Mesmer

Hailing from Bucharest, Romania, 26 year old Mesmer has been involved in the ever growing breakbeat scene in Romania since 1996. His style is a tight blend of psychedelic, electro and funk induced sounds.

Mesmer first gained regional recognition in 1998 when he took home first prize in the Electronic Music Division of the New Talent Festival held by Assos Music, a national music competition.

Soon after, he began fielding requests to DJ at major festivals throughout the country. He also began expanding his reach into the production side of music and took to building his studio. The labels Roton and Skills Recordings were the first to sign his material in 2004. Since then hes received remix assignments from local artists Vali Barbulescu and Activ. He continues pounding out original works on a weekly basis.

He has a side project with fellow Romanian producer, Adeser. They go by the name of Thrillaz. Look for a release to drop in the next few months.

Mesmer is now recognised as being one of the breakbeat pioneers in Romania, managing to create his own recognisable style of a tight blend of psychedelic, electro and funk induced sounds

And the reason for a Romanian breakbeat artist to be repeatedly tagged "Finnish" is that Mesmer is also a psychedelic rock band from the aforementioned country. Something probably should be done to this confusing artist page. Are the representatives of the other Mesmer(s) active around here?
