Earlier this year, ARTCORE took another bold step into a new and innovative direction with the first release of its DUO series. So far Avan7, Becker, Interactive Noise, Marhu, Valentinø, Giorgia Angiuli and BEC have all featured as part of this new concept – in which two artists are selected to feature on one EP.

ARTCORE DUO IV see’s CHRS and SUMIA join forces, with 2 tracks each to be released on the 5th June. CHRS, a Sicilian artist who is no stranger to the label, is also a resident and label manager of Phase 2. With shows this year in his home of Catania, Phase 2’s Festival as well as Hi Ibiza, his sound is trace, with groove and experimental touches, all elements he’ll add to an exciting remix planned for a historic artist later this year. 

SUMIA, also known as Turkey’s “Princess Of Hard Dance”, is the founder of charity event ‘Stronger Together’ and the Volx community Records owner. She says her sound is currently evolving, and this release leans more towards a trance/bounce direction, whilst she embarks on a new concept to perform her own tracks totally live during her DJ sets at some of her upcoming shows this summer in Rome, Serbia and Japan.

SUMIA opens the release with ‘Kill Mia’. An alarm like synth provides the foundation of the melody which begins with the classic ‘trill’ transition accompanied by rotating bass notes, shotgun claps and whispering vocals.

CHRS employs the incredible vocals from Revia on ‘Missing Pieces’. The track showcases his trademark sound, with a pacy concoction of supercharged percussive power and thrumming pad effects open before the soulful vocals begin to flow to provide nuance, whilst a potent core of dramatic synth fills rumble coldly beneath.

SUMIA didn’t earn her title of her ‘Hardcore Princess’ by accident. On ‘Fisiltiar’, she expertly fuses fierce bass chops and imposing drums with a reverberating, siren like effect. But, out of almost nowhere, a charming stringed chorus intercepts before the melody takes its final drop and bursts with shockwaves of electric musicality.

CHRS closes the release with ‘Inside The Heart’. A venture into drum n bass / neurofunk territory, offering an adrenaline fuelled ride through a counter-current of amen drum patterns, melancholic stabs and serene, euphonious vocal elements. A beautifully linear soundscape that delivers a whole new and welcome audio experience for the ARTCORE faithful. 

ARTCORE DUO IV featuring tracks from SUMIA and CHRS will be released on ARTCORE on the 5th June.

Premiere: BEC & Giorgia Angiuli - Seeker (Extended Mix)

ARTCORE Records continues to carve a niche sound, their own trademark genre of Psy-Techno, with a string of chart topping releases whether in VA format, solo EP’s, singles or the creative new DUO release format. Two of the label strong female artists return this April, for a 4 track EP from Giorgia Angiuli and BEC.

Giorgia Angiuli’s has been an evergreen presence on the global live circuit for over a decade. With a style that’s shaped by her history as a professional composer and multi-instrumentalist, Angiuli’s perception of the ARTCORE template brings her back for her third outing and to follow up on her 2024 VA contribution ‘Rising’.

BEC’s remarkable rise within the electronic dance world is the result of tenacity and talent. She was head hunted early in her career and has since featured her music on labels including Nina Kraviz’s Trip, SPFDJ’s Intrepid Skin and BPitch, plus her own label EMBARGO, a label she launched with a debut collaboration with KiNK. The Berlin based DJ returns to ARTCORE for the first time since her single in 2024 was featured on one of the labels VA’s.

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.

Bouncing bass and starry melodics broaden the EP’s sonic appeal on BEC’s ‘Cherry Dagger’. A gliding melody that punches and swirls in unison with wavey overtones helps to define this rave imbued track that ebbs and flows amidst skittering cymbals and volatile, tremolo effects.

BEC and Giorgia Angiuli unite on ‘Seeker’, combining their faultless studio chops together for the first time. Unsettling and stirring, the pair work in tandem to unleash a dancefloor monster cast from an orchestra of apocalyptic low-end elements - such as a ponderous baritone bass and low-pitched ceremonial drumming. The track’s end-of-days-like narrative is accentuated further by swerving vehicle effects and drones that ominously hover atop the beat.

Giorgia Angiuli’s ‘Warriors of Light’ delivers a celestial mix of trance-like ambiences that are underpinned by a linear techno pattern. Sliced, monastic vocals chant as slews of menacing riffs rain down across a reverberating soundscape of shuddering bass, thunderous claps, and intoxicating grooves.

A rumbling euphony of pace-setting melodies triggers the beginning of BEC’s ‘Loca Mania’ in unapologetic style. Choppy percussion, howling sirens and liquidised synths add a dystopian texture to a composition which barrels through jittery rhythm sections with no remorse aside a pair of sporadically dotted vocal components.

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.
