Apricot Ballroom co-founder Nonna Fab brings us the second release on our label, with the all original 4-tracker ‘Close Encounters’. The fruits of almost a year’s work from start to finish, it features a range of sounds taking in early house influences alongside our usual brand of psychedelic disco/boogie, as well as a very special collaboration with TC and the Groovy Family front-woman Pariss Elektra on the B-side.

A2 - Close Encounters

As we're getting closer to the end of 2022, we wanted to give you some more sparks of what has been a great year full of good music all the way through. For the occasion, we have Montreal-based Paolo Rocco serving some real house flavours. Fresh from the release of "To The Stars And Beyond" EP on Chris Stussy's "Up The Stuss" label, the Canadian artist also released his "Life In Pieces" LP on FUSE back in 2021. But if we want to scroll back his catalogue, we'll find big releases on Berg Audio, Rutilance, and One Records, not to mention his anthems on Saved and Hot Creations from the early '10, making Paolo one of the most respected producers around. On his MEOKO mix debut, the RAWMOMENTS owner brings some serious beats to the table, melting deep house vibes with more groovy and crunchy retro-electro beats. Enjoy!

RA Live - 2014.05.31 - Jimmy Edgar b2b Bambounou, Nuits Sonores

Artist: @thongvor

We are pleased to present a new musical story. It's about a journey through the carefree memories of the author - electronic musician Thongvor.

This is Thongvor's first release, born out of his exploration of the world of electronic music, his familiarity with synthesizers, and his desire to convey images of lightness and warm feelings through music. The album's compositions are built around samples framed by the sound of keys. The sounds of drum machines are responsible for the groove, and Afro-Cuban percussion is for the dance rhythms.

Consistent, laconic and at the same time danceable, it instantly transports us to a parallel storyline where we are captivated by the sound of the ocean, the noise of the crowd and the singing of birds.

All tracks written and produced by Thongvor.
Mastered by Bogdan Zaiets in Kyiv.

“Supa Star 2K24” dives a bit deeper and darker with its vibe and reaches across the decades blending a famous mid 1990s R&B vocal hook with a precise late night house workout that could have come right out of 1988.

Ode to shadowrun Pt.1

This track is part of the “ILIWAN EP — De Luxe Edition”, a deep desert house project inspired by Tuareg Berber culture and the mystic breath of the Sahara.
Written entirely in Tamasheq (Tuareg language) using phonetic romanization for vocal clarity, it blends tribal percussion, desert flutes, imzad violin, dark hypnotic synths, and African child choir elements.

The atmosphere is spiritual, cinematic, and hypnotic — designed for deep listening, late-night sets, and immersive playlists.
