Bottom Forty Mix 040: DJ Apt One

The Sound of Michael The Lion

Follow: soundcloud.com/djaptone, twitter.com/djatone, djaptone.com

Michael The Lion is the latest alter-ego of Philadelphia's DJ Apt One, the funky globe trotter with a long history of making cult-favorite dance-floor tunes. Michael The Lion chooses to call only the funkiest of bass and the lushest of textures to his service. With an arsenal of instruments, singers and synths and a cadre of dusty records, the vibe marches in his service.  His recent releases include a 12" on https://soundcloud.com/soulclaprecs (Funk Train f/ Amy Douglas), a remix for https://soundcloud.com/toddedwards3000 and Robert Lux on Young Robots,  and a four tracker for Razor-N-Tape which includes a monstrous floor stomper with long-time collaborator https://soundcloud.com/sammybananas.

Enjoy this hour long mix from Michael recorded live at the biggest little block party in Philly. There's plenty of disco delights, boogie beats, and soul jams to glide you right on through the day...

RNT is turning 10 releases old with this special and varied EP from Michael the Lion aka  @djaptone. Known recently for his work on Soul Clap records, Michael flexes his edit skills on this one, flipping some funk on the A-side with “Any Time,” and serving up classic italo cheek with “The Don.” The B-side erupts with the disco-house-bringer-downer “Get More” and finishes smooth with a fresh take on a well-worn sample with “909s and Herb,” a co-production with Sammy Bananas, of Fool’s Gold Record fame. This milestone record is a choice celebration of the quality that the RNT label has come to personify.

Hooked is the fantastic new party at Franky Bradley's featuring Michael The Lion (aka  @djaptone),@a-del-mix, and @ShawnRyan playing the classic disco sound - from past to present. If there's a group of DJs qualified to give a danceable disco history lesson, these guys are it! The music knowledge between these three gents runs DEEP and it was a great time hanging with them while they laid down this funky mix!

This Saturday night (5/30), get HOOKED at Franky Bradley's.

Hooked Radio | Hot Mix 05/14/15

@djaptone has had a killer year since unveiling his disco-tinged moniker Michael The Lion, contributing to a sold out 12" on Soul Clap Records with his track "Funk Train", releasing his own jam-packed 12" of edits on Brooklyn's Razor-N-Tape, and starting one of the city's hottest parties at new venue Franky Bradley's, HOOKED. Michael blessed the airwaves on Saturday afternoon with a slew of feel good disco vibes that you need to hear!

Strange Danger

Fashen has been one of the top club DJs in the US for at least the last ten years, and "So Complete" was his first release of original music.  Fashen is an absolute genius on the turntables, an incredible performer, and his energy and knowledge translated perfectly in this three song EP.

Now Fashen is back with an EP of remixes by Thee Mike B, Bang Noyes, Sammy Bananas and Solidisco.  It's a complete package of disco house, tech house, filter house, filter disco, balearic disco, throwback house, and house house!

Fashen - Ecstacy (Solidisco remix)

Young Robots is a record label run by Skinny Friedman, DJ Apt One, DJ Ayres and Relative Q.  We put out dance music and also some other stuff.
