Giulia Tess w/ apprentis - 17-Sep-21

I am apprentis, producer/dj from Ireland but based in Amsterdam. 

I started out making EDM when I was 18 and quickly got signed to Laidback Luke’s publishing agency which helped me develop my sound. 

Afte a few years of making commercial music, I discovered the underground sounds of electronic music and have loved it ever since.

My music has been played on BBC radio 1, Rinse FM, NTS Radio, and I have released on various labels including King Street Sounds, Natura Viva and more.

A3K366 apprentis - 11 April 2022

WHERE DID YOU VISUALISE YOURSELF WHEN PUTTING THIS MIX TOGETHER?
I just moved to Ireland from Amsterdam and most of the songs in this mix I used to listen to with my friends or solo after some late studio or club nights.

FAVOURITE PARK FOR SOLO TIME?
Vondelpark. 

THE SONG/ALBUM THAT'S BEEN ON REPEAT FOR SUMMER 2022?
Johnny Ringo - Connection of Connection, shout out Ivan!

3 WORDS THAT BEST CAPTURE YOUR IDEAL SUNSHINEY DAY?
Friends, chilling, and joints.

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
I got a 16-track album coming out in late September which will have no house or techno music but electronic tracks which are heavily influenced by dancehall, reggae, and hip-hop.

[12:10, 09/09/2022] Me Personal: Presenting one of the sickest and most well respected names in dubstep, drum & bass, jungle and beyond; it’s @jkenzomusic 💥

We’re HONOURED to be able to share this one, especially as he’s gone all in with a multi-genre madness. Blending garage, broken beat, dubstep and even some slick 140 jungle. 

For us, J:Kenzo was absolutely pivotal in guiding our younger selves through the deeper, darker and more stripped back side of dubstep. His earlier stuff on Tempa Records around 2011 - 2014 was ridiculously influential and led us through the depths of underground music with a  bass powered torch that never really died out 🔦 

Every time we’ve seen him play live it’s been 10/10. The most recent being Outlook U.K. in that SWEATBOX of a tent. Shout out anyone in a…

Presenting @apprentismusic 💥 

Born in Ireland but now based in Amsterdam, Apprentis has been on the production wave for over 10 years and back then, he quickly got signed to @laidbackluke’s publishing agency which properly boosted his sound and confidence. 

With the inclusion on a huge platform like that, Apprentis has had the time and influence to make tunes suited to dark n dingy dingy basement dancefloors, up to bigger commercial bangers. He’s an artist we clocked really knows how to tweak his style based on the target audience, which is a talent in itself.

Since finding his feet, Apprentis has had his tracks featured on; @bbcradio1, @rinsestagram, @nts_radio and has had drops on @kingstreetsounds, Natura Viva and a bunch more. All absolutely worth checking out! 

His SOLITUDE mix is deliciously funky, moving through some tight electro flavours, a few classic acid-house inspired shakers and a heap of tracks we’d personally never heard before. That’s what it’s all about!

Swing to Apprentis’ socials and keep an eye on his output, the man has major talent 💜

Stranded FM w/ Apprentis (06/04/22)

Provided by: Apprentis [29.11.22]

This is the second appearance of our dear friend Apprentis. And as usual, we give him a pleasant welcome.

Since the last time we had the Apprentis visit on our platform, his work has been focused on the studio; He has made some releases and in the same way he has made several appearances on important radio shows. 

His latest songs have been played on top tier platforms like BBC Radio 1, NTS Radio Rinse.FM; the artist Ross From Friends recently  played an edit of his authorship, Digga D track “No Diet” For an Essential Mix.
(https://soundcloud.com/apprentisnl/apprentis-whip-it-original-mix?in=apprentisnl/sets/edits). Apprentis is still active with his monthly radio show on vandelay radio, don't forget to check his latest shows.

For his second appearance, Apprentis brings his characteristic sound that we love so much♥... he begins his podcast with the intro of Frank Ocean's song "Solo" which smoothly eases us into the mix that begins with a bit of house music.
He carefully brings the vibes up to the sounds of hip hop, dub and garage which make this mix a delight for the ears. Ending with powerful techno & Electro beats. A whole experience totally worthy.

Full Interview here: https://tinyurl.com/2kydfs9f

We continue our Mixtapes series with an exciting young artist that has a very bright future ahead of him.

Next up we welcome Apprentis, a mysterious Dutch DJ and producer with a knack for slinky, affecting electronic music that straggles the deeper end of house and elements of techno.


With a recent release out on Steve Bug's sub label Sublease Music called 'Concern', this three track release truly show-cases his range of skills and moods.


Concern, the title track, features a beautiful arpeggiated synth line that builds the vibe before a chugging, balearic groove sets in for the duration.

Noseblunt is more urgent - referencing a harder techno sound while merging with a swung groove and a nice vocal sample.

Last up is Kill People, a stripped down last night heater that hones in on a groove and keeps it locked for the dance floor.

With a string of many other releases to his name already, Apprentis has featured on BBC Radio1, DJmag, Circoloco, Rinse FM, NTS Radio, Red Light Radio,Operator Radio, Stranded FM and many more! We caught up with Apprentis this week to find out what makes him tick.
