Premiere: Valentinø - Baba Baby [ARTCORE Records]

Valentinø - Ayacor
Released on GALACTICA REC on April 20,2024

Valentinø - Ayacor

One of the many attributes which add to the ongoing success of ARTCORE Records is the exceptional talents of the label’s roster. Since Indira Paganotto launched her boundary pushing imprint in 2022, a host of DJs/producers from different backgrounds have lined up aside each other at ARTCORE shows around the globe whilst also representing via myriad singles, EPs and VA releases. Whilst they may hail from a contrast of cultures, all of those that feature share the same intense drive and burning passion as Paganotto herself.
 
Indira is cuing up the second ARTCORE DUO release of 2025. Remaining true to the fresh format of featuring two separate artists on one EP, Indira has re-enlisted the services of two label favourites for its next dual release. Welcoming back Belgium’s Marhu, whose wonderfully eclectic debut ‘Bhajan’ EP landed last September, as well as Italy’s Valentinø, who returns following his ‘Space Travel’ contribution on ARTCORE OffSonar VA Vol.2.
 
Valentinø’s ‘Time To Change The Moment’, opens the release with a cinematic vocal monologue, it rumbles with an ominous urgency made all the more tense by its array of moody melodics, volatile drums rolls and piercing synth components which merge to form a surging beat that gallops relentlessly to until its close.
 
‘Vida Loka’ from Belgian producer Marhu, delivers blistering energy from the outset, its momentum swinging back and forth jolting between a fantastically peculiar lead melody and the more assertive percussive components which underpin it. Outlandish in its execution, the surreal mix of overtones on offer are then bound together by the tracks duelling vocals.
 
Valentinø’s ‘Hiss’ is next to emerge and does so somewhat grandiosely. Rising amidst a gaseous haze of hissing effects, the core of the rhythm combines descending and ascending synth notes that chime aside an eccentric whistling chorus, revving bassline and a sultry vocal arrangement.
 
‘Feeling Golden’ tears through a sequence of sound textures before arriving at the chorus - a delightful duet of contrasting vocal tones. Following this climactic rush of hardstyle influences. Marhu employs a dynamic series of fleeting rave stabs, surging pad effects, and a distortion of chiming harmonics before closing out a killer new release.

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.

Release: 13th June 2025

With unrelenting energy and a unique sound, Berlin-based powerhouse A.D.H.S. unveils his latest statement in sound: the In The Dark EP, released on Amelie Lens’ EXHALE imprint. Known for fusing 90s rave spirit with cutting-edge techno, A.D.H.S. brings both his signature drive and a new vocal-forward dimension to this standout three-tracker.

The title track 'In The Dark' is a brooding, high-intensity cut that pulses with raw tension and hypnotic vocal lines. It’s a peak-time weapon built to ignite underground dancefloors with its tightly coiled rhythms and dark, euphoric edge. 'Maxed Out' is a high-voltage single that pushes his rave-infused sound even further. Inflected with gritty vocal chops and thunderous drops, it showcases A.D.H.S.’s ability to blend emotional intensity with industrial force. The EP is rounded off by a remix from Aida Arko, one of techno’s most exciting rising names. Her rework of 'In The Dark' strips the original down to its essence and rebuilds it as a deep, rolling journey – subtly melodic yet unrelentingly fierce.

Kurt Heisz - Galactic Overload (Original Mix)

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.

Abyss a five part instrumental descent where body and machine fuse. Each track, named after a fallen angel, Is a invocation from the dance floor to the darkroom.

Built on dense percussion, distortion, and erotic restraint, this EP explores desire as both violence and devotion. No words, no light, only rhythm, sex, and sweat.

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.
