No Light Theory

Gracias a la Vida

Released on 22nd April, Indira’s next big release, the 3rd of her own to grace ARTCORE is a trance-tinged techno offering, that's had plenty of dancefloor approval.

Indira Paganotto and her ARTCORE imprint stand out from the crowd with an exponential sense of uniqueness, front-running pioneers of the new Psy-influenced techno boom. Indira’s upcoming release ‘Gypsy Queen’ is another perfect example of how she has garnered so much love and support for her unique vibe and ethos to date.

Title track ‘Gipsy Queen’ begins in eccentric fashion. A gentle strumming of flamenco guitar lines, a distorted chorus of castanets and an enchanting vocal open the track to remain a key feature throughout waves of razor-sharp synths and hurtling drums sequences. The dips in pace are beautifully accompanied by the stirring vocals but before long the flamenco
influences are overrun by the trance-tinged techno Indira is famous for.

The out of body like energy summoned by the strings and haunting effects of ‘Vendetta’ offer a different audio experience to that offered by the EP’s title track. With a visceral intensity that becomes more acute following each drop there are several curious effects and tones at play to make for a somewhat dramatic techno heavy melody.

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.

[PREMIERE] Giorgia Angiuli - Warriors Of Light (Extended Edit)

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.

🌸 Signal Bloom

A whisper becomes a wave. A pulse becomes a petal.

This track captures the moment a signal blossoms — when latent energy unfurls into vibrant motion. Soft pads swell like opening petals, while melodic fragments rise and intertwine like vines reaching for light. It’s graceful, radiant, and alive — a sonic metaphor for growth, emergence, and the beauty of becoming.

The bloom isn’t sudden. It’s encoded in every frequency.

🎧 Let it unfold. Feel the flourish.

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.
