Flash Forward / Clear Distinction

Flash Forward (Original Mix)

Having over 30 releases out there on many different labels, soundaddict Rogier Habraken a.k.a. Mindmapper lost his status as "new-comer" long ago. Thanks to support of many keyfigures within the scene, he has laid down a solid foundation for the future. Backed up by many gigs, residencies and appearances on events, radioshows and festivals in both the Netherlands and abroad. Next to that he's co-owner of Break-Fast Audio, sound designer and mix engineer for Dutch broadcasting and has a curating duty for the online music discovery service 22tracks.com.

Coming from a background of working with bands, playing piano, double bass and electric guitar for many years and building his own studio, Mindmapper has got all the musical skills a producer might want. What started out as recording and arranging songs played by his band, evolved in a serious affection for cutting, sampling and composing electronic music. Combined with his education as an Audio Designer, Mindmapper is a musical mastermind whose style expands way beyond just Drum & Bass. 

It's hard to describe his broad spectrum of productions in few words but one can find all sort of influences ranging from techno to rock and dub to classical. His tunes and collabarations tend to explore the "boundaries" of the genre and have been spotted, not surprisingly, by a broad audience. Support comes from Loxy, Doc Scott, Hazard, Hype, Octane & DLR, D-Kay, Bailey, Fabio, Consequence, Gremlinz, June Miller amongst many others. With material forthcoming on Samurai Music, Dispatch, Eternia Music, Soundium X, Creative Wax and CX, 2013 looks bright.

Melodic and Slowdown Techno Dj and Producer 




Drum and Bass Alter Ego as Sub:Ohdus  

Bio:
Ohdus took his first and ambitious steps on his journey towards the spirit of Berlin’s dance floors on classical piano and not so classical breakdance background. After starting to drop his favourite tunes in the middle of the concrete jungle he grew up in, he was always seeking for badass rhythms filled with deep and dark driven melody lines, getting ready to deliver them to the capital’s dance floors. Once arrived in Berlin, he was quickly offered the chance of a residency, which figured out as his field of experimenting with psychedelic sounds, dark ambiences, deep harmonies and beats with ass shaking attitude.

In his productions he combines his feeling for forward movement, dark but touchy leads and the moments of unpredictable breakdowns. No matter if slowdown or melodic techno, his tracks are dance floor focused, keeping the heat of busy club nights to pick up listeners where they individually stand, in order to take them on a ride through his musical universe. Always up for the next floor catcher to serve in form of tracks and DJ sets, he now also works on a melodic live set , as the next logical step of his musical development.
