Minuit


Not a band to bend to industry pressure, Minuit created hypnotic dance music and forged their own path ahead for over a decade. Their numerous EPs, studio albums and remix compilations showed them to be a band unafraid to evolve their beats, instrumentation and style, while keeping their sound undeniably Minuit.

Minuit (‘Midnight’ in French) had their genesis in Nelson in the late 1990s. Vocalist Ruth Carr sang and played drums in various bands that changed and morphed, eventually becoming Minuit, with multi-instrumentalists, producers, and samplers Paul Dodge, and Ryan Beehre. At this point in the band’s metamorphosis, there was a fourth member, Lance Tighe, who was their vocalist, while Carr played the drums.
