Remixes

Et tu Copycat? Well, how could I resist? Me and Kate made a deal with the Balearic disco gods—and now we’re dancing up that hill instead, with no problems. Join us!

A deal with disco...

Running up that hill (A Copycat Remix)

What do you get if you mix PSB with Shannon and WHAM? Well, an old little something (2007) I found on the hard drive—and never released/posted, for some reason...

Music Opportunities for Young Guns (Pet Shop Boys / Shannon / Wham)

Melancholic musings on life and death.
Mellow tears of joy and gratitude.
And ecstatic euphoria on the dance floor…

Ghosts Again (A Copycat Remix)

Just having a little fun over here... Enjoy!

I always feel like

I've always wanted to give this one the Copycat makeover, but never really dared to. It is simply sacrosanct, in my book. A while back a few promising ideas popped up, however. During the recent Christmas holidays, I finally found some time and courage to try them out—and here’s the result. Hope you like it!

Happy new year! /Ivan

Blinkar Blå (A Copycat Remix)

An old underrated favourite gets the Copycat treatment. Hope you like.

The Things You Said (A Copycat Remix)

Dear Karl,

A few years back, I did a cover of your lovely ”She’s the one” for my wife’s birthday. A wonderful timeless classic up there with the very best love songs, if you ask me (and her)—with lyrics so simple yet so pregnant, which truly sum up a longstanding loving, secure and deeply connected relationship and journey of life. 

A very emotional moment, for us both, I assure you. Not least with my vocals really stretching the patience of my audience and challenging the well-laid boundaries of our relationship...

In light of the tragic news of your passing, I won’t disrespect you nor the public at large by posting that very version. Some things just should be kept private; I am sure you agree. Instead, here’s my arrangement/instrumental of it—with your voice on top. 

Thank you for the music, for your talent, and for this song in particular. It will always mean the world to me and us. 

R.I.P. 


Love,

/Ivan

She's the one (A Copycat Remix)

Lessons in Disco - with the 3MF! 

Alex Saat, or preferably 3MF, recently released his magnificent “Now EP” on Emerald & Doreen and already is coming back with double dose of unearthly disco energy. There couldn’t be better title for his upcoming album than “Move”. Cause when you submerge yourself into this explosive funky title track you find your feet beating out a rhythm and your body tenderly shaking. Before you realize what’s going on you already started to... MOVE! This gifted disco wizard based in Mexico describes his art as “Music for dancing with your eyes closed”, nothing more there is to say. With this exceptional EP - to do justice to tradition – comes along a cheerful action pack of remixes crafted by some of our label’s favorite virtuosos. Copycat slows it down a little and adds his trademark vintage disco synths and some sexy lush handclaps. Elektromekanik delivers a pulsating, laid back lounge reminiscent of Kruder & Dorfmeister at their best times. MATTIZD takes it to the deep house floor and gets it going for the club while Elektromekanik just cannot get enough of the track and throws in an atmospheric instrumental dub version.

Finally the man himself brings it home with his insane 80s new wave rock “Digital affection”, quoting tongue in cheek the sound and style of famous Aussie band INXS. What a banger!

Emerald & Doreen do the Magic Trick

Illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts, Houdini had an endless repertoire including chains & ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, escaping from inside a sealed milk can and so on...

Very much like Houdini with his amazing stunts, Emerald & Doreen is pushing the boundaries (some may say our luck) with their ecelctic repertoire that follows its own logic and even more so with this bold set of remixes. Remixes that take Houdini’s magnificent rock anthem „Secrets' into an eclectic fusion of Nu Disco, perfect 80s Pop, Killer Dub, Acid House & Electronica. 
Houdini, the fresh and upcoming Electronic/Rock four piece from Dublin Ireland, was bold enough to lay their masterpiece into the hands of Emerald and Doreen, knowing very well, that we will push the limits far and beyond. But as always according to our credo: a fanatstic song needs to be celebrated with an equally amazing set of remixes.
The Magicians involed in this frivolous remix stunt include Elektromekanik (the perfect auto scooter track), A Copycat (Disco Dancing on a rope), David Garcet (buried alive and the air gets thin), Statickman (happy straightjacket escape), Irregular Disco Workers (something with a spinning wheel and throwing knives), Haioka (the upside down trick) & Blackmod (overboard box escape from the deepest ocean)

Double Down on the Disco Doubles with our Double Deluxe Remix Package Part II

Disco Doubles is the brainchild of Gilberto Caleffi and Erio Simonini. 

After releases on Permanent Vacation and Nang Records, they released their fantastic first album on Emerald & Doreen Records, the futuristic German boutique label
among whose biggest fans is Jerry Bouthier, the world famous Kitsuné DJ and catwalk sound designer of Vivianne Westwood. And they present only killers, no fillers ;). A supernova of a release.

