incredible! track id? who's rework of TTWLG?

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!

We didn’t plan it, we just felt like the time has come -eventually- to close this beautiful chapter.
More than one factor led us to take this decision: the progressive concern about the planet (therefore the impossibility to keep producing plastic bags and gadgets), the desire to leave at our peak and to invent something new are just two of them. The constant process behind the renewal of our sound -which we embraced ten years ago with the birth of Apparel Music- sometimes passes through hard choices and we need to feel again that sensation of ‘void’ in order to create something fresh, different, as we did when we started Apparel Wax. We won’t drag our masked hero to a point of sonic stagnation.
We’d like to send you all a big greeting and a heartfelt thanks for every second of your time spent listening to Apparel Wax, it literally meant the world to us. What was initially just a bold idea became a musical reference point for many people around the world, and we will be forever grateful to y’all because, without you, it would have never been possible.
Finally, a huge thanks to all the artists involved in the project. They contributed with their art to a bigger cause, the biggest: music. YOU are the true masked heroes, you are Apparel Wax.
As for us, we’ll live on and our sound too. Our ideas, our passion and dedication for the one and only thing that really makes us happy will never die. Something new will always come on our end because that’s our purpose, our philosophy. Manman, what a journey has been, now on to the next one!

Now let’s talk about the record.

The journey starts with 010A1, a hypnotic, rhythmic Lo-Fi club bomb with a pressing bassline and a hint of Funk (which never hurts); it keeps going with 010A2, an unclassifiable percussive journey exploding in a calm furor of congas and mellow melodic notes. 010B1 is a straight out of the Amazon jungle banger filled with tribal sounds, spacey pads and Brazilian sonic details like cuicas and tamboras; a compelling rhythmic dagger. The record spins to its end with 010B2, a track with various sonic moods: the foggy harmonies and melodies driving towards sinister atmospheres and the solid beat keeping it attached to the ground. The final ambiguous musical touch to this EP full of new things to listen to. Release date > 1st of September 2021.

This time you’ll find the Wax’s #plectrum with the vinyl; a little gadget to stimulate your musical fantasies (200 pz only).

PREMIERE: Apparel Wax - 010B2 [Apparel Wax]

This special one off collaboration sees Berlin prodigy Max Graef, coupling with globe trotter Fantastic Man aka Mic Newman. With Mic living in Max's broom cupboard for a few vodka soaked weeks in Berlin last autumn, there was a beautiful inevitability that some music would outcome. The lead track "Soothe Me" is no noodly shrinking violet, but a grade 10-cross-genre-dance-floor-destroyer which Andy snapped up for label on first listen. Clearly taking it's inspiration from the Rhodes and sample drenched Sound Signature Detroit label and adding in live instrumentation, tape effects, for a track rich in Steely Dan sensibility, coupled with a sub bass and twisted lead line dragging us into a new year. The B-Side Relaxin' At The Flip is a raw slab of analogue goodness, flying 606 high hats, a tough kick drum and simple elements driving the track forwards, best heard 8am in a dark corner of a club.

Another sweet selection of boogie and disco tracks that I'm particularly fond of... There are many "classics" in there but it never hurts to hear them again and again ;-) Thanks to Volcov, Hunee and Sadar Bahar for making me discover some of these gems.

SJ Tequilla - Sweet Salt (STW Premiere)

All the great samplers of our time dug a bit of Brazilian. The most obvious suspects being beat-making legends, Madlib and the late great, Jay Dee; but other genre trailblazers - such as Drum & Bass’ beloved DJ Marky - also brought the music of Brazil to an audience that had perhaps not been exposed to it’s delights. Even fucking Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” was heavily influenced by Brazilian legend, Jorge Ben’s “Taj Mahal” - listen to it for fuck sake! (youtube.com/watch?v=Ex9jWJ5V014).

Another chap with an ear for a sample is the super gifted Adam Wickens aka Admin (@AdminUK). Also an aficionado for the nations sounds, the Bristolian has woven together a patchwork quilt of 100% Brazilian material, beaming with colour and zinging with spice - almost suspiciously in time for the summer sun. Easing you in with near lulabilic textures, Admin leads you on a sweltering sonic ramble through the winding nooks of Rio, stopping off for some Feijoada in the favelas and winding up on the Copacabana - Caipirinha in one hand, broken Havana’s in the other. Borderline offensive stereotyping aside, Adam’s mixtape is really one to be proud of and an essential accompaniment to any sun filled plans you may have. Enjoy.

Paris and Lyon-based @InAnyCaseRecords are back again with their brand of dusty, sample house. For their third release they are welcoming back co-founders G2S and Cutouane (also known as Malouane), they also welcome back Manuel Nie and invite newcomers Kaffe Crème and 4004 to the label. The first three releases were prepared well in advance and so the sound has been extremely consistent across the board thus far. Give credit to the label heads (Clément, Théo & Johanna) for having a vision and following through with it. The imprint's sound itself spans from edits to downtempo beats to the aforementioned dusty house sound. Although the sound itself isn't a revelation by any stretch, the effectiveness with which the outlet carries it out is to be admired.

Today's Bolting Bits premiere comes courtesy of the B1 by Mexican producer @4004_Reasons. A staple on Quintessentials and FACES Records, 4004 has a very distinct sound. His jazzy, organic, sampled house is easily recognizable and he's gone back to what he does best for Dice Bar. A swung groove with natural sounding drums? Check. Mellow Rhodes chords and jazzy keys? Check. Deep and subby bassline? Check. All of the right elements are present as usual, just using different samples and the glissando string is one that really stands out in this particular production. Like the label itself, 4004 isn't reinventing the wheel, but he is making a damn good one.

PREMIERE : 4004 - Dice Bar

Tracklist: http://worldwidefm.net/show/saint-james-brit-funk-special/
Originally recorded on Worldwide FM in december 2017.

Parisian DJ, producer and record collector Maxence Robinet AKA Saint-James has been busy over the past few years; being the co-founder and label manager of Discomatin and the founder of CHUWANAGA where he released a seminal Brit Funk compilation, the co-founder of Easter Sounds Festival, member, contributor and resident DJ of Phonographe Corp and finally hosting the Syncope radio show on Le Mellotron - all by the age of 25.

His musical influences are just as broad - everything from funk and disco, through NY, Chicago and Detroit house, past nineties techno, drum and bass and on to broken beat.
