Since its inception in the UK’s mid eighties Post Punk and Rave scene, tunnelmental has forged its own brand. In the summer of 2010 Nigel R Mitchell had a new vision for tunnelmental that would focus on songwriting and high quality production. To that end he enlisted friend and former band mate Derek Pippert, whose beat making and production skills had become fully refined through years of working on music editing and audio for films. Born from this collaboration was a new style of music blending the spirit of punk activism with the sounds and pulse of electronic dance - “Punktronica” Since then tunnelmental has been steadily recording and releasing new material, playing shows and festivals, and doing solid remixes for other artists.
