Acclaimed beat-maker MNDSGN translates the emotions of everyday life into a soothing flow on his latest record, Rare Pleasure. The LA-based producer and songwriter grew up in New Jersey, breakdancing to hip hop, playing the organ and sharing beat tapes with friends online. This background led him to a solo career on the iconic indie label Stones Throw, as well as to collaborations with other experimental hip hop artists like Pink Siifu and Tyler, the Creator. Blending jazz, samba, exotica and even vintage radio jingles with reflective lyrics, MNDSGN welcomes San Jose listeners into his endlessly innovative sonic world this Wednesday night.
