Electro ‘Tune of The Month’ - Mixmag

“Whoaaa it’s a mix of Daft Punk’s ‘Rollin’ & Scratchin’ and Armand Van Helden’s ’Necessary Evil’…massive”-  Busy P

Before they head underground to finish their new album which features some of the biggest names, the globally-loved Hamburg duo Digitalism are unleashing their first ‘pure’ club track since the red hot ‘Fahrenheit 32’ in January 2014.

Digitalism’s brand new track ‘Roller’ does exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks to a fearsome kick drum, screaming lead synths and an insatiable groove, the boys have got a monstrous tune on their hands that is sure to destroy club and festival scenes this summer the world over. Full of raucous energy, the track mirrors the freshness that could be found on Digitalism’s debut album ‘Idealism’ back in 2007.

Mixed by Matt Wiggins at none other than Paul Epworth’s Church Studios, ‘Roller’ comes complete with a delightfully low-slung remix from another duo who are currently on top form, Dense & Pika. Alongside that there’s two bonus DJ beats and a ‘Roll-A-Pella’ which will all be housed on a limited edition 12” that’s sure to go down an absolute treat with Digitalism’s loyal and dedicated fan base.

The band are set to remerge in September to reveal their hugely exciting new live show at Lollapalooza Berlin, but in the meantime their new tune is set to keep things rollin' for a good while until then.

Ego Acid - Original Mix - Remastered

There have previously been a couple of occasions at which Los Angeles-based artist Ken Rangkuty (Keenhouse) contributed genius-like moments for Emerald & Doreen Records. Most prominently his re-working of go nogo’s „Things Ain’t Right“ produced an athmosphere full of suspense with skewed vocal tunage, minimalistic, impressionistic piano motifs and sparse drum-programming. This interpretation is a fine example of how Keenhouse successfully marries the worlds of traditional instrumentation and electronica. 
Having released his third full length record „A Future Past“ in January, Keenhouse propelled his approach to style in a series of songs that feature brass- and lush string-arrangements, live-drumming plus vocalistic traits of colloborators. This enriched formula has produced an album that more than ever introduces compositional talents of someone who can weld pop, classical romanticism and electronic playfulness together.

Having established an artist-roster which constantly exchanges talents in the guise of remix swaps,
Emerald & Doreen pays a tribute to the talented „Mr. Keenhouse“ in having some label-greats remixing „A Future Past“ almost entirely.

Netherlandish disco don Auxiliary Tha Masterfader is keeping the original dreamy and balladesque quality of „Time“ intact, though adding an extra-amount of synth-nostalgia. This is kitsch in the best sense, like driving with an open canopy into the sunset, reminiscing of a long-forgotten teenage love affair. 
Go Satta’s British Amtrack Version of “Evening Return“ reveals a stellar song-interpretation of the ethno-ambient-tinged instrumental you hear from Keenhouse. Moriah Nixon’s pop-lyrics add up to the band’s charming indie-pop vibe which they have become associated with. The euphony is highlighted with ethereal pad sounds and lean guitar arpeggios that conserve a shimmering character.
The West Coast-ish easy living streak of „Into Silence“ turned Rubberlips on to create a string-laden, funked-up nu-disco bounce. As the track is indulging in layers of synth- and violin-sweeps, the whole affair turns into a vivid jamming. It seems like there’s an endless sky of vibrant red and orange.
The first track released from „A Future Past“ stirred label-associates go nogo to have a „go“ on the remix-project. They eliminated almost every aspect of the celli-driven, rhythmic complex original „Argon Decibel“ and hooked-up the chopped vocal-line with some broad sleazy bassmotif. There are streaks of psychedelic guitar-licks, shades of percussion-delays and pulsating sine waves all over the place, so that you cannot really pigeonhole the stylistic approach, but that’s the way these Krauts artistically work. 
Haioka picked the introspective, wonderfully mastered piano-piece „Gravity“ from the tracklist and bathed the melancholic chords in quirky rhythms, vapour-like filtersounds and faint rewind-noises. Known for his tasteful balance of experimental and yet very tuneful compositions, the Japanese border crosser has delivered another Zen-like masterpiece.
The second interpretation of „Argon Decibel“ is delivered with straight-laced disco beat and a lot of appreciation for the original, since Keenhouse’s Sunlinxx records labelmate p e a c e Fire features all central elements of the playful original. This subtle funkiness combined with the strings, brass and empyrean vocals is a celestial event in the cathedral of slo disco.
The Elektromekanik Remix of „Into Silence“ is breaking the silence with a beefed-up Disco-House vibe which is basic for a track to lure the ladies on the dancefloor. The breezy track is keeping the easy-going feelgood vibe of the original alive, but shifting the attention from the chill of the melody-centered to the thrill of the groove.
Chilean’s prodigious Statickman, who has become the busiest man in the E& D Remix-canon, breaks his habbit of trimming the original with punchy synthpatterns.

Nineties techno hero Aphrohead announces his ‘Resurrection’ with an innovative new album for Crosstown Rebels. A welcome return for a stunning album courtesy of Felix Da Housecat techni moniker: Aphrohead.

A musical eccentric, prolific US DJ and producer Felix Stallings AKA Aphrohead / Felix Da Housecat has never been afraid to take risks and break new ground, consistently captivating the electronic music field for over two decades. He first burst onto the club scene in 1993 as Aphrohead with the timeless classic ‘In Thee Dark We Live’ which was licensed countless times and is benchmarked as one of the greatest techno records of all time. The first half of the album, with track ‘Resurrection’, ‘Klymaxx’ and ‘Come to Me’ is an escort to higher plains pleasing fans of Daft Punk and Giorgio Moroder Before the previously released single ‘Let’s Prance’ brings it’s futuristic tremors shifting the album into a new gear. The second part of the album brings a long-anticipated eruption, starting with the sinister sneer of ‘Elevator’ and the bohemian cries of ‘Grown Man Cry’, soon to be released on Crosstown Rebels as a single this autumn.

Aphrohead created a precedent in 90's techno on halcyon labels Bush, Global Cuts, Power Music, Thee Black Label & Radical Fear. His Felix Da Housecat alias went on to form the epicentre of the electro-clash scene and it was through this alias his friendship began with Crosstown Rebels pioneer Damian Lazarus, then at City Rockers. This Resurrection album is a welcome return to form.

Marc Romboy Vs. Blake Baxter - Muzik (Soundcloud Cut)

"You know them... They don´t dance, they don't smile - they just stare..". 

Douglas Greed has dedicated his latest track to those dancefloor prowlers and lead by the tongue-in-cheek vocal the track is quiet the dancefloor bomb. 

The guys at the label felt the need to put it out as quickly as possible and so decided that they'd create an exclusive offshoot imprint for this one. 

Initially to be released on a limited run of 300 x vinyl, the three track ep will eventually see a digital release later this year.... 

So here we go with DOUGI 01!
