ARTCORE RECORDS Psy-Trance
AD7USTMENT returns with 'Free From Past And Future', a six-track EP landing on ARTCORE on 19th March 2026. Built around urgency, pressure and movement, the release captures a sound rooted in techno's foundations while pushing firmly into Psy-driven, industrial territory. Each track carries its own intensity, reflecting an artist drawing from over three decades inside electronic music culture while remaining focused on present-day dancefloor function. Opening track, 'Dopamine', sets the tone immediately, combining thumping low end with tightly swung grooves and a restless Psy influenced bassline. The track sits in a unique space between techno and garage, showcasing AD7USTMENT's ability to merge rhythmic identities without compromising clarity or impact. 'Testosterone' follows with darker intent, layering rolling percussion, cavernous space and a commanding vocal that cuts cleanly through the mix, reinforcing the EP's peak-time focus while nodding to the raw character of early techno. 'Oxytocin' deepens the atmosphere, introducing jittering vocal fragments and sci-fi-leaning synth textures that build tension without sacrificing momentum. The title track, 'Free From Past And Future', stands as the EP's central statement, delivering relentless drive through rippling basslines, industrial textures and evolving arrangement, culminating in an unexpected acid-led breakdown that heightens its dancefloor impact. 'No Hate' introduces distorted, robotic elements and mechanical intensity, pushing the EP further into industrial terrain while maintaining rhythmic precision. Closing track '12 October' completes the journey with unrelenting momentum, blending Psy techno urgency and layered percussion into a final peak time weapon designed for late night systems. AD7USTMENT's relationship with techno dates back to 1988, shaped by formative years between Germany and Spain and reinforced through early exposure to pioneering artists including Ricardo Villalobos. His productions reflect a long-term commitment to rhythm, energy and evolution, combining percussive instinct with forward-thinking sound design. Each release builds on that foundation, reinforcing his identity as an artist focused on physical, immersive club experiences. ARTCORE continues to position itself at the forefront of cutting-edge techno, supporting artists who challenge structure, while remaining rooted in dancefloor purpose. 'Free From Past And Future' reflects that ethos, presenting a cohesive body of work defined by intensity, control and clear creative direction.
ARTCORE RECORDS Psy-Trance
MARHUs first EP to be released on the 26th September draws inspiration from Japanese and Indian instruments, blended with Psy-Trance for a truly unique release. Whilst growing up in Brussels, MARHU would regularly attend long-standing clubbing institution, Fuse. Citing the seminal electronic music venue as the catalyst to her discovering the sound she deals in today. Once her musical calling came, she departed from her career as a horse rider after studying music production at the esteemed SAE School of Music in Brussels. Never one to rest on her laurels, MARHU amped up her already unrelenting work rate and seized her opportunity to press forward. With a back catalogue that now includes stand out releases on Fe Chrome, Arkhum Audio, HE.SHE.THEY and Electric Ballroom - plus notable performances at festivals such as I Love Techno, Extrema Outdoor, Dour Festival, Deviate Festival, Bricks Festival and Love Parade the Belgian starlet is now a member of Indira Paganottos travelling band of ARTCORE showcase residents. Debuting on ARTCORE OFFSónar 2024 Vol.1 earlier this with year Bansuri, MARHU will drop her Bhajan EP on September 26th via ARTCORE Records. Lead track Bhajan enters with a short, enchanting vocal prior to the introduction of galloping, frenzied bass notes, glitch effects and rave-motifs only to then simmer down and plateau to make way for a patchwork of beautiful middle eastern vocals that remain a constant across this evocative 3-track debut, plus a creative DJ Tool. When the brooding introduction on Shringara slows a wave of psy-imbued euphoria hits steering the pacy melody and turbo charged vocal lines through alternating measures of hard-style percussion, middle eastern woodwind effects and soaring techno musicality. Himari offers up an unrelenting pallet of quick-fire drumming and oscillating baseline with a side of breaks, hoover effects and even more gloriously delivered ancient, ambient vocal lines that ease this pummelling composition to a close. To finish this deeply vivid EP, she delivers a DJ Tool in the form of Michi where she integrates the mesmerising wood wind of the mizmar, an Egyptian wind instrument found in middle eastern music.
ARTCORE Records continues to carve a niche sound, their own trademark genre of Psy-Techno, with a string of chart topping releases whether in VA format, solo EPs, singles or the creative new DUO release format. Two of the label strong female artists return this April, for a 4 track EP from Giorgia Angiuli and BEC. Giorgia Angiulis has been an evergreen presence on the global live circuit for over a decade. With a style thats shaped by her history as a professional composer and multi-instrumentalist, Angiulis perception of the ARTCORE template brings her back for her third outing and to follow up on her 2024 VA contribution Rising. BECs remarkable rise within the electronic dance world is the result of tenacity and talent. She was head hunted early in her career and has since featured her music on labels including Nina Kravizs Trip, SPFDJs Intrepid Skin and BPitch, plus her own label EMBARGO, a label she launched with a debut collaboration with KiNK. The Berlin based DJ returns to ARTCORE for the first time since her single in 2024 was featured on one of the labels VAs. The EP opens with Giorgia Angiulis We Dream in the Same Language which employs warm vocals across frenetic dance stabs and mechanicalized break downs. As unrestrained drums beat ceaselessly, zipping effects and metallic flowing synths flicker to see out the EP with a sound that perfectly blends a mix of hard, European dance styles. Bouncing bass and starry melodics broaden the EPs sonic appeal on BECs Cherry Dagger. A gliding melody that punches and swirls in unison with wavey overtones helps to define this rave imbued track that ebbs and flows amidst skittering cymbals and volatile, tremolo effects. BEC and Giorgia Angiuli unite on Seeker, combining their faultless studio chops together for the first time. Unsettling and stirring, the pair work in tandem to unleash a dancefloor monster cast from an orchestra of apocalyptic low-end elements - such as a ponderous baritone bass and low-pitched ceremonial drumming. The tracks end-of-days-like narrative is accentuated further by swerving vehicle effects and drones that ominously hover atop the beat. Giorgia Angiulis Warriors of Light delivers a celestial mix of trance-like ambiences that are underpinned by a linear techno pattern. Sliced, monastic vocals chant as slews of menacing riffs rain down across a reverberating soundscape of shuddering bass, thunderous claps, and intoxicating grooves. A rumbling euphony of pace-setting melodies triggers the beginning of BECs Loca Mania in unapologetic style. Choppy percussion, howling sirens and liquidised synths add a dystopian texture to a composition which barrels through jittery rhythm sections with no remorse aside a pair of sporadically dotted vocal components.
Funk Tribu will make his ARTCORE debut this December with a new EP Viento. The twotrack release flawlessly showcases the Columbians 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 Beatports venerable dance charts. This year, he secured his first No.1 position with I Want Your Love, a collaboration with Oliver Heldens 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 Tribus first outing on Indira Paganottos 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. Itll 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. Its 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 rapid fire percussion takes hold to close out yet another wonderfully eclectic ARTCORE debut.
