Minuit

Minuit has a heart. And it beats loud. Real loud.

Minuit (minwee) became a must-see live act through the 2000’s, touring their synths and samplers from Hanoi to Helsinki.
The trio crafted their own energetic sound – and it’s refreshingly different.

Out front, the enigmatic Ruth Carr mixes sinister with salvation in a jubilant cascade of lyrics, while bandmates Ryan Beehre and Paul Dodge forge their rib-rattling, hip-shaking beats around her.

Rolling Stone magazine described it as, “despite an album title as dark as midnight, Minuit’s music is often as joyful as a fat kid with cake. ”With three albums and multiple EPs already in their catalogue, the Kiwi band with the French name (they kindly add the pronunciation to their posters…”minwee”) have toured far flung venues from St Petersburg to the Czech Republic; storming The Crystal Method’s DJ night in Los Angeles; playing the hotel where Tarantino wrote Pulp Fiction in Amsterdam; and headlining the Hanoi Festival in Vietnam.

A selection of European remix vinyl releases on DollHouse Records UK had them invited to perform a 30-minute live set for Annie Nightingale’s BBC Radio 1 show.

Minuit tracks appeared on episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, Lucifer and closer to home, Outrageous Fortune!

Over the 2011 summer Minuit joined forces with a 15-piece traditional Balinese gamelan for two explosive percussive sets at WOMAD and Homegrown Festivals.

After disbanding in 2014, Minuit announced a handful of reunion shows in 2025.

With a sound as addictive as it is distinctive – it’s Minuit.
