.Fri ft. Adam Rahman And Mental Machine

Mental Machine aka Shruthdev's musical journey is driven by curiosity and no small measure of pure passion for music. Regularly venturing off the beaten track, he finds and incorporates sparks of inspiration from little-known gems. Also being the co-founder of Housefly Network he has been an integral part of Bangalore’s Underground culture and has hosted some of the most memorable nights.
Mental Machine is just a reflection of his persona, but only in context to the music! Having been active since 2012, he’s explored a gamut of sounds from early classic house, breakbeats, electro and more recently melodic techno.
With impeccable taste and crate digging skills, his sets are an intricate blend of interesting rhythms, deep bass lines and harmony. Having shared the stage with the likes of Victor Ruiz, Fathia, Tom Trago, La Fleur, Brian Cid, Patrice Baumel, Mathame, Etap Kyle across Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Goa.

When sounds move minds, which in turn feed the soul inspiration, it’s inevitable to think with anything but sounds. Afterworx, an off-shoot of Beatworx Studio was formed with a motive to nurture the burgeoning electronic music scene in India. We curate weekly properties and nights across venues in associations with other local crew brewing a melting pot of great music, ambience and experience. Music has always been the primary motivation and backbone here at Beatworx studio, we see ourselves as a collective of free thinkers, who strive to propagate art from diverging fields. Founded by Ashwin and Ashrith(Audio Units) in 2012 who have been at the backdrop of the music scene for over a decade, our team here at Beatworx has grown organically, providing a platform for our fellow students as a closely-knit community bound together by an undying passion for music.
