Over three years following his breakout debut album DRMVRSE, LA-based producer, DJ, and label owner NGHTMRE, known for hit singles across genres like “REDLIGHT” with A$AP Ferg, “GUD VIBRATIONS” with SLANDER, and “CASH COW” with Gunna, releases his sophomore album MINDFULL. The highly anticipated 14-track project features collaborations with A$AP Ferg, Flowdan, Crankdat, Blanke, Soltan, Grammy-nominated producer Bekon, and more.
“After two years of building this concept I’m very proud to present my second album MINDFULL. This project is my most personal yet and is inspired from my personal experiences as an artist and a human. It’s about the internal battle of finding peace in a world that’s constantly fighting to grab your attention and bombard you with content from every direction. The album concept focuses on the juxtaposition of this battle: being online vs. offline. Information overload vs mental clarity. Mind Full vs mindful. Music has always been a source of stillness and bliss amidst the chaos of life. MINDFULL is about following my creative inspiration and ignoring outside noise. I focused on listening to gut instincts in the studio no matter what direction it led me. I can’t wait for you to not only hear this album, but also experience it as I bring the vision to life on tour this fall.” – NGHTMRE
Being mindful is where NGHTMRE is currently at in his career, and this album is his artistic statement on grounding oneself amid chaos. The project addresses societies’ deeply complicated relationship with technology and addiction to the internet, with 14 tracks that cut through the noise of digital overload with raw, unfiltered energy. Anchored by the standout single “Cyanide,” a collaboration with Viperactive and JT Roach, the album invites listeners to reconnect with reality amid an internet-saturated world. With MINDFULL, NGHTMRE redefines electronic music, not just as an escape, but as a tool for his fans to reclaim mental space and stay present. Perfect for listeners craving depth and vibrancy, this album is set to be the essential soundtrack for 2025.
Building to the album, NGHTMRE released five singles, starting with the energetic trap song “Torch” with Ferg and GRAMMY-nominated producer Bekon. Next, “Buried a Friend” marked a nostalgic return to his mid-2010s roots, reminiscent of his acclaimed Future Bass hits such as his remix of Just A Gent’s “Limelight” and his iconic collaboration “Gud Vibrations” with SLANDER. In May he dropped the relentless, high-energy DnB anthem, “Up Top” with UK grime legend Flowdan and bass innovator Sully. The next month, he unloaded one of the filthiest songs in his arsenal with “Type Sh*t” with Crankdat and Memphis rapper Duke Deuce. His most recent single released last month, “Everybody Knows” with genre-defying producer GorillaT and UK vocal powerhouse IRAH is a heavy-hitting dubstep infused with reggae smash. Over the past five months, NGHTMRE has teased these tracks on major festival stages like Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and ULTRA, building anticipation worldwide.
The latter half of MINDFULL is filled with unreleased tracks including stellar collaborations like standout track “Cyanide” with Viperactive and JT Roach, “Mind Full” with Australian phenom Blanke, “Bidar (Awake)” with enigmatic producer Soltan, and many more. In collaboration with genre-blending producer Sully, “Liar” is a melodic tune with sharp, synth influence, and a deep bass line that explores how the internet can be deceitful and contribute to a false reality. The album closes with “Mindful (Outro),” an honest, raw track, featuring NGHTMRE speaking about the concept of the album, reminding people that there is more to life than what’s on our screens, all on top of soothing production as the album fades out.
To amplify this vision, he’s announced the MINDFULL Tour with brand new visuals launching early October, bringing this immersive experience directly to fans. Tickets and information about the MINDFULL Tour can be found HERE.
