Thanks to momentous tunes such as Inner City Life, Warhead, or Friday, Mentalien got introduced to drum & bass when he was thirteen, but only got addicted around the millenery whe he felt in love with the genre. He purchased his first records around the same time when liquid funk was borned, and since then the subgenre has an important role in his musical taste.After a few local gigs and guest appearances on Est FM, he joined the 3Elements’ group self-titled radioshow in his hometown, Jaszbereny. However the two hour slot proved to be short for four-five DJ’s, so the idea of Mentaliens own show, 3K was born, which is on air on every Sunday for more than three and a half years now. Over these years many talented hungarian DJ’s has been on the show and a few international guests aswell.Besides the radioshow, he started playing on gigs too on the countryside (Debrecen, Szeged, Kecskemet, Szolnok, Sopron, Szekesfehervar, etc) and in Budapest on events promoted by Bladerunnaz/Drum Club/Different Drum, ImpulseCreator, Sound-O-Phonics. He played alongside not only the main hungarian DJ’s, but with acclaimed international artists, such as TC1 & Stress Level, Redeyes, Craggz & Parallel Forces, Brooklyn, Q Project, DJ Lee, ASC, Fracture and Universal Project. Concentrating on his crowd, most of his selection comes from dancefloor oriented liquid with a few heavier tracks.Besides spinning records, he’s producing occasionally, in which the main man of ImpulseCreator, ICR has helped him collaborating with him for a few tracks. Since 2005 Mentalien takes part in the hungarian scene as a journalist too, writing articles, interviews and reviews for drumandbass.hu.He is mainly influenced by the earlier music of High Contrast and the stlye that Hospital Records is reknowned for. Recently his musical palette is getting more colorful: on the smoother side of dnb he favours artists like Calibre, Random Movement, Danny Byrd or Nu:tone; and when it comes to the heavier sound, he always have room to the jump up/liquid crossover TC and Heist records.
