DIAMONDMINE

D-Mine
There’s more than mere hip-hop afoot here. Redefining the genre with seamless infusions from other musical realms, D-Mine’s El and Darrow are changing the way the beats, music and words reach your ears. “Our music is hip-hop fusions mixed with traditional beats, live bands, jazz and rock,’ says D-Mine, “a.k.a. ‘leech music,’ the music that sticks to you!”Jig Saw Puzzle D-Mine thinks of its songs as the pieces of a jig-saw puzzles, that, when put together, equal a marvelous aural picture. “Each song is like a jig-saw puzzle,” says D-Mine. “If you look at one, you don’t get the full picture. But when you put them all together you understand what’s going on as a whole.” It makes for more album-oriented songwriting. Rather than piling together a batch of unrelated singles, El and Darrow bring together songs that function as a unit, working together under an umbrella of cohesive ideas that offer a tightly constructed listening experience.True to Who?The industry demands one thing. Critics another. And every fan has his own ideas about what the music should sound like. But by sticking to their guns, El and Darrow write music that is a boon to the music scene, pleasing to critics and satisfying to fans. ‘Music should be about being true to yourself, not to what the current trend is,” asserts D-Mine. “Making music that comes straight from you is a lot more trend-setting and influential than copying somebody else.” And D-Mine is absolutely fan conscious. By refusing to aligning with the trendy conceits demanded by some – both fans and those in the industry – D-Mine makes music that truly awards the listeners with great music that is far more fulfilling and hard-hitting than cookie-cutter conformity. And this makes for enthusiastic audience reaction. “What inspires us is the fans’ response to our music,” says D-Mine. “Because our style isn’t mainstream, it motivates us to see people support music such as ours.”The Artist at WorkEl and Darrow are at work on a new EP (Nothin 2 Lose) that will be a perfect demonstration of the group’s challenging yet catchy sound. “We’re writing every minute of every hour,” D-Mine says. “We are still continuing to change and experiment with new sounds, so be sure to watch for our next tracks.” The duo is currently working with A&R Select, the hottest indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.“D-Mine’s music is informed by a striking vitality often lacking in the dull pulsation of mindless grooves that clutter mainstream mediocrity.” – A&R SelectStreet Team
