Inspired by aviation and over time evolved into a vehicle for deep and eccentric electro expeditions. Mysterious synths and turbulent drum-machine grooves are fused with glass-breaking bass and other-worldly sound-design. Sharp, sparse, dancefloor-centric electro and techno rhythms being joined by foreboding dub textures and alien electronics. It is this significant developed style that affirms his position as a cutting-edge artist who blurs pre-ordained genre boundaries with an expansive trademark sound.

Samuel van Dijk releases his third album as VC-118A on Delsin Records. It dives deep into the sonic narrative of VC-118A —who is also known as Mohlao— and mixes up his unique sounds with evocative musical imagery. An album that goes from sparse, mysterious grooves to shiny underwater electro to frazzled and distorted techno via absorbing passages of ambient and overdriven machine workouts.
