Nuits Sonores 2014 - Day 1

poser

As Apollonia surpasses it’s 10th release and you take a breath to look back on the first two years of the label’s meteoric life, there’s no denying the unstoppable Parisian-born imprint is going from strength to strength. Having just repressed ‘Need Ur Love’, the Callisto classic that is an influential memory from Apollonia’s roots, Dan Ghenacia brings us up to the present day with the forthcoming EP.

Having spent the summer season in the musical hub of Ibiza, Ghenacia’s heightened creativity lead him to turn his hand once again to production. Finishing the track just in time for Dyed Soundorom’s birthday, his beats brother took the liberty of testing out the track during his annual celebratory marathon set. ‘Ometeo’ featured no less than four times throughout the Ibizian all day/all night proceedings and immediately became a firm favourite of Soundorom. So much so that he insisted on its release on Apollonia, and added a personal remix of his own.

Now spending more and more time in Berlin, home to two-thirds of the trio and to work together on an LP, there’s a definite shift in the sound nodding to something a little darker, a little weirder. ‘Ometeo’ asserts itself with a strong paced clap, accompanied by low pitched electronic rippling and intergalactic robotic voices. Slowly and subtly building up, it moves through human chatterings, insect callings and more, until at its most dynamic moment enter the hip-shaking maracas!

Remix master Soundorom gives the late night joint a total overhaul to produce a peak time dancefloor bomb. Introducing a driving kick to pick up the energy, the warm, deep synths remind us of the typical Apollonia sound, as do the sexy, primarily female vocals which reoccur throughout the piece. Together a two track package that will without a doubt propel the French trio even further into the stratosphere.

Mysterious producer Bootshonk will be more commonly known to techno and house fans by another name in similar vein (we cant say who exactly). The official birth of Bootshonk was the answer to the calls of the DC10 dance floor after Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky aka Apollonia, kept the first white label release a staple in their sets throughout the summer of 2013. Onto the next release and the mood gets deeper as we delve into the dancefloor stomping, B side Stamper Square. Press play and turn up the levels on this groovy i-D exclusive.

OUT 3rd December

Living life as an international DJ, this is the first instalment of Dan Ghenacia’s ‘trax on da road’ productions. His debut solo EP on Apollonia, Ghenacia demonstrates his aptitude for big beats to soulful vocals with a 3-track package that above all will have you dancing.

Manhattan 85 is a funk driven affair of disco-led house. Dabbling in a melange of sounds from classical strings to techno bleeps and vocal samples, the build-up to some complex layering is arranged seamlessly into feel-good, tuneful house that will lift any room. Over on the B-side is weighty, no-nonsense Acid walk, full of bounce and infectious rhythm. A singular chord of eerie vocal provides the depth, resonating behind an escalating acidic wail – without a doubt a sure-fire, dance floor bomb. Da Doo Da completes the solid offering with a hearty bassline and hypnotic drum rhythms, a strong house-techno contender very much in tune with Ghenacia’s own peak-time track choices.

Dan Ghenacia returns alongside his closest allies Dyed Soundorom and Shonky to launch their new imprint - Apollonia    
 
Sharing the same musical roots, tastes and creative vision, Apollonia was a natural, if not inevitable progression for Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky. The label will serve as a platform for the trio's productions, representing new beginnings based on a solid family that have already done much to shape the underground house scene, in Paris and beyond. "We'll mainly focus on releasing our own music, but of course we are also really open-minded to sign any producers we all enjoy," says Dyed..
