Belgian-based Mind Distortion System (M.D.S., MDS) is Nelson Jara Dos Santos, who also DJs as Nel-Sun.
Influences:
*** PRODUCER (Mind Distortion System - a.k.a. M.D.S.) : Nelson describes his style as "energetic, night, psychedelic and twisted, "psytrance as much for the brain as the body, night music but not necessarily dark. Yes, the night is dark, but it is many other things as well."
Artistic influences include Jahbo, Bonky, Ocelot and GOW, to name a few.
Astute listeners will recognize (wink wink) many other "influences" in M.D.S.'s music. ..to name just a few: Cheech, Chong , Fear, Loathing, Las Vegas, Kill Bill, Samuel L. Jackson, Johnny Depp...and aliens, aliens, ALIENS...!
*** DJ : Expect what he refers to as "essence of psy" DJ sets.
Sounds Like: I try to make true psychedelic trance, enabling listeners to travel far in mind and body. Most of my music is for the night, fast, twisted and above all, PSYCHEDELIC - usually between 148 and 156 bpm (max).
When DJing, I follow the same style - lots of emotion (my southern heritage) and the sensibility of the north (heavy Finnish, Scandinavian influences) applied to music from the east and west (e.g. mixing oCeLoT with Kindzadza). North, south, east, west: bringing it all together and trying to create something that touches people on a deep and tribal level. We are one family, one planet. We are one.
