APPAREL PREMIERES

Once upon a time there was a collective of masked men who wanted be vinyl. They decided that the image that the world would have of them would be that of a record with human features, a masked anti-hero in the service of music. They called themselves Apparel Wax, to dress the sound in wax and to tell its rhythm, without declaring themselves, remaining in the darkness...

Francesco Zani - So Good (Moodymanc Jazz a Dub ft. Steve Parry)

Soul Groove returns to Feedasoul Records with a cracking three-tracker. Jazz at Muniaka Club brings forward Soul Groove’s signature soulful sound that we’ve grown to love. Heavily rooted in Jazz, the EP title track highlights his downtempo rhythm alongside a groove-laden bassline, and heartfelt woodwinds, balanced by atmospheric pads and synths. Part 2 provides more bounce with his club rework of the track. Straight drums, movement-inducing percussion and building sax samples outline the artist’s symmetry between Jazz and House Music.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Soul Groove - Muniaka Club Pt. 2 [Feedasoul]

We are all very excited about presenting the new catalogue for Apparel Music Limited. We decided to offer our fans an alternative point of view to complete our distribution package. Kisk, this time with the help of Gennaro Mastrantonio, is developing a new concept designed for a bigger dance hall. Whereas Apparel Music covers the daytime, warm-up and after-party side, Apparel Music Limited represents the night in all its different shades. We have chosen Francesco Gemelli to set our experimental work in motion. Francesco’s classic vocal house music takes us back in time, as if Disco Music never died and the ’90s still had something to say.. the aggressive, uncompromising rhythm of Spin My Mind melts into the love sounds of She Loves the ‘80s, as if travelling back in time were not enough, as if modern times were in the past and the past was hic et nunc, here and now. Ughl revamps the visuals in a Deep House version of She Loves the ‘80s, turning it into a very up-to-date track, while Gennaro gives Spin My Mind just the right trajectory for Limited Edition.

Francesco Gemelli - She Loves The 80's (Uglh Remix) [APLTD001]

Deep, up-tempo rolling basslines, soulful samples, warm pads, dreamy synths create a (post)lofi vibe. Joining the Berlin Bass Collective for the first time, LA native Edward White fits in nicely with his dreamy but club-focused sound. The record packs a tight, up-tempo feel, using deeper textures and counterbalancing them with a danceable groove—that perfect balance between sunshine and grit.

We are delighted to announce that July 2023 is the month in which you will finally be able to know the new Apparel Wax product: Apparel Wax Mini. The Mini catalogue (dedicated to 7-inch vinyl) fits into the narrative of our masked hero as a sort of prequel, as the 'Mini' vinyl represents the ‘childhood’ of Apparel Wax, his life before its music started to be heard around the world. Another novelty is that the first release is double. In fact, APLWAXMINI001 and 002 will drop on the same day, both containing two tracks, one on each side. With a physical product of different size, we have also adapted the graphic design of the project, as you’ll notice looking at the record. A new adventure begins in the world of the masked artist who, this time, will tell another musical story created by the now famous anonymous collective of phenomenal artists behind the project. APLWAXMINI001 is composed of two tracks perfect for the summer period, both with a very marked essence of lightness and groovy, both ideal to bring back the carefree and cheerful musical soul at the base of the project since its origins. We’re also back with Wax’s characteristic gift kits, which from now on will be strictly green and recyclable.

We're happy to host Interstate 55 duo as the next guest of our famous Apparel Radio Show. The Interstate 55 project was born of a friendship between two young students, Chris and Alex, at a warehouse party in South Chicago in 1995. Press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine between Chicago and Paris, the two guys helped promote the Underground sound in Europe, interviewing some of the greatest legends: Paul Johnson, Cajmere, Derrick Carter, Dance Mania Crew and more. 25 years after the most beautiful private parties, Alex returns to the mix to promote the underground once again, through various Radio Shows on SoundCloud, with current tones and the launch of a label planned for next year. Welcome to Interstate 55 and their mix, on the 255th episode of the Apperel Music's Apparel Radio Show.

If you find something really special you need to listen the first Kerem Akdag’ LP. A research work lasted a year, between Istanbul and New York. Cultures that combine to create a sound unique. The deep meets the 'r & b, the soulful voice of Kerem fly on the streets between tubings of groove. Up and down, garage disco, broken bliss, funk and jazzy, unquestionably cool, haunting vibe. The theme that gives the name to 'Expressive’ has been remixed by the legendary Nachtbraker, the new talent who returns to delight us with a sexy vocal version and a dub mix for clubbin’ lovers only. Image courtesy by Andrea Contin, graphics and project curated by Giuseppe D'Alessandro, mastered by Stefan Eichinger (aka LOPAZZ) studio.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Sable Blanc - Remember the Feeling (of Love) [Oath]

