Drum & Bass duo State Of Mind are set to release their highly anticipated third studio album, Nil by Ear on 11 April and are celebrating with an album release with a show at Zen, Auckland, on April 15.

And what a party it’s going to be. Combining catchy 3am ravers with seamless production and smooth vocals, Nil By Ear is set to become an anthem of an album for a heavy hype night out.

Through the driving party vibes and club friendly tunes, this is also an album of progression, with group member Stu Maxwell citing it as, “the peak so far of our technical skills.”

"It's carefully produced from start to finish," says Stu. "A lot of thought has gone into the flow of the album. This is one that can be listened to from beginning to end, as opposed to a collection of singles."

And while they’ve upped-the-anti technicality-wise, the lads have been careful to maintain their commitment to dance floor stompers and wee-hour wonders with the proof found in their tracks – now tried and true - smashing it up worldwide over the last six months.

Collaboration wise, the album features several of New Zealand’s most talented vocalists including Shapeshifter's P.Digsss, Thomas Oliver, Sacha Vee, MC Woody, PNC, as well as American singer 3pm and production collaborators, Nymfo and DNME.
