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.
A Statement of Intent
It’s a statement of intent — art as a lover, intimate yet explosive on the dancefloor. From the opening track “Sweet Tempest,” listeners are immediately pulled into a vortex of high-energy percussion and sharp synth stabs. As a result, the tone is set for a record that refuses to stand still.
Meanwhile, “Momento” shifts the energy into a hypnotic groove. Its rolling bassline and subtle acid touches invite a deeper, more contemplative atmosphere.
In contrast, “El Mago” (The Magician) leans into mysticism. Arpeggiated synth layers glide over a steady four-on-the-floor rhythm, while “Hello I Love You” introduces a pop-leaning vocal hook that feels both catchy and club-ready.
Finally, the second single “Crush” highlights Paganotto’s precision. Punchy low-end and razor-sharp leads deliver an instantly recognizable hook without sacrificing underground credibility.
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
“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.
