Heyoka (AKA Andrei Olenev) is another cosmic auditory scientist found in the Bay Area noosphere who recently delighted us with his auditory manipulations. Heyoka is fast becoming one of San Francisco’s hottest new producer/performers on the scene. His early influences in Down tempo, Dub and IDM combined with more recent mid tempo dance floor genres from the likes of Bassnectar, Glitch Mob and An-ten-nae have helped create a very unique sound that combines relentless basslines, hip hop and dub rhythms with a lot of musicality and melody. Heyokas’ earlier works were identifiable by their crushing basslines and ‘spacey’ blips and glitches, ‘Pineal Dub’ shows progression from Heyoka as a producer with greater use of negative space and ethereal melodies that can only be heard as melancholy or wickedly cheerful.

Music was always, since a little kid, the natural vibration of the world around Siren. At 15 he got really into metal, Metallica, Pantera, Cannibal Corpse, and a lot of the black metal bands found up in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Most of these bands had a really symphonic element to them, if not the electronic elements being the forefront of the music and sound. I started remixing some of out metal songs, putting strings and weird sounds over the music and it all was so fucking fascinating. That kind of led me to where I am now, living in the bay area, making music that I think is influenced by that time and that atmosphere. Live drums, heavy synths, groove, and energy are what I find to be the most fun to make, and the best way to get myself across. Now it’s all about playing my music out live, which has come to be so much fun. There is nothing like rocking a crowd with your own music, and the music you love…hope to see you all at a Siren show, headbanging as hard as me!
