Funk Tribu will make his ARTCORE debut this December with a new EP ‘Viento’. The two-track release flawlessly showcases the Colombian’s ability to fuse elements of techno and trance in order to cultivate his signature “retro futuristic” sound.
 
Since coming to prominence, Funk Tribu has enjoyed a number of high-ranking positions on Beatport’s venerable dance charts. This year, he secured his first No.1 position with ‘I Want Your Love’, a collaboration with Oliver Helden’s and DIøN. While previous releases such as ‘Drummers’, ‘Phonky Tribu’ and ‘Platinum’ have peaked at No.15, No.4 and No.36 respectively.
 
Whilst the Viento EP marks Funk Tribu’s first outing on Indira Paganotto’s highly regarded label, the Bogotá native has already featured on a number of leading labels in the hard dance scene including Teletech, A Million / Groove Attack, Heldeep Records, and 44 Label Group. 
 
It’ll be fair to say that 2024 has also been somewhat of a breakout year for the young producer in regard to performing. Having been invited to record his first Boiler Room broadcast prior to the release of his anxiously anticipated debut album, ‘Against All Odds’, he headed to Amsterdam to host Intercell x Funk Tribu Invites at ADE before crossing the Atlantic for a North America tour comprising dates in Toronto, Los Angeles, Mexico City and New York. Whilst in his adopted home city of Berlin, his Speedmaster event series continues to blossom in popularity with its final show of the year at Watergate having already sold out. 
 
Launching with title track, ‘Viento’ provides a neon-lit rush from beginning to end whilst boasting a dulcet mix of galloping drum patterns, simmering pads and a delightful flute like melody. It’s both thrilling and somewhat serene in equal parts delivering an unpredictable jaunt through an unnerving, whimsical soundscape made up of both fanciful overtones and daunting bass.
 
‘When The Sun Goes Down’ features on the flip and sees out this impressive debut with panache. Surging from the off by way of a fierce clap and kick combination, a rush of flanging ambience soon washes over the initial beat before a potent mix of grandiose strings and rapidfire percussion takes hold to close out yet another wonderfully eclectic ARTCORE debut.

In 2022, Indira Paganotto established ARTCORE with a clear vision in mind. The primary aim behind creating this label was to acknowledge and elevate the unique sound associated with Indira, which, until then, had not found a suitable representation in any existing label. It's widely recognized that this distinctive sound has been gaining rapid popularity and is finally receiving the recognition it rightfully deserves.

However, it's essential to note that ARTCORE will not be confined to a single genre. Instead, the emphasis will be on preserving authenticity and ensuring high-quality musical output. The label will serve as a platform that celebrates artistic expression, relevance, and musical heritage. Also, ARTCORE enables the opportunity for artists to be mentored directly by Indira is at the core of ARTCORE.
