REVIEW: Michael Feiner - Mantra (Axwell Cut) out on Axtone/ WePLAY/ Warner Music

9.9

Overall Score

We’re charging into Spring 2016 with the instantly recognisable ‘Mantra’ from Swedish producer Michael Feiner, in the exclusive Axwell Cut. Fans of Axwell and Axtone will welcome Feiner’s return as his 2005 House classic ‘Together’, alongside Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso, was the first ever release on Axtone Records.

A multi-talented musician, Feiner takes on lead production duties and strikes a perfect harmony between the festival and club circuits; as demonstrated by Axwell Λ Ingrosso throughout their Ushuaia, Ibiza residency. With undeniably alluring flutes and stomping drums, ‘Mantra’ is a record guaranteed to turn heads throughout this summer!

Summary

Axwell delivers his own version on the magnificent Mantra that is absolutely explosive anthem with big brooding basslines, pounding tribal drums and excellent application of the very good flute melody that works perfect to awake your senses and make you clap and raise your hands instantly. This is mainstage festival anthem for sure. Love it
