You will find in this category each week, a review on a top vinyl which is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
Passionate advocates of vinyl, Apollonia, founded by Dan Ghenacia and Shonky, re-press Point G’s rare classic “Underwater”, the first in a number of their personal out-of-stock favourites. It will be out on the 15th January 2013. The archetypal track of the Paris afterhours that encapsulates the sound of the Batofar Kwality parties, a memory which is at the very core and stimulus of Apollonia... “Underwater” was a favourite of the trio back in 98 and continues to be a record bag must-have in 2012. Moody, bassy, a freaky lose-yourself-moment in the spaced-out melody, this deep house classic is being re-pressed for the first time exclusively on Apollonia.
A1. Point G - Underwater
A production project of DJ Gregory, the Point G imprint created in the mid 90’s offered a dark, raw interpretation of US deep house, given his alternative French twist. Making a strong impact on the underground scene at the time, Point G gained much respect amongst his peers with timeless releases like “The Raw” and “On The Raw Again” EP’s, hence original copies of many of his early tracks are extremely scarce.
Continuing to be inspired by the sound of “Underwater” and known for seamlessly blending the best of the old with the new into their sets, Apollonia offers another chance for vinyl-lovers and underground anoraks to get their hands on this notoriously hard-to-find old skool gem. A Point G masterpiece, a modern day rarity and fifteen years on, a revered re-press.
Coming 2013… Apollonia, founded by Dan Ghenacia and Shonky, will re-press the soulful sounds of Kerri Chandler’s bomb “Sunday Sunlight”, including a new rework from a secret remixer.
