The American-Filipino producer has made seismic waves since his collaboration with Detroit rapper Danny Brown in 2014 with their track “Sweeny Song” and as part of the influential Klipmode collective with Knxwledge. He’s a revered artist at the centre of a huge network of West Coast creatives exploring the boundaries between hip-hop, jazz, electronica and a wealth of other genres.

His 2021 album ‘Rare Pleasure’ was released to huge critical acclaim, representing an appreciation of sharing life, inward reflection, and the gift of joyful catharsis. Threaded throughout the album is a ‘Rare Pleasure’ theme inspired by soundtrack music, specifically 70s/80s library and theme music, whose repetitions and variations, MNDSGN says, “echo the recurring motifs we experience in life, sometimes being revisited by the same lessons in different shapes and forms.”
