lyrics:

say what’s on your mind
i can’t read between the lines
see you hustling 9-5
but i’d regret, if we don’t try
baby worried, while you work
feeling lonely in your shirt
get the feeling that i’ll cry
cause i ain’t seen you in a while

mmm uhhehrejc
cause i’m no player, know i’m prone to
gauge too hard, and stay too long
and give too much, imma serious
kinda girl

can you hold me
promise you won’t leave
know that i’m a lot but
i can give you everything
that you need
i wanna be yours
and i can’t wait
top of the line
that CLG love rich, and she gon pay

give it all that i got
wanna be just what you’re wanting
going back to the start
gonna finish what i started
think i’m running high
got a fever that won’t leave

TLC from a CLG

GET 12" SINGLE

The rain was pouring down hard, it had been all day. There was a dim light which flickered in the window at the end of the street, everything else was dark but for the occasional glimmer of a car passing by up on the hillside in the distance. He wondered how it had come to this - out here in the middle of nowhere. If someone had asked him whether he might find himself in such a situation he'd of laughed before - yet now here he was.

It was a cold night, another bitter winter. He could only hope that he'd find his way back home by the time the warmer months came around. Trouble didn't last that long - it couldn't could it?

Soon everything would be normal again, at least he hoped.

DOTT features on a new split EP from More Rice - the Thailand based record label which continues to evolve and grow from strength to strength as it showcases innovative musicians and artists from across Asia. They team up with Walls & Pals for a special release.  This new record features a collection of deep. playful, experimental House music.

Andrew Emil and Glass Slipper join forces with Claude Young for timeless and soulful EP ‘Incidental Introspection’, issued on Colour and Pitch. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Colour and Pitch is delighted to welcome back to the label Austin duo Glass Slipper (Lisa Cork-Twiss and Brad Eller) and Chicago producer Andrew Emil, alongside a label debut from an all-time musical hero of ours, Detroit’s own Claude Young Jr.

Ranging from 80’s-tinged boogie to House, ‘Incidental Introspection’ cooks up a truly singular, timeless fusion for 2024 and beyond. Slinky mid-tempo opener ‘Fade Out’ summons up retro Miami beach feels, while Lisa’s stunning vocal deals with the very modern issue of social media burnout.

‘Dancefloor Paramour’ keeps the grooves languid, while Lisa’s layered and reverb-drenched vocal summons up a dream-like and fleeting late-night encounter. Instrumental House cut ‘Unclaimed Restraint’ rolls effortlessly with a fat bass-line and dreamy classic chords.
Crushed, off-kilter drums and sparse chords introduce ‘God Only Knows’, before Lisa’s voice expresses both personal and universal existential questions like a mournful gospel confessional. Finally, Brad re-imagines ‘Dancefloor Paramour’ as a slick Disco House number, somewhat reminiscent of classic early Crazy P or Ray Mang productions.

“This EP was finished right before Covid hit in 2020 but feels timeless and I’m so excited to have it finally see the light of day” says Lisa Cork-Twiss. Andrew Emil continues: "Claude and I had been friends for some years through our work together creating sample packs, content, videos and editorial during my days directing the digital category at Reverb. We wrote all the track skeletons during a weekend in 2019 when Claude was staying with me in Chicago, and I finished up the tracks before I sent them off to Brad and Lisa of Glass Slipper to check out. They really loved three of them, and right away recorded their contributions and sent them back. I mixed them down and they added their remix, and there this project was.” Brad concludes: “The base tracks Andrew and Claude created were very inspiring, and Lisa never ceases to amaze me with her songwriting. I feel very lucky to be a part of this talented cohort.”

Change Request | Theoretical Certainty LP

“The Mainstay Chicago House DJ/Producer Has Put Together an Exquisite LP of Introspective Abstract Musical Ambience on 2x12” Double Pack”
 
Releasing October 22nd, 2020 on leftfield Minneapolis' imprint, Abstrakt Xpressions, the LP is a comprehensive collection of diversely interesting music from a modern avant-garde musician and contemporary music producer who is at the top of his game, both creatively & technically. This seventeen track album by the mainstay Chicago House DJ/Producer Andrew Emil, under his Change Request moniker, spans an eclectic voyage of musical abstraction through explorative spatial designs, experimental dissonant harmonic schemes, and lucid song structures, featuring a group of global guest artists, from Belgium, San Francisco, and Chicago.    

Long time Chicago House Music DJ/Producer Andrew Emil has been a respected fixture and familiar face in his vibrant local and the global music scenes for over two decades. A preeminent figure in Chicago’s 3rd wave of house music artists, his musical background begins with being a concert-trained percussionist since age 11. Originally from KCMO, he earned a chair in the Kansas City Symphony before moving to Chicago in the late nineties to attend Columbia College Chicago.  
 
In 2012, taking a step back from strictly releasing dancefloor-oriented singles—combining up-tempo, mid-tempo, downtempo, and cinematic ambient musical offerings into a new project—Emil debuted the Change Request project and production moniker. After the release of this project’s first EP, the Change Theory on four play music, came the project’s debut single on Seasons Recordings with “After All”, then another single featuring house music icon, Chez Damier, “I Wanna Go Back”—which included a remarkable rework from Glenn Underground—on Glenview Records. 
 
Still continuing to work as a keyboard session player, music arranger, and orchestrator—on projects ranging from concert works to film and TV—Andrew began to write a large number of experimental tracks, compositional etudes, and abstract productions which he archived for yet unknown future releases. Eventually, he created a home for these extracurricular pieces by birthing an electronic-orchestral imprint—in partnership with celebrated media composer, Nathaniel Smith—AstraVox Music.  
 
This effort saw Emil exploring what he refers to as “incidental dramatic music” with a string of releases that have come to define this unique type of tone poem. Beginning with the Light Years EP, then crafting more atmospheric sound designs with the Long Distance EP,  as well as exploring longer format sonic spaces with the Kinetic Propulsion EP, his ideas on abstract musical presentation and sonic painting became much more poignant and vivid. 

A culmination of this on-going explorative artistic development led to the next logical step in this creative process: the creation of a conceptual long-play for the Change Request project, formatted in this style of musical storytelling. And this is where the idea behind the Theoretical Certainty LP on the Minneapolis record label, Abstrakt Xpressions, was initially conceived from.

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.
