Core Memories

Core Memories is the first release of Noria Studio: a collective release and one physical night, both built from the same source.

Eight artists were each asked for three things: a track, a personal memory or feeling connected to it, and a small set of images that carry that inner reference. Not nostalgia, not documentation, but something closer to how remembering actually feels: partial, non-linear, hard to pin down.

What connects them is a shared strain of contemporary underground psytrance, trance and psy techno, as emotionally loaded as it is driving, reaching from Berlin and Leipzig to Amsterdam and Budapest. Together with audiovisual artist Leo Pereiro, the artists' images became the raw material for the visual world of the release and the night.

The record isn't a document of the event, and the event isn't a launch party for the record. They are two states of the same thing. The night is momentary. The record is what stays, the form in which eight personal memories keep existing after the room has emptied.

Tracks are released one by one from 10 November, with the full album out on 27 November 2026 and the release night on 28 November at [119] Berlin.
