STATE OF MIND

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, State of Mind are the duo of Stu Maxwell and Patrick Hawkins.
Formed in 2004, they have gone on to release 5 studio albums, 1 live album and literally dozens of singles and EP's. Their 2014 LP 'Eat the Rich' won the 'Drum & Bass Awards' album of the year, while their follow up album 'Land of the Blind' was also a finalist for the same award.

They have been nominated for Best Electronic Artist three times at the Aotearoa Music Awards.

The list of labels they’ve worked with reads like a who's who of drum and bass - it includes Blackout, Eatbrain, BSE Recordings, Universal Records, Uprising, Shogun, Project 51, Viper, Subtitles, Eatbrain, FATE, Citrus, Bad Company, 31 Records, CIA and more. State of Mind are now signed exclusively to Black Sun Empire's flagship 'Blackout' label.
