remixes

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.

My remix for Pawas on Patrick Zigon's label @https://soundcloud.com/biotop-label is out now!
https://pro.beatport.com/track/jujeh-estroe-rework/6265077

More info: 

Biotop is proud to welcome Pawas to the family. Pawas is one of India’s hottest electronic underground-exports and is well known for his great releases on Spectral Sound, Fear of Flying, Eintakt and many more.

Pawas is not only an excellent producer, he’s a passionate chef and food-lover also. Inspired by the flavors of the orient, he composed this EP. "Blue Nile“ is the name of Pawas’ favorite restaurant in his hometown Pune, India. Adana, Jujeh and Chelow are three delicious kinds of indian Kababs - just as delicious as his electronic interpretations of these amazing dishes. Pawas sampled typical oriental instruments and built his characteristic grooves around them, resulting in this experimental EP.

For the proper remix treatment he invited two friends; Swiss producer Mastra reworked Adana into a funky and dubby house-bomb, and dutch producer queen Estroe has turned Jujeh into a detroitish synth-voyage.

„Blue Nile" will be released in february digitally, completed with a beautiful artwork by Fee Felicia. More information on www.biotop-label.net. Biotop is vivid.

Pawas - Juheh - Estroe Rework - Snippet

Almost nine months after the release of Glitterbug’s last album, Dust, some Glitterbug friends gathered to provide their interpretations of ‘Far Far Light’, one of the stand out tracks of the album. 

Estroe, Biblo and Extrawelt each contribute their own interpretation of the mood and imagery of this track. 

The original version of Glitterbug's ‘Far Far Light’ settles in a rather solemn mood, presenting the listener with deep bass lines, wet reverb and sparse arpeggios. ‘Far Far Light’ is a hypnotic, dark and spellbinding journey across nightly streets and forgotten urban landscapes. 

Extrawelt (of Cocoon and Border Community, to name just a few) fill raves and large scale clubs and festivals internationally, and that is for a good reason. Their interpretation of ‘Far Far Light’ unstoppably creeps into the raver’s heart, soul and body, making the already dense original even denser, and adding an ever evolving, powerful, excessive atmosphere that keeps on climbing and building until the very last chord. 

Estroe is no foreigner to the techno and electronica circuit either. The Dutch DJ and Producer, with a prolific history in both of her fields, has been a dear friend of c.sides and Glitterbug for many years. Her unique moods and the depth of her production, as well as the emotionality in her DJ sets and music she produces, is something that speaks a mutual language and similar musical vocabulary. Her remix creates a version of ‘Far Far Light’ that floats into a melancholic and loving universe. 

c.sides newest family member from Istanbul, Biblo, who just released her last album, ‘Absence’, on the c.sides imprint, takes all the heaviness of the original track and adds her own sonic pallet, creating a dark and earth shattering interpretation of ‘Far Far Light’. Witch House meets deep dub techno and eerie vocals meet Glitterbug. Prepare for a journey far down below. 

We're thrilled to expand the c.sides family of artists with this release (thank you!) and we're looking forward to share more new music and exciting news with you soon.

Nadja Lind - Ignore and Block (Estroe Remix)

Just released on my label @soundcloud.com/rosedale-records:
https://www.beatport.com/track/cascade-of-tears-estroe-remix/8125924

Cascade Of Tears (Estroe remix)
Whereas the original mix of Cascades of Tears has tangibly human qualities, Estroe’s remix of the track takes on a more humanoid feel. The suppressed vehemence is still there but the fragmented lyrics, added with the mechanical drones, whips and hauntingly foreboding chords, paint the picture of some kind of artificial intelligence struggling to compute the most human of traits – emotion.

Gestalt Effect - Cascades Of Tears (Estroe Remix)

Estroe’s remix of Nighlights is an iridescent interpretation of the original. Once again the track pulses along, this time though, like a trip on an electric highway. Shimmering pads glide through the mix like one is passing streetlights. A bell like arpeggio gives the track a sense of pace while strobe like percussion flash by like the lights of oncoming traffic.

Colophon - Nightlights (Estroe Remix) - Rosedale Records

Out Now!

Prologue is a deep and alien soundscape of scraping metallic atmospherics and blinking lights from worker drones that seem to fly past the listener. The pitched-down vocal sample is transformed into an almost unintelligible communication from another world which draws one into the piece while the thudding kick drum and throbbing dub stabs hold everything in place like a thought that can’t be shaken from one’s mind.

