Sounds like early years infected m! Love it! ❤️

We often tend to take ourselves too seriously. We should listen to our 'good' side more often and make room for the opinions and actions of those around us. I think we might be surprised by the results.

Indira Paganotto Launches ARTCORE’s First VA – ‘Face To Face Miami Week 2024’

DJ, producer and label head, Indira Paganotto will release ‘Face To Face Miami Week 2024’ on March 21st via her ARTCORE label. The ten-track album features an alchemic brew of hard dance styles concocted by a stellar cast of talent. In 2022, Indira launched her forward thinking imprint to further establish her brand of pulsing, high-intensity techno and to celebrate those artists who share her musical philosophy. After 7 releases, she looks to further make good on that promise with her label’s first VA.

BEC has reached the top of her game in a short time, after being head hunted by Pan-Pot, following plays at Burning Man, Tobacco Dock and The Warehouse Project. She is a ‘self confessed’ studio geek and wastes no time in setting the pace with opening track ‘Loca’. She constructs an Arabic-infused soundscape by juxtaposing enchanting vocal and flute melodies with rotating techno percussion. 

Luca Agnelli and Rian Wood collaborate for ‘Kiss Like This’ which for all its glossy vocal retains a visceral rawness amongst flashes of synth and unrestrained bass. Both hailing from Italy, Rian has drawn his influences from Hard Rave, Old School and Gabber. Luca is the founder of his Eturia Beat label since 2010 but has been featured on many more including NineTimesNine, Blackworks and Soma.

The appropriately titled ‘Lose Control’ by emerging new alias TEUTON does exactly that harnessed by the Digital Mindz original he applies his own take on the hardstyle number. A man behind a mask, mysterious in his identity, he started his music career over 30 years ago in the hardcore and goa trance scene.

Returning ARTCORE producer CHRS’ ‘Skeptical’ and brand-new artist PARKERSTRANGE with their track ‘123’ traverse a rave-psy-techno tightrope melding elements of each genre together in a cauldron of caustic electronica. Rich in style, and bold in its application of samples and atmospherics. The whole VA is intelligently executed, and this couldn’t achieved without artists like Italian multi-instrumentalist Giorgia Angiuli whose track ‘Ego Is The Enemy’ glides into life ascending through a melodic mist of fluttering dance motifs and monastic ambience. Giorgia is a live artist, and a classically trained musician who’s performed at Timewarp and Ultra.

Ecuadorian artist Lara Klart continues this vein of haunting but beguiling musicality on ‘Aleluya’ employing Miriea Clua on violin to instil a chordophone elegance atop a driving, deep techno pattern. 

Joining forces on ‘Power Of Silence’ Rhygar and Stëh collaborate for the first time, they provide a refreshing range of techno aesthetics. Including Zeshin’s ‘Sushy Party’, a new psy-trance alias by Mattia Trani, who’s sound is inspired by Japanese 00’s gaming. His track is fuelled by a giddy, anime like charm that stems from the sugar-coated vocals which dance across waves of juddering drums and cooling synths. 

The curtain closer, Joel Bird’s ‘Existentialism’ warps and surges with a celestial resonance amid a fusion of stomping claps a ceaseless percussion the track gently evanesces and fades into a calming ether. Joel is a young 20-year-old producer who’s work has been supported by KI/KI and Theo Nasa, this single marks his first release.

All tracks on the latest ARTCORE VA will be available on the 21st March.

Premiere: Marhu - Bansurí [ARTCORE011]

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 herWARRIORS - have been treated to a myriad of special releases over the last 12 months. And after her debut collaboration with Joseph Capriati, Indira announces the forthcoming 'ARTCORE OFFSónar 2024 Vol.1' this June, making the 2nd on the label since its inception. 

Vol.1 drops on the 27th June, with ten brand new tracks, and nine brand new artists debuting on ARTCORE. It boasts a truly eclectic mix of vocal samples set to a mouth-watering collection of electronic styles. 

Flying hot out of the traps for the LP opener is Buenos Aires born, Aussie-based Scifo with 'Dias De Fiesta' an emotionally charged, psy-imbued delight. The young SCIFO shrewdly chops a famous vocal to suit rapid-fire drumming while retaining the Latin beauty of its trance ancestor. Chasing the euphoric trance spirit, Slovakia's Samuel Andrášik - whose techno offerings are a regular in sets played by Charlotte De Witte, Indira Paganotto and KI/KI - uses powerful accelerating tempos with tense, foreboding synths on 'Return to Zero' to usher ominous, ghostly choir-like chanting before swiftly returning to the sonic pallet used at the beginning. 

The Hamburg pairing of ANDATA up the ante with 'Bianca Rambo' which starts amidst a whirring of breezy bleepy, clicks and sultry vocals only to then switch lanes altogether to introduce a thrashing, rock-guitar led breakdown. As the VA approaches the halfway mark, Italians Gray Cosmo instil a cool wave of progressive nuance subtlety steering the VA away from the psy-spliced-techno chaos it had garnered early on by way of mystical phonics and corrugated, cosmic musicality. The Middle Eastern inspiration continues with Afterparty in Paradise label head, Chris Morgan. On 'Serenum', the Swiss national opens the beat with an enthralling clash of vocals and gentle strumming sitar lines before introducing a galloping, pulsing bass. 

Emerging Belgian starlet, Marhu delivers yet another vocal-heavy, crisply produced, tempo focused gem with 'Bansuri', admixing delightful pan-pipe overtones with motorised percussion for maximum red-line impact. Roni Martinez provides the hardest cut on the VA with the unrelenting 'Desertica'. It's intense, squat-party like vigour brazenly trounces the whispering, goose-bump inducing lyrics that creep between its pneumatic drum rolls. The stirring, chest-beating inception of Arytmia's 'Fortress' will evoke audio imagery of sci-fi anti-heroes such as Darth Vader or Baron Harkonnen. 

The vivacious melody is underpinned by a bleak, darkly cosmos of droning pads and battle-ready percussion. FORBIDDEN's 'Keep The Faith' swiftly roars into existence, like much of the Serbian's work, by way of a fierce, bass driven melody. As the head of PHASE-2 records, and the only artist on this VA to have released on the label before, Italian producer CHRS is infamous for his brand of jarring but ultimately satisfying techno. The Italian's contribution to the VA titled 'Mental Groovy', encircles the ethos of ARTCORE sublimely. Its hyperactive melody is ignited by piercing sirens, tidal like drum work and harsh wintery synth patterns which sandwich an outrageous vocal sample.

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.

Paradise lost

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.
