(2003 – present)

Minimal Criminal is a dark minimal progressive psytrance project from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was formed by Dj’s Valerio Zhyin and Bruno Echoes in the beginning of 2003. Their tracks are around 133-140 bpm, often with a dark night time vibe, bizarre psychedelic effects and crazy samples.
——
Currently, the members of Minimal Criminal live in different countries. Valerio Zhyin] is living in Israel and is available for gigs in Europe, Africa and Asia.Bruno Echoes still lives in Brasil and is availabe for gigs there and in the rest of South America.

In late 2007, Zhyin started working on the material for the Minimal Criminal debut album,”Minimus Maleficarum”. It took some time before a concept for the album was created. The concept would be inspired by the cult/horror/drug exploitation films from the 50s/60s/70s. A retro psychedelic trip. Every track would include a sample taken from some obscure film. Also, many vintage synth sounds and effects were used to further compliment the little stories within each track. Eventually, Bruno joined in the production and the album was finally completed in 2010. This CD will be released by Cosmic Conspiracy records (New Zealand) through Saikosounds on November 26.

Minimal Criminal is primarily influenced by the minimal psytrance/progressive psy sound from the late 90s/early 00s. However, they are developing their own signature sound, borrowing elements from minimal techno/house, progressive trance, electro , psytechno/tech-trance, etc as well as other types of music . Some tracks have a dark atmosphere while other tracks display a lighter and/or comical side, though always psychedelic in nature .The BPM range is from 125 to 140.
