"Without an artist name attached, the material shines through without any preconceived notions and the music simply speaks for itself. Pure dancefloor magic."
Mixmag, WW
"Amusingly, Apparel Music is marketing mystery producer Apparel Wax as "the vinyl-faced artist who tears dancefloors apart"
Juno Records, Uk
After 7 years in the game, Apparel Music strikes again in style with a brand new concept. The main ingredient of this recipe called "Apparel Wax" is quality music, without any compromise or distinction. Apparel Wax is the aka of an unknown/unanimated artist, brought to life by many talented international ghost producers who, from now on, will be pulling Apparel Music's strings.
The 1st release will be a limited 300 copies (180gr) edition with a special surprise: a kit to build your own Apparel Wax goggles.
APLWAX002 is once more a concentrate of groovy beats, catchy melodies and vibrant harmonies that come together to create a solid 4 tracks release with an only one soul: the soul of the music we love to dance to. Indeed, the whole EP doesn’t sound like an assembled work, on the contrary is more a complete entity that moves together in an organic way since the very first track till the last one, creating an impactful musical story.
The 2nd vinyl comes together with a APLWAX002 Logo Air Balloon (Punchball!), to keep the party on!
Relentless Apparel Wax never misses a beat and is back at it with APLWAX003, the 3rd chapter of the saga. The release is made up of 3 tracks, 3 distinct parts of the same engine, 3 proper dance floor bangers. The 2nd tune will have you right away when you’ll hear those tribal rhythmics and hypnotic vocals that drive it till the end while the 3rd is the typical one you’d call a “peak time track”; that tune you drop when the ballroom has warmed up enough and is ready to finally step up!
Included in the release pack you’ll find the Apparel Wax #Pencil as we thought that after you listened to the 3 tracks of the 3rd release, you might end up wanting to play tris!?! (300 limited copies only).
Here we are for the 4th round of Apparel Wax and a crazy one indeed for all the lovers of the vinyl masked man, a release that expresses 4 different nuances of House. Mixmag, Delicieuse Musique and Sloth Boogie premieres APLWAX004 in the end of July. Top seller in Decks Records, Juno Records and Traxsource!
You might be curious about what we’re gonna give you as a present this time: a full Connect4 kit as we always like to play with numbers, right? (250 copies only)
Apparel Wax is about to hit your fall hard with the 5th gem of the collection! Four tracks delivering our approach to this sound but always from different perspectives, which helps us to maintain that fresh energy we need to be able to keep on doing what we do. Top seller in Deejay.de, Juno Records and Traxsource!
This time the little treat you’ll find with the vinyl (limited to the first 250 copies / 500) is an Apparel Wax trademarked mini jelly slapping hand, to always remember not to take ourselves too seriously!
5th of July (digitally the 5th of August), that’s the release date of Apparel Wax’s 6th work on the catalogue. The masked hero comes back after the LP with a 3 tracks EP landing in the summertime and it’s yet again worth the wait, as it brings back hints of that nu-disco house music we learnt to love but together with a new touch.
This time, for the first to purchase the record, we’ll give away an Apparel Wax kit to play snakes & ladders with a custom made #dice (limited to the first 200 copies).
Apparel Wax comes back after a long summer with another EP, the 7th of its catalogue and yet again another display of four different musical approaches brought together as one. The EP is, indeed, a 4 tracks one and starts off with a groovy execution of a classic house track, an archetypical and simple house tune with a defined personality and the perfect start, from square one.
This time we'll treat you with a very special branded practical bag. A small bag, to put inside small things, important things. Once you'll open it that little vinyl smell contained inside ("Air De Wax") will forever evaporate but you'll know that the bag will be forever useful! (only first 200 customers, while stocks)
The eighth chapter of the Apparel Wax saga brings with it, as always, a multitude of sounds and suggestions. The masked producer always manages to renew himself, bringing something new and special to each record but always remaining faithful to his musical line. Another small masterpiece of production and music selection by Apparel Wax.
This time we give you an Apparel Wax bottle opener while from the cover you can get a panel to play battleship, with the hope of making these complex days a little lighter and more playful.
Apparel Wax is back with the 9th gem of its catalogue, a stunning six track EP out worldwide on the 28th of June 2021. The vinyl faced hero always wants to grow, therefore is on a constant quest for the evolution of its music and this record proves it once again being it a superb array of assorted sounds. A perfect EP to start the warmest season with the hope of being able to enjoy the outdoors without restrictions.
The vinyl’s gadget this time is a yo-yo which, if you think of it, is just two discs making love.
Four years and ten releases later we can say that Apparel Wax -the vinyl-faced hero- has been able to always renew itself and its sound because, as our manifesto says, we try not to submit to any genre. We wanted every release to be the outcome of a long research through uncommon sounds and APLWAX010, yet again, is an unidentified sonic object picked up by our radar. The last one though!
This time you’ll find the Waxs #plectrum with the vinyl a little gadget to stimulate your musical fantasies.'
We are proud to announce the arrival of Apparel Wax LP001, our first LP which opens a new catalogue dedicated to albums. The amazing artists who are taking part in the collective knew since day 1 that they had to put on a mask if they wanted to partake in this adventure; knowing how important is to “appear” nowadays we wanted to prove that we could make great music without the help of the big names. So far so good.
This time around you might find our gadget (a black condom) a bit odd but there’s something special behind our choice. We thought that in a messed-up world is important to protect ourselves from the wrong experiences, therefore as in love and sex also in music our artists are free to experiment, finding protection behind our label.
