PREMIERE: Bonnie & Klein - En Vacances [Dream Chimney]

UC Beatz delivers his ‘Nightzoom’ EP via B2 Recordings this December, comprised of four originals from the Belgian artist.

Brussels-based producer, DJ and label owner of Entrepôt Records, UC Beatz has carved out quite the reputation over the past decade and a half, dropping material on reputed imprints such as New York’s Razor N Tape, Cinthie’s Collective Cuts, Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon’s The Classic Music Company amongst others.

Here he joins the B2 Recordings roster with his latest collection of works and title-cut ‘Nightzoom’ leads, laying down organic drums, hypnotic chants and circling synth strings to create a subtly blooming, loop-led groove. ‘Saraska’ follows and strips things back to choppy acid bass, swinging 707 drums, vocal shots and an amalgamation of airy resonant keys.

Opening the flip-side is ‘The Girl Who Loved Flowers’, employing classic deep house tropes with fluttery Rhodes chords, tension building strings, snaking bass and crunchy drums throughout. Lastly ‘Stars Keep Shining’ then rounds out the release, leaning towards a more jazzy house aesthetic courtesy of intricately nuanced key melodies, warm subs, shuffled drums and winding Moog like synth licks.

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.

Peter Gabriel | In Your Eyes (Change Request ReVision)

For this ReVision, I recreated one of my all-time favorite Peter Gabriel masterpieces. 

Inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God, “In Your Eyes” eventually brought Peter Gabriel his first certified Gold Single in 2005, almost twenty years after its release on his fifth studio album, So, from 1986. 

An apogee of Peter’s ingenious studio production techniques meeting his benchmark libretto talents, “In Your Eyes” is a timeless tale of discovery and the human condition. 

Featuring Gabriel’s newly-innovated gated reverb drums, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, live bass, and then, state-of-the-art Fairlight CMI sampler, my ReVision sees a full-on re-orchestration of this track with an Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Arturia CMI, and updated drum programming.

“Krywald and Farrer launch new label Top Pocket Records. On the first release Moff and Tarkin introduce the EP with classic sounding house track, Trafalgar. It’s crunchy hi hats expose a raw, fizzy feel to it from the offset. As it picks up momentum, playful piano samples litter the show and a jaunty melody pave the way for an attractive finale.”

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.
