LOVE APE was formed in 2019 as a new alias for Moiety. A Dutch DJ/producer based in Amsterdam (NL) who has had string of releases on INI Movement and one EP on Rugged Society Records as “Mens Aperta”.
During his travels and walks in nature he was inspired by the calming effect nature can have on the human mind. He felt music can have this same effect and this translated into a new music production style that was more leaned towards the listener than the club.
The sound can be described as warm, organic and full of ambience.
A mixture of house, dub techno, balearic, broken beats, trip hop and ambient.
The debut album “ZEN” will be released on the 10th of May of 2021 on Rugged Society Records.
Although the tracks may be in very different styles, they were all made in a deeply focussed and almost meditative state. This inspired the name “ZEN” which is a practice in meditation which creates the same state of mind.
The album consists of 10 tracks that were all created in different times, but naturally came together when APE created its debut album in 2020. Right in the middle of the Covid pandemic.

Premiere : Love Ape - Come With Me [Rugged Society]

Parisian artist La Mverte (@la-mverte) inaugurates his new label Les Enfers with an EP of typically leftfield electro and new beat fusions. His three originals come with big remixes from Javi Redondo and Anatolian Weapons (@anatolianweapons).

La Mverte aka Alexander Berly has carved out a unique sonic niche since 2014. He attended the RBMA in Tokyo, has released on labels like Her Majesty's Ship, and explores everything from Italo to New Wave, industrial to dark disco, krautrock to synth-heavy acid. His singular sounds have taken him to gigs at the world's best clubs and festivals and now, after a reflective time during the pandemic, he is back with a new label.

Excellent EP opener 'Nigredo' features Jean-Christophe Couderc from Vox Low providing sleazy vocals. It suggests a love of Detroit electro but reimagined through La Mverte's influences and machines, with angular drums and prickly synths lighting up the dance floor. With 'Albedo,' La Mverte offers an intense synth-wave sound with dark and ghoulish vocals, raw drums and stark hits that demand you jerk your body. The final original 'Rubedo' nods to Belgium's New Beat movement. It has physical drums, soot-black synth work and edgy late-night energy that will blow minds in any warehouse space.
First remixer Javi Redondo is a regular on the Correspondant and Dischi Autunno labels. He offers a club-focused and motorik re-reading of 'Nigredo' designed to make you sweat. Greek EBM, rock and electronic fusionist Aggelos Baltas aka Anatolian Weapons also offers a brilliant version of 'Albedo.' It is tinged with slowed-down trance of the sort that Vladimir Ivkovic might drop in the dead of night at Salon des Amateurs.

With Alchemy Calls, La Mverte continues to push himself and his sounds forwards into fresh new territory.

'Early Years DNA' is an EP driven by various samples from the past. DNA's were crossed. Sounds were fused. All is glued to become a new power with an old and wise soul. Breaks, vocals, synths - let them remind you of the glory days of the rising underground. These tracks are your musical gene blueprints to take you into a new, evolved future.
