Indian Trap releases single ‘Vishnu Mantra (Mangalam Bhagwan Vishnu)’ with Award-winning Indian artist S. J. Jananiy
Indian Trap (aka J2) is proud to present his latest single, “Vishnu
Mantra (Mangalam Bhagwan Vishnu),” which he co-wrote with Award-
winning South Indian artist S. J. Jananiy. The renowned L.A. producer
collaborated with the Award-Winning Composer & Singer S. J. Jananiy
to create a new sound that combines ancient Sanskrit mantras with
classical Indian vocal techniques and contemporary Trap Music.
The Vishnu Mantra (Mangalam Bhagwan Vishnu) pushes the envelope
as S. J. Jananiy delivers a sublime vocal performance over a hypnotic
beat and melodic synths, Indian temple bells, Flutes and 808 basses.
J2 says – “Listening to the Vishnu mantra fills me with a deep sense of inner
peace and tranquility bringing a calming effect to my mind. It greatly assists
me in gaining clarity and focus in my daily work life”.
He further adds “As a musician, my material is sound,” says Indian Trap. “I’ve always considered myself a sound
designer. When I learned that the Shaivite Hindu tradition believes that matter is vibration and the cosmos
is sound, it got me thinking! We talk about someone having great vibes, don’t we? Don’t we say that some
people vibe well together? These seemingly trivial words have a profound meaning! Mantras are prayers
that ‘vibe’ with the universe. What better lyrics can a composer ask for? Jananiy brought the mantras, and
I brought my music! Three thousand years old mantras that go right to the heart of matter and
contemporary music that has emerged from the streets, from ordinary people… we’re talking about roots!
S. J. Jananiy said – “Working along with Jay for this very special single was highly explorative by fusing the
Vedic Mantras, his Indian Trap music, and the many vocalizations. It got me thinking about how these
Mantras, encased in Trap music and Indian raga-based music, could be performed live, and that got me
curious about those possibilities. This song has at least 30 different vocal layers, along with a unique
collage of taans, aalaaps, swaras, and improvisations that blend beautifully with harmonies for Jay’s
track!”
The song is out now and we are all excited to hear the magical essence of it.
