MISSION
Mind Ctrl, live drum&bass band, brings self-written and -produced tracks in a mixture of voices, electric guitar, synthesizers and of course bass guitar and drums. On stage, these professional musicians turn their electronic genre into a 100% live setting, without any use of drumcomputers or other sequenced loops. Influences of heavy guitar rock and colourful electro are all integrated into a 184 BPM high energy show.
The track list consists of full length songs combined with more tight drum&bass tracks. Even improvisation found its way into the show, mixing everything into one long unbroken set.
HISTORY
Kris De Witte and Nele Himschoot already started in ‘98 with lyrics written by her brother Bart and music composed by Kris... but young and inexperienced as they were, the plan was never been performed.A second attempt came a few years later when Kris invited some musicians of the conservatory Mitchel Wolput, Tijs Laurens, Toon Moermans, Steven Ribus and Jasmijn Bamps to work on a project named Driver. The new group started with own material. Lyrics and music were mainly written by Kris De Witte. Everything went according to their wishes till second lead singer Jasmijn moved house...In a third attempt, Mind Ctrl was formed with only Nele, Mitchel and Kris as steady group members. Temporary collaborations with Karen Janssens and Ilse Stroobant made the track list evolve into what it is today. Music and lyrics were more and more composed and written as a three member band. In 2008, Nele ended her contribution to the band as a performer and restricted herself to writing lyrics and co-writing songs. The addition of bass player Peter Cools, singers Annelies De Meulenaere and Johan-Kalifa Bals and drummer Frederik Tilkin turned Mind Ctrl into a 100% live drum&bass band.
