Mandelbass by Heyoka

Heyoka manages to stand out amongst bass music producers with a cult like following due to his unique take on all things ‘Glitch’ and ‘Bass’ centric. In the past few years Heyoka has been taking elements of Glitch Hop, Grime, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, and now Blues and Jazz and turned them on their heads repeatedly and emerging at times like the audio version of synthesized dimethyltryptamine and other times creating walls of sound that provide a full body massage and relieve pressure on the extremities.

One undeniably consistent element that is heard from anywhere he has toured or been submitted for review, is that the Heyoka experience is a bass lovers delight.

Mandelbass is named in respect to mathematician and ‘creator’ of fractals Benoit B. Mandelbrot and also delves deeply into blues and 1960’s garage influences, all the while maintaining Heyoka’s dynamic use of Glitch plugins and edits. So get ready for a ‘glitched out session of low down bass grooves and some honky tonk thrown in for good measure.

Andrei Olenev has been a staple of the west coast psychedelic bass music scene for over a decade.  His first project,  Heyoka,  brought him to festivals all over the world.  Since 2012  he has been producing and performing as  “Andreilien.”  His sound combines elements of various musical styles without confining itself to any particular genre.
