Fantomacs-Coverart-Mary

Carry You is Fantomacs’ dance-driven rework of the 2021 original by Rules, written by Maddy Abela and Richard Samuel Smith. Built around the song’s central promise, “If you carry me, I’ll carry you,” this cover keeps the raw honesty of the lyric while lifting it into a modern, pulse-forward production designed for late-night drives and open dancefloors alike.

 

The track balances vulnerability and momentum: a bittersweet storyline of December memories, unfinished goodbyes, and the hope of starting brand new, set against clean, energetic grooves and a soaring hook that stays with you long after the last chorus. It’s a release for anyone who’s tried to pick up the pieces, asked for one more chance, and found strength in meeting someone halfway.

 

A faithful cover in spirit, “Carry You” reframes the emotion in a contemporary dance context, pairing heart-on-sleeve songwriting with a bright, uplifting lift that turns reflection into forward motion.

 

Release Date: 28th February, 2026



Jörg Peters was exposed to the wonders of music at an early age growing up in the city of Berlin which is well known for its thriving music scene for decades. 

 

Immersed in a rich tapestry of diverse genres and styles, Jörg was drawn and influenced by the electronic music movement happening in the city and began to create his own music as a passion project. 

 

Since then, the artist, producer, and composer has released an incredible amount of original music in a vast and eclectic array of styles letting his love to experiment with sound take over. 

 

"When I started making my own music some time ago, I very much appreciated freedom to interpret music and combine different genres. Bands like Steely Dan, Mezzoforte, Fleetwood Mac, Joe Cocker, Al Jarreau, Level 42 - and many more to mention - they all influenced me. When analog synthesizers reached stage, I was immediately fan of their abilities to create new sounds. However, I didn’t like the idea of leaving behind all the well-developed acoustic instruments. Therefore, I love combining all kinds of sounds from different sources, be it traditional synth sounds, modern electronic patches, acoustic sounds or even noises or vocoded voices'" says the artist of his musical evolution and progression.

 

"Carry You" along with a flurry of other releases, is available for streaming and download on all major outlets and Jörg is constantly working on new material for upcoming releases.

Curator / Label Response
Parkett Music Magazine

This release also reflects the broader artistic vision associated with Fantomacs, whose work consistently blurs the lines between electronic precision and soulful expression. Carry You fits naturally within that trajectory, showcasing an understanding of groove, atmosphere, and emotional pacing. It is a high-quality release that demonstrates how electronic and dance music can remain emotionally grounded without sacrificing energy or clarity.

KIMU magazine

The production is mesmerizing, with cerebral astral details, funk-laced riffs, and immersive synths. It is the definition of pop perfection. The track would be perfect for a multitude of sync placements, notably a recent film like 'Kissing is the Easy Part' which perfectly reflects the message and vibe of the cover.

TJPL Magazine

Produced, mixed and mastered by Fantomacs himself, the track reflects his broader sonic identity. His catalogue has long balanced electronic polish with warmth and atmosphere. Influenced by artists across electronic, jazz and ambient spaces, he builds tracks that feel immersive rather than mechanical. That sensibility carries through here. The groove is infectious, yet emotionally intentional. The result is euphoric without being hollow. Dance pop frameworks often prioritise immediacy over depth. Here, both coexist. The vocal line sits comfortably within a contemporary EDM environment, framed by synth pop brightness and subtle cinematic undertones.

WeWriteAboutMusic (WWAM)

At the heart of the song is a simple but powerful promise, one that Fantomacs treats with care. The raw honesty of the lyric remains intact, but it’s now surrounded by clean grooves, luminous synths, and a sense of movement that nudges the story forward. The production has a subtle vintage feel to it, evoking classic dance and pop influences while staying firmly rooted in the present. There’s a lightness to the sound that never feels shallow, allowing bittersweet memories and hopeful momentum to occupy the same space without canceling each other out. If anything, we’d strongly urge you to check out the original to really compare the two.

RAGMAG (Recording Artist Guild Digital Magazine)

This is the kind of song that can easily be on the airwaves of virtually any pop station out there and he utilizes his knowledge of creating sound and tone to make a song that definitely feels good, brings a lot of light-heartedness and fun to that approach, and we recently have come to find out that this is actually a remix of a song released in 2021, originally by Rules ...

The song has a bit of an endearing spirit to it and absolutely speaks volumes for the artist, especially as a producer ...

This whole thing is uber-creative, and when you step into this world, the world of Fantomacs, there's almost no end to it.

