over the years, and have continued to perfect their sound with each project they release.

In 2006, the group released their first official EP entitled "The Time Space Continuum" which was hailed as a breath of fresh air by the Southeastern Hip Hop community. In 2008, their first studio LP "Transitions" was released to rave reviews from fans and critics worldwide. The album not only recaptured the essence of classic Hip Hop artistry, but also established MindsOne's own identity in the scene through uniquely progressive production, cutting-edge lyricism, and a message to the masses that Hip Hop was alive and well.

2010 brought the release of their second full-length studio album "Self Reliance," which featured guest appearances by legendary producers and emcees such as Kev Brown, J. Rawls, Oddisee, Illmind, John Robinson, Dunc, and Seez Mics of Educated Consumers. The album exploded onto the Hip Hop scene and received numerous four and five star ratings from several notable outlets including UndergroundHipHop.com, KevinNottingham.com, and HipHopDX.com. The album solidified their position in the independent community as a force to be reckoned with. Additionally, the legendary DJ Premier blessed the album with an honorable mention in his 2010 Top Albums of the Year list.

MindsOne reunited with legendary producer Kev Brown (Low Budget, Touch of Jazz) in 2014 to offer Hip Hop connoisseurs another round of boom bap driven instrumentals and uplifting lyrics in the EP "Pillars." Concise and thoughtful, "Pillars" explored notions of loyalty and mortality, lamented the stagnation of modern day musical creativity, and celebrated the limitless possibilities of the culture. The combination of Kev Brown's production virtuosity and MindsOne's command of the spoken word aims to achieve just that.  "This is not a project to sleep on. For an EP, Pillars has enough content to honestly be worth an LP." - Michael Stover of KevinNottingham.com

Most recently, in 2016 MindsOne connected with Belgian whiz kid DJ Iron to reinforce the presence of boom bap in Hip Hop to examine the biggest question in life. Why are we here?  Where do we go in the end? Is that an SP1200? Damn right. Is life too complex to condense into 40 minutes? Challenge accepted.  Journey along as Tronic and KON Sci explore the phases of life and create scenes, both real and imagined, to give listeners a bird’s-eye view. Relive childish fantasies and revisit irrational fears. Go to work and act like an adult. Ponder your existence and reflect on your life. Spoiler: It’s all gonna end. But not today.  "We’re born alone, we die alone, etc. Talk to God if it’s too complex."
  
MindsOne has performed with M.O.P, Boot Camp Click, Pharoahe Monch, Inspektah Deck, Cappadona, Mobb Deep, Canibus, Homeboy Sandman, Planet Asia, Little Brother, Akrobatik, Dilated Peoples, Non-Phixion, RA the Rugged Man, Afu Ra, Scratch of The Roots, Q-Unique, Louis Logic, J-zone, Educated Consumers, and Dezmatic, just to name a few.

Think Tropical, think Urban, think Beats & certainly think Bass. Grown from their interest in Jamaican Soundsystem en vinyl culture, they expand their interest to a spectrum of digital dance. Absorbing any style of music from every suburb of the world, they started off combining this with freshly cut Island influences (Gunshot + vocal). Ready for this musical murderation!
