Indian Trap releases single ‘Durga Mantra (Om Katyayanaya Vidmahe)” with Award-winning Indian artist S. J. Jananiy

Indian Trap (aka J2) is proud to present his latest single, “Durga Mantra (Om Katyayanaya Vidmahe),” 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 Durga Mantra (Om Katyayanaya Vidmahe) 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.

The track is a salute to Maa Durga in her form as Katyayani, the sixth form of Durga. Her divine presence is felt throughout the universe, and she is also worshipped as Kanyakumari. The devotee prays that no matter what name she is called, she is always Durga. Goddess Durga, also known as Shakti or Devi, is the protective mother of the universe and the embodiment of true womanhood. She is known as Durgatinashini, meaning “the one who eliminates suffering.” Like a mother, she deeply loves her children and protects them, nurturing and caring for them, while also destroying their enemies.

S. J. Jananiy shares, “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 track is scheduled to release on 3rd March 2023 and we are quite excited to hear the song and we are sure it is going to be magical.
