In “Ho’oponopono,” Mikey La Luna reclaims the club as a space for healing, and honestly, it’s kinda genius. Borrowing its name from an ancient Hawaiian mantra of reconciliation and forgiveness, the track is anything but passive. This is not your sleepy guided meditation; this is spiritual release at 128 BPM.
From the jump, the track hits with tribal percussion that feels ceremonial, like you’ve stumbled into a moonlit ritual on a beach in Ibiza. But it doesn’t stay in the shadows for long. Soon, Mediterranean strings coil around electric guitar riffs, building a hypnotic tension that feels equal parts ancestral and modern. Mikey’s vocals—textured, urgent, and reverent—don’t overpower the production. Instead, they merge with the beat like smoke through a beam of light, invoking the mantra with emotional weight: forgiveness not as a soft whisper, but a battle cry.

It’s got the heart of a tribal prayer, the muscle of indie electronica, and the polish of something made for international stages. You can lose yourself to it in a club, sure, but it also makes you want to breathe deeper, let go, and maybe even cry on the dancefloor. And somehow, that all feels right.
Mikey’s production is crisp, textured, and confident. The transitions between breakdowns and buildups are smooth but full of intention. And when the strings come back near the end, layered with the pulse of the beat, you feel something open inside. It’s music as medicine. Dancefloor catharsis.
If you’re a fan of artists like Nicolas Jaar, Bonobo, or even early Four Tet, this will hit your sweet spot. But Mikey La Luna isn’t copying anyone. He’s channeling something. This is what spiritual rave music sounds like when it’s done with soul, not gimmicks.
