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.

Simone Zino returns to Ratis Records with a powerful new three-track EP. As the owner of Ratis, Zino makes a statement with a diverse and high-impact collection that explores different shades of Techno while staying true to his unmistakable sound. Opening the EP is "Labyrinth", a hypnotic and groovy journey marked by rolling rhythms, intricate percussions, and a deep, trippy atmosphere that pulls the listener into its maze-like structure. Next is "90s", a full-bodied, groove-driven track that channels the raw energy and attitude of classic 90s Techno while updating it with Zinos modern production edge. Its a floor-filler with character and punch. Closing the release is "Apocalisse", a melodic and emotionally charged piece that builds tension through dramatic synth work and cinematic sound design, offering a more introspective take on the Techno spectrum. Simone Zinos return to his own imprint is both a nod to his roots and a fresh step forward, showcasing his versatility and refined approach to contemporary Techno.

Simone Zino - Labyrinth

Lola Cerise was always destined for a career in music. Growing up in France, a young Cerise would spend her formative years learning the piano before the lure of hard beats and illegal parties introduced her to a culture that would change her life forever. 

Renowned for her ability to seamlessly merge only the toughest of dance codes during her boundary pushing live sets, Lola Cerise’s music embodies her storied personal history comprehensively. It’s this impassioned energy that courses through her DNA that’s fuelled her music making earning her releases on Gomboc Records, Comme des les films, Khazad Records and Record Union as well as appearances on important channels such as, HÖR Berlin and BCCO. 

After performing on numerous line-ups together, Lola Cerise is now set to debut on Indira Paganotto’s formidable ARTCORE Records imprint with ‘I Don’t Speak German’ EP which will land on 15th May. 

Opening track, ‘Stop Stealing My Socks’ begins somewhat outlandishly with Lola Cerise packing a fantastically diverse palette of effects into an otherwise tense soundscape of charging drum fills and spaced-out pads that provide the foundations to this hallucinatory, shapeshifting melody. On ‘Less Cheese In My Raclette’, the wonderfully cartoonish energy continues as fierce breakdowns meet a mix of ‘downer’ synth lines that frivolously dance and skip whilst a whirring siren bass relentless churns beneath fierce, snappy and gnarling percussion. 

It’s clear that Lola Cerise’s has channelled her playful side into her debut ARTCORE EP as she forges on with the peculiar (but still incredibly fitting) track titles. When ‘Is That What You Wanted Mummy’ begins it brings with it an ‘edge of chaos’ suspense as unrestrained measures of high-octane, psy-infused techno rumble ominously whilst the arrival of a manic vocal sample busts opens the door to a cacophony of far out, low-end elements. As the EP tips into the second act, ‘EROTOMANIA’ emerges to a chorus of war-ready chanting whilst a fierce medley of thick kicks, pulsing bass and droning chord notes interrupt proceedings to form the track’s core before even more of the guttural vocal components that opened the track are reintroduced. A metallic, clunking opens ‘Humans Smell Rain Better Than Sharks’ before the track breaks and unfurls into a speedy but creeping composition defined by its spidery synth arrangements, coarse cymbals and ruggedly chopped vocal components. 

Closing out this ingenious off-centre EP is ‘You Look Ugly When You Drink Whiskey’ which urgently sets off using a combination of eccentric overtones, breathless vocal components and effervescent percussive drive that perilously thunders through a dramatic series of energy shifts to see out the release in a vibrant, off the wall style.

SAMOH - Step It Up

Earlier this year, ARTCORE took another bold step into a new and innovative direction with the first release of its DUO series. So far Avan7, Becker, Interactive Noise, Marhu, Valentinø, Giorgia Angiuli and BEC have all featured as part of this new concept – in which two artists are selected to feature on one EP.

ARTCORE DUO IV see’s CHRS and SUMIA join forces, with 2 tracks each to be released on the 5th June. CHRS, a Sicilian artist who is no stranger to the label, is also a resident and label manager of Phase 2. With shows this year in his home of Catania, Phase 2’s Festival as well as Hi Ibiza, his sound is trace, with groove and experimental touches, all elements he’ll add to an exciting remix planned for a historic artist later this year. 

SUMIA, also known as Turkey’s “Princess Of Hard Dance”, is the founder of charity event ‘Stronger Together’ and the Volx community Records owner. She says her sound is currently evolving, and this release leans more towards a trance/bounce direction, whilst she embarks on a new concept to perform her own tracks totally live during her DJ sets at some of her upcoming shows this summer in Rome, Serbia and Japan.

SUMIA opens the release with ‘Kill Mia’. An alarm like synth provides the foundation of the melody which begins with the classic ‘trill’ transition accompanied by rotating bass notes, shotgun claps and whispering vocals.

CHRS employs the incredible vocals from Revia on ‘Missing Pieces’. The track showcases his trademark sound, with a pacy concoction of supercharged percussive power and thrumming pad effects open before the soulful vocals begin to flow to provide nuance, whilst a potent core of dramatic synth fills rumble coldly beneath.

SUMIA didn’t earn her title of her ‘Hardcore Princess’ by accident. On ‘Fisiltiar’, she expertly fuses fierce bass chops and imposing drums with a reverberating, siren like effect. But, out of almost nowhere, a charming stringed chorus intercepts before the melody takes its final drop and bursts with shockwaves of electric musicality.

CHRS closes the release with ‘Inside The Heart’. A venture into drum n bass / neurofunk territory, offering an adrenaline fuelled ride through a counter-current of amen drum patterns, melancholic stabs and serene, euphonious vocal elements. A beautifully linear soundscape that delivers a whole new and welcome audio experience for the ARTCORE faithful. 

ARTCORE DUO IV featuring tracks from SUMIA and CHRS will be released on ARTCORE on the 5th June.
