Mndsgn - Body Wash (LAVENDER ECO-VINYL VINYL) - VINYL LP

Limited gold colored vinyl LP pressing. As Mndsgn's first approach to a traditional studio album, Rare Pleasure weaves itself in many forms as the albums evolving theme, blending root stylings of R&B, soundtrack/theme-music, psychedelia and jazz into a sonically rich score of self-actualization. The title itself, 'Rare Pleasure' is an appreciation of sharing life, inward reflection and the gift of joyful catharsis in the face of inevitable discord. As Mndsgn describes it, InchWe are beings living this human life that's only going to happen this way once and only once, every moment infused with a magical impermanence, a rarity.Inch

Vinyl LP pressing. Album cycles come around about once every two years, but Mndsgn, aka Ringgo Ancheta, is constantly making music. He wanted to do justice to his prolific creativity, so rather than let unreleased tracks wither and die on his hard drive, he decided to put out two records ahead of his next studio album, and the concept of Snax was born. Snax (one 'x') was a tape of remixes, self-released in 2018. Snaxx (2 'x's) follows with beat-heavy production including favorites from his hybrid live/DJ shows like InchDeviled EggsInch making an appearance. On his Boiler Room TV show Breakfast with Ringgo, he welcomed artists like Anderson.Paak, Knxwledge, Swarvy and Ahnnu to jam and/or converse in his studio. Snaxx has a similar vibe of having friends come visit, an atmosphere Ringgo compares to inviting friends round for dinner and providing Inchsomething to chomp onInch while preparing the meal. A few of those friends include close collaborators, Pink Siifu and Jon Bap. The cover art, which Ringgo illustrated himself, was based on a photo taken by Dan Bensch, given to him by Stones Throw's creative director Jeff Jank. The photo of a Foster's Freeze reminded Ringgo of the donut shop on J Dilla's Donuts cover.
