A powerful bass-driven groove, a house bomb that also matches the synth palette to brighten up the floor! The long-awaited third installment of alternative dance pioneer FANTASTIC MAN's "THE AXIS OF PEOPLE" has arrived. In a departure from the trance sound he has been pursuing for the past few years, FANTASTIC MAN takes a house approach to this much talked about work, while still maintaining the fantastic and heavy chords.
FANTASTIC MAN, who has participated in various labels such as LOVE ON THE ROCKS, LET'S PLAY HOUSE, and MULE MUSIQ, has established his own new platform, THE AXIS OF PEOPLE, for his first release in 2026. The AXIS OF PEOPLE! The deep house "Be There" (sample 1), with its silky synth refrain layered over the elastic and cohesive bass, introduces melody-making that leaves a lasting impression on the listener. The Latin percussive drums and cowbells titillate pleasantly on "A Little Bit More" (sample 2), and the essence of modern trance, which he has been exploring on his own in recent years, is extracted and transformed into a sound with strong house overtones.
