TRACKLIST – ‘Into The Darkness’

1. CHRS – ‘In The Darkness’
2. CHRS – ‘Sharp Blade’

Premiere: CHRS - Sharp Blade (Extended Mix)

Released on 25th January, CHRS’ ‘In The Darkness’ EP marks the fifth release on ARTCORE as the  label begins 2024 with a big signal of intent. 

After a solid start to life in 2023, Indira Paganotto’s ARTCORE imprint steams into 2024 with an  impressive release from Catania-based artist CHRS and his ‘In The Darkness’ EP. Spanning two  individually striking cuts, CHRS’ first appearance on ARTCORE isn’t for the faint-hearted and comes  packed with riveting psy-laced techno potency from start to finish.  

Kicking off with the title cut, ‘In The Darkness’ delivers high-octane energy from the outset with subtle,  ethereal nuances and nods to hardstyle throughout. A relentless stomper in its own right, it features  a wave of differing scenes, peaks, and troughs that keep you on your toes and guessing what’s coming  next around every corner.  

‘Sharp Blade’ completes the release in style, bringing together multi-genre influences effortlessly,  fusing psytrance, breakbeat and hardstyle. An exciting blend of celestial undertones and hard-hitting  trancey grooves, its riveting combination of pumping drums and low-end drive alongside coarse  electronic musicality make it an undeniable signature piece for the ARTCORE collection.

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.

Quasar

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.
