Peak-Time Techno

Mad technoooo

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.

Amelie Lens' trailblazing brand EXHALE presents the label's fourth compilation, introducing a new wave of stand-out techno producers to the label. The EXHALE label and party series have skyrocketed over recent years, hosting only the best in fresh new talent and pioneering producers. 

Kickstarting the compilation is resident AIROD with the raucous track 'Nemesis': straight drum arrangements and frantic claps are accompanied by spiking synths that haunt this track, with a dark and booming breakdown injecting even more ferocity midway. Following is Joey Risdon with 'LSD Reaction', a fast-paced, gritty techno stomper with industrial elements, while Vizionn takes us on a futuristic journey with robotic vocals and high-energy keys in 'Future Energy'. Tigerhead hits us with the celestial and booming 'Looking Glass', keeping the pace up with a rolling cut, while The Blackmailer follows with 'The Queen Has Arrived' - giving a nod to rap royalty with this twisted techno hit featuring a sinister, electrifying riff. 

Exhale resident Farrago teams up with Part Time Killer for 'The Keymaster‘, a strong, driving track with electric atmospherics and a slick, hypnotizing sample. Rudosa & Blicz's synergy as producers is felt with beautiful composition 'Split Your Love', a change of pace with a sharp, euphoric melody. ACOR comes next with 'Eat Sleep Rave Repeat', the perfect peak-time warehouse energy booster, with the title commanding listeners throughout. Flour takes charge with 'Invasion', easing into proceedings with an ethereal bleating choir, before racing synths take over and turn this into a vigorous weapon. Caravel drives on with 'Echoes Of You', keeping up the momentum with a frantic kick & hi-hat combo laced with yearning cries throughout. 

On the flip is DLV with 'Der Pakt', a heaving cut armed with an insidious synth-line made for epic peak-time moments on the dance floor. Nineted scales back with 'Euphoric Expression', initially presenting arcade-like melodies before throwing in twinkling keys and a ferocious kick drum. Next, Carla Schmitt dives back in with her contribution 'Red Ambition', firing fiendish and growling elements over the booming bass and rhythmic kick to create a mischievous energy. Chemtrailz is up next with 'The Future Is Matriarchy', a trancey expedition with enticing vocals and high-pitched strikes. Rounding off is WarinD with 'Techno Memories', a heaving yet grooving track with a deep, dark techno synth that wavers throughout.

Release: 26th July 2024

It’s almost impossible to believe that a label with so much international notoriety is still within its first ten releases. Still, Belgian Techno protagonist Amelie Lens’ EXHALE imprint is set to make even more noise with its ninth release. Following a spate of well-received singles from Amelie and the latest offering from fellow Antwerp native BYØRN, EXHALE prepares itself for an impressive fifth VA, featuring 14 selected cuts from 16 artists in total. A slew of internationally recognised names and rising new-age talent, welcoming back some familiar faces alongside some debutants, including two collaboration tracks.

Led by Amelie Lens’ ‘Underneath The Strobelights’, featuring her trademark vocals she paves the way for EXHALE VA005. Fellow Antwerp local NOVAH debuts on the label, after her notable b2b sets with BYØRN of late, her track ‘Inner Odyssey’ is followed by VENTUR’s ‘Let It Kick’, a track that lives up to its name. Young Irishman Luciid also makes his first appearance with the epic cut ‘Era Of Us’. BYØRN is back with another massive offering in ‘Our Destiny’, followed by SWART, who also returns with ‘Extazy’ a hard hitting pacy vocal peak timer. Teletech resident Alex Farell makes his debut alongside Farrago, in their first collab together on ‘All Systems Go’, with its spoken vocals and pummelling bass, before French producer ARDL at just 21 debuts with ‘Hyperactive’, with his focus on raw sounding techno.

Another duo of back-to-back debuts sees the elusive FLKN drop ‘Rumble’, influenced by 303 sounds, he makes things dark and distorted. UK-based Aaron Hibell with the vampiric ‘1999’, its bouncy fast bass it makes it the grooviest techno track of the VA. Berliner Afem Syko’s known for his unpredictable, vibrant sets offer his track ‘Slingshot’, backed up by returning American powerhouse and Terra Novae label founder Chemtrailz who become loved for his trance-inducing techno hybrid sound, teams up alongside Hani with their track ‘Goddessblood’. Italy’s Rian Wood comes in hot with penultimate cut ‘Anima’, as he expresses his passion for music through hard techno, neo rave and old school influences. Closing off the colossal VA is French talent, La Kajofol who recently released on ARTCORE. She seals the release with the irresistibly signature ‘Black Rhapsody’. Her music brings a unique style of her own which she calls ‘Mystical Techno’, infusing hypnotism into psytrance and techno with her eerie vocals.

