Following 2019’s Inside, VC-118A returns to Delsin to present his fourth album, Spiritual Machines. It marks an exciting shift in focus for Samuel van Dijk as his flagship project nears a decade skirting the deeper ends of techno and electro.

Over the past two and half years, van Dijk forensically reviewed the key aspects of his production process as he dug down in search of the essence of the VC-118A sound. By creating his own complement of sample banks, software racks and devices, van Dijk was able to work with a hybridised analogue-digital system purely of his own making. Less in thrall to the strict rigours of techno and electro standards, Spiritual Machines’ 13 album tracks encompass more fluid shifts into abstract and downtempo, dub-inflected realms, without losing sight of the elements that have made VC-118A so compelling from the beginning.

Burnished machine soul, aqueous atmospherics and immaculate drum programming abound, but in the mellow, enveloping sound world of Spiritual Machines you can hear van Dijk guiding his music into a broader form that sounds at once more assured and more inspired.

Antonio Ruscito -  Prima Imaginne - Edit Select Remix

Number 6 of Estroe's Rosedale Records brings you a release by Estroe herself.
The titles of the tracks expresses Estroe's love for nature. Myosotis Arvensis (Field Forget Me Not) and Tanacetum Parthenium (Feverfew) are two of her favourite flowers which bloom in June, the month of the release date.

Two highly regarded friends and fellow producers were invited for the remix honours, Berlin based Glitterbug and (music) BFF Nadia Struiwigh.

Estroe's original mix of Myosotis Arvensis starts with a simple but intriguing bassline and slowly builds amidst delicate, melodic patterns and lush, orchestral strings as if the flowers themselves are opening one by one. Her natural sense of groove prevails in the bassline throughout this meadow of fresh, early summer sound.

Tanacetum Parthenium (original) has an edgier feel to it. Again it is groove driven by a distinctive bassline but is awash with a tense, almost organic background and with darker percussive shots. Brooding orchestral swells bring to the track a sense of salient anxiety.

Glitterbug's Desperate Times remix of Myosotis Arvensis has an orchestral and cinematic quality. Deep sustained bass notes and a fluid and metallic rhythm drive this track along elegantly. The smooth solemn strings and glistening pads wrap this track in a cloak of sonic grace.

His other remix on the ep, Glitterbug's That Very Moment remix is a sublime piece of aural architecture. Ambient, emotional and with a heartbeat bass drum, it encapsulates the very moment one is struck by the tranquillity of seeing something beautiful. The strings in this track ebb and flow like serene breaths of cool air whilst the soft piano shimmers like early morning dew.

Always one to explore the deeper side of a track, like a botanist in a lab, Nadia Struiwigh dissects the original Tanacetum Parthenium and creates a remix which exemplifies her style. She creates a dark and pulsating mix of throbbing bass drums, cavern like reverbs and ominous, overdriven grooves that build the track perfectly.
