A heavy bass line is my kind of silence.
.
KreliaS, a classically trained musician, embarked on a remarkable musical journey, forged amidst the crucible of heavy metal's primal energy, the ethereal realms of progressive/alternative and psychedelic rock, and the haunting abyss of dub bass lines. From this enigmatic fusion, KreliaS weaves spellbinding tapestries of dark and emotive drum and bass soundscapes, seamlessly blending raw power and melodic liquid elements.
With a focus on production, KreliaS has been diligently crafting his own distinctive style of drum and bass to enhance his sets and share with the world.

H3idrun grew from the roots of underage raves in the mid 2000s. Inspired by the lights, sounds and colours of the scene and moving through styles over the years, from hard house to dnb, trance and psy, he eventually fell in love with DJing and the heavy bass and 808s of dubstep and trap.

The birth of H3idrun brings all of these influences together and joins ethereal synths and down-tempo rolling bass-lines with hard hitting drums and atmospheric vocals to ride the wave music movement from a calm sunrise to deep dark late night weirdness.
