Indira Paganotto - Angels Never Die (Original Mix)

Released on 26th October, ‘Dissociaxion’ fuses Interactive Noise’s signature progressive and psy-trance vibe with ARCTORE’s gritty, sinister sonics across two huge peak-time cuts…

Hugo Venegas, also known as Interactive Noise, has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since 2007, significantly impacting the global progressive trance scene through several influential studio albums and continuous performances at renowned festivals and club spaces. Bringing his seamless blend of electronic sounds, including progressive house, techno, and minimal elements, Interactive Noise is primed to debut on Indira Paganotto’s increasingly popular ARTCORE imprint this October with an impressive two-track release titled ‘Dissociaxion’.

‘The Punisher’ feat. Lil Jorck quickly dives into the release’s flow of driving grooves and riveting musicality. A combination of thick kicks, potent bass notes and fizzing percussive energy lead the way through a series of climatic peaks and atmospheric troughs, all characterised by an ominous vocal topliner.

The second of two tracks with a cinematic entrance, is ‘Where Is My Mind’. It’s an impressive scene-setting record with a vast array of attention-grabbing elements. Its onslaught of highoctane minimalist psytrance beats provides the perfect platform for a continually warping arrangement of rave-inspired instruments and broken robotic vocals to carve out a special mainstage weapon.

There's no stopping globe-trotting PSYMAMA Indira Paganotto at present. With her ARTCORE event series drawing sell-out crowds across Europe, fans of her atomic blend of psy trance and techno - to which she lovingly refers to as her WARRIORS - have been treated to a myriad of special releases over the last 12 months. After ARTCORE's triumphant label showcase at Barcelona's majestic Castell De Ben Viure, Indira Paganotto announces 'Part 2' of the labels OffSónar VA to be released on 4th July. As the successor to Part.1, the latest VA is yet another collection of robust, diverse, and high-octane electronic tracks featuring 10 exhilarating compositions.

Leading the charge is Interactive Noise. As one of the more senior figures on the VA, the pioneering Mexican producer and live artist sets a high bar early on. His track 'Ninja World' opens with simmering strings and phasing hat effects to a soul-stirring melody shadowed by chanting vocals. ARTCORE affiliate and founder of Overtime Recordings, Valentinø takes the hardstyle reigns of the VA's opener and sets out on an alternative psychedelic path on 'Space Travel'. Blurring razor-edged synth, penetrating bass and warping overtones the Italian producer injects a serious of 'risers' late on to further develop the track's aerospace theme. 

Short, sharp and punchy bursts of bass kickstart Sumia's 'On The Road', with the young Istanbul native weaving raw, industrialised drum claps, coarse 'rewind' and her own vocal samples to make for a slightly tumultuous but ultimately compelling composition. An endearing quality of any ARTCORE VA is Indira's willingness to include established names alongside rising talent, with a prime example being Spain's Ramiro Lopez. The Odd Recordings head, a household name for techno fans the world over, begins 'What U Want' with a playful vocal that morphs into something considerably darker when met with a jack hammer bass and fierce, brain-shaking percussion. 

Thundering into its second half, is the young Void Milano resident R.Korner, who steps up with  'Hell Flags', a hypersonic trance spliced techno effort featuring a curios vocal borrowed from  hardcore rapper Comethazine. Barcelona's Flug, who is infamous for his concrete-like techno  offerings, enters with a rampaging, battering ram of a track titled 'Racing Cars' that features a  shuddering onslaught of 'warning sign' worthy percussion along with vocals from Liz McFarland.  The unsettling vocal samples continue on Queen from AD7USMENT with tightly woven drum  patterns, jungle-leaning breakdowns and acidic hi-hats at its core. The beat takes a peculiar turn late on before reverting back to type. It's a track made unquestionably in the image of its enigmatic German creator. 

The trio of Lørenzø Cøluccia, K4rm3 & IN6N unite on '222' to concoct an unrestrained bass tremor that arrives at its rather regal-mid-point only to crash back into the fire and brimstone of the track's latter stages to a chorus of hellish screams and tense pulsing pads. There's no shelter to be had for those of a nervous disposition when the release chugs towards its final track. Akoriz, who hails from Rome, delivers a sonic amalgamation of styles on 'My Ask' brazenly merging hard-dance codes and admirably succeeding. In the final act of this ARTCORE thriller, Mindstripes presents 'Bipolar Monk'. An uncompromising beat that truly lives up to its name with juddering, jittering basslines, lute-like strumming and menacing monastic vocals.

MARHU's first EP to be released on the 26th September draws inspiration from Japanese and Indian instruments, blended with Psy-Trance for a truly unique release. 

Whilst growing up in Brussels, MARHU would regularly attend long-standing clubbing institution, Fuse. Citing the seminal electronic music venue as the catalyst to her discovering the sound she deals in today. Once her musical calling came, she departed from her career as a horse rider after studying music production at the esteemed SAE School of Music in Brussels. 

Never one to rest on her laurels, MARHU amped up her already unrelenting work rate and seized her opportunity to press forward. With a back catalogue that now includes stand out releases on Fe Chrome, Arkhum Audio, HE.SHE.THEY and Electric Ballroom - plus notable performances at festivals such as I Love Techno, Extrema Outdoor, Dour Festival, Deviate Festival, Bricks Festival and Love Parade the Belgian starlet is now a member of Indira Paganotto's travelling band of ARTCORE showcase residents.