Whereas https://soundcloud.com/tokifuko's expertise lies with creating beautifully hazy, distant soundscapes, https://soundcloud.com/fomatic takes a more direct approach to his remix of Prologue. The component sounds are more upfront. However, he brings his own sounds to the mix with growling synth drones and achingly soulful synth melodies that are as gorgeous as they are haunting.

Toki Fuko’s Alginate demonstrates once again the artist’s ability to conjure up detailed aural landscapes in the listener’s mind, but with minimal simplicity. The track starts out on a calm but pensive sea of deep and distant foghorn stabs. Heartbeat kicks bring the anxiety closer to the shore. And like the monster it is, the track crawls out of the mist towards the listener as pacier 303 elements announce themselves like warning sirens.

Estroe’s remix of Alginate starts off with ominous bass stabs and deep drones that set a mood of dark expectation. Occasional 303 pulses and crunching handclaps build to the atmosphere. The mood changes to a more reassuring feeling however with the introduction of beautiful, silk-smooth strings that play like light illuminating darkness.

Estroe started DJ-ing in 1998 and is regarded as one of the few international female DJs who made it to the top. She has been known for her warm, subtle mixes of techno and tech house that fluently evolve from delicate and warm music to darker sounds with energy and groove. Her delicate and profound productions are not about maximum compression, distorted hi-hats or full-on bass drums. Instead, they are about atmosphere and space. She runs her own label: Rosedale Records and her advice agency Estroe-Electronic Music Advice.

In march 2016 Amsterdam based saxophonist/producer Susanne Alt released her latest album 'Saxify'. It features 36 of her favourite funk musicians she met throughout the years. Amongst them are legendary musicians like Jamal Thomas, Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis, Bruno Speight, Fred Wesley.

This release was made with tender love and care by Rosedale Records and with input from the following people:

Info about the release:
For Rosedale 018, Fomatic returns with two more tracks of his trademark melodic and thought provoking music. Estroe is once again on remix duties as is Spaceandtime with their own brand of cosmic sounds.
Fomatic mentions that The Search is a representation of “the search for my inner-self in music.”, and that, “the track combines my love for IDM and deeper techno music. Sometimes it’s a struggle to love both but I like to take advantage of the situation”.
His idea is certainly reflected in The Search. The mood is pensive as the track starts off. Percussive clicks and glitches add an almost subliminal tension while, in the background, distant brass like notes linger like the fundamentals of the artist’s original idea. The pacey bassline bounces and leaps around in both timbre and attitude, and has to be pulled back and tamed from time to time like a focussed effort to prevent his thoughts from running away with themselves. The track, without being over-burdened by complexity, is superbly effective and communicates the discipline of controlling one’s mind.
Spaceandtime’s remix of The Search communicates once more, the idea of controlling thoughts and the struggle sometimes of keeping ideas in check. The re-use of the original’s brass like synths are utilised well and bring a hypnotic and pressing feel to the track. Sub basses throb and add floor-shaking depth while high-end white noise splashes and elastic chord stabs play out like momentary disturbances that the focused mind is trying to avert during this late-night mission.
Fomatic writes: “Silent Birds is an emotional track, which is about disappearance of what comes naturally, like birds that become silent suddenly…” He goes on to mention “At the time that I wrote this track I became more conscious about certain things in life. Don’t take things for granted.”
The original mix of Silent Birds is a tapestry of beautifully melancholic synth melodies that weave themselves around rich but haunting pads, like one is standing at a window, listening to the chatter of the dawn chorus while longing for another to be there also. The devastatingly moving piano break takes one away momentarily, like the distraction of a cherished memory, only to be reminded of the emptiness of being alone when the pads and melodies come back in.
Estroe brings another dimension to Silent Birds with her remix. Fomatic’s original idea is now compellingly inverted by the remixer in that the tapestry is picked apart into long atmospheric suspense laden pads and strings that give in to the idea of solitude. This time the melody heralds the moment of realisation while deep legato bass and guttural percussion add a more machine like presence while keeping the emotion at a heart-felt level.

04 Fomatic - Silent Birds (Estroe Remix) - ROSE018 - SNIPPET

"Estroe’s interpretation of Au fil de l’eau captures the self reflective essence of Brett’s original track. Again, the elaborate use of gentle melody and arpeggios suggest the complexities of life while syncopated drums add an air of anticipation and excitement that something beautiful is about to happen. Deep bass notes hint at a sense of relief as they give way to soulful string pads near the end of the track like one has found the inner peace one was searching for."

