PREMIERE: Lara Klart - Aleluya Feat. Mireia Clua [ARTCORE007]

There's no stopping globe-trotting PSYMAMA Indira Paganotto at present. With her ARTCORE event series drawing sell-out crowds across Europe, fans of her atomic blend of psy trance and techno - to which she lovingly refers to as her WARRIORS - have been treated to a myriad of special releases over the last 12 months. After ARTCORE's triumphant label showcase at Barcelona's majestic Castell De Ben Viure, Indira Paganotto announces 'Part 2' of the labels OffSónar VA to be released on 4th July. As the successor to Part.1, the latest VA is yet another collection of robust, diverse, and high-octane electronic tracks featuring 10 exhilarating compositions.

Leading the charge is Interactive Noise. As one of the more senior figures on the VA, the pioneering Mexican producer and live artist sets a high bar early on. His track 'Ninja World' opens with simmering strings and phasing hat effects to a soul-stirring melody shadowed by chanting vocals. ARTCORE affiliate and founder of Overtime Recordings, Valentinø takes the hardstyle reigns of the VA's opener and sets out on an alternative psychedelic path on 'Space Travel'. Blurring razor-edged synth, penetrating bass and warping overtones the Italian producer injects a serious of 'risers' late on to further develop the track's aerospace theme. 

Short, sharp and punchy bursts of bass kickstart Sumia's 'On The Road', with the young Istanbul native weaving raw, industrialised drum claps, coarse 'rewind' and her own vocal samples to make for a slightly tumultuous but ultimately compelling composition. An endearing quality of any ARTCORE VA is Indira's willingness to include established names alongside rising talent, with a prime example being Spain's Ramiro Lopez. The Odd Recordings head, a household name for techno fans the world over, begins 'What U Want' with a playful vocal that morphs into something considerably darker when met with a jack hammer bass and fierce, brain-shaking percussion. 

Thundering into its second half, is the young Void Milano resident R.Korner, who steps up with  'Hell Flags', a hypersonic trance spliced techno effort featuring a curios vocal borrowed from  hardcore rapper Comethazine. Barcelona's Flug, who is infamous for his concrete-like techno  offerings, enters with a rampaging, battering ram of a track titled 'Racing Cars' that features a  shuddering onslaught of 'warning sign' worthy percussion along with vocals from Liz McFarland.  The unsettling vocal samples continue on Queen from AD7USMENT with tightly woven drum  patterns, jungle-leaning breakdowns and acidic hi-hats at its core. The beat takes a peculiar turn late on before reverting back to type. It's a track made unquestionably in the image of its enigmatic German creator. 

The trio of Lørenzø Cøluccia, K4rm3 & IN6N unite on '222' to concoct an unrestrained bass tremor that arrives at its rather regal-mid-point only to crash back into the fire and brimstone of the track's latter stages to a chorus of hellish screams and tense pulsing pads. There's no shelter to be had for those of a nervous disposition when the release chugs towards its final track. Akoriz, who hails from Rome, delivers a sonic amalgamation of styles on 'My Ask' brazenly merging hard-dance codes and admirably succeeding. In the final act of this ARTCORE thriller, Mindstripes presents 'Bipolar Monk'. An uncompromising beat that truly lives up to its name with juddering, jittering basslines, lute-like strumming and menacing monastic vocals.

Journey Into Sound is a sonic journey that pulls you forcefully into the depths of the hardtrance experience. Each beat is a spark that ignites an inner fire, taking the listener through intense and expansive emotional landscapes. The progression created by Project PSW is like a dizzying ascent, where layers of synthesizers stack with precision, creating a feeling of total immersion. It’s a sound that doesn’t just seek to move the body, but to transform the mind, leading the listener into an elevated state of consciousness, as if every pulse were an open door to the unknown.

Journey Into Sound

A total of 10 tracks and 11 artists with the one collaboration on the release, ARTCORE Miami Music Week 2025 will be released on Thursday the 3rd April. Whilst welcoming back artists on the VA who have already released on the label including Joel Bird and AD7USTMENT. This release focuses on a lot of new names to both the industry and label.

Ida Engberg needs no introduction, the Swedish producer and DJ began her career, at the age of 13 spinning vinyls. With a residency In Ibiza under her belt, and countless plays for Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Ultra Music Festival and more, she makes her debut on ARTCORE with opening track 'Free Your Mind'. Richly cinematic, meticulously designed and filled with frenetic urgency, the pacy melody soon succumbs to a chilling ambience which settles atop its low-end elements. 

Rising Italian DJ/producer, Giacomo Dianz and his track 'Feel The Sound Around.' A nervous inception that begins with a chattering, panning vocal becomes fraught with brittle snares, jittering cymbals as well as tripped out a chord progression that creeps alongside. 

