This haunting desert noir vibrates through the dashboard of a trusty older cruiser. A half-old tape machine, half-busted turntable. Ghost melody of the badlands. Tremolo melancholy across dust heavy rhythms. Rattlehawk is Joe Mendonca, a sound maker and producer out of Portland, Oregon.

Rattlehawk's work consists of original compositions, with no sample chops used. The sound thumps and echoes through tremolo, springing reverb, and pitch-explorative delays. Tape hiss and anything that warbles. Live instrumentation such as guitars, bass, theremin, synthesizers, organs, and even voice, are often then sampled and mangled. The beats are hip-hop in nature, combing elements of 1960s pysch, garage, and old drum machine hits.

Since 2006 and under various monikers, Rattlehawk has collaborated with artists such as Portugal. The Man, Theory Hazit, Vursatyl (Lifesavas, Blackalicious), Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox), Guilty Simpson, Spencer Moody (Murder City Devils), Boots Riley, Mr. Lif, Libretto, Zoo?, and Bushido Garvey.

“Desert Rhythms” is a series of releases by the artist. The first three full-length volumes, “Scared Jackal Walk”, “Black Sun Moccasins”, and “Vroom the Unhaunts” are all available through Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, and other digital staples. In the future is the long worked on album "Naked Holster".

Born 1987 in West Germany. Not being a good kid in the hood, the teachers said. And still the musician, who has lived in berlin since 2007, made his name to a figurehead of the progressive psytrance scene. The young man is by no means a reserved type. Querox keen sense of music has enabled him to move crowds around the world since 2010, which was also the year he founded the record label "Prog On Syndicate" which by 2015 had become one of the most successful german record labels in the psytrance scene and brought many new artist into the spotlights. After his 1st album release "How Life Goes On" in 2012 Querox went its way from a local secret to an internationally recognized musician. At a very young age the producer and DJ established himself as one of the most successful Progressive Psytrance artist in the world. Today Querox can be seen at the world's most famous events and festivals all around the globe.
