Closing 2025 with yet another killer EP, will be the final ARTCORE release of the year featuring R.Korner and Akoriz on the labels successful DUO series of EPs for 2025.

The returning R.Korner is back to ARTCORE with two unmistakable compositions that fully showcase the Padua born producer’s passion for hypnotic rhythms underpinned with psychedelic and oriental influences.

Fellow Italian, Rome based, Akoriz is a familiar face amongst the ARTCORE family and rounds off yet another breathtaking VA release with two relentless stompers fusing the rawest elements of electronica with the young producer’s restless, forward-thinking energy.

Kicking off with R.Korner’s opener, ’Fury’ begins in evocative, cinematic fashion with spidery synth, sweeping guitar and stirring grooves penetrating from early. A dystopian blend of mystical yet pounding techno melodies rumble as guttural harmonies gnarl, before a seemingly infinite loop of crying strings fade to the beat’s final burst of percussion.

On ‘Can I See U On The Dancefloor’ Italian producer Akoriz incorporates a vivid concoction of rave ready influences that perfectly contribute to the track’s strobe-lit aesthetic. A dulcet vocal whispers over shifting, hardstyle patterns concocting a glacial like calm over an otherwise raging techno soundscape.

A gothic chime signals the intro to R.Korner’s ‘Nordica’ aside a devilish sound-pool of heaving synth, crashing bass and chilling melodics. Each break in tempo is hastily followed by a surge of panting, ghostly effects that ring out as a chanting core of melodies wail sinisterly in the distance.

Akoriz final contribution, ‘Hangover’ offers a prominent drum and brooding bass lead that rattles franticly from the outset. Sporadic pauses in motion are accompanied by a frenzied MC-like vocal that rotates recklessly through a chorus of thudding percussion, haunting trance fills, and spiralling ethereal textures.
