causa steps up to lead up the way for boogie box’s third release, delivering two house cuts, calo and cantales, in dedication to his friend and colleague marcus intalex aka trevino who sadly passed away last year. calo gets a rework on side b by aus music regular komon and berlin’s rising techno star pablo mateo.

following swayzak’s gestures of a sycophant, the third release on beatnik boulevard sees the return of appleblim after he launched the label in style with the conch shell motives ep. this time the berlin-based producer is working alongside long-time collaborator and fellow bristol bassweight alumni komon – the duo have turned out eps for aus music and apple pips in the past, but this 12” represents the first new material from them since 2014. the heads-down, meditative lilt of appleblim & komon’s bristol past looms in the shadows on this ep, but it’s shot through with a steely, modernist dance floor bite and high-end sound design. know yourself pivots around crafty, 2-step kinked drums but there’s plenty of space afforded to atmospheric synth surges that plunge the track into a mood-altering headspace just to the left of the conventional dance floor

romanian producer piktor presents -acid space ep- for lokomotiv’s second release lkmv002.

romanian talent suolo presents may be for lokomotiv’s first official release.
cosmic frequencies induce an intergalactic trip as may be transports us into space, while complete paranoia aims for those special fast-paced moments on the dancefloor after-hours.
romanian duo sit (cristi cons & vlad caia) add colour to the stripped down beauty of may be with their interplanetary interpretation, featuring suolo’s signature dreamy soundscapes and bouncy rhythms. the remix is driven by a deep-toned bassline while more otherworldly elements web together an out of body experience that we know you will enjoy.

with comparisons being made to psykick warriors of gaia, cyclobe and insanlars kime ne this ones definitely making waves amongst fans of.....well....whatever sort of music this is. komodo kolektif is a loose collective of veteran multi-instrumentalists based not in indonesia as one might expect with such a name, but glasgow, scotland, their name being a reference to the indonesian gamelan instruments featured in their compositions. the instruments used (saron, gender, kempul) belong to local gamelan ensemble gamelan naga mas of which two of the musicians have been full-time members for around a decade while the other members are also loosely affiliated and have appeared as guest musicians on various one-off performances and who are themselves well-known musicians in their own rights.

next up on aus music is the return of label boss will saul working alongside long term label favourite komon. together the duo line up harmonise - a smouldering single that comes backed up with an almighty pair of remixes from osgut ton mainstay nick höppner and analogue aficionados juju & jordash. the title track kicks things off with glowing, interweaved synths and a pattering tom line. vocal snippets and trippy delays suffuse a purposeful bass tone before the 101 dub version rolls out with punchy drums and a sharp, darting acid line. berghain regular nick höppner then does what he does best with his remix in building a rich, hypnotic groove that steadily develops with intricacy and depth. dekmantel and golf channel regulars juju & jordash then drive a warped, rumbling synth line through spacey atmospherics rounding off another fine addition to the catalogue.

discodromos ever-essential cocktail d amore label launches into action once more with the ear candy of komodo in tow. magic hour manages to work classic piano house tropes into a suitably cosmic headspace that s loaded with reverb and all things trippy, but its relatively grounded compared to the exotic meditation that the backwoods manage to conjure up on their oriental dub of the track. lizard dance channels early trance vibes to great effect in a celebration of early 90s rave mysticism and then sand dunes offers up a bubbling, friendly twist on acid house. using familiar tropes but still maintaining originality, from start to finish this is a classically rooted record with something to say.

aus music follow up a string of new signings with the return of 2 of the long-standing staples, label owner will saul and long term affiliate komon. the duo most recently collaborated on a 12inch for kompakt now together they ready the ‘eve’s seven’ ep a deep and dreamy 3-track ep that comes with a remix from recent signing recloose. bloom sets arresting riffs circling through rich textures that thicken and thin to startling effect. ‘eve’s seven’ follows up with dusty drum samples and bold melodies before the brooklyn native does what he does best in offering up a typically sunny take on komon & will sauls eves seven. sweeping filters and a short, driving bass line propel a highly energetic but playful rework primed for brimful dancefloors.

als einer, der sich nie leicht kategorisieren ließ, hat der hochrespektierte dj und produzent will saul stets die gesamte bandbreite der elektronischen tanzmusik zum thema gemacht: von deep house zu techno und uk bass findet alles den weg in seine sets und tracks, jenseits von genregrenzen und gerne inspiriert von zeitgenössischen wie klassischen impulsen.

