The Best

Apparel Music pushes forward this November with a four track single from label-founder Kisk. The Italian producer teams up with some associates of the imprint on a couple of the featured cuts, while Anton Kubikov reworks the title track to shape up the ‘Friends’ EP.

Giuseppe D’Alessandro aka Kisk founded Apparel Music in 2009, a label that’s tipped its focus towards jazz infused electronic explorations, while introducing sprinkles of London’s Jungle sound, Trip-Hop, Detroit Techno and authentic Deep House. Dropping material from heavyweight house heads like Delano Smith and John Tejada, while bringing to light the talent of newcomers like Jacky 0, Sarp Yilmaz and Accatone who collaborates with Kisk on this release. Kisk can also boast performances at some of the industry’s leading nightclubs, namely Fabric, Tresor and Amnesia, standing as further testament to his flair and expertise in this field. 
Title track ‘Friends’ opens the single, seeing Kisk delve deep with a dusty Jazz-tinged deep house workout. Gritty drum samples, a double bass hook and a blend of cosseting Rhodes and murmuring vocal lines lay the foundations, while emotive string melodies add a further beauty to things creating a classy, understated piece to kick things off. Kisk then teams up with Undeep aka Gennaro Mastrantonio for ‘4Friends’ following in the same ilk the duo drive the record with sweeping pads, bumpy raw rhythms and bubbling background atmospherics to again create a slow-blooming elegant record. 
On the latter half of the release Kisk pairs up with Portugese producer Accatone, this time taking the feel in a more upfront and direct direction as weighty sub tones fuel the tracks energy and ethereal pads, subtly processed piano hits and spoken word vocal lines drive the musicality. Then finally to close the EP Moscow based producer, notably known for his work with the likes of Kompakt and Trapez turns in a stunning melodic interpretation of ‘Friends’, skillfully composing dazzling piano hooks alongside heavenly pads, berloque percussion and a hefty amount of sub.

Kisk’s ‘Friends’ EP is out in Apparel Music 25th November on wax and 30th December digitally.

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.

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!
