Dutch DJane Estroe is getting more and more recognition abroad, with strong releases on the Frankfurt-based Connaisseur Recordings and her own EevoNext (together with Stefan Robbers). Let this set – recorded at the Watergate in Berlin – speak for itself!

Estroe started DJing in 1997. Soon she gets the opportunity to play at HQ-a party organised by Dance Valley (nowadays better known as UDC). Recognized for the qualities of her DJing style, she becomes resident at their Concept parties. During her one-year residency, she plays as a warm-up DJ with the likes of Derrick May, Stacey Pullen, Sven Vath and others, and learns how to transform an empty dance floor into a party. In 1998 Estroe was nominated for a Dutch award (Zilveren Ster) as new upcoming talent.

This was a kick that would result in more domestic and international bookings. Throughout her career she performed at various renowned parties and festivals, such as Dance Valley, Awakenings, Mysteryland, Extrema, and countries like Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, Finland, Israel, to name but a few. From 2000 to 2002 she was one of the residents of the Off the Record nights at the infamous Amsterdams Mazzo, together with DJs Carlijn, Cellie and Steve Rachmad. Parallel, Estroe gave a chance to new talent as well, at her “Set Off” evenings, also in Mazzo.

Together with DJ Steffi (Klakson), in 2002 she started a new evening Explicit Sounds, which focused on experimental electronic music. Unfortunately, Mazzo stopped all the electronic music nights in September 2002, which meant the end for all these concepts as well. Up to this date, Estroes DJing schedule is quite hectic and motivating; in 2004 she was one of the few Dutch DJs to play at the Movement festival in Detroit, USA; she also had the honor to close off the big Lowlands festival in Holland. Being a lady of many interests, Estroe also fancies participation in various projects.

In 2005 she hosted and attended few DJ workshops; is one of the artists at the web community Little-D (www.Little-D.com); was asked to make a music demo for Heineken commercial; also selected to join the Redbull Music Taster in Amsterdam. Estroe joined forces with ZoëXenia and Dj Esther as B-Switched (www.b-switched.com); a mixture of back to back dj-sets and ZoëXenia as a vocalist and live performer.

Estroe started producing in 2003; her debut on Less is Morecordings was released in January 2005 (www.Lessismorecordings.com). More releases in 2005 were on Less is More and Journeys (www.musicaljourneys.nl).