Apparel Music is stoked to drop the second EP by Ghosten, and trust, this Danish producer ain’t playin’. This new record, droppin' on November 1, 2024, is all the proof you need that Ghosten’s got that serious talent and creative juice. The EP’s got three amazing tracks, and the lead single “Believe!” -out the 18th of October 2024- already set the vibe right. Now that we’re on this second chapter with Ghosten on AM, we can see the man ain’t about to sit back and coast. He is not here to just ride on past successes or walk the same old path. Ghosten’s out to keep pushing the envelope, throwing down challenges for his listeners with “Believe!” The sound he’s bringing to the table hits you with those nostalgic vibes from the golden days of late '90s Norwegian House, and more broadly, that Scandinavian House flavour. It's packed with rich harmonic breaths, solid, assertive rhythms that pull you straight back to the dance floor, to the heart of the club scene. “Life Is A Multiplayer Game” kicks off the EP with a deep, groove-heavy vibe. It’s like Ghosten’s takin’ you on a journey through a world where life’s a game, and the beat’s the only guide you need. The layers of rhythm and melody intertwine, creating a rich soundscape that’s as complex as life itself—just like in a multiplayer game where you never know what’s coming next. “Love Might” is all about that sensual, late-night energy. Ghosten dials it down just a notch, giving space for the groove to breathe and evolve. This track is soaked in emotional depth, with lush chords and a rolling bassline that feels like it’s pulling you into a warm embrace. Finally, the title track, “Believe!”, rounds off the EP with an anthemic energy that’s undeniable. This one’s got that classic House vibe, with driving rhythms and uplifting harmonies. It’s a track that dares you to believe in the magic of the moment, in the collective experience of losing yourself in the music. Ghosten’s clearly channeling the spirit of a great personal inspiration, with a modern twist that keeps it fresh and vital.

Ghosten - Believe!

Apparel Music Radio show is happy to present a exclusive evergreen mix by Delano Smith.
Delano's attention to programming sets that are kinetic, emotional and educational are met with a delivery of the highest class. Having been one of the original young guns personally mentored by Motown’s 1st DJ, Ken Collier, he displays skills entirely unique to this group. Having cut his teeth in a time when an aspiring DJ had to live off his wits to make the cut, his dynamic skill set has made him the real Detroit head's secret favorite. Smith's extended hiatus later in his DJ years was ended spectacularly when the Detroit Beatdown project again highlighted his talent. Teamed with Mike ‘Agent X' Clark and Norm Talley, the crew began to spread the word of Detroit to fresh audiences, in demand globally and touching down at renowned clubs such as London's Fabric en route.

On the production front, Delano stands head and shoulders above the rest in crafting alluring, forward thinking and highly danceable grooves. His productions on Third Ear, Sushitech and Still Music have taken up crate spaces with jocks looking to add the perfect blend of soul and energy to their sets. With his own imprint Mixmode debuting in 2003, it continues to release selectively soulful dance floor gems. Both behind the decks and in the studio, Delano's genre boundary defying vision of working a floor is a direct link to the beginnings of the DJ in Detroit, maintaining his integrity today, his hunger shows little sign of abating.

Quotes:

"Delano - Watching you play brings back so many memories!. I used to go listen to you long before I ever wanted to become a DJ. At the YWCA, Downstairs Pub with Ken. I'm following you. Keep it comin'!." - Jeff Mills

"Without Delano there would be no Derrick". - Derrick May

"Delano is the first and last of Detroit." - Chez Damier

On the shores of Te Moana-a-Toi, where the Bay of Plenty kissed the city of Tauranga, a pair of friends, kindred spirits bound by rhythm and melody, found inspiration in the whispers of the sea breeze and the laughter of the sunlit waves. These two, Groundhog, were purveyors of groove. One morning, as the first lights danced across the water, they stood atop Mauao, the sacred mountain overlooking their hometown. The air was alive with energy, as if the earth itself hummed in anticipation of what was to come. It was there, under the glow of the rising sun, that inspiration struck. The first melody emerged full of promise. They called it “Be The One” and it captured the belief that every step forward was a chance to be someone’s light. Later, as they wandered through the bustling markets of Tauranga, the vibrant energy of the people ignited their imagination. This became the soul of “What’s That”, a playful groove infused with funky beats that seemed to ask a question without ever needing an answer. A celebration of curiosity. As the day turned to twilight, the hum of the ocean and the glow of the moon inspired the final “Chandeliers”. This track was their homage to the night, to moments of intimacy and wonder shared under a canopy of glittering lights. With the three tracks complete, Groundhog knew they had captured the spirit of Tauranga, the energy of rebirth, the thrill of discovery and the quiet magic of connection. They called their creation Be The One EP, a sonic invitation for the world to step out with open hearts and moving feet. On March 28 2025, as spring unfolds in the Northern Hemisphere, you will hear what Te Moana-a-Toi has whispered to these two souls. From the shores of the Bay of Plenty to dance floors everywhere, the Be The One EP is ready to bloom, one beat at a time, on Apparel Music.

