The solo project from composer Ken Rangkuty, Keenhouse delivers a unique blend of electronic wizardry and dreamy synth-pop that creates something richer your average bedroom dreampop. The demos that would become Keenhouse's debut Civic Transit were a reaction to Rangkuty's own desires to combine his own extensive training on piano with a desire to make communicative pop music of his own. Taking inspiration from his diverse upbringing in Indonesia and Germany, Keenhouse's music drifts around nostalgic takes on a youth remembered only in dreams. Themes of teenaged innocence, young love, and futuristic fantasies paint a picture of equal [...]
Keenhouse is about to unleash another EP on his label, Sunlinxx . " Better Days " is made of two parts, the first is an ever building disco-house beast and the second is some old-skool Chicago-House beats. It's released March 5th with two other tracks, " Release Me " and " Skyscrapers ". Better Days (1) by keenhouse Better Days (2) by keenhouse [...]
In March, one of out favourite musicians (note, I said musician, not producer!) Keenhouse is back with a new EP, 'Better Days'. The new record is four tracks of Keenhouse's freeform Disco that, once again, perfectly display Ken's exceptional talent both as in instrumentalist and an arranger. The last few years have seen Keenhouse move more and more into an almost Jazz take on Nu-Disco and 'Better Days' is no exception. It's a melting pot of ideas, effortlessly shifting from style to style, from riff to riff, everything held in place with a deep disco groove. [...]
On March 5 (Beatport) and March 13 (worldwide) LA producer Keenhouse will be back with a new EP on Sunlinxx Records entitled "Better Days". Apparently the days have been so good so Mr Keenhouse has included not one, but two tracks called "Better Days", with the obvious goal to double the goodness. And good they, indeed, are. I really, really like how he has transformed his sound from a softer more dreamwave sound, to a deeper garage sound. Don't get me wrong, I liked him before, but I think I like this even better. Apart from [...]
Keenhouse has always been on the radar be his moist remixes or stunning originals over the years - it really is hard for the LA resident to put a foot wrong with "Better Days" another glowing example of good music . For starters the track is long, like really long and measures in at + 7 minutes, it also moves slightly away from the super lush/dreamy stuff and purrs along like an auto built for the road - hugging the corners and accelerating effortlessly. Seems like a nu-disco house crossover... [...]
Rhythm Droid 's " Sunrise On Planet Tokyo " is a getting a re-release and re-mastering courtesy of Keenhouse's Sunlinxx label. If you dont remember, two years ago we made it our " Track of 2009 ".

Tokyo based producer Rhythm Droid drops a new single for Sunlinxx next week. It's gonna' be huge! 'Sunrise On Planet Tokyo' is an epic seven minutes but never gets boring, there's always a new layer, a new musical insert about to happen in the track. Taking the best of beach Dreamwave and late night Nu-Disco, Rhythm Droid takes the listen, or dancer, on a journey that's set up by a simple, but infectious hook that is used to always deliver something new. Label buddy Keenhouse in on the reMix with a euphoric [...]
The return of Keenhouse has gone slightly unoticed in the blogosphere, with synth-wizard releasing a new EP, "The Summer Society" on his own label, Sunlinxx . Those expecting the Sesame Street synth vibes of his Civic Transit EP are going to be a little surprised, this EP still sounds like Keenhouse, but, this a producer who has matured a fair bit since you've last heard him.... Lead track, "The Summer Society", is the standout. Classic house-pianos meets squelchy synths, with a little bit of Jazz thrown in... and it builds... boy does it build. [...]

One thing you can always bet on with new music from Keenhouse is that it'll smash your preconceived ideas of what you think it's going to be. On the cusp of the release of his second album comes the Summer Society EP , which takes the Civic Transit style of Keenhouse on a summer vacation to the beach and chills and distills the groove into something new, yet something still very Keenhouse in sound and spirit. A word is not spoken or sung over the four tracks which lets [...]

This September Disco/Funk/ElectroPop wizard Keenhouse released a brand new EP for Sunlinxx Records. Keenhouse's trademark had always been raw talent when his fingers meet the keys. A musician before a producer his ear for melody and riffs shines through in the four track 'The Summer Society' EP. The four tracks give us a nice variety too. From the jazzed-up Nu-Disco of the title track and laid back beach Funk of 'Piu Electric' to the Acid Tropical Cosmic Disco (yes!) of 'Lost Constellation' and the chilled 'Homestill' that eases you out of the EP with sweet tunes. [...]
Christian Strobe is the new project of Christian Schnall . I've never heard of his name before, so I checked his other projects (Disco Trash Music and Spruce) and found out he handles 3 quite different genres, including this new one. I'm not huge fan of the other projects but this track "Midnight Call" is just so delightful. It's a catchy pop track, but id doesnt over do it. The press release describes it quite well, "airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house". Yes, that's it! Luckily, the radio edit of the original is free to share, so.. enjoy! [...]
A man who's always been a bit ahead of the game when it comes to retro synths dance music, Keenhouse , provides one of the reMixes for Christian Strobe 's début single. Christian Strobe is the brand new solo-project of Christian Schnall, fifty percent of Disco Trash Music and Spruce, who's 'Midnight Call' is a deep Housey ElectroPop track that Keenhouse gives a summery piano led sheen. Bringing a slightly Balearic vibe to his work Keenhouse combines the sunrise beats with a massive 90's House riff and Nu-Disco production that uplifts the vocals into a euphoric [...]
