Artist Biography
Available in:
Formed in 2002, State of Mind is the drum and bass duo from New Zealand of Patrick Hawkins and Stuart Maxwell.

The State of Mind discography includes labels such as Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, Total Science's CIA Recordings, DJ Friction's Shogun Audio, Concord Dawn's Uprising Records, Doc Scott's 31 Records, Bad Company's BC Presents & Black Sun Empire Recordings.

In 2005 the duo premiered their first single to the world, Sunking / Human Torch , released on C.I.A. (Computer Integrated Audio). For the next two years, the drum & bass scene saw more releases than one can count on one hand by the ambitious kiwis, and they didn’t show any sign of letting up by premiering their own namesake imprint in 2007, SOM (State of Mind) Music.

State of Mind took out the "Breakthrough Artist" award and shared "Electronic Single of the Year" with Concord Dawn for the song "Aces High" at the 2006 bNet Awards. They had been nominated at the 2007 New Zealand Music Awards for "Best Electronic Album" for their debut LP Take Control. In March 2009 they released a second LP, Faster Than Light, featuring guest appearances from New Zealand artists PNC and Tiki Taane. In April 2011, their album "Nil By Ear" was released with 12 songs including their main 3 singles which include Return Of The Prophet which features PNC and it was nominated at the 2012 New Zealand Music Awards for "Best Electronic Album". In April 2014, their fourth studio album entitled "Eat the Rich" was released on Blackout Music. The release won the 'Album of the Year' at the Drum & Bass Arena awards in the UK.
