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.

Samosa Records quickly follows up the first volume of Afrikano treats with Volume 2; a veritable melting pot of Afro beats and rhythms packed in to an exceptional four tracker.

On the B-side Leslie Lello ups the tempo with ‘Alcyone’. Solid, punchy bass, driving guitar and gorgeous piano riff and vocal combine with a synth lead you absolutely need in your life. The track morphs and transforms into a full-on (almost housey) stomper; nailing its tribal colours to the mast with intent. A real beast of a tune.

The Weeknd | Secrets (Change Request Revision)

For this ReVision, I reworked the song “Secrets” from the Canadian singer, Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd, off of his third studio album, Starboy. 

The original features samples of “Pale Shelter” by Tears For Fears and is a cover of “Talking In Your Sleep” by The Romantics. 

Having been a fan of the production work from Toronto and the OVO section of sound design, my version removes and rearranges parts of the original, discarding the beat-driven focal point, taking a more sonic space design approach to this work.

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.
