Karl X Johan | Never Leave Me (Change Request 2M19 Mix) For this 2M19 Mix, I went subaquatic, submerging the first single from the Swedish duo's debut. Released on Stockholm’s #Emotion imprint, “Never Leave Me” was the first single off of Swedish electro-pop duo Karl X Johan debut album in 2014. The tune itself is a looped slice of synthetic euphoria with a sticky hook that repeats the titular ref...

Vladimir Petrovic | Ballade (Change Request Nocturne)
 For this re-rub, I used clips of a video I found on Facebook of an artist whose work I have become to really admire. Serbian artist Vladimir Petrovic is a producer of lush electric soul music with a decided focus on his virtuosic guitar playing.  
 This particular song of his was a thirty-second video clip that checked off all the boxes for me...

Perseus | Cool Runnings (Change Request 2M19 Mix) For this remix, I update a very frequent summertime selection of mine from the French Express label founder, Perseus. “Cool Runnings” was released in 2012 on the New York City imprint on his Russian Girlfriends EP. It features prominently vocal samples from “After The Club” by Ashanti. This track has always been a favorite of mine since it’s releas...

Change Request | Hommage à Philippe This was created in memoriam to Philippe “Zdar” Cerboneschi, the highly influential production maestro. Cerboneschi became one of the fathers of the French Touch movement, as half of the duo Motorbass with Étienne de Crécy, but later joining forces with Hubert Blanc-Fracard to form Cassius. His work over the years included these two personal projects and La Fun...

Andrew Emil Feat. Mz. Gabriela & Reggie Hall | When She Spoke (Original Extended Mix) This record came out 14 years ago, but I produced it 16 years ago. I wrote this when I was 22 years old, and it was one of the first records where I felt the push to make organic mid-tempo jazz-laden deep house music. Mz. Gabriela Rodriguez and I met as she was a regular at a weekly house night called 3Degrees, h...

Vulfpeck | Disco Ulysses (Andrew Emil Dreamix) For this Dreamix, I finally got around to reworking a song from one of today’s foremost funk phenomenons, the formidable force known as Vulfpeck. Cory Wong, Jack Stratton, Theo Katzman, Woody Goss, and Joe Dart have made a career out of absolutely electric rhythmic counterpoint, virtuosic pocket playing, and crafting grooves that are just as infectiou...

Madonna | Live To Tell (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, I went after a top-three song from this artist and one that is considered the most exceptional ballad she ever wrote. "Live to Tell" is the lead single from Madonna's third studio album, 1986's True Blue and It became Madonna's third number-one single in the US, and her second number-one that is featured in a film after "Crazy for...

Her's | What Once Was (Ae's Dub Edit) Because This Was Needed @AndrewEmil

Brazill Feat. Cheri Soul | Needing Your Love (Change Request Dreamix) Being very fortunate to have crossed paths, as we see very much eye to eye about our perspectives on exploring and designing sound, it’s rare that I can find a writing partner that has as diverse of taste in music that they write, can keep up and has the chops. One of the most important musicians I have worked with—consistently—...

My birthday is coming up this week, May 29th, so I thought this would be a good time for me to give back—a musical gift—a piece of Chicago’s history. Last year, I had the opportunity, pleasure, and honor to author my first long-form content project. This substantial piece of journalism took form as an editorial documentary of the musical instrument product category. That product category happened...

Madison Avenue | Don't Call Me Baby [The Dronez Old School Mix] (Ae’s Dub Edit) For this personal DJ Tool, I am releasing a private stock Ae Dub Edit of a sleeper remix of the Australian duo’s first single off their only album, 2000’s “The Polyester Embassy”. Madison Avenue was an Australian electronic music duo consisting of writer-producer Andy Van Dorsselaer and singer-lyricist Cheyne Coates. “...

Andrew Emil | The Dub Is Right (For Kevin Mills) My good friend and fellow man of music—Kevin Mills—brought to my attention, yet again, some music from the fabric of our lives that was severely overlooked and under-appreciated. The music for the game show The Price Is Right, didn’t just have a catchy theme song—famously remade by Paul Johnson and another version by Crystal Waters called “Come On D...

Tangerine Dream | Canyon Voices (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, having two major objectives in sight—remake a less popular Tangerine Dream song, and only use one synth/category of synths to do it—I dug into a lesser know record of the German electronic music pioneers, Tangerine Dream. “Canyon Voices” is off of their fourteenth soundtrack album—Canyon Dreams—was stand out part of their...

Esbjörn Svensson Trio | Seven Days Of Falling (Change Request TripHop Dub) For this downtempo dub, I re-edited the title track off of their 2003 album of the same name and refocused it into a very golden-era NYC instrumental hip-hop version. Esbjörn Svensson became one of Europe's most successful jazz musicians at the dawn of the 21st Century, with albums like “EST Plays Monk”, “Gagarin's Point...

Deee-Lite | Groove Is In The Heart (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, I reconstructed the most famous and successful song from one of the leaders of the New York New School of the 1990s. Released as the first single from their debut album—World Clique—“Groove Is In The Heart” was released in August of 1990, and shot Deee-Lite into the stratosphere. This track’s crossover appeal was by de...

SG Lewis | All Night (Change Request ReRub) For this ReRub, I stripped down a track from a producer who has recently slid into regular rotation for me, SG Lewis. The UK based young talent enlisted London wonder-kid, Dornik, for the vocal stylings on this first single from his 2016 full-length LP, Dusk. Co-producing this track with Phairo, “All Night” utilizes a low slung groove with a decidedly Fr...

Daft Punk | Something About Us (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, I went after one of the less obvious hits from the French outfit. It’s always been a song of theirs that I have listened to more than any other. It’s a great example of subtle simplicity in harmonic motion and songwriting. “Something About Us” is the sixth and final single off of Daft Punk’s LP, Discovery, from 2001. This...

Oliver Cheatham | Get Down Saturday Night (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, I took on the most popular tune from an all-around Detroit mainstay, Oliver Cheatham. “Get Down Saturday Night” is the first single on his second album, 1983’s Saturday Night. The song reached number 37 on the Billboard R&B chart, as well as reaching number 38 on the UK Singles Chart that same year. Produced by...

Janet Jackson | Escapade (Change Request ReVision) For this ReVision, I took on the third single from her fourth album Rhythm Nation 1814, released in 1989. Written, recorded, and produced by the dynamic duo of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, “Escapade” peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in early March 1990, becoming Jackson's third number-one single, and her sixth consecutive...

Moloko | Sing It Back (Andrew Emil Dreamix) For this Dreamix, I put together a classic from an all-time favorite artist, Róisín Murphy. Written and performed by Murphy and English bassist Mark Brydon—from Chakk and Cloud Nine—this song was recorded under the name Moloko. Released as a single in 1999 off Moloko's second album, I Am Not a Doctor, “Sing It Back” peaked at #4 in the UK after it was gi...
