Mystic State, hailing from the vibrant city of Bristol, UK, is a tour-de-force in electronic music production, forged from the creative minds of Will Marquiss and Mike Holliday. The duo is celebrated for their crystal-clear productions that are immediately identifiable, marked by a signature blend that captures the essence of late 90's jungle, dub, and ambient sounds, woven with film dialogue and meticulously placed samples that evoke a rich, textured soundscape. Their debut solo album, "My Own Private Island," released under their own label, The Chikara Project, was met with resounding acclaim. A steady stream of exceptional releases followed on J 's label, Artikal Music, where they unveiled gems like "Mahdi" and "Tomahawk," both heralded as some of the finest dubstep tracks of their time. The duo's influence has been acknowledged with nominations for 'Best Release' at the Duploc Awards. 2023 saw Mystic State ink a deal with Truth's label, Deep, Dark & Dangerous, and release their debut EP with the label, entitled "The Last Lotus," a release that further confirmed their place at the forefront of experimental electronic music and ultimately won "Best EP" at the 2023 Dubstep Awards. Towards the tail end of 2023, the duo dropped their sophomore solo album, "Between These Moments," another gem in their discography and a testament to their ever-evolving sonic evolution. As of 2024, Mystic State have touched down on Chord Marauders with their EP "Yozakura," released their acclaimed EP "South West Noire" on their own imprint, The Chikara Project, will be returning to Artikal Music for their fourth EP for the label, and have a special remix EP of their second LP, "Between These Moments," due to land at the tail end of the year. As they continue to shape the contours of electronic music, Mystic State stands as a beacon of innovation, with a sound that is not only heard but felt.
