"Mentasm" is a musical composition by Joey Beltram (co-produced with Mundo Muzique). It became iconic within rave culture, as it was the track that gave birth to the "mentasm riff" (also known as the 'Hoover' sound) — a churning, dirge-like synth pattern that wormed into techno's communal genome and has since been mutated and re-used in literally thousands of records. It was pre-empted to an extent by Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva in their Cybersonik project.
