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.

From deep musical origins in Detroit, rapper/singer/songwriter Illa J has been slowly navigating his way through the oft-turbulent waters of Hip-Hop since the tender age of 13, when the young John Yancey aka Illa J wrote his first rhyme alongside his brother, the late great J Dilla. After his brother’s passing in ‘06, he began teaching himself piano, bass and taking vocal lessons while finding himself touring the world and recording a slew of Dilla-related projects, notably being an active member of Slum Village until 2014. His first solo album, '08s Yancey Boys and the Frank Nitt 2013 collaborative album Sunset BLVD were both released on seminal label Delicious Vinyl. Feeling the need for a change creatively as well as geographically, in 2012 John moved to the future music hotbed that is Montreal ultimately making the connection with Canadian producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical aka Potatohead People (whose acclaimed Bastard Jazz debut album Big Luxury in Spring 2015 featured Illa J on two hit singles). The success of their initial collaborations inspired the team to dive into the studio and embark on Illa J's new self-titled solo album, and present an entirely fresh sound of his own.
 
The album Illa J, produced without any samples by Potatohead People alongside a few groundbreaking co-producers, showcases a more mature and at-ease Illa J who is equally comfortable on top of an electronic boogie-inspired beat (“Universe”) as he is getting grimey over a trunk rattling G-Funk joint (the Kaytranada co-produced “Strippers”). On tracks like the sparse, Rhodes driven “Cannonball” (co-produced by Montreal’s Noo Bap), and the early 90s Spiritual / Acid Jazz inspired “Sunflower”, Illa flexes his muscles through both song and rhyme. And of course being true to his roots, the classic Detroit boom-bap sound is ever present on joints like “French Kiss”, “Perfect Game” (quite possibly Rap’s only ode to bowling), and “Never Left”, a touching tribute to his brother and a call-out to abusers of Dilla's legacy.  Vancouver mainstay MC Moka Only contributes invaluably to the cohesive sound of the album as well, providing signature smoothed-out vocal choruses to tracks like “She Burned My Art”, “All Good Pt. 2” and “Who Got It” (co-produced by Mosaic). Dropping Fall 2015 on Bastard Jazz Recordings, Illa J is a brilliantly-produced, diverse, and long overdue solo effort from Yancey.

The next release on Roush Label comes from Italian tag-team, Luigi Rocca and RUDE. Their 'Lagger Master' EP consists of three fresh original cuts, loaded with plenty of contemporary tech house flavours and geared perfectly for the dancefloor. The title track opens the show with blistering pace. Piercing drums and sharp hat rhythms are accompanied by a rough and groovy bassline, tied up nicely with offbeat percussion, vocal and synth injections. Expect big buildups with huge amounts of energy and hammering drops. 'Matto Grosso' follows up with a more deep tech feel, the kind of stuff that Luigi is well known for with his 303Lovers imprint. An essentially sophisticated number with lots of tasty low-frequency action driven throughout. Don't get too relaxed, though, as the transitions will sneak up on you out of nowhere with their unexpected extremities. Finally, 'The Switch' reverts back to uptempo tech, driven by its emphasis on percussion and groove. Heavyset kicks and a rumbling sub bounce the track along nicely, being supplemented by subtle melodic hits and a catchy vocal kook. Another track with a lot of personality, mostly attitude and grit, perfect for dark and loud club spaces! Luigi Rocca & Rude (IT) 'Lagger Master' EP is proudly presented by Roush Label.

The next artist in Be One Records don’t need to be presented, Josu Freire is back to the family. Exactly 2 years ago he got a Top1 with us in MinimalDeeptech Beatport style with his Free Life Ep. He wanted to share with all of us a new reedit of this great track. To complete the release he made another bomb called Yoruba that we think a lot of you will love to play for this spring and summer season. We hope you like it. Be One

Chapter OCD008
As 'the vibration war' rages on, an overcrowded Earth relies on research conducted by scientists in remote stations across the solar system. One of these, a small experimental research station on the planet Nibiru, is run solely by the insignificant Others. Their mission is to monitor the use of the Silent Sound Spread Spectrum and other government frequency weapon systems. These systems are capable of producing destructive tones into millions of watts straight into the ionosphere, directly into our homes, and through all of us.  

 iO1 and iO2 have been isolated on Nibiru for several years and to avoid going crazy on 'noise' duty they have been supplied with the hypnotic drug 'blue dreamer'. Under the influence of the disco-techy 'blue dreamer', it is possible to unravel and understand these tones and take us deeper and further on our path of transcendence.   

The government are convinced that the iOs are very close to 'aborting time' so have sent in a psychotic but glitched-up robot called W.A.F.E to kidnap and replace them. W.A.F.E. is powered by vibrations extracted from everyday microwave ovens, HDTVs, wireless routers, cellular phones and basically every text message we send and receive.   

 Will the iOs have enough time to block out these deliberately harmful tones thus releasing us all to mental, emotional, and sensory awareness or will the robots overpower the humans and start running tings.   

To be continued….
