Perfect vibe…❤️‍🔥 Love this track so much ❤️‍🔥

A total of 10 tracks and 11 artists with the one collaboration on the release, ARTCORE Miami Music Week 2025 will be released on Thursday the 3rd April. Whilst welcoming back artists on the VA who have already released on the label including Joel Bird and AD7USTMENT. This release focuses on a lot of new names to both the industry and label.

Ida Engberg needs no introduction, the Swedish producer and DJ began her career, at the age of 13 spinning vinyls. With a residency In Ibiza under her belt, and countless plays for Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Ultra Music Festival and more, she makes her debut on ARTCORE with opening track 'Free Your Mind'. Richly cinematic, meticulously designed and filled with frenetic urgency, the pacy melody soon succumbs to a chilling ambience which settles atop its low-end elements. 

Rising Italian DJ/producer, Giacomo Dianz and his track 'Feel The Sound Around.' A nervous inception that begins with a chattering, panning vocal becomes fraught with brittle snares, jittering cymbals as well as tripped out a chord progression that creeps alongside. 

Andrea Marino -also a member of Germany metal band Emigrate, which no doubt has influenced the use of his stings inspired industrial aggression on his track 'The Plug Pt 2'. Delivering a choice of hard-style flavours, he merges a twisted groove with a distorted vocal presence to add a tough groove to proceedings.

The mysterious and brand-new duo, Sinnerstraxx pay homage to ARTCORE's fanbase with their track 'Warriors'. A sample taken from the cult movie of the same name features heavily within a fervent psy-charged soundscape of twinkling, morphing melodics, and drilling LFO fills to produce an undoubtable club-ready weapon.

A career of 20 years, North Italian producer KAT3X, works with a hybrid DJ set of missing samples, loops and effects with Traktor and Ableton Live or CDJs, permitting him to create different sounds for every set. He has played alongside Chris Liebing, The Advent, Oscar Mulero, Speedy J and many more, plus runs his own label KATEXIS. His track 'Number' is an intriguingly strung-out rhythm that catches your attention from the off thanks to a jack-hammer bass that pummels aside an array of giddy rave motifs. 

AD7USTMENT is on hand with ‘Doberman’. The German producer who has released on labels including Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains, Suara and Odd Recordings. This new track brings the heat, and high-octane energy ARTCORE is known for. A frighteningly fierce composition, it features a rhythmic drive aside complex percussive elements to cause eyeball spinning velocity from beginning to end.

French DJ and head of OIZ Records, Onelas takes no prisoners with his menacing VA effort, 'Vicious Circle.' Following a piercing, drawn-out hoover synth that contorts and coerces itself into the beat comes at hunderous percussion, a disconcerting bleeping and a wave of abstract melodics to cause a state of continuing flux. His latest releases have been featured on NineTimesNine, Reckless, NowNow and Blackworks.

UK duo, Exceed from Manchester and Liverpool have coined their name for their ability to 'go beyond what is allowed or stipulated'. Signing tracks to NineTimesNine, doof, Barbed and Innergate, they make their debut on ARTCORE with 'Revelation'. Delivering a tightly pieced together number which incorporates a stirring synth and bass lead with breaks style percussive fills that rattle, roll and explode sporadically.

Welcoming back Joel Bird to the label, as his last release was on the last Miami VA in 2024, the London based young producer, is also training to be a commercial pilot! His track 'All I See Is Ochre' is a complex piece in which the narrative is told through smart measures of static pulses and blasts of phasers to present a cosmic rush of analogue wonder. With his music supported by KI/KI and Theo Nasa, we couldn't think of a better way to close out this release.

01 Ida Engberg - Free Your Mind (Extended Mix) [ARTCORE Records]

In 2022, Indira Paganotto established ARTCORE with a clear vision in mind. The primary aim behind creating this label was to acknowledge and elevate the unique sound associated with Indira, which, until then, had not found a suitable representation in any existing label. It's widely recognized that this distinctive sound has been gaining rapid popularity and is finally receiving the recognition it rightfully deserves.

However, it's essential to note that ARTCORE will not be confined to a single genre. Instead, the emphasis will be on preserving authenticity and ensuring high-quality musical output. The label will serve as a platform that celebrates artistic expression, relevance, and musical heritage. Also, ARTCORE enables the opportunity for artists to be mentored directly by Indira is at the core of ARTCORE.
