North East based, South East raised Lovellious (@user-472395296) has put together a tasteful, fun & eclectic mix for our first Apecast of the new year, and we couldn't be happier.

Lovellious has touched down on the prestigious EC2A label, as well as notable singles on Demolition Squad & Belters. He's known for his soulful & playful use of breakbeats, often times transcending through Garage to Jungle in his sets and radio shows on Slacks.

We hope you enjoy his APECAST as much as we do, setting the right upbeat start to the year.

Exclusive mix by @dialogg
Turkish producer and DJ based in London, Alex Lawrence, aka Aleksandir, appeared on the radar in 2018 with 'Yamaha', a harmonious blend of traditional percussion and modern house. His mastery of melody, acquired at the conservatory, quickly propelled him onto the international scene, with notable performances such as at the Dour Festival last year and more broadly in various clubs around the world. He signs our 234th mix.

Makrele - Es Tut Dir Doch So Leid

Opening with grace and gleaming material, « Illusion Day » is an ode to glittering future. The subtle tinkling synth loop, grainy guitar-like riff set the scene, a landscape of on old Eastwood’s western giving a first glimpse at Alpine DJ’s vintage aesthetics.
« Illusion Day » is a warm and friendly welcome into the whole EP, with this sweet dim-light infused vocal drawn from the post-disco hit of British trio Imagination, suavity of a refined echo and an end-of-day promise upon the ochre desert.  
Rooted in old school house and trivial synths, the first build-up heralds the groundwork of the whole EP : a singular mix of catchy sonorities, a skillful blend of instruments showing the producer’s ability to craft both fresh, contemporary and nineties inspired tracks.

He cute, he fine… but he ain’t mine.
From swipes to spinbacks – this is the soundtrack for every gay boy dodging ghosts and dancing with crowns on. Heavy 808s, ballroom claps, runway energy, and unapologetic queer truth.

🎶 Loud. Proud. Crown stays on.
