MANTi Returns to Kiosk ID with ‘Numa’ EP

Out now, the dynamic four-track EP follows the success of her Kiosk I.D. label debut with Eureka back in 2024

Twelve months on from the release of her critically acclaimed ‘Eureka’ EP, burgeoning Iranian producer MANTi now returns to Kater Blau’s Kiosk I.D. imprint with ‘Numa’ – a four-track EP that infuses her beautifully textured synth work and chord-crazed nostalgia with an eclectic rigour that transforms her hovering melodics into spaced-out dancefloor weapons.

Opening with the roller of the set, ‘Numa’ weaves a beautiful tapestry of melodic threads – warm saws, dramatic pads and metallic jolts – gradually and anthemically, atop a throbbing carpet of bass and white-noise drums. Enveloped in layers of wondrous pads, the title track tells a vast and dramatic epic within the framework of a crushing dancefloor track.

Up next, ‘Shade’ delivers an eclectic disco-infused groover. Oscillating between dark percussive drum structures, shimmering tambourines, funky guitar plucks and a nasal, spaced-out synth traversing fluidly above an infectious groove, Shade is a system shock, complete with ravey piano stabs and a breakbeat insert; unexpected, cosmic and powerfully musical.

With ‘Halo’, MANTi leans into a playful and exploratory sense of complexity, as found-sound percussion, pitch-shaking synths, piano chord chops and spaced-out vocal effects orbit a steadily hovering tone. Anchored by a relentless bassline, the track oscillates between wild escalation and a stripped-back and effective core.

Closing the EP with ‘Ashes’, MANTi unearths cycling figures of ethnically charged percussive grooves. Cascading chimes, cavernous synth impacts, and a morphing, soothing bass lead unfold a slow-burning roller rich in contrast; warm, spaced-out, drum-centric and heavy in atmosphere.

With ‘Numa’, MANTi delivers a diverse four-tracker that fuses richly textured melodies with – you name it – Disco, Chord House, Breakbeat, or her own brand of percussive and tonal experimentation. With this, ‘Numa’ends up both intimate and expansive; designed for dancefloors, rooted in sonic storytelling, and at the bleeding edge of dance music.

MANTi – Numa EP is out now via Kiosk I.D.
