Swiss producer Robert Jan Meyer — better known as Minus 8 — weaves together a sophisticated mix of cinematic strings, rolling breakbeats, soulful samples and jazzy chords, crafting tracks that effortlessly glide between deep lounge moods and dancefloor momentum. There’s a cinematic quality throughout, with moments of smoky atmosphere and midnight soul that reflect the late-’90s shift toward more refined, groove-driven electronic music.

"Minuit" is a defining release of its time, connecting the dots between trip-hop, future jazz and downtempo soul, and cementing Minus 8’s reputation as one of Compost’s most distinctive voices. It’s a record built for late-night listening, twilight sets and timeless after-hours sessions.
