On Sunday, July 13, at the grand finale of EXIT’s landmark 25th edition, Indira will take the stage solo at the iconic mts Dance Arena before teaming up with Sara Landry for an exclusive back-to-back set. This electrifying collaboration brings together two artists redefining the global techno scene.
This world premiere is also a global exclusive that fans from around the world will only be able to witness at EXIT, either in person at the Petrovaradin Fortress or via livestream, as electronic music history is written live on stage.
Indira Paganotto has never followed the rules — she’s redefined them. Raised in a home filled with the sounds of opera and goa trance, she learned early on that rhythm doesn’t belong to just one world. While others imagined what the scene might be, Indira lived it, digging through her father’s (himself a former DJ) vinyl collection and soaking in club energy before doors even opened. She released her first vinyl at just 17, already signaling that she wouldn’t be confined to one genre or one generation.
What she’s built over time isn’t just a signature sound but an entire sonic universe — genre-defying, intense, and worthy of the nickname “Psy Mama.” Her psy-techno doesn’t seduce through trends but through emotional depth. Tracks like “Legend,“ “Gipsy Queen,“ “Himalaya,“ “Diabla,“ “Angels Never Die,“ and “Blackbird SR-71“ may follow a techno structure, but each one is a personal manifesto — introspective raves that stand alone as powerful journeys. Her latest studio release, the Kalima EP, adds to this catalogue with two dark, atmospheric tracks, “Kalima“ and “Dune,“ pushing her evolving sound even further.
Her artistic philosophy took physical form in 2023 with the launch of ARTCORE. Not just a label, but a movement, ARTCORE is a multimedia platform for fearless, next-gen artists who ignore trends and seek no validation. Through events, music releases, and a visually distinctive merch line, Paganotto has shaped ARTCORE into a living, breathing force within the music industry, whose highlight was a record-breaking, sold-out No Sleep x ARTCORE party in Belgrade, the final stop of her global tour. That unforgettable night sealed her emotional bond with fans, her “warriors,” and as she put it on social media, “EXIT changed [her] life.”
Indira’s connection with the Serbian audience wasn’t born overnight. At her EXIT debut in 2022, she made an instant impact, imprinting her rhythm on every soul dancing at the packed NSNS stage. The following year, she captivated the mts Dance Arena with equal ease, delivering a memorable solo set followed by a B2B session with Nina Kraviz. Every time she steps on stage, Paganotto offers more than just beats — her sound, energy, and intuition take the audience on a profoundly personal ride, knowing exactly when to lift them up or let them groove.
This year’s final night in the Temple of Electronic Music promises to be unforgettable. Indira Paganotto and Sara Landry’s world-premiere B2B set isn’t just one of the most anticipated performances in the festival’s 25 years but a historic meeting of two forces shaping the future of rave. This epic closing of EXIT’s landmark edition will mark the beginning of a bold new chapter in global techno and a moment not to be missed.
