Percebes Música | Produto Interno Bruto II

A year has passed since the last Produto Interno Bruto compilation on Percebes Música. Therefore, we thought it was time to make a new volume of the series on the label. For this sequel, we got inspired by the great eclectic compilations from the '90s, where deep dance tracks were intertwined with less obvious cuts. 

Musical documents of the era when the concepts of Rap, Jazz, Dub, and Breaks meet the ideas of Techno, Downtempo, Drum & Bass, Leftfield House, and even Indie Dance vibes made central appearances in the electric portrait of the artist period and movement. 

We asked our local friends, as well as our family of producers from around the world to pitch in, and we couldn’t be any happier with the results. This compilation is a fitting homage to this long-lost spirit of variety, abstraction, and experiential excitement. 

This coherent collection of diverse musical selections by established artists and new talent alike, features some of Portugal’s truest underground artists who’s contributions are too often overlooked. 

From the serious Hip Hop of Ninguém feat. Bambino & DJ Kronic, The Chilled Electronic Jazz and Dub of Change Request, 2Jack4U, Terra Chã, and Renas Sense, to The Broken Electro Deepness of Basic Soul Unit, The Disco Boogie of Leonidas & Tk1, The Proper Rollers of AL:X & Daino, as well as Portuguese Veteran DJ Flick.

Change Request | Elevated Trains

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.
