A natural follow-up to Breathe In in both sound and meaning, Breathe Out sees a new, healthier and reconnected Armin van Buuren deliver the second and final part of his ninth studio album, Breathe. Inspired by a stronger sense of self, more creativity and an even more dauntless approach to studio work, the album comprises a total of 38 tracks, from chart-topping hits to surprising collaborations (e.g. Pendulum & Rob Swire, Sam Gray, Moby, Bon Jovi) and new tracks, such as Let It Be For Love (feat. Jai Ryu) and Gimme The Love (with Seth Hills, feat. Alessia Labate). It is chockful of sound fusions and expert songwriting, showing that a balanced mind and lifestyle can lead to wonder. Breathe Out really shows how far Ive come, not just as an artist, but as a person. This album is about creative freedom, living fully, and putting everything Ive learned – especially through my journey with mental health and self-growth – into the music. In many ways, it feels like coming full circle. – Armin van Buuren

The undisputed queen of Psy-Trance, Indira Paganotto unveils her first music of 2025, shortly after she announced ARTCORES substantial world tour, kicking off with 6 dates, 3 of those mark the labels debut hosting their own stage at Tomorrowland, Mysteryland and Dreambeach, with each line up carefully curated by Indira. ARTCORE has become a worldwide name when it comes to Psy-Trance, giving a home for artists both established and new, for the first time creating a label and sound that really deserves its own genre - Psy-Techno. A sound that Indira has remained loyal to, pushing to create awareness, and inviting fans to step into a world designed by her creative imagination. Just announced as one of the first ever females to have her own residency at Hi Ibiza, as well as playing Coachella for the first time this April, there is a lot more to be unveiled this year, but first is the promise of brand-new music this March, with a killer 2 track release showcasing some tougher, darker sounds of her recent studio sessions. The distinctly atmospheric, Kalima is a thrilling symphony of dark-psy and techno melodies. Exhilarating from start to finish, the rhythm is driven by emotive synth shots, dynamic percussive fills, and a transcendent vocal component that fortifies an already powerful composition by ARTCOREs inspiring founder. Dune follows and features dramatic trance stabs atop rumbling bass notes alongside a bewitching vocal arrangement. Centred around a captivating, chanting chorus its melody unfurls gradually to incorporate a fierce distortion of harmonics. Two staples in her recent sets.
