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.

MARHU’s ‘Bhajan’ EP is available to buy/stream from 26h September on ARTCORE.

Premiere: MARHU - Himari [ARTCORE013]

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.

03 Giacomo Dianz - Feel The Sound Around You (Extended Mix) [ARTCORE Records]

10 Andrea Marino - The Plug Pt. 2 (Extended Mix) [ARTCORE Records]

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.

Lola’s EP ‘I Don’t Speak German’ EP will be released on ARTCORE on the 15th May
Lola Cerise – ‘I Don't Speak German’ EP [ARTCORE021]

1. Lola Cerise – ‘Stop Stealing My Socks’
2. Lola Cerise – ‘Less Cheese In My Raclette’
3. Lola Cerise – ‘Is That What You Wanted Mummy’
4. Lola Cerise – ‘EROTOMANIA’
5. Lola Cerise – ‘Humans Smell Rain Better Than Sharks’
6. Lola Cerise – ‘You Look Ugly When You Drink Whiskey’

Premiere: Lola Cerise - EROTOMANIA (Extended Mix)

Lola Cerise was always destined for a career in music. Growing up in France, a young Cerise would spend her formative years learning the piano before the lure of hard beats and illegal parties introduced her to a culture that would change her life forever. 

Renowned for her ability to seamlessly merge only the toughest of dance codes during her boundary pushing live sets, Lola Cerise’s music embodies her storied personal history comprehensively. It’s this impassioned energy that courses through her DNA that’s fuelled her music making earning her releases on Gomboc Records, Comme des les films, Khazad Records and Record Union as well as appearances on important channels such as, HÖR Berlin and BCCO. 

After performing on numerous line-ups together, Lola Cerise is now set to debut on Indira Paganotto’s formidable ARTCORE Records imprint with ‘I Don’t Speak German’ EP which will land on 15th May. 

Opening track, ‘Stop Stealing My Socks’ begins somewhat outlandishly with Lola Cerise packing a fantastically diverse palette of effects into an otherwise tense soundscape of charging drum fills and spaced-out pads that provide the foundations to this hallucinatory, shapeshifting melody. On ‘Less Cheese In My Raclette’, the wonderfully cartoonish energy continues as fierce breakdowns meet a mix of ‘downer’ synth lines that frivolously dance and skip whilst a whirring siren bass relentless churns beneath fierce, snappy and gnarling percussion. 

It’s clear that Lola Cerise’s has channelled her playful side into her debut ARTCORE EP as she forges on with the peculiar (but still incredibly fitting) track titles. When ‘Is That What You Wanted Mummy’ begins it brings with it an ‘edge of chaos’ suspense as unrestrained measures of high-octane, psy-infused techno rumble ominously whilst the arrival of a manic vocal sample busts opens the door to a cacophony of far out, low-end elements. As the EP tips into the second act, ‘EROTOMANIA’ emerges to a chorus of war-ready chanting whilst a fierce medley of thick kicks, pulsing bass and droning chord notes interrupt proceedings to form the track’s core before even more of the guttural vocal components that opened the track are reintroduced. A metallic, clunking opens ‘Humans Smell Rain Better Than Sharks’ before the track breaks and unfurls into a speedy but creeping composition defined by its spidery synth arrangements, coarse cymbals and ruggedly chopped vocal components. 

Closing out this ingenious off-centre EP is ‘You Look Ugly When You Drink Whiskey’ which urgently sets off using a combination of eccentric overtones, breathless vocal components and effervescent percussive drive that perilously thunders through a dramatic series of energy shifts to see out the release in a vibrant, off the wall style. 

01 Lola Cerise - Stop Stealing My Socks (Extended Mix) [ARTCORE Records]

Many moons ago, beneath the whispering leaves of a secret Banyan tree on a beach in Goa, two sonic storytellers, Mandala and Braincell, met in the stillness of the night and spoke of stars, sounds and the rhythms of the universe.

What began as cosmic conversation soon evolved into a shared mission: to transform their stories into sonic journeys and send them out into the world.

And thus, the Undercover Babas were born.

The Story of Us is a chronicle of that journey. A collection of 13 tracks that reflect the madness, the mystery and the magic of their time together.
Ten of these tales have echoed across dance-floors before, one has been freshly remastered and two are brand new transmissions from the heart of the Babas.
One is a full-power psychedelic stormer, that is raw, rhythmic and unmistakably theirs. The other drifts in slower currents, a deep ambient trip through inner space.

This is more than an album...it's a sonic memoir.

We are the Undercover Babas.
And this is The Story of Us.

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.
