Click here to add your voice to the MDS comment thread on IsraTrance. After growing up in Brussels, in 1994 Nelson discovered psytrance when taken – as a surprise – to the first Boom festival (he hasn’t missed one since) in his native Portugal. Through Portuguese parties and extensive travel, Nelson was exposed to all types of trance, and in 1998, he began to DJ darker-style psychedelic music. Back in Belgium a few years later, he began producing as Mind Distortion System, but his limited computer background (and financial resources) meant that it took some time before he could achieve the technical quality he wanted. In Belgium, Nelson continued to DJ and produce. In 2002, he co-founded Mystical Druids Society (party promotion) and still organizes parties whenever possible. Then, at the Freaky Dragons Festival in 2005, DJ Chrysalid (Trishula) and Karim a.k.a. Baba Jelly “discovered” Nelson when they heard his DJ set. He remains close friends with both and collaborates musically with Karim on a regular basis (so expect more from this duo!). After joining Trishula in 2005, Nelson has spent the last 2 years tirelessly perfecting his sound and developing his debut album, while also playing around the globe at events ranging from Moondust in India to Psycrowdelica in Germany. Tracks from his soon-to-be-released (Nov 7) debut album, “He Claims to be Not Human,” are already being played by a few (trusted!) DJs. Recent feedback from Goa: “The people are dancing like goblins!” As the BPMs go up and controversy swirls around what “dark” psychedelic trance actually is, Nelson remains dedicated to producing psychedelic music to help night-time trancers find their way to a place beyond body and mind. RECENT/UPCOMING RELEASES Apr 2006: Japan Connection (152 bpm) on Trishula's MECHANOPHOBIA May 2006: Dr Givazoo on (154 bpm) Devils Mind Records' DURDOM (co-produced with Baba Jelly) Oct 2006: Desert Highway (150 bpm) on Trishula's SONIC SEASONING Dec 2006: pissedoffskaya (158bpm) on Black Magik's Morthor Spede Jun 2007 Underworld (148 bpm) on Trishula's PHOENIX RISING 30 NOV 2007 NEW RELEASE!

Music:Member Since: 6/16/2006Band Website: mind-distortion-system.com Band Members: .. Releases & Upcoming Shows "Family Photos" ;-) .. 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. Record Label: Trishula Type of Label: Indie |
