Riding a wave of international acclaim following her blistering three-track EP debut on Automatik back in August (‘My Way’), LA-based Iranian producer and NXT founder MANTi now makes her return to Henri Bergmann’s esteemed London imprint with her eagerly anticipated follow up single ‘Redemption’.
Out now, as part of Automatik’s Interstellar VA II compilation, the new single is the latest offering in a string of hard-hitting releases from the California-based artist over the past twelve months; a year which has seen her exponentially expand her global appeal with some remarkable output on the likes of Zamna, KIOSK ID, Elektrons, Akumandra, Marginalia, Black Rose, Motivant, Sequence, Natura Viva, Ear Porn and Amaeo.
A powerful and emotionally charged production, backboned by industrial synth structures, swirling pads and a heady blend of pulsating four-four rhythms, Mana’s trademark amalgam of trippy and tenacious club music shines front and center across ‘Redemption’, as she pulls out all the stops with yet another majestic peak time weapon.
“Returning to Automatik with ‘Redemption’ feels like coming full circle for me this year,” MANTi shared. “This track represents a journey through struggle and resilience, channeling the amazing energy and support I’ve been building the past twelve months. “I’m thrilled to be part of Automatik’s Interstellar VA II alongside so many inspiring artists and I can’t wait for listeners to experience this release on the dancefloor.”
Touted by DJ Mag and Beatportal as one of the most hyped artists of the summer, and with her releases consistently making their way into Beatport’s Best New Melodic House and Techno Charts, Mana Nabati – aka MANTi – is fast becoming one of the most exciting rising talents on the underground circuit. Crafting a unique and distinctive sound palette through an immersive education in Music Production and Sound Design at Point Blank Music School in LA, MANTi’s sonic journey is characterized by deep, melodic and atmospheric compositions that champion resonant basslines and vibrant synth work; her work gracing leading labels including Zamna, Automatik, Kiosk ID, Elektrons, Marginalia, LSF21+, Borders of Light, Einmusika and Akumandra, amongst others.
Purveying an avant-garde sound project, injected with deep musicality and raw, stripped-back minimalism, MANTi has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry over the course of his career, performing alongside the likes of Cirez D, John Digweed, Adriatique, Mathame, Kevin de Vries, Woo York and many more. Making her festival debut at Dreamfields Mexico in 2022, she has since caught the attention of audiences worldwide, leading her to grace the DJ booths of some of the world’s most renowned venues and festivals, including Berlin’s iconic Kater Blau and Germany’s Fusion Festival. Looking forward, with confirmed performances at the likes of BPM and SXM festival in early 2025 and brand new releases already penned for Zamna, Marginalia, Automatik and Innuendo, to name a few, there seems to be no slowing the inexorable drive of MANTi, as she looks to leave her indelible mark on the global house and techno scene.
