New record from J. Brink

Swedish-born, Melbourne-based electronic music producer J. Brink has been an enduring presence in the electronic music scene, dating back to the 90s, long before digital audio workstations became the industry standard. With over two decades of experience, Brink’s journey as an artist has taken him through multiple phases, from running club nights in Sweden during the 2000s to managing his independent record label Zerogon Recordings in the 2010s.

Having first developed his sound in the early days of electronic music production, J. Brink’s sonic output has evolved into a blend of atmospheric, emotionally charged electronica that draws inspiration from artists like Jon Hopkins, Röyksopp and Clark. His music offers an immersive experience, taking listeners on a journey through lush soundscapes, melodic intricacies and deep emotional pull.

His production style is distinguished by its ethereal quality, a trait that’s struck a chord with fans around the world. In 2019, he dropped his single “Thunder Cave” and now returns with his latest project, the brand new full-length record titled Mindscape.

The new twelve-track album is a transportive trip through enchanting melodies, airy synths and eerie, emotive vocals that leave a lasting impression. Over a period of 10 weeks earlier this year, J. Brink became fully absorbed in the project, often producing multiple tracks in a matter of days. Interestingly, despite having access to a full studio, the entire album was created on a laptop with just headphones, giving the album an intimate quality.

This stripped-back approach to production has resulted in a deeply personal sound that feels as though it’s been crafted in solitude, making the listener feel like they’ve been given access to the producer’s inner world. Mindscape is dripping in cinematic atmosphere, from the hazy aesthetic, punchy drums and alluring female vocals spinning catchy melodies on opening track “Tremors” to the spacey, enveloping sounds of bubbling synths and hypnotic rhythms of closer “Connected,” the record delivers a thrilling ride of cutting-edge electronic music wrapped up in spectacular sound design.

Packed full of musical diversity, brimming with memorable melodic moments and stacked with energetic beats, Mindscape presents an astonishing listening experience that sees J. Brink deliver a riveting magnum opus. As he continue to share more of his compelling sonic world, this artist and producer remains at the top of his game as a visionary electronic music maker.
