The recently released Andy Cato album on Apollo Records was a time capsule of 20 years of rave culture.  It was a personal record of someone’s trip through the mortal maze of dance music. “I did it for me,” asserts Cato. “I was worried that anyone else might not have the same feelings when they heard the tracks, but I played it to some people and they seemed to get caught up in the journey as well.” It’s all in there somewhere. The squat raves. The Pepsi-sponsored stages. The DJ gigs in front of 100,000 people. Arriving at an LA gig in a Sopwith Camel. It’s a history of the past 20 years through the lens of one person.

Now this personal music has been re-imagined by two legends of electronic music who have  both previously released classic music on R&S and Apollo.
FSOL first appeared on R&S with their debut album ‘Accelerator’, their remix of ‘The Coastal Path’ as The Amorphous Androgynous comes as a three part opus of psychedelic rock, ambient and a funky wig out ending mixing live drums, hammond, guitars and flutes.
Biosphere aka Geir Jenssen released some of his most well known music on Apollo including the ‘Patashnik’ album.  It’s an honour to welcome him back to the label with his beautiful, spacious reworking of ‘Sunrise Sant Agnes’.

Ely Camargo - Taieiras

Taieiras features on Ely’s 1972 album ‘Cantos Da Minha Gente’ on RCA. She recorded 12 albums between 1960 and 1983. We know very little about her and there is little information available.

Taieiras has never been released on a 7”.

Trio Esperanca - Nao Aguento Voce

A vocal trio from Rio, formed by siblings Mário, Regina and Evinha Correia José Maria, whose three older brothers we’re the Golden Boys.

The original line up recorded seven albums for Odeon Brazil between 1963 and 1975 Não Aguento Você is taken from their self-titled 1971 album.

You may be surprised to know that Trio Esperanca still tour and release today; Regina, Evhinha and younger sister Mariza are playing dates in France and Japan in 2015. You can find out more on their website.

"Bara Bröst" (literally "just breasts") is the name of a cultural movement of Swedish feminists, pleading for women to be allowed topless in public. Up-and-coming Berlin based producer duo Benjamin Quint (Qunique) and Markus Schwarzbauer (Opescure) love the movement so much that they chose to endorse it by adapting the name for their production team.
The two have been friends since school and have shared an apartment in the Neukölln district in Berlin for over two years now. They converted their living room into a studio and office space. "That way, we can meet up any time we are inspired by the Muses with no effort."

Hot Chip - One Pure Thought (Dominik Eulberg Remix)

another mix,
In answer to the questions I keep getting asked.
 ccai pt2 , part 1 is Drukqs, as that was the first thing I released that utilised computer controlled instruments, namely a modified Yamaha disklavier, 2nd gen and a couple of midi controlled solenoid based drum mechanisms I made just after I got the Disklavier.

I kept seeing them [disklaviers] in hotels, usually used to pipe muzak around the place and thought why doesn't anyone actually use one of these to compose music on and make beats etc! 
A couple of times when i saw them in hotel lobbies, i sneaked up to the disklavier and set it to play ultra low pitch and very slow, funny watching peoples reactions, it was down every corridor etc
NOBODY i spoke to back in around 1999 inc. people at yamaha knew how to connect one of these to a computer and I had to take my computer into Yamaha to try it out to see how fast these things could go, no info on the net then either.
The first year I burned out countless solenoids in the thing and learnt how to repair them myself, the more recent gen ones like I used at the barbican have temperature cut outs on them thankfully, i’ve still fried a few though!
