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.

Jay Tommy is believed to be the one to watch amongst the new breed of techno artists from the UK, creating a sound that combines the pounding acid warehouse with the deep and melodic, heavily influenced by the underground rave scene. 

His progress has taken years of dedication in the studio and mentoring under the innovative Mark EG at his renowned music school, resulting in an instantly recognisable sound of techno and acid. 

Since an early age, Jay has been performing with the biggest artists in techno. Having made his FOLD debut at the age of twenty-one, performing an emotional and explosive set with the king of acid techno D.A.V.E. The Drummer at the legendary London club, leaving a packed dance floor craving more. Now a regular at parties in the capital with his energy building sets, having shared the decks with the likes of Perc, Slam, Annē, Angy Kore & Gabriel Padrevita and more. 

This was followed in 2023 by his first UK festival appearance at Boomtown in Area 404, performing a high-energy acid-techno set alongside some of the best underground artists in the scene. Although some know him for his high octane sounds, his versatility is shown when supporting major artists, with his ability to adapt making him stand out from the crowd.

In spite of his young age, Jay has already released music on some of the biggest labels in techno. His main highlight so far has been the collaboration ‘Movement EP’ with Mark EG on the mighty Hydraulix at the start of 2023, with the release enjoying chart success in hard techno. This has been followed by collaboration requests to work with more heavyweight producers on prestigious labels, so listen out for those exhibited at upcoming events in the near future.

Alongside performing and producing music, Jay runs his own dark techno and acid label, Tommy Trax, which was founded in 2019. Tommy Trax has provided the perfect platform to experiment with his own unique sound and has already attracted the attention of the big hitters in techno. This has also given Jay the chance to collaborate with some huge artists, no more so than on the ‘Delete EP’ in 2021 with Dino Maggiorana, propelling the label into the spotlight of the underground rave community. The start of 2022 has seen the ‘Renaissance EP’ with Roentgen Limiter and Ayako Mori played by some of the scene’s most respected names, like Parfait, deservedly enjoying hard techno chart success at the same time. 

At the end of the same year, the ‘Intoxication EP’ by ROBPM, Nusha and Jay Tommy exploded onto the late night dance floors, with support from T78, Ben Dust, Lessss and more. The pinnacle moment when ROBPM dropped the main track at the huge Affenkäfig Festival in Germany. His final success of the year came when Jay’s rework of his original track ‘Hidden Addiction’ was supported by Nusha on her world tours.

As the hype increases over the coming years, it will be interesting to see how his music ascends into the global scene and shakes the late night dance floors. It’s clear that Jay Tommy will influence musical trends with his own unique take on the warehouse rave.
