On May 9th, HardBeats brings something completely new to Slovenia. For the first time, we’re presenting a fresh fusion of sounds that have never hit our dancefloors before: PSY-TECHNO driven by the legendary psymama INDIRA PAGANOTTO, and TechnoMetal, masterminded by Paolo Ferrara. Get ready to experience a night where innovation meets raw energy.

MEET THE ARTISTS

INDIRA PAGANOTO — the one and only PSYMAMA, is one of Spain’s most iconic and recognizable names. Born in 1992 and raised on the Canary Islands, Indira’s sound didn’t come out of nowhere. Her dad was an 80s DJ, and the music she grew up around was wide open: disco, jazz, acid house, goa — all of those influences. That mix is still in her DNA today, and over the past 13 years, she’s become a key force behind psy-techno, pushing a new kind of high-energy, relentless dancefloor experience. What we love most is how her sets feel: elegant, intense, and ridiculously danceable. Hard or soft, there’s always that pulse — that signature PSYMAMA momentum — and the way she blends psy-trance elements into techno is instantly hers. Add the pure joy she brings behind the decks (yes, that constant smile), and it’s no surprise she’s been winning over crowds worldwide.

PAOLO FERRARA - a boundary-pushing Italian DJ and producer, Paolo is the force behind TechnoMetal — a raw fusion of hard techno and metal. His passion for music began early, growing up surrounded by legendary records and platinum discs in his grandfather’s vinyl shop, including icons like Pink Floyd. What started as inspiration quickly turned into a full-blown obsession with sound. Known as Syrion, the “Heavy Destroyer,” Paolo delivers explosive sets filled with crushing drops and unexpected emotional depth. In 2024, his breakout track “Last Resort” reached #1 on the Hard Techno charts, supported by some of the scene’s biggest names. Follow-up releases like “Duality” and “Sweet Dreams” both surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify. Paolo explores the chaos and order of sound in a whole new way. With fierce energy and a vision that breaks rules, he’s reshaping the future of techno.

NUKE - When you hear NUKE, you think of the mastermind behind Spain’s biggest techno event, the CODE parties at Fabrik Club Madrid. But after spending half his life shaping the Spanish techno scene, he’s proven to be much more than just a “resident DJ.” His journey began while studying computer engineering, when he discovered trackers — simple yet powerful tools that sparked his creativity and introduced him to music production. Soon after, he felt the need to play his music live, starting in small parties and clandestine raves. In 2002, he landed his first residency at Surface, the techno events of Groove Dance Club, and launched the radio show Cultura Techno, where he met his partner Cesar Almena. Just months later, they started the CODE parties with Grupo Kapital, quickly growing from Paladium to the legendary Fabrik Club Madrid. Today, 15 years later, CODE is one of Europe’s biggest techno brands, and Nuke stands as its leading force. As a producer, he’s released on labels like Hardgroove (Ben Sims), MB Elektronics (Marco Bailey), Kombination Research (The Advent), and the legendary Harthouse Records, while also managing his own label, Code Records.
