Estroe dj-sets/guest mixes and podcasts

Hi guys, it's been a while!
Nowadays I'm teaching at a music conservatory and I'm doing a lot of mental coaching of music students and music people in general. (hence the lack of time)
But as I couldn't find a nice techno mix without to much breaks for a  tread mill or for a work out, I figured I might as wel make a mix myself.

Let me know in the comments section if it worked out for you? ;-)

Estroe - Running Techno 136 BPM

It's been a while since you've heard from me, but recently I've been working on a remix for a Dutch artist called Ross Curry.
It was fun working on his track because it's a different genre as where I normally work in.
I've tried to respect the original track as much as I could, using fragments of the vocal and using some of the same melodies but with different sounds.
Hope you enjoy this & looking forward to your feedback!

Some background info about Ross Curry:
Ross Curry came to the attention of Dutch music fans in the early 1990’s when he formed the band Spo Dee O Dee. Based in Amsterdam, lead guitarist Curry was the undisputed leader of the trio which was inspired by the heroes of 60’s and 70’s guitar rock.

Growing up in Liverpool , Ross Curry drank from the water of his powerful influences. His guitar style today carries on the country’s tradition for loose and fluid play. Spo Dee O Dee went to the forefront of the Dutch rock scene with several years of successful touring and two albums “Going Walkabout” (1991) and “Second Coming” (1993).

The closest Spo Dee O Dee came to radio success was the single “Lady Sleep”. For better or worse, it was just peaking when Curry turned his attention to his new solo project Shamus.
The catchy pop songs made up the album “Doolally”.
After a six month tour, another (self titled) album followed in the late 1990’s.
Taking a breather from the rock ’n'roll scene for a few years, Ross Curry was enticed by the famous Dutch duo Acda and de Munnik to play (and act) in their popular rock opera “Ren, Lenny, Ren”. Curry continued his comeback with a series of tribute sessions and live projects which earned him legendary status at the large and prestigious annual Zwarte Cross Festival in the Netherlands.

In 2019, Ross Curry shared some of his demos which were immediately determined by Zip Records (Amsterdam) as worthy for a commercial rebirth and promotion. Self recorded by Curry, the tracks were mixed by JB Meijers (The Common Linnets) and the album title chosen was “Blind Samson Eye”. Curry’s new album was scheduled for launch in the Spring of 2020. Along came COVID-19 to throw a wrench in the works. The decision to sporadically release 2-3 singles from the album was the obvious solution to the delay.

Some of the songs released as singles have performed great on the Dutch Indie Charts.
All four of the previously released singles reached top 5 positions, with Wake Up Dead reaching nr. 1 in the summer of 2020.

It's is a special pre-release from the upcoming album by Estroe called 'Comfort and Closure'. This album will be released the 14th of November and we wanted to do something special to celebrate it.

That's why Estroe asked two producers who she admires a lot to make their interpretation of two tracks from the album, called 'Sustained Illusion' and 'Ouf of my comfortzone'. Both Aril Brikha and Ray Kajioka did an excellent job.
We are excited about to launch the new Estroe album and hope you enjoy this special release.

Learning her DJ trade alongside Steve Rachmad, Adam Beyer and Joel Mull, as resident at Amsterdam's club Mazzo around the turn of the Millennium, Estroe, AKA Esther Roozendaal, was an onstage presence at huge events like Dance Valley, Awakenings and Tresor, way before venturing into the studio. 

Three years after her debut album, she releases 'Comfort and Closure' on the 14th of November via EevoNext. Softer and more delicate than her techno reputation might suggest, at it's heart, amongst swirling beatless instrumental and breakbeats, is a beating four four heart. This is also what you'll find on her podcast for us, with a tracklist covering Kenny Larkin (who Estroe played alongside at this year's ADE), Swerl and Kiki.

Finally found my oldschool DnB set and thought it would be nice to share it with you.
Back in the days when I the legendary club Mazzo still excisted and DnB came up I used to play DnB as well as house and techno. Once in a while I like to listen to my old records :-)

Estroe Invites - Oct 2014: Martin Mussche

Dear Soundcloud follower, lately, there haven't been many musical updates. In recent years, I've been busy working at a conservatory for electronic music, where I'm actively coaching students. It's been incredibly rewarding, and I've dedicated myself to it wholeheartedly. 
However, about a year ago, I started exploring modular synths and purchased my first modules.

So if you come across this recording of my modular performance at Voltage Control in Paradiso don't be surprised; it's quite different from my DJ sets or previous productions. Was this performance perfect? Not necessarily. But for a debut with the modular, I am satisfied and plan to do this more often. Follow me on Insta if you enjoy glimpses of my musical modular exploration. And thanks for listening!