"Carry You" traz transições encantadoras, criando um ritmo que balança nosso corpo. Impressiona o baixo nas transições, a suavidade que encontra com o sintetizador que traz diferentes melodias, é uma versão cover que nos eletriza em um ambiente moderno, cheio de luzes, onde tudo pode acontecer em uma noite, onde também pode ser que estamos lembrando de tudo que já aconteceu em uma noite, a faixa que traz um eletro pop autêntico e agita completamente.

 

Translated:

"Carry You" features enchanting transitions, creating a rhythm that moves your body. The bass in the transitions is impressive, the smoothness that meets the synthesizer that brings different melodies. It's a cover version that electrifies us in a modern, brightly lit environment, where anything can happen in one night, where we might also be remembering everything that has already happened in one night. The track brings authentic electro-pop and completely energizes you.

Analyze My Lyrics Fantomacs is the musical project of Joerg Peters, a Berlin-born and Switzerland-based producer, keyboardist, and composer who has gained recognition for his unique blend of electronic, jazz, ambient, funk, and orchestral styles. His music often combines cinematic elements with smooth and infectious grooves, and with "Carry You," Fantomacs again proves himself to be a master at creating music that is both emotionally rich and physically compelling, music that moves the body and speaks to the soul.
FVMusicBlog Rather than treating the cover as a novelty, he rebuilds it with restraint and intent — preserving the song’s core while giving it new physical momentum. The result is a version designed equally for late-night speakers and solitary headphone moments, where movement and meaning exist side by side.
HOS Reccords His music bridges atmosphere and movement, delivering souful electro that feels equally at home in reflective listening sessions and on late-night dancefloors.
MusikePool As a producer, mixer, and mastering engineer on the track, Fantomacs shapes every detail. The sound is polished but not cold. There is space in the arrangement. There is air between the elements. That space allows the emotional weight of the song to breathe. It turns what could have been just another dance release into something with staying power. This single also hints at what is coming next. With distribution through RecordJet in Berlin and ties to his expanding “Berlin Nights” era, Fantomacs is clearly building a larger vision. He is not chasing trends. He is choosing songs that matter to him and rebuilding them with care. Carry You is a reminder that the club can be more than escape. It can be a place where heavy feelings move at full speed. Fantomacs respects the original, but he brings his own voice to it. And in doing so, he turns reflection into motion.
MusoCasa Where the original leaned into raw pop emotion, Fantomacs elevates the feeling with a cinematic sweep, allowing the track to breathe while still keeping bodies moving.
Compigram This song sound good! Great song to include on a special compilation album we are making called: “Modern Restaurant Music Mix, Vol. 7 (Genre Mix For All Ages)”.
HailTunes There’s something quietly fearless about covering a song that already carries emotional weight. With “Carry You,” Fantomacs doesn’t just remix the 2021 original by Rules — he reimagines its heartbeat.
PowerAce Radio (London, UK)

I love the rousing vibe of this track. The vocals harmonise perfectly with the melodic backing track and create a harmonious and pleasant sound. The production is first-class and combines all the elements seamlessly into a successful and captivating listening experience. We are very happy to present this song on **FM (Fresh Music)**, daily at 22:00. Let yourself be carried away by the groove, melody and energy of this track!

The Sounds won't stop

... The synth work across this track is absolutely perfect ... The way the track unfolds is brilliant. It definitely has a great way of building, and as the track plays on, you start hearing other production tricks and additional synths and keys that come into play, adding a little bit more depth to the song in different places ... Later in the track, there's even this fuzz tone sort of keyboard solo that almost feels like a guitar solo. I love that effect. The way he's able to take keys and transform them so that it feels almost like a guitar part was awesome ... One of the things I really adore about this track is the simple fact that it has this mellow sort of calmness in its undertone. It has a sort of smoothness to it. 

 

This is a song that showcases a producer and an artist who's able to take a song and reinvent it. Someone who's able to dynamically balance that energy so that it has the brightness and the warmth, but also still has the smooth sort of dreaminess beneath all of that ... Fantomacs did an incredible job of taking something that he loved and making his own, in a sense.

Good Music Radar

 

The production of the track mixes a lot of elements beautifully. There is funk and electronica which serves as the backbone of the track, and layered synths and beats bring out the intricacies. The vocals lay on top the production, airy and soulful, pulling from personal narratives yet sounding beautifully universal.

 

It is the kind of track you’ll keep coming back to, because hearing it once is not enough.
