Switzerland-via-Germany artist Rødig unveils his debut album, Human Machine, on his Shojiki label. It will be released on double-coloured vinyl and digitally on March 6, 2025.
Rødig’s cohesive and nuanced ‘Human Machine’ extended player balances moods and grooves, demonstrating his sound design skills and mastery of rhythmic syncopation. 'Artificial Interaction’ starts with scuffed-up kicks and dubby chords, creating a body-popping groove laced with gritty pads. Field recordings and live performance elements have been incorporated into the album on tracks like 'Breather,' where SOD-90's live flute and Rødig’s melodies add lush emotional layers.
Elsewhere, Rødig’s 'Catch Me If You Can' is a playful fusion of wispy cosmic melodies and well-swung drums with retro video game leads and 'Echoing Heartbeat' is a dense and kinetic rhythm with warped synths and tight percussive beats. The title track is a thumping but warm techno sound with a mischievous melodic edge, and 'Instinct' brings rock-solid techno loops and spaced-out ambient pads over a darkened bassline. 'Mode 174' is a synth scape that transforms into a deep techno roller before 'Update Cancelled' brings pressurised drums and razor-sharp percussion to a grainy, compelling groove.
Inspired as much by 90s Detroit as he is by modern-day sounds, Otium Records member and Shojiki founder Rødig has released a slew of tracks on both labels since the project’s inception in 2019. He now unveils his first full-length release for Shojiki, the double vinyl ‘Human Machine’ LP with eight tracks and four handy DJ tools already been supported by Boris, Ben Sims, and Laurent Garnier.