Groundhog - Be The One

'Can’t Get Enough' is the 2nd single from the forthcoming Alexander Flood album ‘Artifactual Rhythm’ (out this April), and it's ready to ignite dance floors the world over.

Clubland is gonna feel this one, as Alex’s infectious beats lay the groundwork for a powerful auditory experience, showcasing his brilliant band’s exceptional musical prowess. With the brilliant vocals of New York soul queen Vivian Sessoms gracing the track with her soulful, classic house vocal, listeners will be transported to the euphoric nights of past raves and underground parties, where the energy is high and the rhythms unrelenting. This collaboration not only captures the essence of house music but also resonates with anyone who has ever lost themselves in the magic of a night out, making ‘Can’t Get Enough’ an anthem for the dance community and a must-add to every DJ’s playlist. Prepare for an exhilarating journey that celebrates the purity of sound, rhythm, and the joy of dance in the heart of the electronic music scene.

In the heart of a city in the world bathed by the sea, where sun-kissed mornings roll into neon-lit nights, a young dreamer found his rhythm in the city's endless buzz. He wasn’t just a lover of music, he felt it in the pulse of every passing car and the murmur of conversations in crowded cafés. His journey to creating the Headspace EP was more than just about beats; it was about capturing the essence of love itself. One evening, while spinning records at a tucked-away rooftop party, he met her. As the stars peeked through the city haze, the two found themselves vibing to the same groove, the music weaving an invisible thread between them. They danced, talked, and dreamed until dawn painted the horizon.Inspired by their connection, he went to work. The first track “For the Lovers” is a celebration of serendipity and the joy of finding someone who moves to your rhythm. But love, as he discovered, is more than just fireworks; it’s also a steady, enduring warmth. From that realisation came “Strictly Love” a House anthem that radiates pure affection. Now, these two tracks make up the Headspace EP, a soulful journey released on Apparel Music, a label dedicated to spreading love through sound. So turn it up, feel the beat, and let the music remind you: love is the ultimate rhythm.

Another killer quartet from Germany's Damian Rausch here, featuring some of his most powerful work to date. 'Together (Big Room Mix)' started out as a remix for Chez Damier & Ben Vendren's H2H project before morphing into the track you hear now. It sits at the perfect mid-point between skippy '90s house and atmospheric progressive (those stabs tho!), seamlessly blending the deep and the driving with an array of lush sounds peppered throughout the mix. 'Let The Sunshine In (Club Mix)' is pumping while maintaining a deep edge, driven by sorrowful organ bass and a haunting tone surrounding Sulene Fleming's powerhouse vocal, invoking turn-of-the-millenium chart dance classics. 'Twister' heads deeper into proggy grooves, tempered soulful vocal strains, while 'Windows' goes further into heads-down territory, whipping up a relentless hypnotic groove.

Transitioning from the successful 2 Years EP (O Sótão Records, 2023), Tiago Fonseca became an up and coming Producer and DJ based between Lisbon and Porto. On the back of gigs at some of the best clubs in the country, he also transitions from Tiago A.F. to TGZ (sounding Tigz) as his moniker for what’s to come ahead. Long Shape, his latest project, is O Sótão’s first vinyl release, and the first to be delivered with higher standards of professionalism. Learning the trade, the processes, the timeframes, the costs, and having just completed 10 years of existence. A good time to go a bit deeper.

A sonic journey rooted in origins, history, and the interconnectedness of humanity, BAOBAB is a five-track EP inspired by Mambele’s 2024 trip to Senegal.

Web Web with their sixth album in seven years and with a new touch. More psychedelic, sometimes more krauty than before. This time, WEB WEB in their original line - up (without Max Herre) have (again) chosen a special guest: JJ Whitefield (The Poets Of Rhythm / Karl Hector & The Malcouns / Syrup), who contributes the fantastic guitar sound. His riffs are sometimes funky as with the Poets Of Rhythm or Syrup, or more psychedelic as with Karl Hector & The Malcouns or his many live and studio recordings with Embryo. The sound color of his guitar gives the album the thrust into the wonderful atmosphere of spacey jazz - kraut bands of the seventies.

Following the critical acclaim of their self-titled debut EP, praised by the likes of scene figures such as Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Laurent Garnier, Kevin Beadle, Pat Steel or Shy One, the Marseilles quartet Angles Morts is back with a four-track EP reflecting further growth in their sound. Drawing on the idea of itinerancy inspired by their wanderings on the roads of southern France, the project showcases a stunning soundscape, filled with the hypnotic textures provided by their arsenal of synths including Prophet Rev-2, Roland Alpha Juno 1, Emu-Orbit and Nord Lead A1. With its racing bass line, syncopated chords and dusty drums, the opening track “Macadam Freak” is a superb statement of the band's sound, concluding with a dreamlike saxophone solo by Matthieu Fabre.

