Mindz releases Recorded Delivery


Nottingham based recording artist Mindz stamps his name firmly on the map with 'Recorded Delivery' - a 20 track deep mixtape featuring a selection of hip hop / grime anthems.



Known for many underground features including the urban myth collaboration album entitled 'The Middle East Collection' (alongside Leicester based artist and producer A-Bomb of Yard 26 Recordings), and various features with Trans-Atlantic producer Endemic and local artist J.Gold, Mindz is fast becoming an established name in the East Midlands hip hop scene. Combining lyrical real life verses with hard hitting drums and both acoustic and electronic soundscapes, Mindz crafts pure narratives from the heart of Britain's inner city streets.



Now with his sights firmly set on the world stage, Mindz has emerged from beneath the surface with his new solo début 'Recorded Delivery'. Championed by Nottingham's BBC 1Xtra playlisted artist / Charlie Sloth's Fire-In-The-Booth star Micky Grim as "the best unofficial album / mixtape out so far this year", 'Recorded Delivery' sees Mindz dispatch a barrage of savvy wordplay and powerfully sagacious lyricism. Featuring production from the likes of Beat Butcha (Mobb Deep, Mac Miller, Xzibit), Kimbo Hareez (D12, St Laz) and Wizard (Verb-T, Ramson Badbonez, Taskforce), the mixtape flits effortlessly between hip hop and grime, with hints of dubstep, dance and soul thrown in for good measure. From the sample driven dusty rhythms of 'Up In Flames', to the arpeggiated trance-esque melodies of 'So High', underground purists will find as much enjoyment in 'Recorded Delivery' as the more casual listener, making 'Recorded Delivery' one of the hottest, and most musically interesting debuts you will have heard in a very long time.

Sharp Knees - Free download of new single Dont Leave Me


Sharp Knees consist of Sam Bennett (Vocals / Guitar), Jacob Alder (Guitar/Vocals), Shane Egglestone (Bass/Vocals), Jacques Moran (Keyboard/Saxophone/Vocals) & Peter Dean (Drums/Vocals). The band spent most of 2009 working on their 10 track self-released, self-produced, album, 'Certain Rules'. The album became an instant classic within their hometown, as they began supporting the likes of Everything Everything, Hip Parade, The Kabeedies and many more across the East Midlands.

The act went on to compete in the national competition, 'Kit Kat's Battle Of The Bands', which resulted in the
quintet performing at the Grand Final in London; an event that was hosted by, reputable musician, Frankmusik. The band were awarded the opportunity of playing at the 2010 V-Festival and Reading Festival.

In late 2010, they returned to the studio to produce their new track, 'Don't Leave Me’, which was produced by Sharp Knees', Sam Bennett, in the singer's home in Leeds, UK.


 Sam stated, "Although it has only been a year or so, I feel we've progressed massively in that period of time. The band has developed both on and off the stage, and a more mature side to our music has emerged. Our album didn't have this same edge, so we hope that the new EP will demonstrate what Sharp Knees is now all about".

The band are now preparing for a studio visit in August to work on their forthcoming EP.

 'Don't Leave Me' is available for FREE at: http://sharpknees.bandcamp.com/album/dont-leave-me
