On New “DREAM SOUP” Album, Mindchatter Muses on the Inevitability of “Cosmic Slush”
From the very first notes of his sophomore album, DREAM SOUP, Mindchatter evokes an uneasy thematic contrast between the ego and the corporeal, identity and perception. “I forgot who I was. I wish that that would last, but now I’m back,” he croons over luscious bass beats on DREAM SOUP‘s opening track, “Human Shape.” A sample of a person’s heavy breathing lays beneath these lyrics, seemingly bracing themselves for what’s to come: “My skin is really clay. I mold myself to human shape for practicality,” Mindchatter moodily muses. It’s been just three years since Mindchatter released his debut single, “Trippy.” Now, with DREAM SOUP, out via Mind of a Genius, we see him all grown up, gently probing th...

Mindchatter Announces First-Ever Headlining Shows
It’s not every day that an emerging talent gets an upgrade into the big leagues. But the day in the spotlight for fast-rising electronic music producer and singer-songwriter Mindchatter has arrived after he announced his first-ever run of headlining shows. With three dates scheduled for the fall, Mindchatter’s mini-tour will touch down at famed venues like Los Angeles’ Masonic Lodge and Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right. Kicking it all off will be an appearance at Insomniac’s newest dance music festival, Lost In Dreams, in Las Vegas.

Listen to Tchami’s Dazzling, 19-Track “Year Zero” Remix Album
Tchami has unveiled 19—yes, 19—brilliant reworks of music from his debut album, Year Zero. There’s no doubt that longtime fans of the French future house pioneer will rock out to the expansive album, which explores house music and its many sub-genres with fluid precision. Standouts from the album are aplenty. Tchami was smart to tap blossoming Mind of a Genius artist Mindchatter, whose edit of “Heartless” (with Chace) kicks off the record with a hypnotic punch. Galantis and Bali Bandits join forces for a saccharine, disco-inspired rendition of “Buenos Aires,” a track that ANGELZ takes into rave territory with a four-to-the-floor, 150 BPM hyper-house rework. Dirtybird cofounder Justin Martin offers up a foot-tapping deep house edit of &...
Mindchatter Calls on Rome in Silver for Scintillating “Night Goggles” Remix
Mindchatter made waves when he closed out 2020 with the release of his debut album, Imaginary Audience. To kick off 2021, he’s now enlisted the help of fellow rising star Rome In Silver to deliver a stunning new remix of one of the album’s standout cuts, “Night Goggles.” The dreamy, hypnotic soundscapes Mindchatter produced in the original are left intact in Rome in Silver’s rendition. The Orange County-based young gun was able to build on those soothing melodies while simultaneously making them more upbeat for the dance-floor. His delicate use of synths and electric guitar round the rework out beautifully to compliment Mindchatter’s vocal performance rather than overshadow it. “The contrast of sounds and ideas in Mindch...

Mindchatter Pays Homage to LCD Soundsystem with Dreamy “I Can Change” Cover
Grammy-winning electro-rock outfit LCD Soundsystem have been a monumental influence for many producers and musicians since the mid 2000s, when “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” dominated electronic charts around the world.