Championing the diversity of the modern-day techno paradigm, EXHALE’s latest VA dips its toe into a myriad of genres, with nods to psytrance, breakbeat, hardstyle, classical and even drum & bass across thirteen freakishly heavy dancefloor-primed stompers. It’s everything you’d want from a release that showcases artistry in its simplest form.

Indira Paganotto is an unstoppable force in the music industry right now. After a killer 8-week summer residency at Amnesia in Ibiza for Metamorfosi, with a weekly line up curated by Indira, she took ARTCORE around the world, as the label expands at a rapid rate with a global tour spanning into the first part of 2025.

ARTCORE's presence at ADE was unavoidable, with their brand takeover of the X BANK store for their new winter merchandise launch, it only makes sense they return with a  colossal new VA release in November. A total of 20 tracks and 23 artists, ARTCORE ADE 2025 Vol.1 will be released on the 7th November.

Whilst ARTCORE welcome back artists on the VA who have already released on the label  including ZESHIN, Giorgia Angiuli, and Gray Cosmo, the other 7 artists are brand new. Four  of them are from Brazil, including Dudiish, Henrique Camacho, duo Special M and Tijah &  Dang3r, alongside Israeli trance producer California Sunshine and Nikrom Nataraj representing a remote town in the Himalayas.

Dudiish introduces the 10-track VA with 'Carolina Hi Tech'. By sampling samba anthem 'Carolina, Carol Bela', the Santa Catarina native stylishly weaves flamenco strings with punishing drum patterns employing a series of unpredictable peaks and troughs throughout. A dramatic shift in atmosphere follows with a brand-new artist, Unicorn Blood with their very first release 'Wandering Star'. The enchanting ambience forged early on from melismatic vocals and far eastern instruments soon clash with an onslaught of tough percussion, making for a gloriously inventive piece that traverses contrasting musical cultures. ZESHIN, the alias of Pushmaster Discs head Mattia Trani, pulls no punches with 'Game Over'. Unrestrained but still methodical, the Italian live maestro whizzes together a vibrant concoction of sprightly synth patterns which bubble away to a restless vocal sample in an effervescence of psy-laced electronica. 

California Sunshine's 'Ascending Light' is a fine example of such. A mercurial track that features an offbeat amalgam of whirring trance melodies, bending guitar licks and ethereal pads to produce a mesmerising electronic composition. Henrique Camacho, who's noted for his hi-octane, hi-tech style, brings a tornado-like swirl of energy with his contribution 'Clear Your Mind'. Swelling with unorthodox textures, the track hurtles through measures of safari effects, sitar scales and aquatic bass. 

Italian, multi-instrumentalist Giorgia Angiuli makes a welcome return with her enchanting, vocal-led number 'Rising'. With a tightly woven bass and kick at its core, the track steers proceedings towards a darker dimension by way of echoing, atmospheric synths and astral pads. Sao Paulo duo Special M, who are revered for their chart-topping psych-trance, consistently set a high bar with their music and 'By My Side' is no exception. Tense and brooding from the get-go the beat burns with a white-hot intensity as drum rolls loop around warbling basslines and the MC's blistering lyrics. 

As the VA reaches its final third, Tijah & Dang3r are at the ready with 'Om Namah'. By incorporating this most prominent of Hindu mantras, the duo cultivates a bewitching dance cut backed by a stirring drum beat and brimming with rippling, electro-rock musicality. The supremely talented Gray Cosmos' offer up a killer progressive techno wonder with 'Oyebe'. The track initially creaks with suspense but the tension lifts following the inception of a Cherokee inspired vocal arrangement that rings out over a twinkling soundscape of cosmic chords. 

At the final juncture of yet another beautifully diverse ARTCORE journey is Nikom Nataraj with 'Dance of the Lord Shiva'. An undeniably anthemic closer, the track captivates with its crying guitar solo that shimmers atop a snappy back beat of kicks and drone effects.

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.
