Sleepers Awake is a Columbus, Ohio based progressive metal group that creates brutally fantastic epics.

A gargantuan 70-minute triumph for ingenuity and artful intensity, Transcension adds great depth and intrigue to the sound Sleepers Awake established on their debut. Although there are still superficial debts owed to the pioneering likes of Tool and Opeth, not to mention revered prog greats like Pink Floyd and Rush, the songs that combine to form this imperious musical journey boast an idiosyncratic and absorbing personality that is both unique and mesmerising. Elements of classic rock, sludge metal and even left-field art rock and ambience collide again and again, resulting in a devastating but irresistible hybrid that fans of thought-provoking and soulful heavy music will find impossible to ignore.

A mind-bending and magnificent concept piece that tells the tale of 'The Augur' and his struggle with higher forces that veers off through magical worlds full of fantastic creatures and surreal imagery while exploring the dizzying depths of existential contemplation, the new Sleepers Awake album is a work of laudable substance, intelligence and creative bravery. Add to that the fact that this band kick a serious amount of unholy metal ass along the way, and it seems beyond doubt that these young Americans will soon be winning over a huge international fan base, as vacuous pop culture drives a generation of diehard music lovers to embrace more challenging and perverse aural thrills. Time to rub your eyes, unblock your ears and surrender to the sound of enlightenment, catharsis and joy rendered in three sonic dimensions...

“Wide Awake” was the reason why Apple Orchard came into existence. Manila’s Definition Records included the track in the now much sought-after Filipino compilation, Mutual Admiration Society back in 2000. Fulfilled and pleased with the result, brothers Ryan and Dale Marquez then constantly conspired writing the starriest of starry-eyed pop tunes. 

Ryan and Dale have played together in Dorian Of Juniper Bells (which incidentally, was also included in the Mutual Admiration Society comp), aside from their other bands: Ryan with Sodajerk and Carnival Park and Dale for Sonnet LVIII and also, Soft Pillow Kisses. Apple Orchard on the other hand was a project which arose without fine warning, but with silent anticipation. The band’s name was taken from a song by Nottingham outfit Bouquet and the brothers considered The Sugargliders, The Field Mice, Brighter, Sweet William and Sarah Records as primary inspirations.

In the early years of the band after “Wide Awake”, plenty songs were written on a 4-track with mostly schoolboy lyrics and near-whispered melodies. Most of these tunes appeared in various compilations, such as Stamp Collecting (For Beginners) from the Secret Crush imprint and Dashboard Teddy from Dorothy Records, as well as cassette EPs like Last Wednesday from Popgun, Paris Was A Daydream and Across Haymarket And The Triangle, both issued by Best Kept Secret. Another three of these early recordings were released by Humblebee in February 2006 as a 7” single, entitled A Hiding Smile. The following year, Cloudberry Records handed out the 3” cd-r single That Happy Glow, the title track featured Raoul Dela Cruz of Popgun Recordings on trumpet. 

In 2008, Apple Orchard’s debut full-length Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies was released through the band’s own label, Haymarket Recordings. With a more polished and dreamier sound, the album received quite a few good reviews. Following the full-length months later was a limited 3” cd-r Turning Point from Germany’s Edition 59 imprint. August 2009 saw the release of another limited cd-r EP entitled Leafy Lanes, which the band issued through Haymarket and in May 2010, the band released a 7” single called “A Month Of Spring”, also on their own Haymarket label. The single, with its crushing pop noise has garnered comparisons with early Ride songs such as "Like A Daydream" and "Drive Blind". 

In 2012, Apple Orchard released a split 7" single with classic jangle pop group, The Proctors, issued by Dufflecoat Records and Luxury Records.

In 2019 the name JADE is one that has deep respect attached to it in Drum and Bass circles, with his EATBRAIN imprint standing as one of the most highly regarded neurofunk labels around. For the last 5 years, the label has gone from strength to strength, with Jade headlining some of Europe’s largest festivals, such as Boomtown, Dour, NASS, and Let It Roll, and clubs such as London’s infamous FABRIC. His concept and sonic aesthetic has rapidly taken over a vast portion of the European drum and bass scene, extending across the Americas in recent years, establishing a firm and growing fanbase for him in that area of the world.

His belief in the neurofunk genre saw him starting to put out releases under the Eatbrain name in 2011, forging their specific and highly energetic take on dnb at a time where musical trends were moving in other directions. Forward unto now, and his work has affected the sonic landscape drastically – with Eatbrain events occurring regularly across Europe in both packed clubs and vast festival stages. Jade now stands as the head of one of the strongest identities in dnb, armed with an unrequitable urge to continually evolve and push his sound and the sound of his label into evermore dystopian future territories.
 
Hungarian-born Simon Gabor started unleashing his aggressive and forward-thinking style upon the world with ‘GOT LOST’ leading to a string of releases on Citrus Recordings that culminated in his first ‘VENOM’ LP. The tracks within including ‘NO CURE’ and ‘VENOM’ had an ongoing defining effect on the neurofunk genre, and are regarded as timeless classics essential to the history of dnb. Following the establishment of Eatbrain, he further explored the possibilities of the sound with tracks like ‘AUDIO HYPNOSIS’ and ‘SMASH FACE’, but most significantly he started to gather a crew of like-minded producers to release on the label and start the real growth. To date, Eatbrain has featured an impressive roster of artists, including fellow collaborator Mindscape, State of Mind, Teddy Killerz, L 33 and Mefjus just to name a few.
 
Jade emerged once again in the field of incredibly effective production for the dancefloor with the release of ‘RESPIRATOR’ in collaboration with State of Mind and ‘THEY ARE MUTANTS’ featuring on the ‘MIRROR UNIVERSE’ LP project. Since then, Jade has dispatched a pair of absolutely searing manifestos on EATBRAIN with the release of the AWAKE and PROPAGANDA EPs in 2018. These crowned his status as not just the leading figure of one of the most respected dnb labels, but also a true force to be reckoned with in pioneering new forms of tech-driven dnb, as well as transferring those sensibilities to other tempos.

the future is a vast place for Jade and his ability to slay any dancefloor with the vision of Eatbrain. Demand continues to soar exponentially for Eatbrain with every stunning release, and a huge audience of fans waits tensely for what 2019 will bring.
