The Best

This track is an hommage to my favorite and in my opinion the best beatmaker the Netherlands has to offer.. The big homie MOODS! 

The moment i first heard a moods beat i had the feeling i had 2 options.. or stop making beats or step my game up by 10. 
And with every new track i hear of this dude i get that same feeling again.

Your a big inspiration bro..
Love! 

(And a special shout out to Sammy Spencer for the guitar parts!)

In The Mood (hommage to moods)

Moony Me go back in Apparel Music after the success in 2013 with "Say It Again", even supported by Hugo Boss' blog & radio. 
Across "Change of Season" EP, there are loose-hipped cool tracks, funky jazz cut, false and calibrate noodlings and humid piano house stormers. 
The https://soundcloud.com/moony-me track with https://soundcloud.com/woodcut_official duo "Zeitgeist" for instance, makes a short, hypnotic few-chord piano pattern its base, like a midway point between modern jazz piano and the mnemonic riffs at the heart of house music. The remixes: https://soundcloud.com/sarpyilmaz’ reworks "New Era" with a special saxophone' phrasing and his unique jazzy touch, so the https://soundcloud.com/nachtbraker’ bomb: the new talent reconstructs "Zeitgeist" for the most demanding DJs.

Moony Me & Woodcut - Zeitgeist (Nachtbraker Remix)

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.

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.

Didn't Cha Know (Rodalquilar LP)

Move It Like (Elevate EP - Out Now)

It's spring time, so about time for another seasons compilation in the form of "Spring In Jakarta". We got to know Olivier as the guitar player in Oddisee’s live band. Last year he dropped his first EP with Jakarta, „Ain’t cool“ was on this release. Some weeks ago Olivier and Oddisee were hanging out together in Berlin and produced this remix. Oddisee flipped it with some of his signature production and added 16 bars too, giving the original composition a completely new feel. 

As always "Spring In Jakarta" will be a free DLL with free cassette tape copies available from selected retailer. Also be on the lookout for the limited t-shirt + tape combo we did together with the homies from inflammable.com

Knlo (aka Kenlo, aka Kenlo Craqnuques) remains one of Montreal’s best kept secrets. Ask anyone in the beats / hip-hop scene and they will all swear that he is one of the most talented, influential and unique artists we have.  And as for the worldwide perspective, he deserves to be mentioned as one of the best in world in the Producer + MC category.

It isn’t only his talent that floors me, it’s that he’s always been truly free as an artist. The man never plays it safe and keeps his music moving forward even if sometimes some of his ideas might be a bit “out there.” We could use a little bit of mentally challenging, progressive hip-hop anyway!

After countless years of getting KNLO’s records on CD-R’s, Myspace, Blogspot, Rapidshare links it will feel fantastic to finally hold his official debut album in my hands. The 7ieme ciel label deserve a lot of props for having the vision of putting this out.

I’ve had “Long Jeu” for a while now so I can guarantee that you are in for a treat!

Here is a little discussion I had with him along with a few album teasers including a fantastic mini-documentary exploring a day in the life of KNLO.

Who Are You (ft. Astrønne)

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!
