Continuing to bolster an already rock-solid reputation for ingenuity, ARTCORE’s next release brings together three of Japana’s finest for a triple EP ‘Tokyo Family’. Comprised of 4-tracks, from 4 top producers from Japan, including PARTYMONSTER, Spectra Sonics, Prohecht, Xipe Totecs have all contributed to the release, which will arrive on 9th October.

The four of them are the latest additions to an already inspiring roster on Indira Paganotto’s ARTCORE - bringing their gorgeously high-octane, homegrown styles together for the first time, a special EP celebrating the talent of Japanese musicians.

Spectra Sonics’ beautifully image heavy aesthetic smartly bridges authentic PSY like energy with the pummelling drive of more contemporary PSY and techno stylings. For his acutely futurist offering, ‘Tribes Of Trance’ opens the release, the vibrant beat-craftsman employs a skittish menace of twitching synth atop an uneasy cluster of distorting modulations and billowing grooves.

The duo of Ana and Yuki make up explosive PSY centric collective Xipe Totecs. Integral to developing their beloved sound in the city of Kyoto, the pair are at the centre of an exciting PSY-trance movement and are regular performers at many of the open-air parties their home city plays host to. On their eerily atmospheric number Kagome the duo adds an unnerving twist to the EP. Under a firing onslaught of rumbling low-end and rave oddities, a haunting folklore-like vocal loops around pulsing drums and skipping synth capturing the spirit of urban legend within a pacy, trance rooted framework.

As founder of the same Tokyo vibe starters that share his name, PARTYMONSTER has been an unstoppable force in Japan’s PSY-trance scene. On his track, ‘Nippon’, the influential producer evokes a chorus of traditional Japanese instruments and subtly contorted sonics to open. Following a radiant blur of thunderous bass, riveting kicks and watertight percussion the beat fades to a final crash of whistles and strings to conclude a sprightly label debut. 

The fourth artist and final track of the EP comes from Propecht. Based in Tokyo he has taught himself the fundamentals of software and synths. Collaborating with Spectra Sonics already, he also released on Brazilian psy-trance label SYNK87 Music. ‘System Collapse’ combines jittering synth patterns with broad, sweeping pads concocting a dense, heavy opening and a feeling of feverish anticipation. After the initial break the track unfolds to crescendo of engrossing grooves and charging rhythms whilst a tranquil vocal navigates this resounding tech-trance offering until the closing stages of track.

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.