„Breakthrough feat. G.RIZO“, the opener of the album, will not only please many dancefloors and catwalks, but also every music lover, especially those who are into 80s italo and Felix da Housecat disco-tech. It is the kind of smash hit that can make it into every top 100 chart and even be played on the coolest radio stations on Earth. People will immediately ask themselves, “who sings that?”.  A great underground hit, definitely. And a hit like this needs to be celebrated! Hence we are releasing two equally awesome remix packages of the track. Part II is featuring A Copycat, The Robot Scientists, Statickman, James Rod.
To add some spice we also throw in an amazing remix by Mikael Fas for Disco Doubles 'Together' (feat Kathy Diamond)

Disco House is in the House

JAQUES LE NOIR, better known as Giacomo Bisciarri aka BSHARRY entered the scene in 2014. Ever since he's been featured numerous times in the top of the Beatport charts, Traxsource, Dj Tunes, Juno Download and Deejayworx.

His debut on Emerald & Doreen, appropriately titled „ First Time“   is a perfectly vibrant & uplifting Disco House killer. The cheerful positive energy of the track is contagious from the very first second combining French House and Italian Disco with a mesmerizing vocal sample, likely taken from Róisín Murphy’s unknown brother:-)

The package comes with bunch of remixes by Hot Shakes!, A Copycat & Dim Zach that will make your heart beat deeper, your legs move faster and your mood go up in the air.

Jaques Le Noir - First Time (A Copycat Remix) clip

Taken from her recent album „Oralgami“ Tomorrow or Now  represents a beautiful piece of contemporary melancholic indie disco. In line with Emerald & Doreen’s philosophy that every great song deserves to be celebrated by a set of equally great remixes this EP brings to you a creative set of remixes meandering between heavenly nu disco (superb job by A Copycat), David Garcet’s very own 90’s drone pop, slow dark disco (The Irregular Disco Workers)  and melodic deep house (Latona). As bonus track we have Karl Gruender’s latest trip hop re-interpretation of Klangschwester’s „Tease Me“ as well as a new original track called „Come Unity“. This release goes out to heavenly creatures and vampires alike!

Bluehost - We Need You EP (CONT024) OUT 3rd June '16
Stream & download: https://lnk.to/Bluehost_WeNeedYouEP
Premiered in Earmilk: http://earmilk.com/2016/05/23/we-need-you-bluehost-and-a-copycat-remix-too/
Jerry Bouthier’s label Continental records welcomes Mexico’s Bluehost to its continuously expanding international roster. Building a body of releases where love for songs with character and dancefloor principles cohabit on dj-friendly EPs crafted by authentic artists, the colorful, pop-tinged digital imprint springs back into action with ‘We Need You’ by Bluehost, a trio hailing from Mexico City which aims at combining indie moods and club vibes in one personal inspired Latin spell.

When DJ Alex González was introduced to Azzim Susano who was singing in a new-wave band at the time, the two 24 year olds into synth-pop and European sounds hit it off immediately and decided to form Bluehost. Cruz Antonio on drums soon completed the line-up. The band's name stems from its wish to combine the melancholy of Blue Monday, the third Monday of January believed to be the most depressing day of the year (almost certainly also a nod at New Order's electrodisco classic), to their love of hosting parties and making people dance.

With a funky rhythm guitar that would make Nile proud, quirky synths a-gogo, electro beats to almost breakdance to and a male vocal that’s as infectious as heartfelt to top the lot, ‘We Need You’ strikes a chord. These boys sure cultivate a sentiment of their own, injecting warm, impassioned, Hispanic touch and cool dance moves to their beloved indie-pop.

In the remix seat Pallace, the Frenchie who’s co-produced Zimmer's lately, opts for a driving house makeover, stripping down vocals and unleashing some proper feelgood Hammond chords and one of the catchiest SH101 basslines you’ll hear this summer. Next Sweden's Copycat, the analog lord renowned for revamping the 80s with style and skilled production techniques, turns out a piano-led balearic anthem that’ll have you throw your hands in the air before you know it. To conclude the EP, Bluehost provide their own dub remix which takes ‘We Need You’ one step closer to Manchester’s Haçienda and its italo-house heaven.

1. We Need You (4’06)
2. We Need You (Pallace remix) (5’11)
3. We Need You (a Copycat remix) (6’49)
4. We Need You (dub) (6’43)

Bluehost - We Need You (A Copycat Remix) (Continental 024)

1000% Disco Dynamite, strictly electronic, yet humane and warm at heart, The Sweeps are easily as synthetic - and sweet - as their spaced out synth pop from Hamburg. The trio around dulcet-toned singer Kristina Brodowski and keyboardists Christoph Duwe & Niels Wesner continues to pursue the perfect pop song with a gentle nod to 1980s greats, analogue synths

The Sweeps’ formidable Italo Disco Electro Pop song „Carless“ combines sweet melodies with laid-back vocals meandering smoothly between  Electro Pop, Italo Disco and pure synthesizer nostalgia. 

Now buckle up and check this out! A Copycat, Dim Zach, The Irregular Disco Workers, Elektromekanik, The Disco Doubles & The Note V deliver you a  pure & heavenly disco dynamite inferno that leaves nothing open to ask for.
For the disco connoisseurs and everyone who wants to indulge himself into a good old nostalgic disco bliss deluxe, this is the release of the season.
