The twenty-second instalment of our mix series is curated by Mind Archives, DJ and producer from Galicia, Spain.
He began his path into electronic music in the early 2000s, working exclusively with vinyl. That commitment shaped his craft, refined through residencies at The Garage, a long-running venue in his hometown, and later at Porto’s legendary Gare.
He now runs Terra Meiga, a small-scale festival focused on experimental and exploratory sounds, and Santa Compana , his own label, which debuted with his Morriña EP.
Mind Archives has recorded a nearly two-hour vinyl mix that unfolds gradually and organically, drawing listeners into more than a sequence of tracks. It features a selection of deep techno, dub techno and minimal moving through long, fluid transitions.
Have a good listening!
☉ About Mind Archives:
Diego García, artistically known as Mind Archives, is a DJ and producer from Galicia, Spain. His path into electronic music began in the early 00s, shaped by his family environment — especially his father, with whom he shared countless car rides accompanied by cassette tapes filled with house, electro and progressive music. That exposure would later become a vocation.
In 2007 he took up the art of DJing on vinyl — an experience that laid the foundation for his technical approach and lasting preference for the analogue format. His first performances in small local clubs soon led to a residency at The Garage, a long-running venue in his hometown of Verín.
Between 2020 and 2024 Mind Archives curated Aroma Cósmico Festival, contributing to the cultural landscape of northwestern Iberia. During those years he was also resident DJ at Gare Porto, one of the country’s most influential electronic music venues.
Back in Galicia, he now runs Terra Meiga — a small-scale festival focused on experimental and forward-thinking sounds — and his own record label, Santa Compaña. The label debuted with the Morriña EP, self-produced by Mind Archives.
Mind Archives’ artistic vision is defined by a balance between melodic nostalgia and sonic experimentation. His DJ sets and productions move between emotional expression and technical exploration, placing him within the independent electronic music scene of Southern Europe.
