MANTi Injects a Mesmeric Groove into Nadia Ali’s “New Energy”
Laying claim to an impressive string of high profile releases on some of the scene’s most prominent labels over the past twelve months, rising underground talent MANTi now returns with a spellbinding remix of Nadia Ali’s New Energy, out now on Smile In Bed Music.
When Nadia Ali made her long-awaited solo return with New Energy back in January, it was more than just a song—it was a statement. With this latest remix, MANTi takes that statement and spins it into a hypnotic, ethereal masterpiece, as only she knows how. Renowned for her deep, hypnotic soundscapes and avant-garde approach to melodic techno, the Iranian-born, LA-based producer leads Nadia’s original into new waters, as she layers pulsating basslines, rich synth textures and atmospheric vocal manipulation, to deliver a remix that is both emotionally resonant and primed for the dancefloor.
A name that’s been bubbling at the forefront of the melodic techno scene, MANTi has been turning heads over the past few years with her distinctively raw, atmospheric productions. DJ Mag and Beatportal have already labelled her one to watch, while her releases on labels like Zamna, Automatik, Marginalia, Elektrons and Kiosk ID (amongst others) continue to earn spots in Beatport’s Best New Melodic House & Techno charts.
For those who grew up on the unmistakable voice of Nadia Ali, from Rapture to now, this remix serves as a bridge between nostalgia and the future. The Grammy-nominated singer’s original track was a bold return, entirely self-produced, and an invitation for artists to reimagine her sound. MANTi has taken up that challenge with effortless finesse, weaving Ali’s iconic vocals into a vibrant, melodic journey with her unique sonic fingerprint. If New Energy is the rebirth of Nadia Ali, then MANTi’s remix is the after-dark, late-night embodiment of that transformation.
Nadia Ali – New Energy (MANTi Remix) is out now via Smile In Bed Music.
