Yan Cook - Freefall

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.

Keith Carnal - Second Degree [SEC004]
Label: SEC ND
Release date: 27th November 2020
Vinyl + Digital

Amsterdam's techno talent Keith Carnal returns to his own Second Degree with a fresh four tracker.

Keith Carnal's techno has a signature sound that draws on rich melodies and locked-in groove - it is made for dancing but comes with an ominous feeling of melancholy that makes a lasting impact. He also layers in percussion that immerses his audience ever deep and as well as DJing around the globe has also released on Affin LTD, Arts and his very own Second Degree imprint.

He kicks off his latest powerful missive with the driving, rock solid kicks of 'Hope', a dark and alluring track where the heavenly synths bring the only light to the groove. 'Endless' is a peak-time cut that will have you riding on the edge of your seat thanks to its high speed arps and icy hi hats, all racing along over more firmly rooted kick drums.

Carnal's cultured studio craftsmanship is laid bare once more on the pounding, stripped back yet compelling 'Daily Route' which is linear techno with a soulful synth sound that takes you well into the future on a mysterious vibe. Closer 'Sadly Mistaken' has taught, pining kick drums and spooky howling synth sounds that are brilliantly unsettling as you march onwards.

Keith Carnal ‘SEC004’ drops on Second Degree in 27th November 2020.

Tracklist:
1. Hope
2. Endless
3. Daily Route
4. Sadly Mistaken
