Mandalus is the moniker of Des Foley, an electronic producer, musician and visual artist from Ireland.
During the mid-late 00's, he started Pop Punk band, Mr. Lightweight. In 2009 he was a founding member of Jody Has A Hitlist co writing their first two releases.
After some burnout from performing and having other passions that he wanted to pursue, Des abandoned his journey as a guitarist, but still jammed at home infrequently. A trip to Ibiza in 2017 would inspire a new venture into producing electronic music. The Mandalus project was born with the first release Loading coming in Spring 2019.
"This project started out of a desire to create and produce music again after a long break. Now with a lot more life experience and awareness of other kinds of music, I feel I'm much better equipped to express myself. Mandalus is a means for me to share my personality through music I’ve created, and I aim to expand this project into something bigger over the next decade”