Debuting on ARTCORE OFFSónar 2024 Vol.1 earlier this with year 'Bansuri', MARHU will drop her Bhajan EP on September 26th via ARTCORE Records. Lead track 'Bhajan' enters with a short, enchanting vocal prior to the introduction of galloping, frenzied bass notes, glitch effects and rave-motifs only to then simmer down and plateau to make way for a patchwork of beautiful middle eastern vocals that remain a constant across this evocative 3-track debut, plus a creative DJ Tool.

When the brooding introduction on 'Shringara' slows a wave of psy-imbued euphoria hits steering the pacy melody and turbo charged vocal lines through alternating measures of hard-style percussion, middle eastern woodwind effects and soaring techno musicality. 'Himari' offers up an unrelenting pallet of quick-fire drumming and oscillating baseline with a side of breaks, hoover effects and even more gloriously delivered ancient, ambient vocal lines that ease this pummelling composition to a close. 

To finish this deeply vivid EP, she delivers a DJ Tool in the form of 'Michi' where she integrates the mesmerising wood wind of the mizmar, an Egyptian wind instrument found in middle eastern music.

ARTCORE Records continues to carve a niche sound, their own trademark genre of Psy-Techno, with a string of chart topping releases whether in VA format, solo EP’s, singles or the creative new DUO release format. Two of the label strong female artists return this April, for a 4 track EP from Giorgia Angiuli and BEC.

Giorgia Angiuli’s has been an evergreen presence on the global live circuit for over a decade. With a style that’s shaped by her history as a professional composer and multi-instrumentalist, Angiuli’s perception of the ARTCORE template brings her back for her third outing and to follow up on her 2024 VA contribution ‘Rising’.

BEC’s remarkable rise within the electronic dance world is the result of tenacity and talent. She was head hunted early in her career and has since featured her music on labels including Nina Kraviz’s Trip, SPFDJ’s Intrepid Skin and BPitch, plus her own label EMBARGO, a label she launched with a debut collaboration with KiNK. The Berlin based DJ returns to ARTCORE for the first time since her single in 2024 was featured on one of the labels VA’s.

The EP opens with Giorgia Angiuli’s ‘We Dream in the Same Language’ which employs warm vocals across frenetic dance stabs and mechanicalized break downs. As unrestrained drums beat ceaselessly, zipping effects and metallic flowing synths flicker to see out the EP with a sound that perfectly blends a mix of hard, European dance styles.

Bouncing bass and starry melodics broaden the EP’s sonic appeal on BEC’s ‘Cherry Dagger’. A gliding melody that punches and swirls in unison with wavey overtones helps to define this rave imbued track that ebbs and flows amidst skittering cymbals and volatile, tremolo effects.

BEC and Giorgia Angiuli unite on ‘Seeker’, combining their faultless studio chops together for the first time. Unsettling and stirring, the pair work in tandem to unleash a dancefloor monster cast from an orchestra of apocalyptic low-end elements - such as a ponderous baritone bass and low-pitched ceremonial drumming. The track’s end-of-days-like narrative is accentuated further by swerving vehicle effects and drones that ominously hover atop the beat.

Giorgia Angiuli’s ‘Warriors of Light’ delivers a celestial mix of trance-like ambiences that are underpinned by a linear techno pattern. Sliced, monastic vocals chant as slews of menacing riffs rain down across a reverberating soundscape of shuddering bass, thunderous claps, and intoxicating grooves.

A rumbling euphony of pace-setting melodies triggers the beginning of BEC’s ‘Loca Mania’ in unapologetic style. Choppy percussion, howling sirens and liquidised synths add a dystopian texture to a composition which barrels through jittery rhythm sections with no remorse aside a pair of sporadically dotted vocal components.

Lilly Palmer - Hare Ram (MORE ALEX REMIX)

Album (Rise Beyond the Sky) is a genre of electronic dance music known for its emotional depth, hypnotic rhythms, and euphoric melodies. Built around driving 4/4 beats, atmospheric pads, and uplifting synths, trance takes listeners on a journey through sound — a journey of energy, emotion, and transcendence.

Typically ranging between 125 and 145 BPM, trance music blends elements of techno, house, and ambient, creating a powerful yet melodic experience that connects both body and mind. Its repetitive structure and gradual build-ups lead to euphoric drops that evoke a sense of release, unity, and freedom.

Trance isn’t just music — it’s an experience. It’s the sound of rising above, losing yourself in rhythm, and finding peace within motion. Whether you’re on a festival dance floor or lost in headphones under the stars, trance invites you to drift beyond time and space.

Motion

“I’m preparing for war, and need to confront my deepest enemy.
I don’t know when or how, but I need to be prepared.
Stop making excuses.
Only you have power over yourself.
Only you can figure it out.
No more mind control, no more obligations, just you and your soul, just you and your demons, on the way back home.
Getting some perspective, conquering what you can control, accepting what you can’t, and then getting on with it.
That’s discipline.”

FlokiOnTheBoat - DISCIPLINE (NINETOZERO open call)

You are Dead Wrong

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.
