"Philadelphia Maneto," the city of Philadelphia's motto, translates as "Let Brotherly Love Endure." In this spirit of togetherness, Young Robots label chief DJ Apt One curates a compilation of the Philadelphia and New Jersey area's eclectic and talented underground electronic and dance acts. From established acts Pink Skull and Todd Edwards (Daft Punk collaborator and half of Lux & Edwards) to local favorite DJs Billy W and Shawn Ryan (half of Superprince) to indie dance bands Nicos Gun and The Downtown Club, this record shows the depth and diversity of the scene. DJ Apt One remixes three live acts on the compilation, with an assist on the saxophone from his frequent collaborator, Fools Gold's Sammy Bananas. Instamatic, SAUR (My Techno Ways A Ton), aupl and mysterious house guru NITEWAX round out the record.

The tracks by Nicos Gun, The Downtown Club and Instamatic and their respective remixes by DJ Apt One will appear on a limited run vinyl release available in the Philadelphia area this summer and digitally via turntablelab.com.

Philadelphia's premier listener-supported radio station, WXPN FM, will co-sponsor the digital release, which will be available for free as well as through all Young Robots' usual digital sales outlets.

The release of the compilation will coincide with a July 18th concert on Philadelphia's Race Street Pier and a subsequent afterparty, featuring acts from Philadelphia Maneto.

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. HERE: http://bit.ly/19xvqqp

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.

Michael The Lion - Any Time - DIGI OUT NOW

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!

The 2015 Electronic Music Marathon was a 78 hour NONSTOP DJ marathon bringing together a diverse group of some of the best DJ talent in Philly to raise money for Mural Arts & WKDU.
