Press Info:
From Nadia Struiwigh, regarding her new EP for James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records:

“2024 had been a profound turning point for me – not just as an artist, but as a human being. The “X1 Shift” EP is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a story, a reflection of the shifts I’ve embraced, and the identity I’m uncovering at my core.

“I’ve always felt that music is storytelling, not boxes to be labelled. Whether through ambient textures, techno grooves or experimental soundscapes, each genre represents a chapter in a bigger story.

“The magic lies in weaving them together into something timeless and deeply resonant – much like the origins of electronic music. For me, the essence of being an artist is freedom – creating without limits and exploring the beauty of the unexpected. This EP represents that freedom: the love of pushing boundaries, the courage to evolve and the joy of stepping into the unknown. Every sound on “X1 Shift” is intentional, every transition meaningful, yet there’s also room for spontaneity.

“Technically, the EP features the tools and hardware that inspire me: the Korg Electribe (my heart), Yamaha DX200, NI Maschine+, Arturia Minifreak and plugins from NI and Plugin Alliance. These tools became the palette for painting this journey.

“Thank you, James, for supporting this music and giving it a second round. Your belief in this, especially something a little out of the box, means the world to me!!

“Here’s to breaking free, telling stories and creating from the heart.”
