RHYTHM IN MIND - FLOW
FLOW was released digitally December 21st 2009 on Octofoil Records!
DOWNLOAD IT NOW !!
Download this dark primal experimental electronic project from iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc.. This release has amazing crunched world/primal electronic analog progressions. We are really excited about this release as it's one of the freshest sounds in world percussive primal music. Think crunched darbukas and analog Moogs meet rolling drum solos...
Based in the Los Angeles area, Rhythm In Mind is a dark electronic artist and percussionist who mixes programmed experimental progressions with live primal rhythms. Rhythm in Mind, is the brainchild of renowned sound engineer, percussionist, and music tech Eric Beam, who is also the primary mastering engineer for Octofoil Records.
Fellow Octofoil artist Maduro has described Eric's work as "both the most technical and sonically diverse sound in ethnoindustrial music."

DARKENED - FLIPSIDE (Now Available!)
DARKENED's full-length debut album Flipside is now available on CD, iTunes, Amazon MP3, eMusic, and other major digital download sites.
The full length Maduro album of 2009 was not a Maduro album, instead he released a creepy 13-track dubstep album as "Darkened." Darkened's debut release, Flipside (OCT09), is an excursion into the dark realm of dubstep, tribal beats, and 1920s Berlin. It blends glitchy junkyard, african/voodoo, german brass cabaret, and found sounds. Flipside was nominated as one of the Top 2009 Releases by Igloo magazine.com and Digital Nimbus Radio WKUCI FM Irvine California. Look for Darkened tracks on upcoming bellydance DVD productions.