Estroe invites NOV 2014: ADE: Dave Clarke presents: Estroe

This is a recording fragment from a recent live performance at Doka. Together with Joran van Pol, Fraknoise, and Julien Chaptal, we jammed for 4 hours. Quite a challenge! This is the first part of the evening.
I'm very curious to hear what you think of it. On behalf of Fraknoise, Joran, and Julien; enjoy listening!

Modular Performance @ Doka, Amsterdam Estroe - Fraknoise - Julien Chaptal - Joran Van Pol

*You are listening to short clips of the tracks

The EP begins with Into the Stillness, a landscape of reversed sounds that gently draw you in. It’s like stepping into a world where time stretches, where every sound feels distant and vast, pulling you away from the ordinary and into new, uncharted realms.

With Backwards Drift, suspense fills the air as you drift through empty space, caught in a feeling of subtle unease. The track keeps you suspended, balancing between anticipation and uncertainty, with a sense of something just out of reach, lurking in the shadows.

Breaking the Clouds follows, unraveling the calm as we’re pulled downward. The track carries an eerie weight, like entering an unfamiliar atmosphere or a plane descending through dense clouds. The surroundings grow darker, charged with energy, as if the air itself is thickening with tension, creating a sense of movement and descent through a charged, shifting environment.

In the final track, First Light, the darkness lifts, and a warm glow takes over. It’s the release after the descent – the sight of a strange new landscape lit by the first rays of light. The sound opens up, feeling like a moment of arrival and discovery, revealing something fresh and illuminating.

Descent into Sunrise is a journey through evolving soundscapes, an adventure into atmospheres that feel both alien and beautiful. This EP invites you to explore and imagine, letting each track paint a new layer of this strange, immersive world.

This recording captures our live set at Lab1 in Eindhoven, where we had the pleasure of supporting Andrea Cichecki. It was one of those evenings where everything seemed to align: a full room, a beautiful sound system, and an atmosphere in which the music could unfold naturally.

A heartfelt thank-you to Andrea Cichecki for inviting us and for the inspiring performance that followed after our set.

If you’re curious to follow the next steps: keep an eye on Raaf's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@raafmodular

Lessismore But Minimal Is Too 

Estroe - Taxotere - Lessismore

20 years ago….
1997 was the year I started dj-ing; I was buying a lot of records and practiced every day, making mixtapes to listen to on my walkman and analyzing these before going to sleep, dedicated to improve myself the next day. 
My record collection is from the period between 1997 and 2008 (after 2008 I started playing with CDJ’s and later with Traktor and Rekordbox) 
So I decided to make a selection from stricktly one compartment in my records cabinet and then make a mix. 
I wilI call these mixes ‘nostalgic’. Every records gives me a nostalgic feeling, a flashback, associations, memories.

This first nostalgic mix contains music from roughly 2004-2007. 
Memories that flashed through my mind while mixing this selection were:

2004 was an important musical year, I went to Sonar together with Esther Duyn, we attended the Mobilee roof party with Anja Schneider and Sebo K was playing there. The next day I played at a Connaisseur Party and had a nice conversation with Patrick Chardronnet at the diner with all the Connaisseur artists. 
I played at Detroit Electronic Music Festival on a Dutch stage together with Joris Voorn, Duplex, Benny Rodrigues, Stefan Robbers, T!m and others. It was such an honor to be part of this selection of artists and see Detroit. I remember going to a small warehouse party where John Beltran played, extra special that he’s done a remix for me this year. (I feel very privileged) I visited the Underground Resistant record store (wow!). And I went to an underground party where Octave One performed, or was it Night of the Jaguar? I forget things 😔
AND I played at Lowlands, a huge popfestival in the Bravo tent which was one of the biggest tents, closing off after (don’t remember, was it Chris Liebing?) and almost shit my pants because I was extremely nervous. The stage manager was so kind to mention that he never met an artist as nervous as me.
My dad joined me that day and we stayed at the artist camping, the next morning we had breakfast with Wannabeastar who had bruces everywhere due to her dj / slash / pole dance act.

I signed my first release on Connaisseur, a label that I had already been following for a few years. After getting the courage to send them my demo they signed ‘Driven’ and even helped me releasing my first album in the years to come.
Of course I remember going to the Amsterdam recordstores where I would meet my fellow dj colleagues and we would gossip and share music.
So much more to tell! But I save that for the next mix.

It would be great to hear the memories you get while listening to the mix, please feel free to share them!

Estroe Invites January 2017 Nostalgic Mix 1

Elemental Assets

Driven (Album version)

CINQ - A Connaisseur Retrospective. Remixed.

Driven (Distortion Remix 1)

Estroe’s Querulant marches along like a soldier of war, mentally conditioned and who is hell bent on achieving their objective. Organic sounding percussive jitters and mumbles are like repetitive reminders of hypnotic commands while the sharp razor edged stabs suggest an implanted sense of violence. Sombre strings and pads hang in the background like pensive reflection or guilt of the soldier’s deeds.

