Review: Although he has previously released music on Jus-Ed's Underground Quality label, Apoena (real name Henrique Casanova) has spent much of his near decade-long career putting out cuts on his own imprint, Allnite Music. It's for that reason that this surprise outing on Freerange Records is such a big deal. The Brazilian's many years of experience shine through on assured opener 'Must Go Deeper', a rolling, hypnotic and atmospheric affair in which hazy stabs, bleeping electronics and hissing cymbals ride a crunchy, snare-heavy groove. 'Mind' is a more groovy, positive-sounding affair that boasts bolder bass and more colourful chords, while title track 'Dark Emerald' boasts billowing chords, dark string stabs, infectious bass and rolling deep house drums.

Review: Autoreply offshoot Stuga Musik welcomes back Apoena, who hails from Porto Alegre, capital of the Rio Grande Do Sul state in southern Brazil. His first release for Stuga Musik - Falando Serio - was championed by the likes of Baby Ford, Willie Graff and Jus-Ed among others, the latter proceeding to release the self-titled Apoena album on his own Underground Quality imprint earlier this year. As an accomplished musician of many instruments and nationally renowned reggae artist, it's no surprise he knows a thing or two about making a killer record. Here he steps up with "Mover", a warm, hypnotic floor-workout that references the early pioneers and is equally suited to peak time or early morning play. The second cut "Cooler" displays layer upon layer of colorful emotion whilst showcasing the artists love for vintage keys and analogue synthesis.

Review: Hot on the heels of Och's epic "Stops Out" EP for fledgling Autoreply offshoot Stuga Musik, the impressive boutique London imprint returns with this double dose of dancefloor moodiness from Apoena. Hailing from Porto Alegre, capital of the Rio Grande Do Sul state in extreme south of Brazil, the producer shows a knack for combining the deep sounds of house and techno with a Latin flair for rhythm and percussion. "Nuvem" kicks things off with shuffling snares riding along tension filled chords and a locked-in groove. But it's the title track "Falando Serio" that takes the cake for us here, with warm chords and claps forming the backdrop to a killer drum pattern. A subtle beast.
