Mindhead

Mindhead is a neurofunk and experimental drum & bass producer from Russia. The bio he gave Sonic Shift describes his sound as dark atmospheres, warped percussion and heavy bass, coming out of a background in experimental electronics.

He has been releasing since at least 2018, largely through the Russian neurofunk circuit. His appearance on Invasion Recordings, Hellhound / Muck (INVSN019, 2 September 2018), was a two-tracker with Rieger — a collaborator he has kept working with since. Lying TV / Submarine followed on the same label, reviewed as a new release on 16 September 2020.

In July 2020 the Belarusian label You So Fat & Deep Records put out his five-track Invader EP: "Shotgun", "Invader" and "Alien Invasion" (both with Rieger), "Monster Behind The Door", and "Bad Rider" with Macheta. Most of his catalogue dates from that period — the EPs Wasteland (July 2020), Another Reality (February 2021) and Infinity (August 2021), and the single Nomad (December 2021). He also turns up on compilations, among them New Army LP, Vol. 2 ("Secret Society"), 8 Years of Invasion ("Earth Pain") and Friendship LP (Vol. 1) ("Wind Of Luck"). His most recent release is a 2024 remix, Смотри (Mindhead remix) for dиkо.

He mixes as well as produces. His SoundCloud holds tracks such as "Lumbago", "Death Factory", "Turbo Boost" and "Earth Pain", along with a guest mix recorded for Drop Dealerz in October 2022.

For Sonic Shift #2 he played a DJ set of experimental neurofunk — the second episode the show ever recorded.
