AppaRec

NEWS, ghost collective

We’re thrilled to introduce you to AppaRec, a new project coming out of Apparel Music’s factory. With Apparec we’re aiming to focus on a form of musical expression we want to bring back to the spotlight, the Mixtape.

Apparel Wax

REVIEW Juno Records

"Amusingly, Apparel Music is marketing mystery producer Apparel Wax as "the vinyl-faced artist who tears dancefloors apart"

#Staywaxed

ARTIZHAN

FEATURED

Artizhan is the new guise of Naples - born , Milan - based artist Franky B aka Cryptic Monkey, a three time DMC world champion with a penchant for dynamic experimental sounds.

LEON REVOL

FEATURED

Leon is a producer and DJ based in Bordeaux, France. Drummer at the base, he started to manipulate parents' music which turned quickly to obsession of melodic synths, ondulating drums patterns and dusty sounds.

LOURE

FEATURED

Next up in the “Apparel Music Limited” series is Loure with a 4 track EP which also includes a remix by Saine. The name of this work by the Aussie is “Smooth Talk” and it contains all the stylistic elements that make the Melbournian one of the most talented in the scene at the moment. Mixmag, Delicieuse Musique and Les Yeux Orange premieres in march.

DELANO SMITH

FEATURED

Of the original crop of Detroit DJs, Delano Smith is one of the few still dedicated to the craft. Reflecting on house and techno without his influence would reveal a very different musical landscape today.

SCHiLLiNG

FEATURED

SCHiLLiNG has been looking for a sound of his own since he was 4. As the journey continued he found himself in versatility of music, as a chance to express all his nuances as an artist, and he found a warm place to express his concept in Apparel Music's family.

SCSI-9

FEATURED

So let's go for the history lesson…
It's been a remarkable Road that Kompakt veterans Anton Kubikov and Maxim Miluytenko have travelled
since embarking as Moscow's most endearing Minimal-
Techno/house act SCSI-9.

KISK

FEATURED

"If you’re not familiar with the ethos behind London based Apparel Music then take a look at their logo. “The two dogs in our logo are the yin and yang, day and night, good and bad, the contrast generated by everything... but above all love.” Pouring nothing but love into his label is Giuseppe D'Alessandro - aka Kisk – a beatsmith from Milan who promises to take jazz with him wherever he goes."

MANGABEY

REVIEW

Mangabey hails from France, but this release on Apparel could have come from Detroit or New York. On the title track, he mines jazz and soul influences to deliver a groove laden down with cosmic keys and vocal utterances...

MOONY ME

FEATURED

Eduardo A. Arreaza, aka Moony Me, is a German-Venezuelan producer and DJ, based in Munich/Vienna. The music selection in his sets ranges from the atmospheric, deep and slow over disco to more ravy and uplifting house. Steady sophisticated and dreamy. Just like his productions.

SARP YILMAZ

FEATURED

“Electronic Music Artist From Istanbul… I like to do stuff like doing records and spinnin them.Some people take interest in what I do, This is what this is all about. ” So self-describes Sarp Yilmaz , apparently not being fond of talking in big letters about himself .

JACKY 0

FEATURED

Giacomo Cella has been writing letters to an imaginary pen-pal named Zero since he was a kid. In these letters, he carefully inspects and explores the tiniest details of his own inner labyrinths, from the more joyful and uplifting allies all the way to the darkest corners...

LISTEN

LOPAZZ

You probably best know Lopazz for the quality, avant-garde club music he’s produced for labels like Get Physical, Cocoon Rec., Pokerflat and London’s legendary Output Recordings, but his career as a multimedia artist is far more colourful and diverse than you might’ve imagined.

KEREM AKDAG

FEATURED

The story began when Kerem started to play drums and gravitated towards playing funk and blues tracks. During high school, curiosity led him to production with influences stemming directly from soul and hip-hop.

ACCATONE

FEATURED

José Reis, or Accatone name of the first Pasolini movie derived by his cinema graduation, is a beggar for groove and rhythm. He’s also fond of 808 drum samples and lush chords. This can get him into trouble when in the company of other house heads but shows his willingness to test the boundaries of his chosen genre with often great results.
