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 herWARRIORS - have been treated to a myriad of special releases over the last 12 months. And after her debut collaboration with Joseph Capriati, Indira announces the forthcoming 'ARTCORE OFFSónar 2024 Vol.1' this June, making the 2nd on the label since its inception. 

Vol.1 drops on the 27th June, with ten brand new tracks, and nine brand new artists debuting on ARTCORE. It boasts a truly eclectic mix of vocal samples set to a mouth-watering collection of electronic styles. 

Flying hot out of the traps for the LP opener is Buenos Aires born, Aussie-based Scifo with 'Dias De Fiesta' an emotionally charged, psy-imbued delight. The young SCIFO shrewdly chops a famous vocal to suit rapid-fire drumming while retaining the Latin beauty of its trance ancestor. Chasing the euphoric trance spirit, Slovakia's Samuel Andrášik - whose techno offerings are a regular in sets played by Charlotte De Witte, Indira Paganotto and KI/KI - uses powerful accelerating tempos with tense, foreboding synths on 'Return to Zero' to usher ominous, ghostly choir-like chanting before swiftly returning to the sonic pallet used at the beginning. 

The Hamburg pairing of ANDATA up the ante with 'Bianca Rambo' which starts amidst a whirring of breezy bleepy, clicks and sultry vocals only to then switch lanes altogether to introduce a thrashing, rock-guitar led breakdown. As the VA approaches the halfway mark, Italians Gray Cosmo instil a cool wave of progressive nuance subtlety steering the VA away from the psy-spliced-techno chaos it had garnered early on by way of mystical phonics and corrugated, cosmic musicality. The Middle Eastern inspiration continues with Afterparty in Paradise label head, Chris Morgan. On 'Serenum', the Swiss national opens the beat with an enthralling clash of vocals and gentle strumming sitar lines before introducing a galloping, pulsing bass. 

Emerging Belgian starlet, Marhu delivers yet another vocal-heavy, crisply produced, tempo focused gem with 'Bansuri', admixing delightful pan-pipe overtones with motorised percussion for maximum red-line impact. Roni Martinez provides the hardest cut on the VA with the unrelenting 'Desertica'. It's intense, squat-party like vigour brazenly trounces the whispering, goose-bump inducing lyrics that creep between its pneumatic drum rolls. The stirring, chest-beating inception of Arytmia's 'Fortress' will evoke audio imagery of sci-fi anti-heroes such as Darth Vader or Baron Harkonnen. 

The vivacious melody is underpinned by a bleak, darkly cosmos of droning pads and battle-ready percussion. FORBIDDEN's 'Keep The Faith' swiftly roars into existence, like much of the Serbian's work, by way of a fierce, bass driven melody. As the head of PHASE-2 records, and the only artist on this VA to have released on the label before, Italian producer CHRS is infamous for his brand of jarring but ultimately satisfying techno. The Italian's contribution to the VA titled 'Mental Groovy', encircles the ethos of ARTCORE sublimely. Its hyperactive melody is ignited by piercing sirens, tidal like drum work and harsh wintery synth patterns which sandwich an outrageous vocal sample.

"Daydream" drifts through melodic waves and airy textures, guiding listeners into a world where reality blurs with imagination. Each note unfolds like a fleeting thought, suspended in time and space.

KL3M - Daydream (Original Mix)

Mekanzm's Afterglow EP is a vivid exploration of contrasts, where tradition meets innovation on the dance floor. Hailing from Lodz, Poland-a city rich with industrial heritage-Mekanzm channels his roots while embracing forward-thinking sounds.

This release showcases his ability to seamlessly weave together influences from classic techno, house, and electro, blending them with the raw energy of UK breaks, garage, and contemporary bass hybrids. Each track offers a unique sonic journey, from the shimmering textures of 'Afterglow' to the pulsating rhythms of 'Clockwork,' the high-energy drive of 'Get 'Em Up,' and the atmospheric grooves of 'Retrograde.'

Adding an extra layer of depth, the EP includes a remix of 'Clockwork' by IBAAN, reimagining the track with his personal approach to rythm and melody through the hypnotic lens.

With Afterglow, Mekanzm continues to explore sound, delivering a dynamic and immersive experience that's as bold as it is captivating.
