feel like James Zabiela would play this :)

Apes - Archive (2012 - 2016)

Brru..

Dust off a wine glass or three; today we raise a toast to one of the most dedicated house music institutions — Smallville Records. Ten years is a ruddy good time in this part of town, and establishing such a loveable brand takes some doing. Yet, with misty-eyed house at its core, the record store-cum-label has confidently strutted towards the big ten. To celebrate, the Hamburg fam are dispensing the third and fourth part of the Ways Series — entitled Smallville Ways — with a two four-track 12" and an 11-track CD. 

Naturally, the roll-call reels off like a FIFA dream team equivalent: STL, Christopher Rau, Moomin, L'Amour Fou (Move D with Benoit Bouquin (BB) and Marco Wollenberg), Smallpeople, Juniper, Jacques Bon, Lawrence, Rvds & Rau, and Tilman Tausendfreund.

Kornél Kovács' offering carves the deepest incision though. Remodelling a D'Angelo Rhodes piano sample into a diet version of itself, "Space Jam" is as airy and uncluttered as we've come to expect. Here's to another decade then, ayy.

Apes - Mosaic (STW Premiere)

As day becomes night the sky begins to change, the stars illuminate, white balls of burning flame. The sunlight dies, clouds blacken the expanse which sits above the world, nothing shines but the twinkling light of those little pearls. The equinox is near, the celestial calendar aligns and day and night correspond in equal time. The reach is far and wide, earth floats, a hazy planet at the mercy of the tide: the sun casts it's final beam, slips beneath the line and dies.

📼 Inside of Rhythms EP out now on Diffuse Reality

📻 'All Hopes Sank' on Slack's

✉️ Reach out: domapesmusic@gmail.com

South Shields lad Dom cut his teeth in the music game as ‘Apes’ over a decade ago in London, co-founding Church with his then neighbour, Seb Wildblood.  

After a lengthy hiatus since 2016’s Mosaic EP dropped on Church, Dom bounced back with an eclectic 6-tracker entitled ‘Inside of Rhythms’ on the prolific Barcelona-based, Diffuse Reality in December 2022.

An avid digger and host of the monthly show All Hopes Sank on Slack’s Radio, his sets spin through a mix of: melancholic electro, atmospheric breaks, twisty braindance, nostalgic trance, and thumping techno.
