Indira Paganotto’s debut album “ARTE Como Amante” (Art as A Lover) lands on January 30, 2026, marking a bold new chapter for the Spanish techno‑psychedelic powerhouse. Released through ARTCORE / [PIAS] Électronique, the twelve‑track record distills more than a decade of studio work into a single, immersive journey that fuses driving techno with psychedelic textures, melodic hooks and vocal flourishes.
It’s a statement of intent: art as a lover, a relationship that’s as intimate as it is explosive on the dancefloor . From the opening “Sweet Tempest”, listeners are thrust into a swirling vortex of high‑energy percussion and bright synth stabs, setting the tone for a record that refuses to sit still.
“Momento” follows with a hypnotic groove, its rolling bassline and subtle acid lines inviting a deeper, more contemplative vibe.
“El Mago” (The Magician) adds a touch of mysticism, layering arpeggiated synths over a steady four‑on‑the‑floor kick, while “Hello I Love You” injects a pop‑sensible vocal sample that’s both catchy and club‑ready.
The album’s second single, “Crush”, Its punchy low‑end and razor‑sharp leads showcase Paganotto’s knack for creating instantly recognizable hooks without sacrificing underground credibility.
“Warriors” and “This Is ARTCORE” then plunge deeper into the darker, more industrial side of her sound, with distorted bass and relentless rhythmic pressure that will feel at home in any peak‑time set.
The title track “Arte como amante”
featuring Nile Rodgers on guitar—bridges techno and funk, delivering a Latin‑infused groove that’s both timeless and cutting‑edge. Rodgers’ signature guitar chops weave through Paganotto’s pulsating beats, creating a cross‑generational anthem that’s already generating buzz across festival circuits
*“Disney” offers a whimsical break, engaging vocals with playful, creative melodies and a lighter, almost cinematic feel, with very high energetic beats that gets anyone hooked from the start till the end, and is considered one of the most anticipated tunes this year from the Album
“Arrogante” returns to a tougher, more aggressive stance, its distorted synths and syncopated drums demanding attention.
“La Patrona” (The Boss) channels a commanding energy, its commanding vocal chops and driving bassline asserting dominance on the floor.
The album closes with “Black Magic”, a dark, hypnotic finale that layers swirling, psychedelic textures over a relentless kick, leaving listeners with a lingering sense of wonder and anticipation for what’s next.
