CNS 034EP
|
This is the third single from Estroe's Elemental Assets full-length (CNS 003CD), with interpretations by Ripperton and Melon. Ripperton's "Late Night Take #7 Mix" is surprisingly different from his usual productions, and is a piece of very organic, low-slung, addictive groove music. Drifting, melodic patterns and hypnotic keys combined with a phat, low-key bass line provide top-notch spookiness for enlightened dancefloors. Melon's "Winter Depression Remix" is a reduced, percussion-led groover that explores Melon's more melancholic side of things.

CNS 003CD
|
This is the debut full-length release by hotly-tipped Rotterdam-based Estroe. The CD consists of tracks produced by Estroe over the span of a few years, in which she spent a lot of time enhancing her production techniques and developing her creativity. As the artist herself explains: "Some tracks were made in rough times, while others were made under happy circumstances, and perhaps you can tell. For me, music is an emotional vent allowing me to express my feelings and freeing me of my restlessness. This makes the album very personal and I am terribly excited to share it with the world and with you." Directly inspired by her recent life experiences and passions, "Flirtatious Concubine" was produced right after a particularly-inspiring booking in Tokyo, and "Inspirited Away" came to life thinking about two producers who really inspired Estroe: Steve Rachmad and John Beltran. Elemental Assets is reflective of her DJ-work -- full of versatile techno with room for deep undercurrents as well as pure dancefloor work. Her style is warm, subtle, but at the same time very energetic. Two guest vocalists, Miss Kittin and Sam Leigh-Brown, also help lift these delicately-crafted tech-house tracks to the next level.

CNS 033EP
|
Presenting the second single from Estroe's Elemental Assets, with interpretations by Joel Mull and Tedd Patterson. Joey Mull delivers a straight, pumping, but still-melodic dancefloor mover. The "Tedd Patterson Estroe-Glide" rework is a genuine groove-monster that combines classic U.S. techno elements with a strong disco edit feeling. Last but not least, there's the great Detroitish original of "Updraft," which was picked for the add-on CD in the Nov./Dec. issue of Germany's Groove magazine.

"With Estroe from Amsterdam, Neutonmusic is releasing two emotional and exuberant house/techno tracks with handclaps, catchy bass lines and dynamic hi-hats. The remix on the flipside comes from Jamie Anderson, who is currently enjoying the success of NRK''s re-release of his 2004 underground hit 'Time Is Now' featuring a remix from man-of-the-moment, Radio Slave. Jamie has recently collaborated with Jesse Rose for the release of 'Body Jackin' on DJ Hell's Gigolo label. His remix of 'Lovely Sadness' is a 12-minute house workout with a hypnotic, pulsating rhythm and haunting melodies."
