Bubbling Through-  NIL- Sweet harvest of the autumn

Apron Records has been instrumental in shaping the current landscape of contemporary electronic music coming out of the U.K. since 2014. After almost a decade of pushing their unique vision has made the Apron Records imprint one of the most in-demand labels in most independent record stores. Now more than 45 releases deep in their journey, Apron Records have teamed up with Patta Soundsystem to work on their first various artists release and to celebrate this monumental milestone, both camps have collaborated to create a clothing capsule to accompany this release. After working with the artist formerly known as Funkineven on ‘The Wave’ late last year, it was only right to showcase the diverse talents behind this movement.

Sharing a drawing board with Patta for the first time with Apron Records, together they have created a Trucker Cap and a Graphic T-Shirt that echo the racing theme of the whole project. Better Together is the slogan that runs throughout the entire collaboration, stressing how unity makes us stronger as individuals. Artwork for the record has been provided by Amsterdam based artist Jim Klok. His unique Acetone printing technique has now been immortalised on this LP, juxtaposing vintage cars with checkered racing flags to create a dynamic cover that would be right at home in a picture frame as well as a record bin.

System Olympia’s ‘Passi Mai’ is a beautiful 80’s inspired driving riddim layered with her own vocals that wouldn’t be out of place in an arcade or a sticky nightclub floor. Followed up by ‘Leven’ by Brassfoot, we get a wobbler from the NTS regular. Layed with Jamaican vocal samples and audacious arpeggiated bleeps, Leven is a soulful approach to techno tropes that have been bouncing around Brassfoot’s head. Shamos’ 737363 is a cryptic masterpiece. With dreamy pads as a backdrop for shuffling drum beats, euphoric sweeps and dynamically designed synthesis, this closes off the themes explored in the first half of the record.

Side B kicks off with J M S Khosah’s contribution to the record titled ‘Lessons’ which is a dancefloor filler, adorned with glamorous percussion, vocal samples and syncopated stabs ontop of a driving 4x4 kick pattern. Kicking things into 6th gear is a club-ready production from London's most soulful selector Shy One. Groovy basslines and a 2-step riddim make ‘Candy Floss’ an ode to the grimey and the glittery sides of London nightlife. This project champions one of the people that have been pivotal in the success of the label, Steven Julien whose track E46 is an emotional journey through his synth-laden East London studio. Bookending the project are two compositions from Compton’s-own AshTreJinkins. Showcasing his abilities to approach the project from both an ambient and a pure beat-making perspective in order to hold the whole project together.

AshTreJinkins - Dashing Buttface

I'm unravelling, going kind of loopy. I'm not as was. Contours are there but they're sucked of substance. It hurts. And it gnaws oh yes it gnaws. I'm glazed and blockaded, leaden and sunk. My eyes are dead and they flicker like burnt gasping synapses. I have a rash in "the dick and ass area". The glass is half empty and also it's literally made of and also contains shit. I'm relating to this music description, because I'm who you are; namely: you. And yet. Knowing that I'm you, I know more than anything that there IS hope. And I know even more than more than anything that hope is Barrett Avner (@s_candle) of Contain (@containcontaincontain) Madjestic Kasual 'A Mix' mix. I (you) press play. We can't suppress a smile. There is more :)

After inaugurating the label with a tape in 2015, our local friend Richard Brown (AKA Brown Irvin AKA AshTreJinkins) returns to Motion Ward with an oblique two-track 12" entitled "Run Me That Soul". "Locution" flexes a wobbly equilibrium of dubbed dancefloor energy and amorphous acid while "Overcast" coats the B Side in a smeared gradient of ambient wash and shape-shifting stasis. A persuasive pair of parallel worlds for winding up and winding down.

MW006: Brown Irvin, 'Run Me That Soul'

this is a live set not a dj set :)

1pm - 1:40pm in the super naturalest amphitheatre on planet earth

Music dips at 20:06 min. The bass here sounds noisey. That is the sound of the stage vibrating under the low freak-quency.
