The thirteenth installment of the rv podcast comes courtesy of Dutch DJ and native Esther Roozendaal, who you might also know as Estroe.
.
Estroe first got behind the decks some 12 years ago while plying her professional trade as a nurse. It didn’t take long to attract attention of promoters in Amsterdam and she landed her first residency in 1997 on the back of solid performances at the Amsterdam club Melkweg. Since then she’s held audience at some of the preeminent German and Dutch clubs including Tresor and Watergate in Berlin, Cocoon Club in Frankfurt, and Club Mazzo and Club 11 in Amsterdam.
.
In addition to a busy club schedule she’s also shared the stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music like Derrick May, Sven Väth, and Carl Cox while having the opportunity to perform at festivals including Detroit’s Movement Festival, the Dutch Dance Valley Festival and the Amsterdam Dance Event.
.
About 6 years ago she turned her hand to production and over the course of a couple of years she saw her first material released on the Dutch imprints Musical Journeys and Muzikism, but it was late 2006 that can be considered the turning point for her production career when she caught the attention of Carl Cox with her track Bellisimore.
.
Early 2007 continued in a similar vein, when she released Driven on Connaisseur Superíeur—which makes a cameo on her rv podcast—it’s a track that found it’s way into many top DJs’ record bags including Garnier’s and Digweed’s. Driven furthered her reputation as a producer who can deliver balanced tracks with equal emphasis atmosphere and warmth while finding the right amount of energy and drive. Digweed was so impressed by the track that it prompted him to ask her to remix for Bedrock.
.
So what now for Estroe? Well, her first full length artist album Elemental Assets is released November 6, with the digital release dropping a week later—you can read our review here—so I’m sure she’ll be riding out the end of the year on a high. Be sure to check out her rv podcast for an enjoyable hour of deep dubby techno.
