Biography

A large part of Mynse's work thus far has been primarily with two other Launceston MC's and longtime friends Azrael and Ethics. With these two he is the beats behind Mynse 'n Azrael and Altrueism (myspace.com/altrueism). Using the groups name as a basis in early 2005 Mynse formed Altrueistic Recordings (altrueistic.com). With these two groups he has supported and played alongside artists including Bliss 'n Eso, Phrase, WeaponX and Ken Hell, Heads of State, Nino Brown, Bias B, and Tom Thum to name a few. Anyone who's shared a can with the Mynse and dared to mention Hip Hop is within seconds aware of Mynse's enthusiasm for the local scene and his drive to get it out there as much as possible. His colabs with other artists are many and range from 'pissed tracks', created on the spur of the moment after a few beers (these number many), to more professional releases, whether it be on a Mynse beat or if he's just chucking on some vocals. Common fixtures in these tracks include Axesent, Cejas, Oxcyde, Azrael, Mynse, Skurge1, Drastik X and Rumn. He has done production for artists including Axesent, Deedare, Drastik X, Cejas, and Skurge1. The energy Mynse has injected into the local Hip Hop scene through his groups and collaborations has certainly paid dividends for the young producer himself. His frequent recording and gigging have seen him finely hone his production, beatmaking (a daily practice for Mynse), DJing and MCing to a point where they are winning fans statewide. Finally at the end of 2006 we now see Mynse for the first time concentraiting on his upcoming solo releases. The Mynstrual Cycle's lyrical content will mainly feature Mynse's musing on the life lessons learned over the past few years, his battles to overcome negativity and the constant belief that if you want something bad enough, there's nothing to stop you achieveing it. It's also a voyage into Mynse's many and varied musical tastes and will feature 'slightly off-center/deep tunes to hyped beats'. Those familiar with his earlier work know that Mynse doesn't pull any punches, this release will be no exception. So, if you're a fan of what you've heard in the past, you can certainly expect to hear the same skills here, plus a side of the Mynse you may not have previously encountered! Prepare for the world according to Mynse.
