about

Mantra Collective are pleased to announce the second release on Pandora records: a sublabel focussed on celebrating Australian artists creating club oriented minimal music.

Pandorea 002 host a new cast of rising and established Australians each with a diverse sound that in its own way is closely aligned with Mantra Collective. The EP features music from Melbourne’s Michaelis, Mimm and Niko Maxen, in addition to Sydney’s Tom Truban. Mastering by Venda and Artwork by Ature.

Mantra Collective would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the stolen land traditionally belonging to the peoples of the Eora Nation and the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to their elders past, and present and emerging.

The four track Various Artist release features a diverse selection of groove-driven club music as each artist’s own personality shines through. In ‘Wim’s Groove’, Michaelis presents a captivating take on rolling tech. Layering ethereal vocals and faint melodies atop a pulsating low end creates an infectious atmosphere, perfectly made for DJ use. Leaning more towards the deeper end of the spectrum, Mimm’s Metamorphe’ has all the hallmarks of warm, dub-drenched minimal. It pairs glistening synth work with a chugging drum pattern, creating moments of tension and release with effortlessness.

Reduced but rich in detail, Niko Maxen’s after-hours leaning ‘Constant Speed’ showcases the artist’s darker flair. Borrowing from the distinctively hypnotic Romanian leaning sound, Glitchy vocals and squelchy percussion bounce through a spooky synth melody as the track slowly envelopes the listener in its otherworldly feeling. Rounding out the EP, is Tom Truban’s ‘Apogee’: a reduced deep house cut that oozes class. With an airtight groove and bright, crisp percussion, Truban gives a masterclass in creating timeless, understated dance music.

Pandorea 002 is now available for streaming and purchase via the Mantra Collective bandcamp. Thank you for supporting Australian artists.

Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relation to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the chakras and the human psyche.
