by Singer, songwriter, and producer Ross Mintzer returns with his brand-new album ‘aimless mystics’, delivering a captivating fusion of heartfelt songwriting, modern electronic production, and global sounds. A dynamic creative force, Mintzer performs his original electronic music live while weaving in live saxophone, giving his shows a unique energy that balances intimacy with high-octane power. His artistry has drawn acclaim from Rolling Stone UK, Dancing Astronaut, We Rave You, and even echoed through Yankee Stadium.
Mintzer has spent the past year crafting ‘aimless mystics’, shaping each track through deep self-reflection and a curiosity to push into fresh sonic territory. Produced entirely by Mintzer himself, many of the songs have already become fan-favorites in his live sets, a testament to their emotional resonance and dance-driven appeal.
The album opens with ‘cosmic farewell’, an uplifting dance-pop anthem laced with electric rhythms and club-ready production. Its infectious hooks and layered female vocals establish the album’s vibrant tone, a sound built for both festival stages and late-night headphones.
At the heart of aimless mystics is the concept of “aimlessness” inspired by Buddhist philosophy, specifically one of the Three Doors to Liberation, which reminds us that we already are who we hope to become. Mintzer also drew grounding strength from Stoic teachings: focusing on what he can control and letting go of what he cannot. These influences guided the album’s creative journey, allowing vulnerability and curiosity to lead the way.
Mintzer recorded most of his vocals with a legendary Neumann U47, originally from John Lennon’s Tittenhurst Park Studio. The iconic microphone adds warmth and presence throughout the project, also lending its magic to Mintzer’s saxophone during live performances.
Lead single ‘frequencies’ exemplifies his bold sonic approach. The track opens with melancholic electronics before expanding into bright, bouncy EDM textures, featuring shape-shifting vocoder-style vocals and melodic twists that are unmistakably Mintzer. It’s feel-good dance-pop with lasting emotional pull.
The album also features collaboration with Italian producer Lorenzo Cosi, who co-produced two tracks. With nods to innovators like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Mintzer stretches electronic music into new spaces, creating an album that feels both global and deeply personal.
With ‘aimless mystics’, Ross Mintzer cements his reputation as a trailblazer in electronic music, pushing boundaries, blending genres, and inviting listeners into a sonic world that reaches new creative heights.
