Yantra Mandir is the experimental ambient & electronic solo project of Dj and producer The Dude Of Stratosphear aka Jerome Doudet.
Starting in Geneva Switzerland after the final tour of his previous band KNUT in 2012, Yantra Mandir cast a wide net over experimental meditative ambient music, progressive drone, brahmanic accents, and ritual oscillations.
Based in Thailand since 2014, he’s has showcase his live set in clubs like Kawarake (Osaka), Bonobo (Tokyo), 12x12, Jam and Studio Lam (Bangkok), Cafe Mondo (Jakarta) and in festivals like Karma Kastle (Thailand) and Pasar Moon (Japan). He’s now running his own label and record shop on the remote island of Koh Chang, and he’s currently working on his fourth full length album.

The name derives from ancient Sanskrit words emblematic of the overarching sound. Yantra is the Sanskrit word for mystical diagrams found in the Tantric traditions of the Indus Valley. These diagrams are used to worship dieties at home or in temples, as a meditation aid, and to activate the various benefits and occult powers as defined by Hindu astrological and Tantric texts.

Mandir is the Sanskrit word for a place in which a still mind and soul float freely search of life, peace, joy, and comfort. For centuries, the mandir has remained the nexus of a community where people forget their differences and voluntarily unite.

Yantra Mandir is a sonic meeting point between Europe, Southeast Asia, and India — and everything in between from past, present, and future.
