Throughout 2024, Indira Paganotto’s game-changing label, ARTCORE Records dominated the electronic dance landscape. Aside from a trio of ground-breaking 2-part VAs plus numerous singles and EPs to further establish ARTCORE as a leading force in contemporary techno, the Psy-mama also took the label around the globe selling out shows across Europe, South America and Asia.

The monumental output of music ARTCORE has delivered since launching in 2022 is nothing short of astounding - and 2025 looks to be no different. For the first release of the new year, they venture into new territory, with a double EP format, from two different artists. Calling back Mexico’s Interactive Noise, after he released a collaboration EP ‘Dissociaxion’ in 2023, and his single ‘Ninja World’ on their OFF Sonar VA in 2024, merged with a single from ARTCORE newbies, the Brazilian duo Avan7 & Becker.

Interactive Noise opens the EP with ‘Tokyo Core’ it comes with a wave of trance-imfused bass stabs, orchestral fills, and ominous pads, to cultivate a moody yet euphoric atmosphere full of tension that grows with intensity as the beat develops.

Avan7 & Becker’s ARTCORE debut with ‘Meru’ kicks off with a rasping, guttural vocal sample reminiscent of an Aboriginal call. When the beat begins to rumble by way of fierce grooves and metallic synths, there’s a glorious clash of aesthetics when the tribal-like ambience felt at the offset is met head-on by ethereal melodics and cosmic, fast-paced percussion.

To round off the EP, Interactive Noise returns with ‘Warrior Inside Me’ which leads with an anime vocal sample in which the rhythm snugly intwines around. Climactic and stirring from the off, the melody melds galloping percussive elements and laser-strobe shots with marching string arrangements to close the release in a truly epic manner.

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.
