VC-118A

On his latest album, Samuel Van Dijk applies his lush, richly rendered electro to a broad sweep of introspective machine music across the tempo range. For well over 10 years VC-118A has cut a striking figure within the contemporary electro landscape. Van Dijk's accomplished catalogue, which also spans the Multicast Dynamics and Dialog projects amongst others, is defined by the adventurous spirit of his sound. Within the recognizable structures of machine-driven dance music, he's found space to cultivate a distinctive palette that relishes expressive sound design and melancholic emotion in equal measure. A sizeable run of albums and EPs on labels like Delsin, Frustrated Funk and Tabernacle have proven VC-118A to be a project well-suited to home-listening immersion as well as club play.
