Jamurai - Drum&BassArena Guest Mix

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!

As a longtime fan of the Alien franchise, I have been looking forward to seeing director Fede Alvarez's latest instalment Alien: Romulus. The sound team was tasked with designing an audible world that fit in with the original 1979 film but still lives in today's definition of what blockbusters should sound like. Supervising Sound Editors, Will Files and Lee Gilmore, are joined by Dialog/ADR supervisor Polly McKinnon and Sound Designer Chris Terhune to talk about the sounds of the Xenomorphs, launch sequences and building the ambiences before the film was shot. Also in you live in London, England, mark your calendar for Sept 24th, 2024, for Motion Picture Sound Editors Presents: The Tonebenders Sound Design Meet Up.  At The Queens Head pub in Soho at 7pm.

3 QUESTIONS to ESTROE:

Q: How did you get in touch with electronic music? 

A: In 1989 I was mainly listening to disco, R&B (Swingbeat) and hip hop. Until a friend of mine who was into house music asked me to go with her to a so called 'house' party. It took me a few rounds of going out to appreciate the music fully. A definite turning point was when she gave me the CD of Quazar - Into the future. I was really impressed by the music, especially the track I've also used for my mix called 'Cycledrops'. Living close to Amsterdam I was able to listen to a few pirate radio shows who were broadcasting house music as well and that's how I got hooked on electronic music.

I have stories and memories with all tracks, but I'll highlight a few of them: 

- Wham: I was a big fan of Wham, at the end of elementary school I performed ' Wake me up before you go go'. I playbacked Shirley from Pepsi and Shirley, the background singers. At the time I also so had a crush on the guy who was imitating George Michael. I remember that this boy later got cancer and I don't know if he ever made it because we all went to different schools.

- New Edition: Just fell in love with the whole album when it came out. Hadn't listened to it for years and years until a few years ago I had a gig in Toronto. A new friend called Benny Chang gave me a lift in his car and he had this New Edition and old Bobby Brown cd's on this car stereo. I was so happy driving with him in his car and seeing the skyline of Toronto. I think it's one of the reasons I like Toronto so much.

- Janet Jackson: I remember the Janet Jackson concert, I think it was the Rhythm Nation tour. My friend and I had tickets but we somehow forgot the tickets! We had to use all our charms on the security guys and they let us through! 

- Mr. Fingers Closer: This is one of my first house records, I had to search for it for a long time, I think I finally found it one time when I played in Berlin and visited Hardwax.

Q: Besides Djing and producing you´re a real workaholic it seems. You're a teacher, a mental coach, working on a video project. Please give us an insight!

A: Having a background as a nurse I'm used to hard work. I've combined nursing and music for a long time until I quit nursing 9 years ago and decided to put all my cards on music. 2 years ago I was asked to apply for a job at a music conservatory that specialises in POP and Electronic Music, as a student coach. I love working there, the students and colleagues are ginving me so much inpsiration and energy! So nowadays I'm also coordinating the E-musicians who do internships at recordings studios etc. And I started giving E-performance lessons to the first year students together with Julien Chaptal who's also teaching. The combination of working at the conservatory and in my studio by myself keeps me in balance. Besides teaching I'm working on my other projects. My label Rosedale Records and I'm also producing my own music and remixes. With a photographer I know I'm making soundscapes for his small video porttraits. It's almost finished and I will share it on my social media then. If you like a preview keep an eye on my Instagram. 

Q: Which future projects from Estroe and your imprint Rosedale are on the way?

A: At the moment I'm also working on a special Rosedale Records live set, combing the visuals from AMMO with Rosedale music. A new release with Toki Fuko with a Brendon Moeller remix is coming out pretty soon. Recently I've also started experimenting with my voice in my productions. But my productions are going a bit slow now a days because I have to focus on so many different things during my week.

Chapsy feat. Daniel J Cecil - What's That Smell?

Everyday is a new year
happy new year every day
all the years are for you
you make the day

When you stay 
we'll make the most magnificent fireworks 
of the day
colors bright by night 
will fill the sky 
if you won't 
say goodbye

Everyday is a new year
happy new year every day
all the years are for you
you make the day

when you're gone 
just for one day
it almost seems like a year
and I wonder 
where you stray
wishing you   back
right here

Don't be afraid 
for the last year
you know I will still be near
we will laugh
and cry together
'till we die 

every day will be a brand new year
happy new year every day 
all the years are for you 
you make the day