aus follow up a slew of successful records from fold, bwana, sei a and shenoda with the welcome return of long-term label affiliate kieran lomax aka komon. having offered several collaborations on the label alongside appleblim and label owner will saul - komon now lines up his second solo ep splice

one of the most promising newcomers around and known from releases on bedrock and aeon, italian born francys presents his first ep for off.

in the wake of john talabots without yo 12inch that featured remixes from melchoir productions ltd, oskar offermann and mistakes are o.k, dj-kicks continue their tradition of packing up original material exclusively premiered through their globally beloved mix series and releasing it alongside a selection of remixes hand-picked by the compiling artist.

the second single from huxleys debut lp blurred drops on nov 10th on aus in the form of give 2 u featuring femme on vocals and will saul and komon on remix duties.

following up the chunky slab of festival fuel was huxleys >the machine ep<, the next installment sees the return of long-term label affiliates komon & appleblim for their second collaborative release on aus - motion blur.

trek 2013 was another exceptional year for will sauls ever-consistent, no-nonsense aus music imprint. as well as records from the increasingly familiar family fold - dusky, bicep, midland, sei a, leon vynehall - a new batch of producers stepped in as the label welcomed debuts from both huxley and glimpse, along with the return of fellow west country resident, komon (kieren lomax)

fresh from his brilliant release on aus music *walk the walk*, komon returns to apple pips once again to indulge his love of garage & house with a pair of utterly future-minded steppers that meld the funloving qualities of his productions with the most addictive kind of swing.

pipped is a brand new label from appleblim set up to explore new avenues and directions & get some exciting sounds out there quicker. coming on special one-sided handstamped vinyl, we are very proud to present the first release, a stonking rework of komon & appleblims *silencio* by none other than prins thomas. ever since hearing his amazing work with lindstrom and the killer remixes of hatchback, studio, lcd soundsytem & toby tobias, to name but a a few, it has been a dream to hook something up with him – so here it is, get your heads down and boogie….

despite having a weird and unpronounceable name, 2methylbulbe1ol, once again is about spread some slammin dubstep over your kitchen floor. this young artist from france appeared already on the ruff label. he has always provided some harsh and extremely well produce sounds. watch out for more crazyness to come from this lad...

after previous remixes for sideshow and mymy on aus music in 2009, bristol-based kieren lomax (aka komon) will return to will sauls respected imprint this july with, walk the walk. with his debut lp, released last year on apple pips, komon asserted himself as a producer capable of shapeshifting through a variety of soundscapes.

dj hidden remix is a great dancefloor soulfull warmachine, superb roller! the krumbe track is a hard dubstep melodious little perl. 2 superb tunes. enjoy!

hypercolour do it again with a fantastic signing arkist & komon who deliver a killer 2 tracker for their ltd offshoot.

kicking off a big year for apple pips with something tasty and different from komon & appleblim! having worked together on remixes for respected labels like ninja tune & aus, appleblim & komonazmuk (now going under the name komon for his house/bass productions) started jamming in the studio on some original material. messing with boundaries and having fun was the order of the day, and what we have here are two of the first results… ’gas jam’ is a bassline-led roller with a nod to both classic uk garage & the futuristic house & techno vibes of uk bass music. getting dropped on rinse fm on both the marcus nasty & hypercolour shows, & with eats everything & carl craig supporting it already you can hear why it appeals to open minded and diverse djs.. ’silencio’ shimmers and shines on a glooped-out balearic/kosmiche beat, an 80s soul soundsystem bassline funks on through and leads you into a woozy blissed out climax…slo-mo house/bass balearic bizniss… with more collabs with appleblim to follow this year, his new productions getting props from all angles, & releases lined up on hypercolour, komon’s year is shaping up nicely!

its growing desire to introduce this new ep from an upcoming artist a. skomoroh, who brings us a techno progressive sound with its own unique melodic danceable style!

nice price deal !!! i knew as soon as the track was complete what kinda remix i was after. pauls remix is exactly that. a percussive stripped back, moody full of bass workout. pretty much as far underground as you can go. - komonazmuk

incl &me remix(keinemusik)
killer techhouse groover

komonazmuk drops a tough slice of deep, stepping, and melodic dubstep for our 11th release… with his history in rave culture stretching back to the oldskool days, through releases on hardleaders & moving shadow with ice minus, right up to his current cutting edge productions, keiran lomax aka komonazmuk has got his fingers in many musical pies. having had big releases on scene-leaders like tempa, and his debut album coming on h.e.n.c.h. later this year, his versatility as a producer and engineer is second to none.
