Evil@Heart is the EDM project of producer and Label owner, Deon Baard. From the Winelands of Paarl, South Africa, Deon started his career as a Hip Hop DJ back in 1997. After the explosion of the Rave Culture, he soon expanded to doing some House & Trance DJ gigs.

However, after attending a couple of Psy-Trance Festivals, he soon became interested in producing and had his first release in 2001, under the project named, Damage.

Inspiration came from various genres of Dance Music, Hip hop and Metal. The focus was to create an aggressive sound that would shock people, yet keep them entertained on the dance floor. Powerful beats accompanied by high energy riffs and leads. Damage never followed any trends as this is a sure way to limit creativity and become mediocre.

The debut album, “Damage – God help us”, was released with Chemical Crew Records, Israel. Sales were successful and it gave Deon the inspiration he needed to continue his efforts with the project.

Since the release of the debut album, Damage has released various singles on Psy-trance compilations and EPs. The second album, “Damage – Bad Creationz”, was another favourite amongst DJs and listeners.

In 2014, Deon became the new owner of Terror Lab Industries. A Psytrance Label from Mexico on which there are plenty of Damage releases. This opened the door for him, knowing that he would have total control of future releases.

In 2018, after gaining enough experience managing Terror Lab Industries, Deon decided to create the Label, Diss Master Records, which would focus on more genres of Electronic Dance Music. It is at this point that his new project, Evil@Heart, was born.

Evil@Heart will focus on bringing back the vibes of the Old-School Rave, fused with the new ways of production and musical progression.
