When two masters of emotive, driving dance music collide, the result can be electrifying — and Mantra by Laura van Dam and KhoMha is proof. Released on Amsterdam’s taste-making melodic and techno label Epic247 Recordings, this 128 BPM journey bridges the gap between melodic house and progressive trance, delivering a powerful anthem that’s both spiritually charged and sonically infectious.
Dutch rising star Laura van Dam has been steadily crafting her name into the melodic house and trance scene with her signature blend of progressive emotion and dancefloor energy. Her sets on A State of Trance Festival Rotterdam and upcoming appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Parookaville, and Mysteryland mark her as one of the genre’s most exciting live performers. Her Capture EP vol. 2, due in late summer 2025, is set to cement her status as a serious creative force, and Mantra is the bold opening statement.
On the other side of this collaboration stands KhoMha, Colombia’s finest export in trance and progressive. Known for his high-octane sets and productions that blur the lines between melodic beauty and raw energy, KhoMha adds depth and pulse to Mantra, providing the perfect balance of drive and introspection.
From the very first notes, Mantra unfolds like a meditation in motion. Ethereal pads and hypnotic arps lay a lush foundation, while a tension-building groove gradually pulls the listener into a transcendental state. There’s a spiritual undertone to this track — not just in the title, but in the way it guides the listener through emotional peaks and grounded breakdowns.
The track’s artwork features the Black Tourmaline, a crystal symbolizing protection, emotional stability, and grounding. This aligns perfectly with the song’s sonic identity — Mantra is not just a club track; it’s a ritual. Designed by Jeroen Vos, who previously worked on Tiësto’s Elements of Life, the visual concept adds a deeper artistic layer to the project.
Already a highlight in Laura’s live sets, Mantra feels made for wide-open festival spaces and massive LED-lit stages, yet it retains an intimacy that will speak to individual listeners on a more personal level. It’s one of those rare tracks that works just as well in your headphones as it does at the front of the crowd.
⭐️ Rating: 9/10
🎧 Perfect for:
- Late-night festival sets
- Deep introspective drives

Mantra is more than just a standout collaboration — it’s a statement piece from two artists in creative synergy. It anchors emotion with rhythm, blends grounded energy with soaring ambition, and sets a strong tone for what’s to come from Laura van Dam’s Capture EP Vol. 2.
