DJ and producer Partenaire has released his first album, a 6-track record for Tripswitch’s label onedotsixtwo. Under the name ‘Modern Mantras’, the release showcases the producer’s multi-directional approach to music, as the journey spans from Liquid drum and base to deeper shade of house and progressive house.

‘The pandemic gave us all a chance to slow down, and maybe more time to listen to ourselves better, more clearly, understand our desires and needs. I think I definitely made the most of it. I found light in the darkness, you know…I balanced it out, found my own rhythm, decided where I wanted to aim for. Basically, I somewhat got my shit together. But for that, I had to dive inside, find my focus. That place where you create and bend reality at will. These tracks gave me a purpose. I don’t know if they saved my life, but they certainly didn’t let me go under. And truth be told, I think a lot of us ravers, clubbers…we go to the clubs and festivals to profess love, we go for the communion of souls. These are OUR mantras. Where we find ourselves’, said Partenaire in an exclusive interview with Electronic Groove.

Tied to the release of the album is the video of the single ‘The Seance’ which was directed by JAROP and produced by Electronic Groove.
