A tastemaker that takes over every stage she performs at, Indira Paganotto landed in California for a two-weekend performance in the desert at Coachella Music Festival. The Spanish DJ and producer leads a younger generation of artists with her influential Psy-Techno sound and her label ARTCORE Records.
We chatted with “Psymama” herself after a long and hot day, where she debuted her high-speed and powerful melodies at the Yuma Tent. Shortly after, the ARTCORE label head joined HEKATE’s founder, Sara Landry, and EXHALE’s label lead, Amelie Lens, to make history during a surprise closing b2b2b at the DoLab stage during Weekend 1.
EDMTunes: What was the preparation like for this set?
Indira: I didn’t really change anything; no matter where I play, I always keep the preparation and vibe the same. I think it’s important to keep my style true to what I love.
EDMTunes: Is it intimidating to bring your sound to a show you’re playing at for the first time?
Indira: I didn’t feel intimidated, as I play a lot of shows in the US, and we have just had another two big ARTCORE showcases in New York and Miami, so I know we have people here that love the sound. But it’s nice to play somewhere new, as you never know who will end up discovering you for the first time.
EDMTunes: Do you prepare differently for a festival set vs an ARTCORE showcase?
Indira: As we take ARTCORE to festivals, it applies to whether we are playing a club or a festival. I always play a lot of ARTCORE tracks in all of my sets, so they work for any event. People know the sound of the label and therefore, I want them to be excited to hear the sound they support.
EDMTunes: Can we expect an official release for that Sara Landry ft. LEGZDINA ‘Pressure’ remix?
Indira: Yes, you can! The remix will be out in May, but we have yet to announce the date, so everyone needs to keep an eye on socials for that.

EDMTunes WOW! The legendary Psymama b2b Sara Landry b2b Amelie Lens was an auditory banquet. How did it feel being part of the Blood Oath?
Indira: WOW! What a moment for each of us, and also Coachella. It was amazing being part of an all-female b2b2b. I think that we really brought something new, exciting and full of energy for everyone to close out their Saturday during weekend 1. The crowd was with us the whole way, I loved it.
EDMTunes Are you ready for your summer residency at Hi-Ibiza?
Indira: Yes! We have come so much around this residency this summer, it’s been a very big but exciting project. What we are bringing to the club and the island is new, as my goal is to make the experience of going to a club opulent and sexy, rather than dark and sweaty. I think we will achieve this, having seen the booth and room designs. I can’t wait for everyone to see it on the 4th of July when we open.
EDMTunes: In 3 words, describe what we can expect from your upcoming debut album?
Indira: My life story
