Ida Engberg returns to DCLTD with her double-track "Radiate."

Radiate: Insistent 'tin cup' drumming percussion offsets the pounding, resonant beat, as two voices duet – or duel? – a vocoder-processed robot against high-pitched, sung, and whispered vocal chords. A simple but intense two-note lead theme lends a brooding, almost menacing atmosphere, building tension and livening up the track. New Day: High-energy, fast-paced percussion, interspersed with space-hoover sounds, introduces a robotic speaking voice, announcing the lyrics – "this is a new life..., a new day" – lending a momentous meaning and atmosphere. Sweetly high-pitched, melodic synth chords add a touch of emotion, nostalgia touched by melancholy. Captivating, engaging, and full techno beats. [info sheet from the distribution]
