Faster than light New Zealand uber producers State of Mind are back and swinging through Sydney this coming July. Last year Stu SOM sent the dancefloor into a frenzy, so this year we thought we should bring Pat SOM over to show us what tricks he has up his sleeves. This is the first time that Pat SOM has played in Sydney, so be sure to come down and show him why Stu SOM loves coming back to Sydney. Initially signed to Total Science’s CIA label in 2005, the State of Mind discography has rapidly expanded to include labels such as, Teebee’s Subtitles Records, Friction’s Shogun with the massive Back to the Jungle EP, Futurebounds Viper label, Doc Scotts 31 Records, Bad Company, Obsessions & BSE Recordings. In 2007 the lads decided to launch their own record label, SOM MUSIC. Representative of their own unique sound, the label has grown into a force within DnB. Recording artists include Black Sun Empire, Chris.Su, Axiom, Spinline, SOM, Sigma, Mindscape, Dose, NC17, Bulletproof. 2009 State Of Mind released their second album FASTER THAN LIGHT to both critical and popular acclaim.
