Babe Terror - A Capital Federal - Appleblim & Arkist Rmx (Phantasy Sound)

Premiere: Appleblim & Komon 'Jupiter'

Throughout his involvement in the heavily revered Skull Disco imprint and the birth of his own Apple Pips label, Laurie ‘Appleblim’ Osborne always seemed to represent his own thing to the fullest. It’s what’s always made him stand out as a character, as a producer and as a DJ – the fact that he simply does things that please him. So when he offered to make us a mixtape ahead of his appearance at the Roska Presents hosted Room One this Friday night, it’s safe to say we were pretty expectant. But what he did was use it as an opportunity to blend together a selection of records he purchased on a recent trip Stateside where he visited The Thing record store in Greenpoint Brooklyn. 

We caught up with him to discuss the trip, his passion for crate digging in general and his forthcoming projects --> http://www.fabriclondon.com/blog/view/appleblim-talks-crate-diggin-his-2-bin-mixtape

Appleblim - NY Crate Digging Mix

Following up the chunky slab of festival fuel was Huxley’s ‘The Machine’ EP, the next installment sees the return of long-term label affiliates Komon & Appleblim for their second collaborative release on Aus - ‘Motion Blur’.

Keiran Lomax and Laurence Osbourne have managed to keep their distinctly smoky stamp branded on remixes for the likes of Bonobo and Paul Woolford and on their original productions for both Aus and Appleblim’s ‘Apple Pips’ imprint. In Motion Blur, the pair expand on their canon and turn in four introspective explorations rich with granular textures and propulsive low-end grooves.  

The title track blooms behind sandy hats and glistening pads as it builds towards a loose-limbed swing built with broken beat structures. Bolstered by rock-heavy subs, ‘Key Vision’ drives more stuttering kick patterns under spectral sweeps and vocal chops while ‘Echoes Retreat’ rubs resonant bass tones up against sharp, floor-ready synth stabs.

Set to a steady 4/4 march, ‘Astir’ brings things to a deep and downcast close as sweeping minor tones bring colour to the snapping percussive whacks that round-off another Aus accomplishment that’s as effective on the floor as it is through the cans.”

Second Storey & Appleblim present ALSO - Formation

ALSO (Appleblim and Second Storey) present their stunning debut LP for R&S comprised of their critically acclaimed trilogy of EPs.

Opener ‘Arpemonger’ (an exclusive track to the release that sees the duo stretching their classic IDM influences) leading into the uptempo cyborg funk of ‘Blyford Bass’, heavyweight bass of ’ Dive Prophets’ and bleeping synth squiggles ‘Formation’  this is an album that really benefits from good headphones and repeated listens to truly get lost in their musical intricacies.

Ever since they first met and bonded over a shared love of machine rhythms and sleek electronic grooves, the pair have been hard at work on pushing their creative boundaries to the limit, never content to take the easy route - as Laurie explains "if that means broken rhythms, and untraditional melodies then so be it. There's so many people making sonically 'correct' or refined 4x4 music, we just wanted to explore everything other than that, whilst still keeping the dance floor moving."

These heavy studio / live loose jams sessions have borne truly verdant musical fruit inspired as much by classic R&S alumni from Aphex Twin to Blawan and the Detroit axis of Carl Craig and Juan Atkins.

ALSO is pan genre, pan generational, emotive electronic music at its bes.  Truly something special and a fine addition to R&S rich heritage of forward thinking dancefloor sonic artistry.

In a sea of thousands of dance music labels, Gottwood Festival have proven their worth with their Gottwax imprint. Their compilations EP1 and EP2 have boasted seminal summertime numbers from Ruf Dug, Cottam, Rob Amboule and more. Now, Gottwax's forthcoming EP3 consists of four new tracks cut on bright orange acetate by Ponty Mython, Krywald & Farrer and Bonar Bradberry – and a welcome return for Appleblim. Relishing in our fortune to have a first listen, it is the four-four iridescence of Appleblim's "Phosphene" that stands out most. An epic homecoming for the Bristolian producer who has otherwise kept relatively quiet as of late, setting sail suitably on the third Gottwax ship.

EP3 drops via Gottwax on 16th April.

Dubkazm ft. Levi Roots - Respek I Spek - Gatekeeper & Appleblim Remix - Sufferah's Choice

The first track I mixed down on my own in a long time, I'm still not 100% about it, but it seems to go down OK on the floors : ) This was made for Ryan O'Gorman of Vitalik and Burlington Project and the We Love Sundays at Space crew in Ibiza, who kinfly booked me to play at the mega club Space in Ibiza, and have supported me and given me some very cherished moments and memories indeed - not least seeing Jeff Mills abuse his 909 in the main room last year! OOOSSHT!

Appleblim - Moonlight - Vitalik 2011

early works! basically me trying to be Skream, Benga, and Plasticman (pre Plastician!) when they were still rollin on Fruity Loops..out to my TS404 crew! lucky mixdown bizzniss, and the arrangement is all over the gaff but it has a certain charm I guess!

Appleblim - Girder - Skull Disco - 2005

the result of challenge by Gatekeeper to see who could make a mentasm tune quickest and best! haaa, not sure who won! Had a wicked little version with a VIP vocal from Riko Dan of Roll Deep (one of my fave ever MCs) on it which unfortunately because of my weird arrangement he came in on a beat late for the whole tune : ( so near and yet so far! woulda sounded sick too!

Appleblim - Fear - Skull Disco - 2006

PIPS017
Gatekeeper
'Atmosphere Processor/Let Us In'
Distribution: S.T.Holdings
Release Date: 30/4/12

Cheeky little taster of Gatekeeper's forthcoming release on Apple Pips, due on  a stunning combo of dusty vintage synth pads, chopped breaks, and deadly deep subs - proper Theo Parrish meets Steve Gurley down Metalheadz vibes on this one! (in my head anyway!)

Gatekeeper - Atmosphere Processor - PIPS017 clip

     With this record Appleblim kickstarts a new chapter in his musical evolution, setting a promising precedent for both club-baiting dynamism and experimental adventure while busting the possibilities for the future wide open.

     “Fluorescent” represents the ‘Blim at his most jovial, tapping into the pure pleasure hit of sun-kissed house music whilst bolstering the more immediate elements of the track with subtle flecks of sound design and a deft application of punch and swing. While the main hook may take its time to reveal itself through the swathes of dubby texture, once it hits it feels like an overwhelming swell of good vibes. Even as the chirpy first refrain melts away into an ambient breakdown before getting switched up for an edgier tone, the fist-shaking vibrancy of the track refuses to let go.
