After a short hiatus, Mantra Collective are delighted to share the fourth release from our digital sublabel Pandorea Records. Continuing our focus on local talent, we present a solo EP from Melbourne based Travisty. Travis Barrington was undoubtedly one of our most exciting discoveries of 2020 and it brings us great joy to offer a platform to share his detailed sound.

The four track EP is marked by an infectiously uplifting swing, with all tracks a timely fit for the reopening of dancefloors. Kinetic tones is filled with the same energy the track takes it’s name from. An understated groove sits above warm textures, making way for a euphoric breakdown. Midnight Mistress is an expert display of Travis’ classy yet danceable sound; a deep and dreamy journey that could easily continue beyond its 8 minute run time. Sleep Walking follows, leading with a delicate melody that balances its elegant baseline. Closing the EP Is Waves, the clubbiest cut of the EP. The right amount of bounce is expertly embellished with interesting sampling - one for the body and the mind. A bright release from an equally bright talent, we are so excited to hear more from Travis.

Pandorea 004 is now available for streaming and purchase via the Mantra Collective Bandcamp. Special thank you to Venda for mastering and Ature. for artwork.

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.

Mantra Collective are honoured to present the fifth release from our digital sublabel Pandorea Records from Melbourne based Thomas David. With two impressive contributions to our previous Pandorea releases alongside a standout vinyl release on local imprint Ochre, Thomas David continues to cement himself as one of Australia’s finest minimal producers.

His four track EP is polished with the signature tripped out flavour Thomas David excels at. Cleanly cut details and low slung basslines make for understated tracks primed for dimly lit dancefloors. Embellished with spooky synth lines and propelled by a sludgy bass, Blue Bend is a sludgy after-hours cut reminiscent of the quintessential Australian bush doof. Taking a more rhythmic approach It Happens Always Lately immerses the listener in its rolling groove before seducing with a distorted vocal hook. Long Lost Brother takes a more housey approach, with its tight drum work layered with dreamy and gently swung percussion. Lastly, the psychedelic bounce of Pots + Pans rounds out the EP with its loopy atmospheres and unhinged soundscapes.

A versatile and well rounded release, Pandorea 005 is now available for streaming and purchase via the Mantra Collective Bandcamp. Special thank you to Venda for mastering and Ature. for artwork.

Toguè - Eternal Memory [TAMIRAS06]

Fast becoming America's most auspicious triumvirate of minimal electronic music interpreters, Imbue's sixth enactment on their self-titled imprint, provides a diverse assemblage of sonic deities, which are destined to gratify the ears of both discernible crate diggers and avid ravers alike.

Enriched with enchanting soundscapes that embody the essence of seasonal fulfillment that can only be associated with the Spring bloom, Imbue dig-deep into their musical repertoire to deliver a comprehensive septenary compilation.

The A-side immediately transcends you on an atmospheric, cosmic journey, underpinned by Imbue's signature acoustic sound - a superimposition of live electric guitar and analog synthesizers. As the journey progresses, ubiquitous rolling percussion seamlessly intertwines with discrete fragments of synthetic grooves, evoking an innate sense of serenity.

The B-side continues to enthrall the listener with yet more seismic grooves, conjuring a rhetoric of warm, alfresco beach vibes, synonymous with Imbue's native origins, in Miami, Florida.

A thoroughly consistent and uncompromising selection of entangled rhythms, scales and timbres, Bloom provides a palatable soundtrack, full of joie de vivre. And, as its wonderfully beautiful cover intimates, the record should arrive just in time for summer, and the reopening of our hallowed dance floors.

Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship 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.
