Review: Apparel Music's latest compilation series, Coffee Club, has been designed to showcase "laidback vibes and soulful grooves" of the sort that can provide the perfect accompaniment to supping on a latte, long black or double espresso. The six tracks on show on volume one undoubtedly hit this brief, with highlights including the sinewy, ultra-deep, sunrise house wooziness of Apparel Wax's '0091A', the vibraphone-laden, early St Germain-esque wonder of 'Soul Haze' by Sek, the jazzy and dubby lusciousness of Sune's 'En Saga', and Girls of the Internet's deep, dusty and chunky remix of 'Everytime' by Jason Heresco, where vintage female vocal snippets, tactile electric piano chords and a jazzy bassline all catch the ear.

Review: Aparel Music has come up with a novel way to mark its 13th birthday - a series of 13-track comps, each boasting a mix of recent highlights and deep cuts, tailor-made for a handful of download and streaming sites. So, what can you expect from Junodownload's exclusive Apparel Music collection? In short, a sublime mixture of dreamy, dub-wise, slow-motion deepness (Roy Giles remixing Ahautzab), tactile and immersive deep house goodness (Eddie Shkiper, Desos), colourful fare rich in jazzy instrumentation (Four Walls' superb 'Hello Underground'), jazz-funk-flavoured nu-disco (Polar Lights) and high-grade peak-time fare (a typically dusty and warming slab of excellence from the legendary Delano Smith).

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: 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.

Kisk feat Robert Owens
Played by: Kisk
Review: Apparel Music founder Kisk (real name Giuseppe D'Alessandro) has pulled off something of a coup here. The long-serving producer has persuaded Robert Owens, owner of the most distinctive voice in dance music, to provide some effortlessly emotional vocals to his latest single. In its original form, "Your Face" is a subtly Latin-tinged number that adds some gently summery swing and contemplative Robert Owens vocals to the St Germain deep jazz-house template. It comes backed by a high number of largely impressive remixes. Our picks include Mangabey's classic, jazz-flecked deep house revision, Loopazz and Casio Casino's hazy, ultra-deep rework, the even deeper SCSI-9 take, and the extra-percussive, outer-space jazz-house workout that is Hugo Mari's impeccable remix.

Review: The term 'deep house' is applied so freely these days that at times it can seem meaningless, so be grateful that we still have the likes of Goddard around to remind us all what those words really mean! 'Fourth Dimension' is an instrumental jam centred around a squelchy bassline and fluttering, cascading synths, while 'Signals' channels vintage Chi-town deepness from the late 80s/early 90s. 'It's Not Cold In Tromso' is a more leftfield affair with pounding 4/4s and YMO-ish synths, while completing the package is the Jad & The Remix of the latter, a glacial, futuristic pass with acid house and electro influences.

Review: If you like your deep house on the jazzy and organic side, then this collection of tracks from Apparel Music that were previously only available on vinyl should be right up your alley. Opener 'LP001A1' is a looping funk jam with a rousing Ohio Players-esque chorus, 'LP001A2' is a midtempo, shuffling affair, 'LP001B1' is a lively workout with even more of a jazz bent, while 'LP001B2' blends jazz, house, funk and lounge into one glorious, shimmying concoction. 'LP001C1' is a pacier cut for the soulful house floors that bites Julie McKnight's vocal from 'Diamond Life', 'LP001D1' is a fine slice of contemporary boogie, and so it goes on...

Review: Leon Revel's track record to date is impressive, to say the least, with inspired outings on Secret Reels, Monologue, Kolour Recordings and Beats of No Nation earning him plaudits left, right and centre. There's naturally much to enjoy on this atmospheric, dreamy and sample-rich Apparel Music debut, too, not least the ultra-deep and jazzy shuffle of opener "Green Plus", where twinkling piano solos, drowsy chords and MPC house beats catch the ear. He dips the tempo for the arguably even deeper and more seductive "Realized You Shine", before working his magic with a bunch of jazz-funk and dewy-eyed jazz-fusion samples on mid-tempo gem "Third Rhythm". Speaking of jazz-funk, there are hints of Herbie Hancock and Kaidi Tatham on dreamy, acid-flecked deep jack-track "Warm Pattern".

Review: Inako Hurtado Diaz may not be the hardest-working producer around, but he's certainly building a strong case to take the title. Since 2013, the Palma de Mallorca native has released an impressively high number of quality EPs on a similarly epic list of labels. His latest three-tracker for Apparel Music is, somewhat predictably, pleasingly strong. He begins with the lolloping, piano solo-laden disco-house breeziness of "Beating For You" - all filtered vocal samples, sunshine grooves and swirling effects - before brilliantly turning a slick '80s soul bomb into a cheery chunk of peak-time positivity on "In The Sunshine". To finish, he sticks a rocket under a horn-heavy early soul gem on the similarly smile-inducing goodness of "Love Song".

Review: Apparel Music Introduces the second chapter of their new series, by the Milan based artist 'who tears the dancefloor apart. ' APLWAX002 features groovy beats, catchy melodies and vibrant harmonies that come together to create a solid four track release with soul: the soul of the music they love to dance to. The whole EP moves together in an organic way, from the very first track "002A1" which is a slo-mo and definitely lo-slung late night joint. Then the dusty, late night Rhodes led deepness of "002A2" until the last one "002B2" which is infectious loopy downbeat business in the vein of Moodymann's "Mahogany Brown" era. It all creates an impactful musical story and everyone should be aware that the unknown mystery man is back in town!

Review: When it was first released on vinyl earlier this month, Apparel Wax's mysterious debut single was packaged with a cut-out-and-keep kit to create your own "Apparel Wax Goggles". Sadly, there's naturally no such freebie bundled with this digital edition, so you'll have to make do with the unknown producer's brilliant music instead. Highlights come thick and fast, from the hazy, soul-flecked, gospel-propelled disco-house warmth of opener "001A1" and sample-heavy jazz-house positivity of "001A2", to the swirling orchestral samples and bustling peak-time beats of "001B1", which niftily re-casts an easy listening disco cut as a spiraling dancefloor anthem. The looser and more languid "001B2" completes a tasty package.

Review: Jazzy Soup makers Apparel Music begin 2017 in fine fashion, celebrating their sixth birthday with another typically swinging collection of dusty, jazz-fuelled deep house workouts. There's naturally plenty to get the juices flowing, from the hazy trumpets, rubbery double bass and snappy beats of Voyeur's "Swingin' For Theo", to the rich, evocative and luscious, broken beat era jazz-funk of Kerem Akdag's killer closer, "Friend". In between, you'll find the spaced-out, bongo-laden house hypnotism of Kisk's "Just U", and the pitched-up deep house soul of "je Suis Reconnaissant", a collaborative affair co-produced by Ivano Tetelepta and Eugene Latumeten.
