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.

Indira has enlisted the trusted services of Dubfire, Marco Faraone and Flug for the killer 6th instalment of the labels creative DUO release series, out on Thursday the 14th August.

At the pinnacle of his games for 30 years, Dubfire needs little introduction. A Grammy winner and maker of classics such as ‘Emissions’ and ‘Ribcage’, the SCI+TEC label founder, and other half of the legendary duo ‘Deep Dish’, Dubfire will make his ARTCORE debut with his long-time collaborator Flug, before joining Indira for her residency at Hï Ibiza on 5TH September joining Cera Khin and Gray Cosmo.

Dubfire and Flug partner up on ‘In Trance’ to deliver a pacy, chugging composition fraught with cosmic tension throughout. A brewing concoction of galactic undertones and driving grooves, the track embodies the heady trance spirit present in much of ARTCORE’s back catalogue whilst still retaining the darker styles of its creators.

Prolific producer Marco Faraone is credited with over 50 releases on a host of key electronic record labels such as Rekids, Drumcode as well as his own UNCAGE imprint. However, his contribution to the forthcoming DUO release will be the first outing for the Tuscan-born house and techno maestro on Indira’s ARTCORE. His opening track, ‘Killa’ stalks into existence in cold and calculated fashion. An undeniable creeper, it features a dark low-end that methodically develops amidst a sparce soundscape of marching drum patterns, churning bass chords and simmering pad effects.

Marco’s second track on the EP titled ‘Artcore Sessions’, pays homage to the label’s ethos. Employing the vocal talents of H.A.N whose sonorous vocals bob along upon swells of shadowy synth lines, choppy percussive drive and kick heavy breakdowns.

Flug first appeared on ARTCORE in 2024 with his track ‘Racing Cars’. That same year, the Argentine released Magma EP with Dubfire marking the pair’s first collaboration and precursor to their debut DUO release. In August, he also made his debut for Indira’s residency at Hï Ibiza playing alongside Ben Klock, Clara Cuvé, and Nuke.

The second collab track with Dubfire, which also closes out this talent heavy EP comes in the form of ‘Weightless’. They both fuse tensely wound rhythms, off-kilter chords and serene pad effects to concoct a breezy, gravity defying composition that showcases both producer’s ability to craft nuanced electronic music to rival that of the more pummelling.

Next up on Kuukou is a well-rounded 2-tracker from Barcelona based Lluis Ribalta. After a highly prosperous two decades in the industry including more than 40 world chart hits - the lauded producer takes things right back to the fundamentals with some refined, effective Techno.

'Phoenix' kicks the record off with some high pressure, pneumatic force. Formidable power is generated from very few elements across a harsh, otherworldly excursion as bright, metallic signals beam out rendering the topography of a dystopian planet. Hats sync with the kick, ratcheting up tension as the groove drills further and further down, generating the magnetic pull of a black hole as it travels. 

'Moksha' is pulled along by a thick, throbbing bass line that acts as a ballast for the track while expressive low-end synths snarl and rip their way through the base of the groove. A rugged foundation is laid for catchy, spectral vocals that will hook the dance floor as tension escalates towards a deep, expansive breakdown. A broken beat kicks and snaps while brooding strings sweep overhead before the energy reaches a peak, bringing a potent pair of club tracks to a close.
