. . . . . ............................................................ ................................"Just what our scene needs. Pure class" - Rennie Pilgrim, DJ UK . . . . . ............................................................ ................................“Minuit will do what The Crystal Method and Nubreed did for their countries….Put New Zealand firmly on the dance scenes map.” Jay Cunning , Kiss FM . . . . . ............................................................ ................................Minuit (minwee), the Kiwi band with the French name is jiggalin' hips in Babylon..and beyond. Hauling their indie-breakbeat action around the planet, rattling ribcages and teasing a fuzzy frenzy out of audiences, they've played alongside Adam Freeland, Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs, Ali B, and The Chemical Brothers :: and crunched some hi-end PAs in Barcelona, Berlin, Finland, Russia, Czech Republic, Ireland, London, Los Angeles..why do i make these lists?? Its probably better just to keep an eye on the gig guide above for dates....... . . . . . ............................................................ ................................"I'll bet this is sh*t hot live!!!" - Drummatic Twins . . . . . ............................................................ ................................ Fronted by our best buddy, Ruth Carr, she entrances while bandmates Ryan Beehre and Paul Dodge deliver their breakbeat arsenal via shuddering basslines that make you feel you are made of steel..without losing sight of fantastic songs ...

It's also no small feat they were included on the 'Future Sound of..' compilation, alongside worldwide electronic heavy-hitters Bjork and DJ Krush representing New Zealand as the future sound of breaks and beats.

"Minuit have something many electronic acts avoid - a sense of personality" - NZ Herald . . . . . ............................................................ ................................Minuit have been getting radio play all over Europe, including XFM, 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Annie Nightingale, MotorFM in Berlin and Radio 1, Prague. But once again dont listen to me..see for yourself cos like any live act you need to hear it AND see it before you truly GET it! Call it what you like - you'll be humming to Minuit before too long - - if not moshing up the front.I never stole anything i kept, except you. . . . . . ............................................................ ................................"Arguably one of the most exciting acts ever to float north of the long white cloud." InLondon Magazine, UK . . . . . ............................................................ ................................"I expected something close to Kosheen, but luckily this one here is way better." LoDown Magazine, Germany . . . . . ............................................................ ................................"Why I find Minuit so appealing is that they have recognizable songs, and not just repetitive droning background noise laced with endlessly looping vocals. Hearing the openings of the two biggest crowd pleasers, 'Fuji' and 'Except You', was akin to hearing the opening bars of a song like 'Seven Nation Army'."

"The three piece fronted by the enigmatic Ruth Carr offer something unique in the world of electronic dance music – while the black cabs pump out the deep bass and twittering tops, MINUIT also bring real personality and a sometimes fragile sense of song to the affair. Music that's intentionally modern has never made the future sound so alluring as this group." - BIG DAY OUT '07MINUIT IN DUNEDIN - - www.ROKPX.com