Andrea Marino -also a member of Germany metal band Emigrate, which no doubt has influenced the use of his stings inspired industrial aggression on his track 'The Plug Pt 2'. Delivering a choice of hard-style flavours, he merges a twisted groove with a distorted vocal presence to add a tough groove to proceedings.

The mysterious and brand-new duo, Sinnerstraxx pay homage to ARTCORE's fanbase with their track 'Warriors'. A sample taken from the cult movie of the same name features heavily within a fervent psy-charged soundscape of twinkling, morphing melodics, and drilling LFO fills to produce an undoubtable club-ready weapon.

A career of 20 years, North Italian producer KAT3X, works with a hybrid DJ set of missing samples, loops and effects with Traktor and Ableton Live or CDJs, permitting him to create different sounds for every set. He has played alongside Chris Liebing, The Advent, Oscar Mulero, Speedy J and many more, plus runs his own label KATEXIS. His track 'Number' is an intriguingly strung-out rhythm that catches your attention from the off thanks to a jack-hammer bass that pummels aside an array of giddy rave motifs. 

AD7USTMENT is on hand with ‘Doberman’. The German producer who has released on labels including Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains, Suara and Odd Recordings. This new track brings the heat, and high-octane energy ARTCORE is known for. A frighteningly fierce composition, it features a rhythmic drive aside complex percussive elements to cause eyeball spinning velocity from beginning to end.

French DJ and head of OIZ Records, Onelas takes no prisoners with his menacing VA effort, 'Vicious Circle.' Following a piercing, drawn-out hoover synth that contorts and coerces itself into the beat comes at hunderous percussion, a disconcerting bleeping and a wave of abstract melodics to cause a state of continuing flux. His latest releases have been featured on NineTimesNine, Reckless, NowNow and Blackworks.

UK duo, Exceed from Manchester and Liverpool have coined their name for their ability to 'go beyond what is allowed or stipulated'. Signing tracks to NineTimesNine, doof, Barbed and Innergate, they make their debut on ARTCORE with 'Revelation'. Delivering a tightly pieced together number which incorporates a stirring synth and bass lead with breaks style percussive fills that rattle, roll and explode sporadically.

Welcoming back Joel Bird to the label, as his last release was on the last Miami VA in 2024, the London based young producer, is also training to be a commercial pilot! His track 'All I See Is Ochre' is a complex piece in which the narrative is told through smart measures of static pulses and blasts of phasers to present a cosmic rush of analogue wonder. With his music supported by KI/KI and Theo Nasa, we couldn't think of a better way to close out this release.

SOUND ktorý ťa vytrhne zo sveta dnešného konzumu,ktorý tu smrdí na “každom rohu” 

Ďakujem že som mohol zažiť dobu a ľudí ktorí ma “odchovali” na kvalitnom zvuku,zažil dlhé roky vďaka ním  strávené cestovaním po celom SK/CZ už ako “násť ročný” z poslucháča a fanúšika sa postupom času stal ten ktorý neskôr chcel a začal hrávať pre davy..vyjadrovať a popisovať samého seba zvukom,tempom..mixom,to všetko neni len prepalený kick z predbiehaním sa kto zahrá čo najrýchlejšie v ponímaní dnešných “Xkáčov” Retiazkarov a pod…to je len póza,tzv.”lifestyle” ale všetko okolo toho je len na prvý pohľad,
Povrchné..plytké,smutné

Našťastie z mojich vzorov sa stali časom dobrí známi ktorí mi nikdy nechceli zle a snažili sa ma vždy usmerniť skrz ich životné skúsenosti ktoré sú “neprenosné”  a ďakujem im za všetken ten “hrach”ktorý hádzali,no nepadol v mojom živote vždy na úrodnú pôdu..

Dnes z odstupom času sa nepovažujem za niekoho kto si môže hovoriť DJ,ale spokojne môžem povedať,že viem odlíšiť čo je,tak tiež čo nieje hudobné smetisko.

V hudbe mám stále napriek všetkému čo žijem prehľad,čo beriem ako takú malú nádej ktorú máme všetci niekde tam…Verím v to že raz sa to uberie naspäť smerom ku ktorému som bol vedený ja ako vtedajší nadšenec Techna.
…”return to quality over quantity”

V šuflíku mám toho na koniec stále na rozdávanie.
A raz..viem,že príde čas kedy budem môcť v danom momente opäť popísať seba tak ako samého seba vnímam,a budete mať na výber či to so so mnou odtancujete,lebo to je tá najkrajšia spätná väzba.Mier 🙏🏻
..A šak keby dačo tak nič 😆🙌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
