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.