Estroe - Querulant (Original) - ROSE019 - SNIPPET

Murk is a thick primeval soup of heavy breath-like drones and atmospherics. Intricate percussion dances and fidgets through the track like small organisms viewed under a microscope as they move in a drop of pond water. The steady pulse of a single bass note provides the underlying tension while thin string pads give a sincere sense of melancholy and emotion amongst the mysterious feelings of awe and wonder.

Estroe - Murk (Original) - ROSE019 SNIPPET

For Rosedale 022 I have used my own tracks and have called the Ep Nocturnal Lullabies as all the tracks were written late at night, and their themes reflect the darkness and late night vibes in different ways: 
Borderline was produced at time when a friend was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. She was obviously struggling with the condition and as her friend I found it pretty heavy to see her go through that.
Nightshift is an ode to all those nightshifts that I worked when I was a nurse. The atmosphere in hospital when people are sleeping, aching and fighting for their lives is difficult to describe so I thought that I’d express it with music.
Slaapliedje is a track that I wrote with the purpose of comforting those who are going through difficult times.
I have recruited the help of D.Diggler to bring a remix to the table for the Ep and he has come up with something pretty special.


Borderline’s nervous and busy percussion, with its scratchy hi hats and twitching clicks and blips take the track down an angst ridden road in an insecure mind. There is a dormant volatility in the track like someone who has been on edge for too long. The percussion is beautifully juxtaposed however, with sombre pads and a haunting melodious bell like synth that morphs throughout like the pensive moods of someone who has to live with the condition. 

D.Diggler sheds a different light on Borderline with his interpretation of the original. This time the focus is more on the melodic side of the track. The bassline dictates the pace as it pulses underneath. The melodious bell synth is still present but the contemplative atmosphere is reinforced with long sweeping pads that give the track a blur, like a passing moment. The nervous turmoil of the original track’s percussion lies in the not too distant background like a reminder of troubled feelings.

Nightshift has an engaging quality in that while full of motion, there is an air of calm in the track. The kick drum and bassline dance around one another in a hurried fashion while restless percussion and blips bustle around in the background like dutiful machines fulfilling their purpose. Yet, the sedate and soothing pads bring a reassuring warmth and humanity to the track. The soft chiming melody rolls through the piece like distant alarms while occasional resonant sweeps sigh like laboured last breaths.

There is an alluring innocence to Slaapliedje. It’s playful springy bassline sets the mood, and with its intermittent resonant peaks, like small birds singing, suggests a fond childhood recollection of a time when the world was full of wonder. Scurrying percussion and more bouncing and sanguine synth elements bring the picture alive in one’s mind. The drone pads bring with them a gentle optimism with their softness and melody and seem to burst into song from time to time like sentimental memories.

The bassline dictates the pace as it pulses underneath. The melodious bell synth is still present but the contemplative atmosphere is reinforced with long sweeping pads that give the track a blur, like a passing moment. The nervous turmoil of the original track's percussion lies in the not too distant background like a reminder of troubled feelings.

I felt nostalgic, going though all my old techno records that I don't play anymore so I did a almost 2 hour set with precious gems from the nineties / early 2000's.
Hope you enjoy this one, created with techno love and care :-)

Estroe - Fantastical Air Snippet

Video: https://youtu.be/1xaLwMv3Xho

In 2009 Rottler & Deer remixed ‘Le Flaneur’ by Estroe featuring Miss Kittin.
Rottler started a dialog based on the lyrics by Miss Kittin, while Deer rolled out a beautiful melodic layer.
Now, a decade later the story of this collaboration is taking a next episode. Estroe remixed ‘Epizentrum’ a song from Rottler’s band Lenin Riefenstahl. Estroe translated the lyrics in Dutch, sang the lyrics herself, gave fuck on her shoulder injury and belt on her bass guitar. The result is stunning… a dreamy, laid back, melancholic electronic acoustic moody track that will hopefully enchant you.

This is Estroe’s description of the remix:
“ When rottler asked me to do a remix and pick a track from their album I chose Epizentrum as my favorite because I was instantly drawn into the moody and melancholic vibe and thought I could work with that athmosphere. 
When Rottler told me that he was looking for a vocalist for my remix I thought ‘ why not try myself?’ Lately I have been making baby steps with experimenting with my own voice. The remix took a little longer because I wanted to make sure that my vocal achievement was complementary to the music arrangement and to professional standards. So i asked several singers and colleague music teachers from the music conservatory where I work for feedback until I was convinced that I could send it to Rottler. 
I felt extra pressure because of the remix he and Deer made of Le Flaneur, it’s one of the most beautiful remixes ever made of my music so I wanted to return the favor by delivering something extra special. And to my relieve he loved the result. 
I also played the (basic) bass line with my own bass guitar, so this a project with two debut elements which makes it even more exciting to present it to the world.”
