"Ringgo Ancheta describes one of his earliest excursions of his own into the modern world, when he hitchhiked to Philadelphia. 'The first guy I met on the street introduced me to the world of music and beat making. Within a day I was making my own beats on his sampler.' As his trips into the city became more frequent, he began using the name Mndsgn (pronounced 'mind design'). His transformation complete, Mndsgn headed west. He now resides in Los Angeles and is signed to Stones Throw Records who has released his debut album Yawn Zen. He’s carved himself an unusually calm-sounding place in the Los Angeles beat scene. Songs on Yawn Zen were recorded 'in a state of bliss,' as the producer explains. 'I’ve allowed myself to study the absence of daily struggle and its effects, and began to subconsciously paint that vibe in the music. Yawn Zen comes from a very neutral place that we, sometimes, are too busy to realize is there'." - Stones Throw