For Rosedale 020 I (Estroe) welcome Brett Longman with his own distinctive style. Brett is a singer/songwriter and producer. He describes his music as “minimal grooves, sensually driven by electro sounds” and  got in touch with me after he noticed that I used one of his tracks in a mix. He really liked what Rosedale was doing musically and sent some tracks in. We met in Paris recently and are planning further releases 😃

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.”

With support from: Sasha, Ame, Adriatique, Kolsch, Hernan Cattaneo, Noir, Darius Syrossian & Mihalis Safras, Tocadisco, Black Madonna, Solomun, Dubfire, John Digweed, Charlotte de Witte, Len Faki, Truncate, Amine Edge, Wally Lopez and many more.

This release goes back to down memory lane and back to Alexis his first album. Burn Out Or Fade Away is remixed by Dutch female techno legend Estroe, who has been at Lessismore from the beginning. She created a nice modern flow to Alexis his track but playfull chord swaps.  
For this release Alexis Tyrel remixes his own work into a more modern and up to date sound, saying goodbye to his originals and replacing them one and for all. Saturn Return is a warm spacy tech house track giving you a retro futuristic groove track, that floats somewhere between tech house and progressive. With his Burn Out Or Fade Away he re-created the warm detroitish chord sound but made it flow to a modern groove.

Estroe started DJ-ing in 1998 and is regarded as one of the few international female DJs who made it to the top. She has travelled to the USA, the Caribbeans, Russia, Canada, Japan and across Europe.  Her list of venues and festivals is impressive: Berghain (Berlin), Watergate, (Berlin), Fuse (Brussel), Tresor (Berlin), Sub Club (Glasgow), Cocoon Club (Frankfurt),  Rex Club (Paris),  Origami Entertainment Club  (Tokyo), Warehouse 702 (Tokyo), Harry Klein (Munchen), Q Club (Zurich), Awakenings (Amsterdam), Dave Clarke’ White Noise (Amsterdam), Sonar (Barcelona), 5 Days Off (Amsterdam), Bergwacht (Cologne), DEMF (Detroit), Kristal Glam Club (Bucharest), Promise (Toronto), Club Ma22o (Amsterdam), Club 11 (Amsterdam), Studio 80 (Amsterdam), Doornroosje (NL), Solar Festival (NL), Welcome To The Future Festival (NL),  Teqnology (HMH), In Qontrol (RAI), Off Corso (Rotterdam) Paradigm (Groningen), Pand48 (Groningen), Simplon (Groningen) and Dance Valley (NL)!
Estroe was one of the residents at the Off the Record nights at Club Ma22o from 2002, where she worked closely with Steve Rachmad, Cellie and Carlijn. Many established DJs and producers were invited during her sets: Adam Beyer, Joel Mull and Anthony Rother, amongst others.                                                                                         Meanwhile, she was also involved in a new talent night called Set Off, and the experimental soiree Explicit Sounds which she organised together with Steffi, who is now resident DJ at Panorama Bar, Berlin
Her career took off from there. Her style developed quickly and in more recent years, Estroe has been known for her warm, subtle mixes of techno and tech house that fluently evolve from delicate and warm music to darker sounds with energy and groove. She likes to set the tone at the beginning of an evening, and  is also in her element when performing at peaktime and not scared of throwing in some old school techno and electro.  Being a real people’s person, she is able to crank up the tunes and create a brilliant vibe on the dance floor.
Many top producers started out as DJs. Estroe is one of them. Her delicate and profound productions are not about maximum compression, distorted hi-hats or full-on bass drums. Instead, they are about atmosphere and space. 
Estroe started producing several EPs and singles (on labels such as Lessismore, Little-D, and Muzikism) before releasing Driven on Connaisseur Recordings in 2007.  This track sparked the interest of several big names. Ellen Allien chose Driven  for her Fabric.34 mix CD. John Digweed was blown away by this minimalist masterpiece and promptly asked her for a remix on his Bedrock label.
Estroe’s long-awaited debut LP Elemental Assets, featuring a guest appearance from Miss Kittin, followed in 2009 via Connaisseur Recordings and received widespread critical acclaim. Just recently this year, Estroe released her second album Comfort and Closure (EevoNext Recordings).
With her sophisticated, warm and elegant productions Estroe hasn’t gone unnoticed among other DJs. Dave Clarke booked her for his White Noise parties and she’s a resident at his Dave Clarke Presents event (Melkweg, Amsterdam) twice a year. She is also a frequently asked remixer, as is evident from the number of times her remixes for Bedrock, Manual Music, Tulipa Recordings and Cinematique hit the charts.
