About

Aligning Minds is the joint output of two electronic music producers, Daniel Merrill and Michael Folk. That'd be us. We are close friends who have shared an unorthodox alliance through music for many years.

Sometimes we work closely together, sometimes we just make individual tracks - but you can expect genre-crossing, style melding, original productions that have a simple and honest mission... to evoke, connect and ALIGN.

However varied and regardless of the source - we have a common aim that is fused through melody, atmosphere, space and emotion.

It's in this way that Aligning Minds has come to exist.

Hinting at genres, melding influences and creating new spaces - we try to make music that lands between the known boundaries and finds it's own identity.

Aligning Minds has had the pleasure of collaborating with and performing alongside artists as varied as Emancipator, Invisible Allies, Alvin Risk, Beats Antique, Robert Manos, Shpongle, Alex Grey, Daedelus, Mochipet, Richie Hawtin, Eskmo, John Tejada, Nosaj Thing, Benga, edIT, Kraddy, Jimmy Edgar, Headhunter, Bluetech, Kilowatts, Untold, OTT, the Great Mundane, Green Velvet, Milosh and the list continues.

Stay tuned as we start to make our music available, consumable, downloadable, untraceable and irreplaceable.

"it is merely the natural action of PURE radio-activity or that etherical composition for which we have no name, but which we have vaguely called the SOUL for countless ages.”
