Just a heads to all....My man, D-Mitch is dropping his next full length with his long time partner in crime, Spoonfull. These creepy motherfuckers decided to drop the album on Halloween. I've been fortunate enough to have heard the album and I am just as stoked as they are for it's release.

Below is a link to one of the tracks they made available for download. Tell all your friends. Its spooky-licious.

Both Memph and I are happy to announce that our special interview for the NBT (nextbigthing) podcast is now up for download and streaming!  Nearly 30 mins. of us talking your ear off.

The interview taps into the psyche and personal lives of the MM crew and gives a brief history on how we joined forces back in the late 90s.  Also featured are some new tracks off our upcoming projects including the Allied Forces EP and Frog Hill Legends EP.   Martin also plays some tracks by D-Mitch and Spoonful along with Praverb.

Definitely worth a listen if you want to hear some new stuff coming from the Mind Mechanics crew!  A big thank you to Martin for hosting the show and giving us the opportunity to get deeper on some topics we haven't covered in some time.