His sound feels fresh and genuine, pushing things forward while staying rooted in the tradition of house.A real slice of what we’re all about: honest, warm, and made to keep you moving.

APL005 Review

"The London based Label Apparel Music releases a fresh and uplifted splitsingle from Delano Smith and Gavin Herlihy. Both tracks are a perfect mixture of timeless deepness and modern club roughness."Delano`s Deep Space Mix" of Gavins "Krypton Factor" takes the sound of both artists and fits it in a dreamy synth tune which already hitting the floors of the Miami partys this year." (Wordandsound) 

"Der Track von Delano Smith mit seinem feinen Swing, der tief in das Grollen der Hintergroundsounds eingebettet ist und die einfache, aber sehr trockene Stimme überzeugen mich vom ersten Moment, auch wenn eigentlich nicht mehr viel darüber hinaus geschieht. "Krypton Factor" von Herlihy zeigt ihn in bester steppender Minimalhouselaune und lässt viel Raum für den für ihn typischen Funk, der sich durch die dennoch sehr ruhig gleitenden Sounds zieht. Dazu noch ein mehr an Chicago-Klassik erinnernder Remix von Delano, der mittendrin in die galaktischen Weiten abdriftet." (De:Bug)

"Just because you call your song "Lost in Detroit" doesn't mean you're necessarily from Detroit. That's the case here, though, and I'll admit I wouldn't have guessed without looking it up. That track, first up on this excellent EP, is Delano Smith's, and it's got enough of a basic fuzzy quality—that filmy kind of filtering that gives things a shade of static, a purposeful analog feel—that it could have come from just about anywhere that sort of thing is in vogue, which is probably just about anywhere house reigns supreme. But that alien zone is increasingly crowded, and Smith's touches of stick percussion kick it up a couple places. Smith's reworking of Gavin Herlihy's "Krypton Faktor" is similarly cool, but here the beat carries a lot more tonnage. The drums are fiercely articulated and a big synth riff joins two minutes in just to amp things up for real. Herlihy's original "Krypton Faktor" is different again: lengthy, ruminative, spooky in texture without being a forbidding listen. The smoky cloudy organ effect that provides the hook draws you to it." (Resident Advisor)


Plain and Simple TV

What does it sound like? 
A little slice of quality, deep but not dull tech courtesy of US producer Delano Smith and Briton Gavin Herlihy. The EP is dominated by its title track thanks to an additional remix, but does come with a well worth buying B-side. Starting with the A though things are comparable to Siesta's hey day and the tougher, more electro edges of the old West Coast sound, meaning driving but groovy basslines and inviting percussion abounds, while there's also an obvious techno zeitgeist in the brew too. Smith's own remix reduces the stabbed tempo and opts for a cosmic disco workout that's no less reliant on the low end than its predecessor was. Then there's Lost In Detroit, which falls somewhere in between the mechanical soul of said city's newcomers and Stacey Pullen's smooth techy stylings, capped off with a guy saying something hypnotic. Just don't ask us what it's got to do with the 1980s TV series.

Where would I dance to it? 
Anywhere and everywhere, particularly after Villalobos apparently dropped both original and remix when Herlihy passed him a copy at a gig in Leeds.

What highlights can I expect to hear? 
For us Lost In Detroit is the winner, as is anything that boasts such rhythm. Dark, dirty, and with all the hallmarks of classic tech house this is one all sides of the four four camp can get down to.

Why should I pay for it? 
As ever it's a question of morality.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Sune - Manni Giovanni [Mostly Cozy]

Jazzy Tourism is the first work that establish Apparel Music in the electronic music market. Apparel seeks to combine differents hemispheres, trying to impress on vinyl every mood and emotion. Every song is built for narrow audience, mental, impatient, just like jazz, get something of magical on the dance floor. The original mixes offers a simple way to structure and pushing the batteries, deep bass, funny reasons to open the way for jazzy. Kisk is a good media between sound and audience; working properly jazz samples , as if this was made for his own style. Lopazz & Zarook’s remixes are placed on a road whose direction is the catharsis. One more reason to discover huge basses that fill up the stomach slowly, till to corrode any space, We can define it ‘psyco deep’. SCSI-9 surprise us with special effects, supporting theyr grooves, with the exception of a saxophonist (Prof. Morriarti) and an unforgettable motive wich of course weíll sing under the shower. The vinyl close with Yapacc’s version wich bring us into the funky minimal’s world, towards dark moments weíll arrive in the room of lights. Clubby!
