Indira Paganotto is set to release the second single ‘Crush’ from her forthcoming debut album, ‘Arte Como Amante’
Almost a decade and a half in the making, the 13-track project is described as “high-pressure, high-energy and deeply personal”, tracing the DJ and producer’s journey from the Spanish underground to global festival mainstages.
“I know to take 14 years to make an album seems crazy,” Paganotto shared, “but without living those experiences, how could I have made the music about them?”
The second single, ‘Crush’, marks a return to the Spanish titan’s signature sound after her high-profile collaboration with Nile Rodgers, featuring psy-inspired grooves, sassy, spoken vocals and a pummelling low-end. The track is set to arrive alongside an AI music video which features Paganotto as the main character.
The record announcement follows a storming 2025 for the Spanish psy-techno star, including holding down her debut Club Room residency at Hï Ibiza, performing her first ever B2Bs with Armin van Buuren at Sónar and Sara Landry at EXIT, and opening her own creative studio space, ARTOPIA, in Santa Eulalia.
Earlier this year, Paganotto also embarked on a world tour with her ARTCORE brand, starting at Ritoque Quintero in Santiago, Chile ahead of huge shows in New York, Miami and beyond.
‘Crush’ is the second single from Indira Paganotto’s forthcoming album, landing digitally on 31st October via ARTCORE Records/[PIAS] Électronique.
About Indira Paganotto
Born in 1992, today Indira Paganotto is one of Spain’s most prominent figures in the world of music. Her sets are full of energy and undeniable danceability. In the last 13 years she has changed the dance music industry, being the driving force behind a new sound, psy-techno. At the age of just 17 she signed a total of 3 vinyl releases to Ian Pooley’s label Pooled Music, after he discovered her during a warm-up set she played in Gran Canaria. Soon after, she moved to Madrid where she could focus on producing and DJing at a bigger scale.
Her debut collaboration with Nina Kraviz in 2023 for ‘White Horse’ on Trip, also came with the launch of her label ARTCORE with her EP ‘Guns & Horses’. Today, ARTCORE is spearheading the ‘psy-techno’ movement, a genre the label has effectively crafted itself over its last 15 releases. They charge into 2025 with ARTCORE curated stages at the world’s biggest festivals. Indira’s rise has been unstoppable, from remixing Depeche Mode’s ‘People Are Good’ to headlining all major clubs and events, with upcoming performances at Coachella, Tomorrowland, EXIT, Sonar, Awakenings and Mysteryland. But it’s at Monegros she’ll make history as the first woman to ever close the main stage in July and will be taking over Ibiza with her brand-new residency at Hi Ibiza, over 14 weeks of the summer. Although 2025 looks to be her biggest year yet, also with a debut album release, she remains humble and dedicated to her work, with infectious energy and a smile as bright as her fue.
