Mind Vortex is an English drum-and-bass duo comprising schoolmates Laurie Carroll and Stefan Anfield, who began making music together after meeting at school. Both were classically trained musicians before turning their attention to drum-and-bass production. Their first music came out on Plush Recordings, and they later sent material to Andy C and Scott before joining RAM Records. Their releases on the label include the EPs Colours and Against the Grain, as well as the singles “Hotbox” and “Now It’s Time.” The duo have described their approach as making the music they want to hear, with their sound changing in response to their tastes and inspirations.
Mind Vortex collaborated with Adam F on “Music Is My Life,” featuring Yolanda, and played at fabric in London for a RAM event. Daft Punk were named by the duo as a major electronic-music influence. Laurie Carroll has also spoken about enjoying production work across different kinds of projects and taking on work when he feels he can contribute creatively.
