Indira Paganotto and her ARTCORE imprint stand out from the crowd with an exponential sense of uniqueness, front-running pioneers of the new Psy-influenced techno boom. Indira's upcoming release 'Gypsy Queen' is another perfect example of how she has garnered so much love and support for her unique vibe and ethos to date. Title track 'Gipsy Queen' begins in eccentric fashion. A gentle strumming of flamenco guitar lines, a distorted chorus of castanets and an enchanting vocal open the track to remain a key feature throughout waves of razor-sharp synths and hurtling drums sequences. The dips in pace are beautifully accompanied by the stirring vocals but before long the flamenco influences are overrun by the trance-tinged techno Indira is famous for. The out of body like energy summoned by the strings and haunting effects of 'Vendetta' offer a different audio experience to that offered by the EP's title track. With a visceral intensity that becomes more acute following each drop there are several curious effects and tones at play to make for a somewhat dramatic techno heavy melody. Opening the flip side is 'Heaven Is For Warriors', this comes in hot with thumping drum grooves and crisp percussive drive, supplemented by ominously celestial undertones and rave-inspired musicality throughout-a sinister tirade of punchy electronic grit, marching to a racy tempo built for peak-time sets. The release closes on 'Requiem', further playing on the darkened divine theme throughout the EP. Beyond it's atmospheric intro, you're greeted with a marauding flurry of watertight Techno goodness layered with synths, sirens, pads and much more. There's no denying Indira's oneness when considering groundbreaking techno talents; This EP serves as a solid reminder of her commitment to trailblazing a path into the genre's new and exciting age.
