Surfacing out of Buenos Aires, one of the world’s Progressive hives, Partenaire has crafted music for some of the genre’s most forward-thinking labels like Juicebox Music, Transpecta, ICONYC, Serendeep, and our beloved onedotsixtwo, which has become a sacred ground for the producer, as he returns to the UK imprint for the fourth time since its inception. Following his appearances in our first two compilations, Tripswitch’s ‘In At The Deep End’ and Gustin’s ‘Synchronicity’, and his acclaimed ‘Convergence’ EP in collaboration with Sebastian Sellares, the Argentine artist is now set to release his biggest creation to date with ‘Modern Mantras’.
A career-defining snapshot of Partenaire’s sound and vision, ‘Modern Mantras’ is a deep journey inside, a quest for inner truth in turbulent times. Born out of isolation, these six tracks provided an anchor and bestowed a sense of purpose upon the producer. A mission, or maybe just vagaries of the mind, the record was created as both the darkness in one’s own tunnel and the light we find at the end of it.
‘Modern Mantra’, track two of, and the inspiration for, Partenaire’s mini-album which the track forms part of, twists and turns over a delectable bassline and sultry percussive patterns while reversed synth stabs and an iridescent arpeggio intertwine to hit that ever-so-sweet spot, leading down to a crystal-clear breakdown where thoughts find a piece of mind. Proper progressive.
