Indira Paganotto, a hotly tipped techno artist, joins KNTXT for a new EP that highlights her distinct sound throughout four captivating tracks.
Indira grew up surrounded by colorful, expressive techno and psytrance thanks to her father, who was a DJ in India’s famed Goa scene in the 1990s. Since moving to Madrid to pursue her career, she has applied that to her DJ sets and creations. Indira is now releasing her best EP to date.
I got to know Indira Paganotto when we opened up for demo submissions earlier this year, She immediately caught my attention with her unique take on psy/techno music. It feels very good to have her on board and I’m curious to see what the future holds for her.

‘Takeshi‘, the EP’s first track, is a smooth techno roller laced with psychedelic melodies and brilliant acid lines. As the drums march on, they bleep and squeak up top to produce a mesmerizing effect. Intense psychedelic synths wane about the mix on ‘Sultans Of Mountains‘. As this one unfolds in an arresting fashion, the drums are stripped back and urgent, while crashing impacts and sophisticated filters add real suspense. ‘Himalaya‘, on the other hand, offers a deep and elegant techno vibe, with astral pads and heavenly vocal coos creating a cinematic sound that will enchant the crowd. Last but not least, there’s ‘Cobra‘, an edgy and densely textured track with uncompromising percussion, slapping beats, and futuristic, psytrance-tinged melodies, all designed to screw with your mind.
I understand music as a state of trance where each track develops a journey and a story. Himalaya EP is the reflection of everything I learned since my childhood until today, the heritage and passion for Psytrance, the experiences in India, the connection with nature, as well as the feeling of freedom and strength like the gallop of a horse, the synths of Goa music, the love and the truth, which is what fills my life. Thank you Charlotte for understanding my language in such a true way. Ours is a real connection in such a sincere mental embrace, and I am proud to be part of your KNTXT family and to be able to show everyone who I am.
