Effective period / Period of releases: 2001 - 2003

Members: Marc Veizhans, Daniel Savine

Native Minds are Daniel Savine & Marc Veizhans aka Rio. They linked up late in 1999 at a midweek jungle night, where Daniel was one of the residents. It didn't take long before they ended up in the studio together and they ain't looked back since!

One of the first finished tracks they did, was a rmx for a german artist "Simn V". It took a while before they finished another track due to having to get used each others way of working. The second track "Vibration" didn't come until August 2000 and was signed up on it's first club airing at the german D'n'B Party at the PopKorn (German Music Festival) by The Basswerk Label. The Rest of 2000 was slowly rolled ou due to touring and births of Marks first child and Daniel's Fourth.

The year 2001 was the year when they shifted into another gear, signing up tracks to Skunkrock, Reinforced as well as forming their own Offline imprint. One of the Highlights was having Fabio cut one of their tracks, playing it on RadioOne as well as all over the world! They have very much their own sound which takes its influences from fusing their love of breaks, early house and Detroit, Reggae, Jazz and just chucking it all together and seeing what comes out at the end!

Watch out for Offline 4 - 7 (these gonna be hot!). Artist like ALPHA OMEGA; DJ PHOBIA as well as a new latin american d'n b projekt will be on these.

(nuff respect going out to reinforced and skunkrock)
