LP001

Apparel Music announce the arrival of Apparel Wax LP001, the label's first LP which opens a new catalog dedicated to albums. Apparel Music began to search the tracks for this 2x12" with the same guideline ever: the love for the music not thinking about the charts. The amazing artists who are taking part in the collective knew since day one that they had to put on a mask if they wanted to partake in this adventure; knowing how important is to "appear" nowadays, the label wanted to prove that they could make great music without the help of the big names - So far so good. For LP001, they picked amongst the different souls that house music has got, from disco to lo-fi, always focusing on their "jazzy" watermark and giving the opportunity to the artists to prove their interpretative skills on this theme once again. In February of 2019, Apparel Music will be blowing nine candles: no better time to celebrate with a new, fresh, and energetic record. Listening to this record is like walking around a house where the walls are made of the same concrete but every room has a different atmosphere that you can absorb in each distinct vibration. "A1" draws inspiration from the foundations of disco music and it's the best way to kick it off in style, followed by "A2" which is a groovy cinematic variation on the motif. "B1" is inspired by UK's broken-beats from the early '00s, wisely blended with deep keys and spacey synths while "B2" closes the first vinyl slab in the best possible Apparel-ish way, with a track that puts together all the elements that make the label recognizable: solid rhythmics, jazzy vibes, and groovy vocals. The second vinyl begins with "C1" and brings you back to the roots with a tune that tastes like a new version of a classic house sensation with a neat kick drum dialoguing with a crispy clap, alongside alluring vocal samples. Moving on to "C2", you'll find another room, another atmosphere which is pure deep. Flip the vinyl and you'll see pictures on the walls from one of our favorite movies from the eighties: if you listen carefully, "D1" will recall familiar words... "Wax on, Wax off..." With "D2" you step into the lo-fi, a sound that takes back to the present the warmth of the past in a new classy-chic fashion.
