As a resident artist of ARTCORE Records, the label founded by Indira Paganotto, Marhu will perform at the ARTCORE showcases starting in 2024. She recently released “Bansurí” on a VA compilation from ARTCORE Records. Bansurí is a crisply produced , tempo-focused gem with delightful flutes overtones, a track that reached the 2nd place in the Psy Trance Top Tracks on Beatport, with more releases anticipated.
Earlier this year Marhu released “La Monnaie” on Electric Ballroom, inspired by Brussels’ opera monument which was a fusion between classical, orchestral music and techno.
Recognized as an emerging act on Beatportal’s radar in 2022, Marhu is hailed as one of Belgium’s most promising DJs and producers. Her DJ sets prioritize storytelling, engaging audiences with positivity and energy.
Performances at venues and festivals like Extrema Outdoor, Dour Festival, Rex Club, and Love Parade Berlin have captivated audiences. Her 2024 gigs at Close Weekend in Oberhausen, I Love Techno in Montpellier, and Bricks Festival in Toulouse highlight her as a rising star to watch.
From the brooding beginnings of ‘Baba Baby’ it becomes clear that whilst VALENTINØ has sought to embody the ARTCORE aesthetic within the EP title track, he is just as earnest in his commitment to producing fast and unsparing techno. Following a cocktail of deftly layered drums comes the crackling of fireworks to signal take-off for a mercurial rush through a dark lunar journey dispersed by unearthly vocals, frazzling synths, and pummelling bass.
Up next, ‘My Mind’ wastes no time in thundering into gear with bruising intensity and little sympathy for those unprepared. VALENTINØ’s cerebral understanding of his craft allows for a distinct take on quintessential techno as off-kilter drum-breaks and eyebrow raising effects – such as the “surprise” – add oodles of character and dashes of colour to an otherwise shadowy soundscape.
It’s clear why VALENTINØ’ has been selected for the boundary pushing imprint’s next release as looks to further establish her already compelling reputation through ARTCORE’s artist roster.
