Bogdan Olaru , born on 25 September 1984 had an attraction to music since he was a little child. At that early age he started to buy and listen to tapes that were on the roll back then. As a teenager he had the chance to meet and be guided through the world of hip-hop music by artist like Grasu XXL and Maximilian. This genre stands at the basics of his career.

Mandrakov (Alexey Mandrakov)

In his distant youth, he listened to the songs of legendary bands such as Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Space, Giorgio Moroder, Supermax on his father's cassettes, and a little later he heard a collection from Ibiza from a friend, and, apparently, this was a significant moment in his life as an artist.

In the summer of 2012, Alexei's first performance as a disc jockey took place in the King Korolyu club (Yaroslavl), and a little later he became a member of the PromodjTV project (Moscow).

In 2020, he has performed in such clubs as: Pur Pur afterparty (Moscow), Biggi afterparty (Moscow), Zeppelin (Yaroslavl), Line up (Yaroslavl), Mc2 (Vologda), Zhir project (Kostroma), Iceberg (Yaroslavl) ). Plexus club (St. Petersburg, Zinger Archive (St. Petersburg), Incognito (Moscow), Mix afterparty (Moscow), WARPP CLUB (St. Petersburg).

Today Mandrakov is a successful and demanded artist, whose sets and live performances will not leave anyone indifferent! Charisma, positive message, and unique

tricks in the selection of material make him an indispensable participant in good parties.

Since 2019, she has been a member of the creative association R_sound.




Mandrakov (Алексей Мандраков)

В далекой юности он слушал на кассетах отца песни легендарных групп, таких как Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Space, Giorgio Moroder, Supermax, а чуть позже услышал у друга сборник с Ибицы, и, видимо, это и был знаковый момент в его судьбе, как артиста.

Летом 2012 года состоялось первое выступление Алексея в качестве диск-жокеяв клубе Король Королю (Ярославль), а чуть позже он стал участником проекта PromodjTV (Москва).

В 2020 году за его плечами выступления в таких клубах как: Pur Pur afterparty (Москва), Biggi afterparty (Москва), Zeppelin (Ярославль), Line up (Ярославль), Mc2 (Вологда), Жir project (Кострома), Айсберг (Ярославль). Plexus club (Санкт- Петербург, Архив Зингер (Санкт - Петербург), Incognito (Москва), Микс afterparty (Москва), WARPP CLUB ( Санкт-Петербург).

Сегодня Mandrakov – успешный и востребованный артист, чьи сэты и живые выступления не оставят равнодушным никого! Харизма, позитивный посыл, а также уникальные

приемы в подборе материала делают его незаменимым участником хороших вечеринок.

С 2019 является участником творческого объединения R_sound.

Bio:
In the early beginnings of David’s musical journey, he stayed awake to tape-record live radio broadcasts by major Italian clubs, then created his original compilations, all with an old stereo. As soon as he laid hands on his first pair of Pioneer CDJ-100s in 2004, he began to spread his holistic, broad-minded collection of dance music with deep, funky, afro, tech, soulful, melodic to minimal house influences.

It brought him to Magazzini Generali, Amnesia, Leoncavallo, Milano Design Week and Milano Fashion Week in Italy, and to other parts of the world like Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macedonia, Malaysia, Maldives, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey, playing alongside artists like Nic Fanciulli, Davide Squillace, FISH56OCTAGON, Idriss D, Massano, Jeremy Olander, Guy J, Stephan Jolk, Giolì & Assia, EarthLife, DOBé, Cats on Crack, Rammo, Cosmo & Kramer, Rolandson, Francesco Farfa and Adriano Canzian.

Currently he is living in Singapore, and he is bringing his set in clubs and events like MDLR, Headquarters, Tuff Club, Kilo Lounge, Manifest, Ce La Vi, Tanjong Beach Club, Sunday Social and BeerFest Asia. During the pandemic he represented Singapore in one of United We Stream Asia sessions, a global initiative to support the music scene throughout the lockdown period (https://www.youtube.com/live/lvf3EiFz3Xk?feature=share&t=14749).

David’s love of radio also led him to host his own program, Sinestesia the exploration of 5 senses in music, since 2010 on the italian BM radio, and from 2020 on Ibiza Live Radio, 103.7 FM in Ibiza and Formentera and by mobile app and official website www.ibizaliveradio.com for the rest of the world. Apart from this, he is regularly featuring his guest mixes on international radios and podcast series such as Intaresu (GER), Deep MVMT (UK), Evaporate (TW), The Warehouse (VN), Voidrealm (MY) and Dub Techno TV, just to mention a few.

Production side, with his friend Michel Meroni, is part of the duo A1kS (A Thousand Shades), a collaboration that seeks to explore and express “a thousand shades” of electronic music. Armed with bonus knowledge of analog machines and music production software and sequencers, the duo has released their first single in 2020 on the Barcelona-based WOOD Records.
