Ipoly-Promo: "Mentalic's follow-up to "Highway Man" contains 4 tracks ranging from freak out slapstick Techno to more melodious pieces. It starts with "Frontrow Ticket", a freaky funny jumptune showing Menty's likings. No one less then Rico Puestel aka Dinamoe delivers the appendant remix - a huge groovy monster that beats the cones off your fir. "Last Cigarillo" finishes the vinyl part of the release. A
smoky and husky mover for the early hours. As digital bonus comes grubby dirty "Double-D-Fender"... Another release proving that Ipoly is on the fast lane!"

WRCK-Promo: "Hot new shit on Wreckless Digital, featuring MENTALIC. This guy has some seriously warped twisted, and complex music that is both kinetic and mental. When we heard his stuff, we were amazed, and in our opinion he is one of the hottest producers on the planet. We could write alot more about this , but in the end you just have to listen. You wont regret it!"

became what he is somehow like this:
Mentalic's passion for music began to grow in the mid 90s by listening to Hardcore/ Gabber and some Metal stuff and finally in 2001 he started producing seriously. He also wanted to dj and so began to buy vinyl records. Since that time he tried to find ways to go public but he didn't had the right connections and also his producing methods were skilled low. Back then harder and more rave-based styles were on his mind - influenced by the examples of PCP, Acardipane Records and similar stuff. He didn't wanted to make only "boring" Techno and over the years he created dozens of aliases for various styles he explored - some of them still exist.
In 2002 he met Fin Phranklin / Alec Troniq through an education in Dresden. They became brothers in mind and spent a lot of time producing head to head after school. Through Fin he came in touch with the scene in Dresden, went to his first Techno and Hardcore parties and met people who were / are involved.
His first public DJ-gig he had in 2005 at the Triebwerk in Dresden. The next two years he spent with producing and djing at different locations. In that time his musical focus changed and finally set to more Techno-influenced tunes.
Already at the end of 2006 he was sent a request to release his now well known "Desperado". He met Dirk Steyer of famous EBM-project Accessory and came in touch with local ETUI Records label and so in august 2007 the first releases containing Mentalic tracks were to get. ETUI Records also featured his "Prague" and made it a little "hit". His second solo-record "Chapter One: Desperado" and a great Gabriel Ananda & Dominik Eulberg remix followed on Microtonal and brought him first international interest.
Together with Alec Troniq, Tickles and the heads of Microtonal he created Ipoly Music his first own imprint in august 2008. Exactly one year later he played his biggest gig to date at the famous "Nature One" festival.
In pursuance of the different styles of Techno he used to produce he splitted hisself into Mentalic (for more reduced and downtempo stuff) and Rey Alister (for authentic, faster and straighter Techno).
Nowadays his music could be discribed as Minimal Techno with a slapstick rebel attitude and some dark moments. His releases on further labels like Wreckless Recordings (Omaha/ US) or Glare Records (Berlin) and remixes for acts like Miro Pajic, Groove Delicious or labelmate Alec Troniq prove that.
Menty is a "Techabilly" and he plays "Tech'N'Roll"!!... What the...?? See him on stage to understand!
