Everyone has their own definition of Mental Tekno. For me, it's a style where every track has is one own story.

From beginning to end, tracks are often autonomous micro-novels. Sometimes it is a space odyssey between dimensions, sometimes it is an ethnic ritual performed somewhere in the corners of forgotten jungles. Each of these stories influences my emotions and mood. This is pure transcendence... These are not songs that will make the dance floor explode - here the mind dances - hence the apt name: mental.

I decided to record the set 100% on 12-inch mental style records. I must admit that I have been composing the selection for some time, carefully selecting albums that will turn the micro-novel into something bigger. I called the set "Sin and Salvation" - maybe a bit influenced by the upcoming most important holidays in Christianity. It consists of two parts - one dark, with sounds like from horror movies, full of grating noises, crackles and incomprehensible spells. Then there is a breakthrough and salvation, and you find yourself in a somewhat fairy-tale world.

I'm very curious about your reaction, this is my first 100% mental tekno set.
