EMMANUEL
D'illusions of Grandeur
Debut solo album released in 2006 including featured artists KRS1, Terri Walker, Michelle Escoffery, Mysdiggi fka Mystro, Braintax, Nate James and others.
"Colin Emmanuel's career plan, if the self-deprecating R&B producer could be accused of having one, is to follow Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, and step out from behind the mixing desk to front his own album. Being British, he has at his disposal a slightly less fabulous order of guest vocalists than his American rivals. But the self-critical UK R&B scene won't be able to find much fault with D'Illusion.
Emmanuel - who, as C-Swing, produced Jamelia and the Beta Band - keeps it tight and shiny, allotting guest spots to the best (if not most famous) people in his contacts book. The fame contingent is comprised of the uncle of agit-rap, KRS-One, and Mercury-nominated Terri Walker, but the latter's meandering Flirtin' is hardly the album's highlight. It's rising star Nate James and MCs Mystro and Braintax who have Emmanuel doing intriguing crossover things with beats; the results are rarely dull."

BLACK EINSTEIN
Whatever happened to Major Tom
Black Einstein is both the musical pseudonym of London based producer Colin Emmanuel and the name of his new collective project. “Whatever Happened To Major Tom” is it’s Bowie inspired debut offering, available as a free download on Bandcamp.
From the Black Einstein Collective It features the talented soulful singers Miss Baby Sol and Xavier Barnet and the MC skills of Mystro and Maseo from De La Soul.
Produced entirely by respected producer Colin Emmanuel (who has produced for a variety of internationally respected artists including Eric Roberson, Estelle, Jamelia, The Beta Band, Nate James, Sly & Robbie, KRS1 and Beverly Knight to name a few), the 5 song project takes Bowie songs and musical breaks and puts them into Black Einstein's arena where Hip Hop, Soul, Latin, Drum & Bass and other styles are mixed together to an incredible effect.
“It Aint Easy” and “Fascination” are the Bowie covers reinterpreted by the soulful vocals of Xavier Barnet (Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Ashford & Simpson, Percy Sledge).
Breaks from “Breaking Glass” and “The Secret Life of Arabia” become “Glass Ceiling” and “Arabia” respectively see UK MC Mystro (Junior Reid, Skinny Man, Mark de Clive Lowe, Main Flow, Jehst, Daniel Merriweather (Mark Ronson), The Nextmen, Dawn Penn, Blak Twang, P- Money, Rodney P, Braintax, Hilltop Hoods, Masta Ace) impeccable rap flows take charge and teaming up with Maseo Plug 3 from De La Soul on “Arabia”.
The classic “Space Oddity” is sampled and flipped for Miss Baby Sol (Paloma Faith, ROX, Tinchy Strider, Lazy Habits, Nutty P, Ty, DJ Ironk) to deliver a heartfelt vocal performance oozing with emotion, the end result being the anthemic “Common Ground”.
Built through friendships formed within the global musicians community, the collective centers around producer Colin Emmanuel (formerly known as C Swing) and builds on his previous solo release, Emmanuel - D’llusions of Grandeur.
