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.

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.

AD7USTMENT

„What makes a real artist? Maybe it’s this ever-growing, undeniable passion for his work. Maybe it’s this eternal urge to become more, to learn new things and to expand. But for sure it’s this unique footprint, this unmistakable vibe that an artist is broadcasting.“

The footprint of AD7USTMENT, is built of these elements: Energy. Skills. Charisma. Groove. His history with music and techno is a long and exciting journey, starting back in 1988 and influenced by both his home in Germany and his mother’s sunkissed origin in Petín, Spain. Learning to play drums as a kid led to wild electronic nights during the Spanish summer, and after his first event with Ricardo Villalobos, his soul was forever lost in techno – and his electronic path became clear and wide open. 

This path of an evolving, unconditional love and understanding of techno and everything it is, led to amazing experiences along the way:  The last years can be called as the era of longterm collaboration that let AD7USTMENT dive deep into the technical knowledge behind producing techno music and definitely paved the streets for all that is coming up now.

But now is now, and now is a time of change and transformation. What in the meantime even happens on a global scale around this earth, came up inside of AD7USTMENT some months ago: The inner call to do something different, to go beyond what has been before and to reach for new musical ways to express himself, became stronger and stronger. As a result, his studio output moved on to a new level. Something that seems to come directly from his universal spirit and that definitely deserved a new, own name and platform: AD7USTMENT was born. 

The sound of AD7USTMENT is created with an intention to get your energetic juices flowing, awaken your rave DNA and let the floor freak out. Like philosophical teachings, each track has its own message and takes you on a journey with pumping drums, innovative percussions and sounds from outer space and inner worlds. Feelings of ecstacy alternate with moments of silence or surprising vocals. With an AD7USTMENT track, you can expect to go on a rollercoaster ride that may take your breath, if you let it in.

His passion for powerful, dynamic tracks with this unique groove and storytelling now convinced Label´s such as Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains, Odd Recordings, Nechto Records, Suara and many more to sign AD7USTMENT.
