Elektrons proudly introduces another remarkable talent to their ranks for release number 5 – Los Angeles-based artist, MANTi. The Iranian DJ and producer has built a formidable reputation in LA, where she studied Music Production & Sound Design at Point Blank before becoming a party promoter. Behind-the-scenes she worked on refining her craft, while building an international network through her events. This network has provided the opportunity to travel the world and perform at clubs and festivals across Europe, including Kater Blau in Berlin and Fusion Festival. MANTi is an ideal addition to the Elektrons roster, with a creative outlook that is perfectly aligned with the label ethos: her stunning productions are characterised by deep, melodic layers, with a firm focus on atmospherics.

The title cut, ‘Glimpse of You,’ opens this EP, with MANTi demonstrating her emotional intelligence from the off. An undulating low end drives the moody, yet intriguing intro, which leads into a spine-tingling progressive cut. The track builds steadily, with a highly emotive melody and carefully considered moments of tension and release. Straddling the fine line between joy and melancholy.

‘Lost’ emits more of a punchy energy, with sturdy claps and slinky hats driving the percussion. Mesmerizing melodic elements create a spellbinding atmosphere, while MANTi’s arrangement ensures there’s a strong narrative to the composition. A powerful breakdown is the centrepiece of this captivating cut, allowing some breathing space before the track continues to flow.

‘Pieces’ takes things deeper to close out the release. Haunting vocals drift in and out of the background, floating over a dense low end and dreamscape-esque atmospherics. The vocals come to the fore as the track develops, complemented beautifully by highly emotive synth lines and enchanting cosmic elements.

MANTi’s debut on Elektrons represents another key step in the label’s development, with three definitive tracks that galvanize the label’s unique sound. Emotionally astute, rhythmically captivating and melodically enchanting, it’s another special addition to the label’s offering…

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Glimpse of You’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
