Mined & Forrest are the newly formed pairing of German producers, Mined from Obba Select and Forrest Funk. They both share the same love for classic funk, modern bass design and Hip Hop sampling, so they decided to get together to make some beats and the results of their work has seen them have their debut EP ‘There It Is’ released on one of our very favourite labels, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings. Not a bad way for the duo to kick things off at all!
Mined & Forrest’s 4 track EP is made up of 3 tracks from themselves and a remix of the title track off the EP from, Jayl Funk. ‘There It Is’ by Mined & Forrest, is a midtempo Breaks influenced slice of liquid Funk that flows direct to your mind and instantly lifts your mood. The next 2 tracks, the horn driven ‘Funk Toxic’ and the glitched out ‘Drugs’, are both absolute beasts and should be approached with caution as dropping either of them in a set will get that dance floor hyped! Jayl Funk’s remix of ‘There It Is’ is a smooth as you like and his funky touch is something we always dig here on the ward.
If you want to hear just how good all of the tracks sound in a mix, check the mix posted from Mined & Forrest that they dropped on BBP’s ‘Power Hour’ radio show. As well as all the tracks off the EP, the guys have pulled out some of their personal favourites from the world of Funky Breaks for just over an hours worth of party fuelled action. Keep an eye on this duo as we predict big things if this introduction to what they’re all about is anything to go by.
