E-Mantra is Emanuel Carpus from Constanta / Romania
Emanuel started making music around 2000 when he decided to create music under E-Mantra project Hailing from Constanta, a port city on the Black Sea of Romania,
E-Mantra is a seasoned veteran and prolific composer, with several releases on respected labels such as Suntrip and Altar, under a variety of aliases (E-Mantra, Emanuel Carpus, Neurosect, and Night Hex, to name a few). Early on in his career Emanuel was influenced by a wide variety of sounds, including acid, techno, and of course trance, but he’s primarily known for representing Goa Trance and Goachill / psychill / psybient .
E-Mantra is always upping his game with each release, making him one of the most revered and respected producers from Eastern Europe, with several thousand followers on Soundcloud, and excellent reviews over the span of his career.
One of the reasons he’s so popular is he represented Goa Trance at a time when Psytrance was on the upswing, so for fans of the old-school he became a sort of musical saviour. And while he’s moved on to other sounds to satisfy his artistic needs, he still maintains that respect for his roots, all with a polished, modern production that really allows the listener to get into a state of trance.
E-Mantra played during the last 15 years to some big festivals outside his country : Antaris , Boom Utopia , Summer Never Ends, Freqs of Nature , Tree of Life , Lost Theory , Sun Festival,Odyssee to name a few.
During his career he released 9 full Albums and couple of ep’s ,4 Goa Trance-Psytrance and 5 Chillout-Psybient
