Le Bon Groove - Before House (Radio Edit) [CRMS206]

Gospel-house favourites Dames Brown unite with Detroit techno pioneer Eddie Fowlkes for an unmissable Defected collaboration, ‘Do It’. Following recent anthems ‘Glory’ with Waajeed and ‘Sweat’ with Melvo Baptiste, the Dames are reaching new heights as they further their relationship with the London label. Similarly, the Godfather of Techno Soul Eddie Fowlkes continues to innovate with genre-defying releases like the four-track ‘AHYEE EP’ on Classic Music Company, asserting his position as an industry titan. The two artist’s styles come together for ‘Do It’, an unabashed outing of house excellence; Fowlkes’ unmatched talent for vocal manipulation is on full display, as the Dames’ infectious personality and feel-good-spirit is brought to the fore at every turn supported by an instantly arresting beat built for the underground. Additionally, the release includes a fantastical remix from multi-disciplinary artist Zach Witness. The Dallas-born and Paris-based artist has made a name for himself through his offbeat, homegrown style, producing Erykah Badu’s album and working with André 3000, Frank Ocean and Nile Rodgers; now he lends his unique and bombastic vision to ‘Do It’, in true Zach Witness style.

Welcoming Folamour into the family, Classic is proud to present this 9-track LP from one of France’s most intriguing new artists. It’s business as usual for the fast-rising French producer, who is yet to put a foot wrong this year. Co-founder of Moonrise Hill Material and founder of FHUO Records (For Heaven Use Only), Folamour’s take on house music is exquisite, poetic and meticulously executed. 

On ‘Umami’ Folamour continues to explore his signature blissed-out sounds, mixing sample-heavy house with intricate percussion and life-affirming pads, all dripping with decadent jazz and disco influences; pure hazy lushness. Each track tells a unique story, engaging narrative threads that pulse and dwindle on hypnotic frequencies. High points include the energetic workout that is ‘Devoted To U’, Hip-Hop infused ‘Kickflippin’ That Stuff’ and the endearing warmth of ‘Look At Me Or I’ll Steal Your Eyes’. ‘Umami’ is a stunning work of art from a very thoughtful producer; prepare to be very impressed.

Erik Satie | Gnossienne No. 3 (Change Request ReVision)

Official Video: https://bit.ly/3clpSSj   

For this ReVision, I reimagined one of the more poignant pieces in his Trois Gnossiennes piano works from 1890, “Gnossienne No. 3”, the final “Lent” free-time piece, following the “Gnossienne No. 2 - Avec Étonnement”.

An abstract French Impressionist and influential artist of the early 20th-century Parisian avant-garde, Éric Alfred Leslie Satie aka Erik Satie (1866–1925), broke ground with his work for future artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and ambient music with his innovative “Musique D’Ameublement” works, dating from 1917.

An accomplished art and cultural journalist, publishing works for outlets as wide-ranging as the Dadaist 391 to Vanity Fair, he wrote under his own name as well as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule during his most active years.

The first Trois Gnossiennes are piano compositions that are highly experimental with form, rhythm, and chordal structure. The Gnossienne form and its name was the original invention of Satie, a rare occasion in Western Music—however, common with the French Impressionism movement, seeing Claude Debussy, among others, reinventing the Esquisses Symphoniques, with his triptych approach—where a composer employed a new term to describe the form of their work.

These Gnossiennes were first published in Le Figaro musical No. 24 of September 1893, with the piano solo versions of the first three Gnossiennes are without time signatures or bar lines, with the “Gnossienne No. 3” returning to the thematic material of “Gnossienne No. 1”

Inspired by another master of French music, Francis Poulenc, whose orchestration of this work in 1939 completely transformed it. Conceiving a fresh contemporary sonic cosmos for this standard piece of repertoire, Poulenc transfigured this work dynamically and motivated me to take it into even another realm.

This arrangement features a return to Da Capo twice, with a Mozart-styled-minuet to conclude. I orchestrated this through synthesis and not traditional orchestral sections but organized the sound design around their respective sonic statements. Using a variety of Oberheim pads, Sequential Circuits brass, and Roland Juno strings and bass, this was embellished with modern percussive accompaniments.

Written By Erik Satie in Paris, France (1893)
Orchestrated By Neal Andrew Emil Gustafson (2019)
Produced By Change Request in Chicago, IL (2020)

Duwayne Motley - "Secrets feat. Quiana Parler & Matt Monday"

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.
