Review: Various Artists - Apparel Music B-Day 15 (Apparel Music)

You don't normally have a huge birthday party at 15 but you can see why Apparel Music have decided to go large on this one to celebrate!

No room for Lukus' 'Love Andeavour' (see review HERE) as it's crammed with slippery customers like Osunlade, last seen with Fred Everything on his label with Robert Owens (see review HERE), LYMA (as on Marcel Vogel's label, see review HERE) and Inkswel (last seen on Compost, see review HERE with Andre Espeut).

And probably best describe by the label themselves, "From the USA with Osunlade to Australia with Erin Buku & Inkswel; from Denmark with Ghosten (featuring Francesca Touré and IZZY NU) to Italy with 2KS and Kisk; Argentina and Brazil with Eduardo and HNQO (with Collateral Lab), Spain with Tuccillo, Germany and The Netherlands with Marcel Vogel & LYMA. It's about exploring genres, diving into far-off worlds, being curious about other places, other people and figuring out how to make them all feel comfy under the same roof, chilling in the same room. A room we've been furnishing for a while with our little treasures, some fancy furniture, some not-so-fancy, but always with passion. There’s more music to make, more stories to discover, more people to meet. Apparel Music is not just a label anymore, it’s a big, instinctive, unplanned love letter to everyone who’s been and who’ll be a part of it". 

As you can tell, founder Kisk's 'worldwide' vision of Apparel from Milano is a big mix start with his own track, 'I Wanna Dance With You' and it's non-strop until the last track 'SayNoMore' (Ed. did you see what they did there?) by 2KS .

Ten years ago they released a 20 track compilation, 'Jazzy Soup' and we're still licking out lips for more Apparel Music - Happy 15th B-day!.

Review: Lukus - Love Andeavour EP (Apparel Music)

Not the first to declare that 'If there's a hell below, we all goin' to go' but if true, let's take 'Love Andeavour' with us.

As one half of the SRWN (Chat Noir, Orion Arm), Lukus now takes a solo path with a project centered around sample-based, dynamic house music. 

With Love Andeavour EP, he serves up three super stylish and groovy cuts: 'Love Andeavour', 'I Am At O' and 'Bennet'. Typical of Apparel, more house music with deep soul and jazzy vibes.

The EP moves effortlessly between groove and texture, showing Lukus’ knack for sharp sampling and playful rhythms. His sound feels fresh and genuine, pushing things forward while staying rooted in the tradition of house.

Your not going to be disappointed with this one.

P.S. it is 'Andeavour' and not Endeavour.
