Laydee V – Battle Of The Mind Chart: A Journey Through Honest Minimal
Laydee V has been steadily building a reputation in the minimal and deep tech scene through Platform 7even, and this personal chart makes a compelling case for her curatorial instincts. Battle Of The Mind is not a random selection — it reads as a precise sonic map that reveals the tastes, references, and influences of an artist who truly knows her territory.
The opening statement is deliberate: Battle Of The Mind (Jorca Remix) kicks off the session at 127 BPM in Bb minor, delivering that hypnotic, loop-driven percussive texture that defines the darker side of contemporary European minimal. Jorca, who also contributes the solo track Be There (track 3), cements himself here as one of the names to watch within the Platform 7even ecosystem.
The duo Gomezs & ZiiPacco appears twice and steals the technical spotlight: STEPP at 130 BPM in G minor is distilled, pure groove, while Moottori — pushing to 133 BPM on sister label PL7 — adds pressure and tension through a relentless bassline that refuses to let go. These are the chart's highest-energy moments.
Emotional balance arrives through the deeper cuts. Happiness, co-signed with Another Daze, drops to 126 BPM in C major and leans into deep house with organic warmth. At the opposite end, Andromeda by Gurhan (LW Recordings) at just 95 BPM in Db minor is the most contemplative and atmospheric piece in the set — a necessary breath in the middle of the journey.
The collaboration with Dilon Karim and Vincent William on Yaku (This Ain't Bristol) brings international weight and depth: 7 minutes and 13 seconds in A minor that fully justify the extended format. The closing track, Placebo (with Collien), wraps things up in tech house territory at 123 BPM — a selection that knows exactly when to push and when to pull back.
