2-Sebastian ïral, Stomping Ground - 村 Mura (Original Mix)

Chin Chiller

Continuing to bolster an already rock-solid reputation for ingenuity, ARTCORE’s next release brings together three of Japana’s finest for a triple EP ‘Tokyo Family’. Comprised of 4-tracks, from 4 top producers from Japan, including PARTYMONSTER, Spectra Sonics, Prohecht, Xipe Totecs have all contributed to the release, which will arrive on 9th October.

The four of them are the latest additions to an already inspiring roster on Indira Paganotto’s ARTCORE - bringing their gorgeously high-octane, homegrown styles together for the first time, a special EP celebrating the talent of Japanese musicians.

Spectra Sonics’ beautifully image heavy aesthetic smartly bridges authentic PSY like energy with the pummelling drive of more contemporary PSY and techno stylings. For his acutely futurist offering, ‘Tribes Of Trance’ opens the release, the vibrant beat-craftsman employs a skittish menace of twitching synth atop an uneasy cluster of distorting modulations and billowing grooves.

The duo of Ana and Yuki make up explosive PSY centric collective Xipe Totecs. Integral to developing their beloved sound in the city of Kyoto, the pair are at the centre of an exciting PSY-trance movement and are regular performers at many of the open-air parties their home city plays host to. On their eerily atmospheric number Kagome the duo adds an unnerving twist to the EP. Under a firing onslaught of rumbling low-end and rave oddities, a haunting folklore-like vocal loops around pulsing drums and skipping synth capturing the spirit of urban legend within a pacy, trance rooted framework.

As founder of the same Tokyo vibe starters that share his name, PARTYMONSTER has been an unstoppable force in Japan’s PSY-trance scene. On his track, ‘Nippon’, the influential producer evokes a chorus of traditional Japanese instruments and subtly contorted sonics to open. Following a radiant blur of thunderous bass, riveting kicks and watertight percussion the beat fades to a final crash of whistles and strings to conclude a sprightly label debut. 

The fourth artist and final track of the EP comes from Propecht. Based in Tokyo he has taught himself the fundamentals of software and synths. Collaborating with Spectra Sonics already, he also released on Brazilian psy-trance label SYNK87 Music. ‘System Collapse’ combines jittering synth patterns with broad, sweeping pads concocting a dense, heavy opening and a feeling of feverish anticipation. After the initial break the track unfolds to crescendo of engrossing grooves and charging rhythms whilst a tranquil vocal navigates this resounding tech-trance offering until the closing stages of track.

Cause and Effect

Dive into an expansive sonic journey where the boundaries between mind and matter blur. From the first pulsating kick, Beyond Perception thrusts you into a kaleidoscope of shimmering arpeggios, swirling atmospheres and razor-sharp hi-hats that spark like starlight. With its deep rolling bassline and layered synth textures, the track evokes a sense of weightlessness — as though you’re drifting beyond the visible, riding the crest of a cosmic wave.

Mid-track, the energy lifts: a rising sweep, a breath of airy pads, then a sudden surge of percussion and futuristic leads that crash in like an awakening. This is a track for late nights, moon-lit dance floors and open-air forests: for letting go of logic, surrendering to the beat and allowing the mind to wander beyond what’s seen.

Whether you’re in the mix, at the front row, or simply wearing headphones in your own universe — Beyond Perception invites you to transcend the ordinary. Let the rhythm carry you… and discover what lies beyond your senses.
