MINCKA

📣 OUT NOW! This is it. This is MINCKA. It’s us, it’s you, it’s whatever it wants to be. The music evolved from Digitakt sketches to live drums, to drafts reinterpreted by ten musicians. We recorded trumpets, sax, bass, guitar, double bass, and more, and sent out early versions of the demos to befriended musicians in Seattle, Uden, Beijing, and other places around the world, collecting instrumentation from wherever it found us. And now we’re here. Offering stems of the music so producers, musicians, and vocalists can become part of MINCKA. This vinyl release is the only way to get the OG versions of the music. On digital platforms, we will swap, replace, and update versions based on new contributions and interpretations. Vinyl out now via @rucksack_records . 🖼️ Artwork and visual direction by @iris_vanderheijden 🎛️ Mastering by Bob Macc at Subvert Central Mastering 🥁 Drum recordings by @edis_van_der_pajazetovic at @bankastudios , Maastricht 🎤 Features by @mr.blabbermouf & @princess_bangura All music produced, flipped, reimagined, composed, and initiated by @mincka_ .
