Missing Pieces

Feed The Fire - Missing Pieces

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.

After being away from the progressive rock scene for quite some time, guitarist and songwriter Wouter van der Veen (known from Armed Cloud and Steelyard) makes his comeback with Mirror Mirage: a dynamic new project that captures the essence of classic influences while forging a distinctive sound for today's audience.

Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Rainbow, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen, Mirror Mirage crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, appealing to long-time fans of the genre and new listeners alike. Prepare for heavy riffs, melodic vocals, grooving drums and ominous keys.

Inspiration for the name Mirror Mirage comes from one of the tracks from Armed Cloud. In addition, Mirror Mirage has to do with “seeing or wanting to see something that is not really there or isn’t real”. It’s about illusion, dreams, hopes and goals. Very applicable to the subjects of the songs that feature on the brand new and very first EP: Missing Pieces.
