Scotland-based DJ & producer Mha Iri is undoubtedly a rising force within the techno circuit, having been heralded as the top-selling female artist in Hard Techno on Beatport in 2023, consistently dominating the Top 10 charts with her releases on labels like Drumcode and Filth On Acid, and appearances scheduled at Awakenings, Junction 2, and many more. Now arriving on Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint for the first time, Mha Iri delivers ‘Take My Love’, an anthemic track packed with hands-in-the-air energy where mammoth kicks, wonky FX, and hypnotic vocals collide in epic fashion, as well as an amped-up ‘Hard Mix’ on the digital flip.

“I wrote the vocal to ‘Take My Love’ over six years ago. I had a vocal idea that I recorded and added this weird organ preset from Diva VST, which gave the track a really funky feel. I then left the track dormant, as although it was a solid idea, it wasn't where I wanted it to be at the time. Then, last year, I decided to rework 'Take My Love' and see what would happen using my studio experiences since I started, and it really blossomed. It's a fun, funky track and is very different from my usual sound, but it still has my signature feel to it. I also did a harder techno version, which I've been playing at my gigs, so it's been a really nice way of merging the two styles.” – Mha Iri

As we enter the tenth release on Indira's Paganotto's burgeoning ARTCORE imprint, the label signals intent with an admirable offering from longstanding Techno authority Joseph Capriati joining Indira on a two-track collaboration.

Joseph & Indira's 'Mantra' is another testament to ARTCORE's ever-increasing weight in Techno and global electronic dance music and features a duo of racy cuts laden with signature sonics from both artists, kicking off with 'Ananda' and its potent classic Techno feel, with a prominent Capriati core of thumping kicks, crisp percussive drive and progressive energy shifts and playful twists, laced with Indira's hypnotic exotic vocal chops and gritty LFO shots. 

'Mantra' rounds off the release with an inverted sound transition, leaning heavier into the 'Psy' sound that has seen Indira's notoriety skyrocket. Flooded with undulating low-end movement, creative off-beat flare, shifting rhythmic patterns and uplifting musicality, its immersive blend of darker sounds and spiritually utopian nuances makes for an undeniably unique statement  track. 

Whilst famed for his endless spree of unforgettable mainstage performances and international club shows, including standout residencies in Ibiza, Joseph Capriati's studio productions have been carefully selected and rare in recent years. With the emergence of their latest studio productions, Joseph and Indira's 'Mantra' release serves as a stamp of approval from one of Techno's most respected tastemakers and an insight into the potential of ARTCORE's indelible impact on global dance music.

Indira Paganotto is an unstoppable force in the music industry right now. After a killer 8-week summer residency at Amnesia 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.
  
Whilst ARTCORE welcome back artists on the VA who have already released on the label including CHRS, AD7USTMENT and TEUTON. But with another 7 artists making their ARTCORE debut, there is a lot of exciting talent Indira wants to create awareness for, young Colombian Noise Mafia, Spanish collaborators Victor Magan and Franklin Dam, Mariana Revilla from Mexico City known for her acid techno sets and French Teletech favourite
Eskha.
 
Raw femme power comes in the form of Fei-Fei, an established artist from the US, she is all about sexual liberation and making hyper techno for the hoes. Whilst Reblok has made a remarkable comeback as a techno producer after a decade in Tech House, with his music supported by I Hate Models, Kobosil and even Netflix.
 
Columbian producer Noise Mafia kicks off the VA with ‘Gansha’. The Bogata resident - who recently debuted on digital platform HOR - masterfully blends a frenzied bass and drum combo featuring a vocal improv that harmonises with whistling pan flute melodies. The energy remains at full-tilt with the arrival of Mexican techno-export, Mariana Revilla and her track ‘Baby G’. From the off a rush of fidgeting synth riffs run riot through a capacious soundscape of dreamy melodics whilst a hype man MC sample judders alongside.
 
From the Americas to Europe, Rex Club regular Eskha manifests the spirit of the Parisian underground with his track ‘Bisous Bisous’. A warehouse party thriller featuring a female vocalist whose rave-ready hooks rotate around measures of bulbous bass, hypo percussion, and neon whistle effects. Riding the electro-rush set early on comes Fei-Fei - who recently topped Beatport’s Top100 - with ‘Queen of Acid’. Employing original vocals to offer a tongue in cheek “allegiance” pledge at the intro the beat is in stark contrast to her sugary online persona as she opts for gritty industrial sonics, pounding drumbeats, and chaotic breakdowns.
 
Hailing from the Balklans, Reblok’s music has featured on a number of labels throughout his career, but ‘Vigor’ is his first on ARTCORE. The track isn’t exactly PG-friendly with a revolving hook that reels off various illicit substances atop a marching, warrior bass and distorted synth. The duo of Victor Magan & Franklin Dam collaborates for their VA contribution titled, ‘Locura’. A curious track that pulsates with kinetic vigour and features a side-scrolling arcade like melody that skips and dances in-between each verse and hook. ARTCORE regular CHRS abruptly changes the VA’s course with ‘Hot Rhythm’, an all-out audio assault of fast, chasmic techno that incorporates a breakbeat style loop and thudding old-school rave stabs.
 
With the VA drawing to a close AD7USTMENT follows the techno trail with ‘Seventeen’. Again, it’s a tough, rock-steady melody that chugs with an ethereal resonance amid a torrent of perpetual percussion. The eerily enigmatic TEUTON is another familiar name from ARTCORE-verse and his track ‘Gaya Calling’ epitomises his dramatic musical style. Beginning with a decisive drum-kick the beat ominously begins to develop by way of clamorous laser effects, delirious vocals and mechanized basslines. Wrapping up ‘ARTCORE ADE 2024 Vol.2’ are ANSBRO and C303 with ‘Ex Anima’. A war-cry of a beat that could soundtrack the final battle-scene of a dark space-opera with its stomping lead, hellish space pads and metallic sonic textures.

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.
