Trailblazing Spanish techno DJ and producer Indira Paganotto inaugurates her new label Artcore with a vigorous EP. Spanning a distinctive fusion of techno, psytrance and flamenco, the imprint’s stellar debut showcases Indira’s free-spiritedness and
open-minded approach to making music.

An outpost exclusively for her own productions, the launch follows a string of releases via prominent techno labels KNTXT, Second State and Octopus Records. Driven to present her artistic evolution to the world, followers can expect to find Indira shrewdly combining her techno skills with more instrumentals, as well as unique genre clashes.

"For me, my music is a state of trance,” Indira explains. “Each track has to tell a lot of stories with sensitivity and romanticism while looking backwards to our roots and forwards to visions of the future. My Guns & Horses EP is a mixture of my 12-year career, my experiences in different
countries, my love for Asian culture and respect for my Spanish roots - flamenco!!! It also speaks of my passion for psytrance, a gift inherited from my father who spent more than ten years in India and was the one who instilled this sound and lifestyle in me.”

Opening track 'Jambo', is a slick roller which sees techno meet flamenco and a Spanish gypsy essence. Rippling with sounds that reach across frenetic flamenco guitar playing and psychedelic basslines, it’s one of Indira’s most distinct works to date.

This is a live recording of a track from my liveset. The original horn sound is from the 1991 record Egyptian Empire - The Horn Track. I have no idea where they got it from, but it also appeared on a record I played a lot and still have, Photek - Age of Empires.

Nouvelle track dispo !

C'est une track qui commence à dater un peu qui est restée assez minimaliste.
J'espère qu'elle vous plaira.

The idea for this track came up during a Walpurgis bonfire. A little crazy, as always. What do you think?

Like a Potion

Ever since her earliest releases, Marhu has always demonstrated a willingness to push creative boundaries. After appearing as an 'emerging act' on Beatportal's radar in 2022, the Belgian DJ/producer’s career began to take shape and her journey to become a regular face amongst ARTCORE Records’ supremely gifted roster had begun.

In 2024, Marhu appeared on ARTCORE’s OFFSónar 2024 VA with her track ‘Bansuri’, followed up with the 4-track ‘Bhajan’ EP, drawing inspiration from a wonderful mix of traditional Japanese and Indian instruments in the process. 

Earlier this year, Marhu was selected to feature alongside Valentinø on ARTCORE DUO II as part of the label’s forward thinking DUO Series – a concept which sees different artists feature on a single EP release. Whilst more recently, Marhu collaborated with Mexico’s Interactive Noise to produce the incredible ‘Sonic Ninja’ which was included on Paganotto’s most recent label VA offering, ARTCORE OFFSónar 2025.

On 11th September, Marhu returns with a new two track EP titled ‘Mamichula’, with the title track featuring the vocals of MC Arlene. “The Moment I heard MC Arelen’s incredible vocal, I was hooked. Collaborating with her on Mamichula has been pure fire. I love blending worlds with talented artists from other genres, and working with Arlene was an inspiring experience from start to finish.”

‘Mamichula’ steers proceedings into familiar territory with Marhu once again merging leftfield influences with pulsing electronic musicality. Once Arelen’s opening gambit concludes, a hot rush of revolving synth and bass notes begin to loop around a bellowing accordion lead, even more of Arelen’s Latin-led vocals, and a dextrous blend of driving techno and psy-trance.

B-side, ‘Solo Si Puedes Papi’ completes the release with the same flamenco imbued heat as it opened, further blending world heritage sounds with electronic music. A whiplash of shimmering melodics and stomping percussion distils to half time aside a tough-talking vocal component and warm woodwind led melody before surging back to full-speed and closing the EP in fervent fashion.
