Mr Minimax aka Rob Dunstone is a young man from Oxford, but this isn’t another boat race story. His upbringing gave him solid music foundations with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Stravinsky as listening material.
From a very early age an infatuation with music was apparent, he jumped at any opportunity to make noise, be it using an instrument, his mouth, or whatever item was closest to hand. While his tastes were broad and eclectic, his knowledge of music creation was limited tofirst hand experiences. Thanks to a love of The Prodigy it dawned on Rob that music could be created without a band, or even “proper” instruments. A light switched on in his head and hasn’t dimmed since.
Rob now holds a residency at Oxford club night ‘Fresh Out the Box’ and has several releases under his belt that display style of downtempo and experimental electronics, through techno to breakcore carnage.
A four track release “Knights Move Thinking” for Myuzyk arrives soon. Date tbc.

A phenomenon similar to derailment of thought or loosening of associations, is characterized by odd, tangential associations between ideas that lead to disruptions.” The music within this release displays these characteristics, known as Knights Move Thinking. Sparse drums collide with edits and bass deployments whilst elsewhere beautiful piano keys dance with twitching rhythms across firing synapses. Mr Minimax deftly flirts with techno, electronica and dubstep and makes it seem like a fluid relationship.
