Michael Mayer - Mantasy
Review by Stefan Valianu
Mantasy, the latest album by Michael Mayer, is an impressive display of the German DJ and producer's talent. Released in 2012 on the prestigious Kompakt label, the album features ten tracks that showcase Mayer's signature blend of techno, house, and pop influences.
From the opening track, "Sully," which builds from a sparse beat to a lush, melodic groove, to the closing "Roses," which features Mayer's own vocals over a dreamy, atmospheric backdrop, Mantasy is a masterful journey through the many facets of electronic music.
Along the way, Mayer collaborates with a diverse cast of artists, including Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor on the infectious "Roses," and fellow Kompakt stalwart Jörg Burger on the hypnotic "Voigt Kampff Test."
Despite the varied styles and sounds on display, Mantasy never feels disjointed or unfocused. Mayer's deft touch as a DJ and producer ensures that each track flows seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive listening experience that rewards repeated listens.
