MINADI001 / Vincent Casanova - We Live on Ships EP 

The Swiss purveyors of all things deep, Mina, return with their first digital only release. An E.P. that treads a more minimal, stripped path whilst attaining the labels high sonic standards.

Today's release comes from Swedish producer Vincent Casanova. His first true nightclub experiences were at New York's legendary 'Twilo'. 1999-2001 saw Vincent drawn to the nightspot, studying the opening DJ's each night as they took the art of the warm-up to a whole new level. 'I liked the softer, techy, yet hypnotic sound-scapes that the DJ's were pioneering.'

Vincent has built upon these experiences, and looked to infuse the subtle and intelligent sounds into his own music. With a full artist album already under his belt on Archipel, he is set to step up with this brand new EP on Mina.

Three original productions 'We Live On Ships', 'Timeloop' and 'A Lost Warmth' are backed by a superb remix from Dessous, VIVa, Pokerflat and NRK artist David Durango. Taking on 'Timeloop' David turns the stripped down, melodica of the original into a sweet modern tribal rework.

A great start to Mina's digital imprint, and an introduction to an artist with a bright future

Release date: January 2010

Joel Mull - "Nice atmospheric and bleepy soultech. Lovely stuff. My favourite is the David Durango remix. Warm and full in the mix. 100% Will make the ladies flock the floor...  The Timeloop original is lovely but the lead is putting me of with being out of sync at times. Would play the track if the lead was in sync."

Desyn Masiello (SOS) - "Liking the vibe on all the tracks but David Durango’s mix is the main one here for most dancefloor action for me, as it has a more chunky and infectious groove... anything with a deep vibe these days needs a fat groove to make it into my sets. Durangos is in the right direction."
