Mind Enterprises is the aesthetic universe and musical dream world of Turin-born producer Andrea Tirone. Inspired by the effervescent, synth-driven Italo of the 80s, groovy, disco-inspired basslines, hypnotic drum patterns and cosmic keyboard odysseys define the sound of Mind Enterprises. Tirone views his ever-growing collection of vintage synthesizers like a "palette of colors" or an orchestra of artists. "Each individual machine has a distinctive sound that is exclusively the sound of that machine.

After the timeless single 'IDOL' on Because Music, which Swarovski used for an international advertising campaign, he pricked up the ears of his peers, most notably DJ/producer Tino Piontek PKA Purple Disco Machine, who asked him to collaborate on the title track of his 'Exotica' LP, and French DJ superstar Valentin Brunel PKA Kungs, who sampled 'Idol' on his massive global hit single 'Never Going Home', which reached the Top 10 in France, Poland, Croatia and the Dutch Top 40 and was the fourth most Shazamed track in the world last summer, going Diamond in France and 2x Platinum in Italy and Poland.

Mind Enterprises also released a one-off single on Italian dance label Time, a subsidiary of Discomagic, a fun and quirky reinterpretation of the classic "The Clapping Song", which Kungs also remixed.

Meanwhile, Andrea and his partner in music and 80s fashion Roberto Conigliaro, the Sicilian capo of synthesizers, took their Italo party on the road after the world survived the global pandemic in 2022. They won new fans by supporting the mighty Confidence Man for the UK leg of their tour in early summer, playing festivals in Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

After a busy 2023 on tour and the release of single 'Find You' on Australian label Sweat It Out, the duo are planning another summer of synth action for 2024 and after some writing and production work behind the scenes, a couple of releases are also planned for later in the year. Expect to see and hear a lot more from Mind Enterprises in the coming months.
