Andrew Emil | The Dub Is Right (For Kevin Mills)

My good friend and fellow man of music—Kevin Mills—brought to my attention, yet again, some music from the fabric of our lives that was severely overlooked and under-appreciated. 

The music for the game show The Price Is Right, didn’t just have a catchy theme song—famously remade by Paul Johnson and another version by Crystal Waters called “Come On Down”—the show also featured top-notch music for the interludes, showcase showdowns and many more. 

Absolute classic 1970s Black American Popular Musicianship was on full display on this game show during the Bob Barker days. 

Since Kevin Mills brought this to my attention, I sampled and reworked an interlude from the show and dedicated it to him. 

Enjoy!

DJ WILL SHAKE 

Mixcloud.com/djwillshake 
 
A love of music has always been present in DJ Will Shake’s life for its immediate ability to transport and transform one’s emotions.  

The genre-defying nature of Will’s sets is borne out of not only his love of the diverse sounds that moves him personally on the dance floor, but also his extensive time doing marathon 6 hour sets where he seeks to create a sonic journey for the night pulling dancers through moods, emotions, and energy levels, never afraid to experiment.   

His first taste of DJ’ing came in high school from being asked to fill in at a local radio station where he played songs before and after live broadcasts of high-school sports events.  Of course, he sought out the most upbeat and groovy songs he could find in the adult-contemporary easy listening station’s record collection because, why not? 

Sometime in early 1993 Will found his home away from home on the dance floors of San Francisco.  It wasn’t until 1994 that he really caught the DJ bug when he was asked to bring his CD collection of electronic music that he had been sourcing to the local hometown club The Blue Lagoon in Santa Cruz for a one-off night.  Undeterred by his lack of mixing skills or a vast collection of music, he shortly after sought out a free night in the club and taught himself to mix CD’s and vinyl in front of a small, but soon growing crowd, creating his own unique sound pulled from a wide range of influences in both the underground rave and club dance music scenes.  It wasn’t long before he began his second weekly residency on Saturday nights where he shared the decks to packed crowds and lines down the sidewalk. 

A move to San Francisco in 1996 started a new trajectory in his career that included weekly residencies such as Bliss Bar on Saturday nights upon its grand opening, several guests slots for the reigning king of mid-week parties Qool at 111 Minna, gigs at venerable SF venues like The End-Up, Ruby Skye, and Kelly’s Mission Rock to name a few, as well as bringing his upbeat genre-bending blend of funk infused sets to countless house and underground parties.     

In 2004 though, a scary moment of clarity led Will to focus on sobriety and health above all else and set his passion for dance music temporarily aside.  Will has spent the last decade and a half building his own business where he smashes things and rebuilds them all pretty. In his free time Will can often be found on his bike and uses his abundant energy on two wheels to participate in fundraising events where he seeks to reduce the stigma attached to HIV/AIDS, and support programs focused on reducing infections among other things.

Andrew Emil // Change Request 

A preeminent artist of Chicago's 3rd wave, Andrew Emil is one of house music’s most staunch stalwarts. A concert-trained percussionist since age 11, he earned a chair in his native Kansas City Symphony before eventually moving to Chicago. 

As a traditional musician, Andrew Emil has worked as a keyboardist, arranger, and an orchestrator on recording sessions and productions, cutting his teeth at the former Chicago Trax Recording Studios. 

Credited on over 200+ recordings, his composition and studio productions have ranged from concert works and sound design to film scoring stages and hundreds of releases of electronic music productions. 

After a life in live music performance, from orchestra percussion sections to punk rock ensembles, he crafted a reputation for House Music productions in Chicago under his own name, as well as Broadway & Wilson, and Uptown Tones. 

One of the earlier innovators of the “Jackin House” genre under the Broadway & Wilson moniker with Jeff Bloom, Andrew is never content to stay in one place or style of musical thought for very long. 

He is the only recording artist to do production work simultaneously for Derrick Carter’s Classic Music Company, Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio, Gene Farris’ Farris Wheel Recordings, and four-time GRAMMY nominee Steve “Silk” Hurley’s S&S Records.

A string of double-digit singles for prominent labels, including remixes for artists such as Common, Kanye West, Little Louie Vega, Jamie Principle, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Iz & Diz, Fast Eddie, Shalamar, Roland Clark, David Morales, Colette, Amp Fiddler, JT Donaldson, and Gene Farris, to name a few. 

2012 saw the emergence of his epithet, Change Request, with the Change Theory EP on four play music. This new persona allowed the freedom to explore hybrids of mid-tempo live instrument focused jazz-dance-fusion. 

Following this release was “After All” on Seasons Recordings, with another single thereafter featuring house music icon, Chez Damier, “I Wanna Go Back”, including a remarkable rework from Glenn Underground, on Glenview Records. 

The ever-growing collection of songs and musical dialogue eventually led to the conceptual album series from Change Request. Each full-length effort containing a completely separate story and scored via its own unique incidental subtext. 

Emil created AstraVox Music with the award-winning Los Angeles-based composer, Mr. Nathaniel, as a home for his increasing catalog of incidental dramatic musical compositions.
