J-Felix – The Mint Experiment - Volume One & Two

J-Felix present Volume 1 & 2 of THE MiNT EXPERiMENT on a limited edition 12" vinyl LP.

Hip-hop is the genre that initially captivated J-Felix, drawing him into the world of music and inspiring his love for the sounds of soul, jazz, and funk samples that are often used in the genre. Throughout THE MiNT EXPERiMENT, you can hear these influences come to life through J-Felix's signature funk-infused electronic production style. He utilizes a combination of analogue synthesis, live instrumentation, and experimentation to tape cassette to create a particular flavour for this project. Guest artists including Byron The Aquarius, MELONYX, Juga Naut, Victoria Port, and BODUR contribute to the album, reflecting J-Felix's passion for collaboration and exploration in the broader world of hip-hop, electronic, funk, soul & jazz-related music. Steering away from using samples, J-Felix collaborates with a diverse group of musicians and producers to create a truly original modern sound that pays homage to the soul music that came before it.

Originally from Bristol but now based in Brighton (UK), J-Felix is a producer, musician, and DJ who has released two critically acclaimed LPs on Tru Thoughts Records. He has also played live guitars for Alice Russell and Swindle. J-Felix's productions have garnered remixes from the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band, Amp Fiddler, Wrongtom and The Ragga Twins, Werkha, and others, along with productions for Harleighblu, MELONYX, and Mad Yella. He has contributed guitar and bass playing to records by numerous artists, including Kojey Radical and Roisin Murphy. THE MiNT EXPERiMENT got it's title from the word 'Mint' used in Bristol for something thats great, "proper mint". The Experiment is with people, musicians, new techniques and equipment.

This represents a new chapter for J-Felix in setting up his own imprint OVN Records and releasing music independently.
