Mind Safari is a Portuguese producer from Aveiro, the city where the first raves in the country were held. After putting out several compelling records in labels such as One Eyed Jacks or Extended Records, Mind Safari now releases his first full-length effort ‘Trance Dance’ on 1980.
Possessing a hybrid language where electronic genres are broken down and rebuilt, in ’Trance Dance’ the producer explores rugged rhythmic textures, layering elegant synths over looping percussive structures to creating an unique sonic universe, simultaneously physical and cerebral, where everything appears to be interconnected.
The eight raw and unpredictable tracks that make up ‘Trance Dance’ are further complemented by a remix of The Big Bird With Flames produced by Violet, London-based Lisbon producer and captain of the One Eyed Jacks record label.
