09 Maike Depas - Don't Phonk With Me (Extended Mix) [ARTCORE Records]

A driving force in the techno scene, Spanish producer and DJ Ramiro Lopez has shaped a sound that encompasses techno, acid, urban and even Flamenco, as seen on this standout new release to make his debut on ARTCORE. Accompanied by tracks from an exciting producer from the UK called Tobias Paul, the alias of established house producer Curbi with his take on groove laden techno – the brand new 4 track release will be out on the 17th July. 

Ramiro Lopez makes a welcome to the ARTCORE stable bringing with him esteemed Flamenco guitarist, Miguel Clemente and Andalusian vocalist, Belén Vega. “I had the idea to create a fusion of styles, bringing authentic flamenco vibes into the world of electronic music” adds Ramiro. Both Miguel and Belén are deeply rooted and respected within flamenco tradition, creating something for the open minded and experimental.

Commencing with ‘Ay Candela’, the EP’s opener brilliantly matches the vivid intensity of flamenco with the brooding energy of techno. Whilst pounding, pacy and fierce in parts, Lopez and Paul have made certain the vibrant Latin influences of the tracks Spanish collaborators shine blissfully through the beat’s otherwise heavy, brooding ambience. 

Two tracks on the release are from Tobias Paul, the techno alias of esteemed house producer Curbi. Carving out a groove laden techno sound, this will mark his 3rd release to date, opening with ‘Brazil’, he quickly gets to work delivering a high-octane but obscure concoction of fizzing, whistling effects aside rolls of simmering snare. A chopped vocal bounces in-between thick bass tones and warping synth climaxing with a plume of whooshing melodics and final frenzy of lyrics.

The stringed brilliance of Miguel Clemente and soaring vocals of Belén Vega again take centre stage on ‘Solea’. Following a series of bell chimes comes a deep, galloping percussion and snare combo before a chorus of impassioned vocal lines ring out emotively across slamming cymbals, grumbling melodies and restless, fidgeting hi-hats. 

‘Poseidon’ is an ice-cold solo effort. Doubling down on the visceral potency that fuels much of ARTCORE DUO V, the beat possesses a diligently crafted groove that swirls aside militant drum rolls, pulping rave motifs and hollow tones to close the EP in a shadowy, low-key style.

Unconventional Psytrance Producer from Baden-Württemberg, Germany

My first contact with psytrance was on July 13th, 2018 (a Friday😉)
The idea of ​​producing music myself came to me at the end of the same year. Even though I didn't know anything about music until then and had never had anything to do with music, I quickly understood music (psytrance). It was clear to me that the music doesn't have to be perfect at all, it just has to work and if I bring joy to just one person in the world with a track, then I've achieved everything. This should be manageable, I thought to myself and started to think about producing music until I started setting up my own home studio at the beginning of 2019. Since I had to teach myself everything, the first 3 years were rather slow, because I simply didn't have the knowledge.
So I had to find my own way and it was a lot of trying and since I'm very patient and playful, I gradually managed to create my own workflow, which I called "haphazard workflow". In the summer of 2022 the knot finally seemed to be broken and from then on I produced one track after the other, none of which sound the way you know it, which is simply because I still don't know much about the structure of a track, just like their standards. My music isn't perfect, I know that, but there's an incredible amount of love in it and I think that's the reason why it works🥰🕉️♥️
