Yuri van Vlijmen, Nils van Lingen — These two guys met each other at highschool. Immediately they discovered that their interests on the level of music were the same. Both of them already had a history in producing tracks, mainly on tracker programs and never in a really serious way. They decided to produce tracks together.
After a couple of years of hard work, their first release «Deus Ex Machina» on enzyme records was a fact.
The tracks they produced varied a lot, because they never had a particular style of music (other than hard electronic) in mind when they started.
That attitude nowadays still stands for Mindustries. Just producing whatever they like, as long as they are both 100% true to what they do, and never make any concessions.
