LISTEN UP :: Mmm Mmm Mmmm. LOVE Me Some Minnesota.


 ............................................................................................................................
MINNESOTA throws down some of the nassstiest, mind-blowing, body-moving, Dubstep/Glitch-hop/Future Bass, that, upon first listen, evoked from deep within me, feelings only comparable to those I have experienced when falling in love at first sight.
............................................................................................................................

Minnesota's music didn't grow on me...it had me at hello. And the more I listened, the harder I fell. And now, after more than two months of bumping his tracks, they still tease me, and please me, make me scream out, "Yessssss!" and  always leave me craving for more.

"Setting the record straight. No, I do not live in Minnesota. I live in Santa Cruz, CA. BUT, I grew up in Minnesota. And when I moved to Cali, everyone called me Minnesota. When I started DJ-ing, my friends called me DJ Minnesota. And I was never able come up with a cool DJ name, so it stuck. BAM!" (Facebook)

Minnesota's tracks can be heard in sets played by electronic music makers, such as: Bassnectar, Reid Speed, Blackheart and Rastatronics. In addition to making music, Minnesota is a cofounder of the production company, Vital Sc, and is also associated with the MalLabel, Tycho Records, and Gruntworthy music labels.
"I'm currently a History major at UCSC...I have almost no time to work on music, so most of my music comes when I have breaks from school." (Soundcloud)

Minnesota, who started producing electronic music more than 2 years ago, is now considered a major player in the Bay Area bass scene. His name has appeared on bills with big name DJs, such as: Nero, Flying Lotus, Rusko, Benassi, Ghostland Observatory, RJD2, Datsik, Excision and Skrillex.
"These are my jams! My goal is to make bass heavy dubstep/glitch-hop music that'll get you dancing, but is not the same old, 3 note transformer-step....I try to focus more on the melodic side of Dubstep, and hopefully, make quality song writing a more relevant factor in the genre." (Soundcloud)
