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.

Info:
In case you felt like losing your mind in self-isolation, Stomping Grounds is back with four cuts to bring back your sanity. This is the first time we're putting together a split EP, shared graciously between Romanian duo Heerd and Ireland's Noah Skelton. Starting off with the acid-edged peak timer "Hellrot", going through the atmospheric depth and hypnoticism of "Kamaals's Groove" and "Persistence", the EP is neatly finished with a healthy "Balance" of rolling hats and percussion.

Shiver [Minimal Groove Concept]

For me, music is more than sound—it is a vessel of memory, resistance, and hope. This track merges electronic elements with a Palestinian lament to embody both pain and endurance. It asks us to reflect on injustice, to feel the weight of loss, and to recognize the power of voices that refuse to be silenced.

► Release Info:

Ranj Kaler makes his exciting full release debut with ‘Our One Love’. 

Something of a household name now for his incredible work ethic, it might come as a surprise to know up until 2020, Ranj was just a working DJ in the heart of London content to play other people’s music. But then upheaval - the pandemic - a time that brought sea change to many of us in the music industry. 

For Ranj, a moment to reflect and to learn new skills - production - which quickly became signed releases for Saturo Sounds, 64K and Four Candles’ Keep Thinking. His fanbase grew. New fans included John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo and from his incredible production style, remixes for Hooj Choons, Liaka Sounds and ARRVL, and bigger and better labels were keen to sign him up. 

Successful collaborations with Norman H on Stripped Digital and Fauxplay on Music To Die For have led to his first solo release of the year, and we are over the moon he’s chosen ASTIR. ‘Our One Love’ is a love note to dance music; an obsession decades in the making distilled into audio. 

In original form, synths soar against a strong percussive bedrock and chunky bass. warm sweeps glisten as icy pads rise in the background revealing intricate sonic detail that glitters in the periphery. Heartfelt and deeply emotional, this is Ranj unencumbered and in full mastery of his skills. 

On remix duties, crowd favourite Silinder makes a welcomed return to the fold honing the emotive elements of the original into his remarkable, unmistakable style, while label head Real Gone Kid takes a break from, uhh, breaks to drop a deep house vibe thick with soul.
