Review: For the label's first outing of 2023, Apparel Music has decided to introduce us to a new talent - self-proclaimed small-town country boy Immersif. As debuts go, it's a quietly confident and gently impressive affair, with the French producer deftly showcasing the depth and subtle variety of his jazz-flecked sound. He begins with title track 'Grands Bains', a wonderfully rich and warming chunk of jazzy deep house rich in undulating saxophone lines and twinkling electric piano solos (think 'Boulevard'-era St Germain and you're close), before serving up a spacey slab of liquid D&B brilliance (the LTJ Bukem-meets-Adam F flex of 'Eysinna Express'). To round things off, he goes slower and even deeper on 'Analog Breakup', an immersive and intergalactic slab of yearning future jazz brilliance.
Review: For the uninitiated, 4evergreen is Apparel Music's "back catalogue" series, with each multi-artist EP sporting cuts from the Milan-based imprint's bulging archives. To kick things off, we're taken back to the birth of the hush-hush, vinyl-focused Apparel Wax series and 2017 debut offering '001A1', a jazzy, sun-splashed slice of sample-heavy deep house goodness, before we're given another chance to savour Hurlee's brilliant 2018 cut 'In The Sunshine', a sing-along slab of summery deep house warmth tailor-made for festivals and al-fresco parties. Next the Italian imprint mines Modulearth's 2015 set 'Blue Note' to rescue Moony Me's sensationally sub-heavy, sunrise-ready rework of 'Broken Memories', before rounding things off with 'For Gil and New York' by Francesco Zani - a killer 2013 peak-time house workout with jazzy flourishes that makes great use of Gil Scott-Heron samples.

Review: Apparel Music regular Apparel Wax - a shadowy man of mystery who has never revealed his identity - returns to the imprint with something special: a mixtape style release made up of his own previously unreleased, and obtusely named, tracks. You'll find the mix itself tucked away at the end of this digital version, but we'll concentrate on the tracks themselves, which take a colourful, inviting, gently jazzy and supremely sun-splashed approach to deep house. Highlights include the hands-in-the-air, disco-flecked goodness of '006A1', the '80s soul-sampling '005A2', the rainbows of sonic colour that is the peak-time ready '003B' and the tooled-up re-edit style afternoon delight that is 'LP001A1'.

Review: Luca Ferrera made his first appearance as Butch Haynes two years ago on Sistrum Recordings, via a typically intergalactic fusion of deep house ad Motor City techno sounds. There's a similarly far-sighted feel to Ferrera's first Apparel Music outing, with opener 'Sonata Interstellar' offering the perfect blend of slowly shifting synth-strings, spacey chords, languid machine drums and undulating analogue bass. His love of tactile, sci-fi sounding synths also comes to the fore on the chunkier and warmer 'Everybody' (a track accompanied by a wonderful Andres-esque deep house revision courtesy of Kisk) and 'Call313 Detroit 2Back', where star-fall melodies and ghostly pads rub shoulders with smoother beats and another killer analogue bassline. 'The Passage', a gorgeous chunk of beatdown-influenced downtempo bliss, completes a fine EP.
