The submission phase of the untitled SHM060 hard core compilation album is now closed.  Twenty two tracks were approved for the album, but sadly there is not enough room for all of them.  After the best tracks are selected from the approved batch of tracks for each of the fourteen artist that are involved, we should have an official track list.  We are waiting on one premaster, and if this is not received by Wednesday of this week, the track list will exclude it and be done.  Right now I have received premasters from [my self], K.H.D. (of course), Imil, Predaking, Johan Jello, Aardwolf, O.P.B., Phydomir, Mosphire, Tilduh, Scorpyd (A.K.A. Inflicted Rage, Pyroblast), 1nsane, and Crippled.  Hopefully mastering and cover art will be finished this week, and we can get this thing rolled out!

Untitled SHM060 Hardcore/Gabber Compilation Album

This month we’re doing a hardcore/gabber compilation album here at Shyfted Minds. A few tracks have already been chosen, but there is still plenty of space for more! Any one interested in submitting a track or two should contact me, Shyft, by email at Feind.Shyft@gmail.com or on Facebook here via private message.  We usually listen to melodic nu-style gabber, but dark core, industrial hard core, happy gabber, and Rotterdam are all acceptable, too (please no ‘extreme’ cores such as speed core, terror, or break core), as long as it is completely original work (hip hop vocals and spoken word samples are okay).

Show us what you got.  Tell your friends.  This shall be the first Shyfted Minds compilation!

Presenting K.H.D.’s first full length album: Life Influences.

What started as a five track EP just kept on getting longer, and for a good cause! This album is host to twelve monstrosities of melody and drum. You want it, and it wants you. Click image or see the discography section on the right column for free HQ down load.

Also, here’s a little some thing on the side (well, it was a ton of work, but you know). It’s been getting some flak from the die hard fans with no respect to experimentation and electronic music elements, but such is to be expected. Tradition won’t last for ever!

DJ Istapp’s first solo release: SHM058

Nicey nice. We’ve been busy here at Shyfted Minds this week, and there’s a chance of two more releases going in to their final stages this week’s end! If you’ve been searching for some thing new and different in hard core electronic music, hard dance, or what ever you want to call it, search no farther (at least, you know, for now). DJ Istapp’s Twisted Origin EP is truly musical and melodic, but is by no means mainstream. You won’t expect to hear any DMX voice samples or cheesy pop lyrics. This is expression out of line, a style quite unforgettable! Click the image above or enter the discography section along the right to make it yours!*

Shyft Versus DJ Istapp – Hard Drive, Over Driven EP

This is a release that has been on the back burner for quite some time, due to the promise of being picked up by an other label. After being neglected by that label for almost a year, it came time to get it out there on Shyfted Minds. The Shyft version was previously released on SHM048 – In Check, but has been remastered for this release. A handful of good remixes, including one by Imil, K.H.D., and T2Kazuya! Grab it now.

Also, you should check back here again in the near future.  There is a solo release by DJ Istapp, K.H.D., and our newest member, DJ Gilga.  DJ Gilga participated on New Collective Audition, doing an awesome trance remix of The Sorcerer.  His debut on Shyfted Minds will be a full trance LP.  Check back soon for these!

Red Ankh’s Blue album has been remastered and released to the greater public. Red Ankh’s Blue Two is complete. This is the future of chip tune and metal. The discography section has been updated accordingly.  Each album holds eighty minutes in thirteen tracks.  That is twenty six songs spanning two hours and forty minutes.  There are cute as hell NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Atari sound chip based synths.  There are a range of unconventional vocals.  There are Progressive journeys.  Uplifting anthems.  Loud guitars.  Stomping beats.  Exactly four gabber kick drums.  It’s a magical journey through all of your favorite video games that never existed, in your choice of high quality audio format.  Yes.  Magic helmet- AND I WILL GIVE YOU A SAMPLE!
