HAPPY HOUR Vol. 1 You know that moment when work is finally over, someone says “just one drink?”... and somehow you’re still there a few hours later? That’s exactly what Happy Hour Vol. 1 is all about. Inspired by Milan, our town and the city of aperitivo, this collection brings together ten tracks by the Apparel Music family: light, warm, groovy house music that just makes everything feel a little easier. Some feel-good rhythms and the kind of records that naturally become part of the conversation. It’s music for terraces, rooftops, beach bars, kitchen speakers, open windows. Released on October 9th, 2026, this is the first chapter of a new series. Think of it as a playlist made by friends who care a little too much about choosing the right music for any situation.

Milano Fashion Week Vol. 1 marks the first chapter of Apparel Music’s seasonal soundtrack series, released alongside every Fashion Week. Ten tracks from the label’s roster, curated like a capsule collection, balancing understated house, leftfield club aesthetics and refined electronic craftsmanship. Less trend-driven. More forever pieces. Because the best things, whether you wear them or listen to them, aren’t made for a season, but for the years that follow. Built around texture, rhythm and negative space, this is music for people who know that the right soundtrack is never an accessory, it’s part of the silhouette. See you next season.

Two sound architects Mario Arici and Federico Baracco lock themselves in a room with nothing but a drum machine, a guitar, and zero chill. What comes out isn’t a single or an EP in the boring sense. It’s a spell. Three chapters. One groove kingdom. Out on September 25, 2026 via Apparel Music. They call it Get Out My Ass, because subtlety was never the assignment. Chapter One: “Get Out My Ass”. The title track hits like the EP’s club bouncer: no small talk, just a disco loop that clamps onto your hips. It’s minimal on paper, maximal in practice. This is the “just trust the groove” school of disco, a little cheeky, but it always delivers. Chapter Two: “Who’s He”. A stranger with pitched-up vocals, like he inhaled a balloon full of confidence and funk. Funky guitar struts in, making the kind of entrance that owns the room. Percussion keeps the plot moving, and the keys add the little glint-in-the-eye detail that makes you go, “Wait... who is this guy?”. Chapter Three: “Wonder”. The happy ending. Percussion still drives it (the EP’s heartbeat never really stops), but now it’s wrapped in harmonies. Disco-funk, but the fresh kind, not nostalgic, not retro cosplay, just genuinely alive. This is the “and they all dance happily ever after” chapter.

Not every collection walks the runway. Some of them live in the headphones, backstage, inside castings, fittings, late-night studios and after-show conversations. Milano Fashion Week Vol. 1 marks the first chapter of Apparel Music’s seasonal soundtrack series, released alongside every Fashion Week.

Baku sits at 40° north, Helsinki at 60°, different climates, different time zones, different ideas of what seasons actually mean. None of that mattered once Emran Badalov and Heidi B ended up working together, and the four tracks that came out of it, landing on Apparel Music September 11, 2026, treat that distance as the whole point rather than something to work around. It’s the kind of pairing the label has quietly built its identity on, proof that music closes gaps faster than almost anything else. Badalov works out of Baku, and over the years has released under names like 909 Rave, Vinyl 33, Astral Motion and Second Mars. Heidi B, writing from Helsinki, runs on the opposite instinct, melodies that land on first listen, a voice that doesn’t need volume to fill a room. Together, they’re proof that distance was never really the obstacle people assume it is. Give It To Me (Original Mix) opens with the smallest gap of the four, vocal and groove pretty much locked together, playful and flirtatious, a structure that never feels forced. A Lady (Original Mix) stretches the distance through time instead, a couple of decades back, that cowbell pulls in textures straight out of the ‘80s and ‘90s, not as a nod but as a real throwback, the kind that makes the track feel older than it is, in the good way. Then the two Dub Mixes close the gap from the other side, stripping the vocals out entirely and leaving just the groove, proper tools for DJs who want the distance between body and beat to disappear completely. Four tracks built on the idea that gaps, between countries, between decades, between voice and rhythm, exist to be closed. Give It To Me EP drops via Apparel Music on , 2026.

For years now, has been part of the extended Apparel Music family, moving freely through our frequencies with a creative force that always finds fertile and open ground to evolve. His music lives in rhythm first, with his that twist, breathe, collide and regenerate continuously, driven by a compositional instinct that always feels visionary. Yet one of the most beautiful aspects of his artistic universe is the way he surrounds himself with other sensitive minds and voices, artists capable of expanding his rhythmic architecture into harmonic, soulful and emotional territories. “Creator”, out on on Apparel Music, perfectly captures this spirit. The EP opens with the hypnotic , where the vocals of Alice Payne and the talent of Willie Dynamo slide effortlessly through Inkswel’s unmistakable Late Nite Club Mix, a deep and fluid introduction that immediately sets the tone for the journey. The original version keeps the same soulful tension while stripping things back into a warmer and more direct groove, before the instrumental counterpart reveals how much detail and movement is hidden inside the rhythmic layers alone. “Cry For Mount Lebanon” shifts the atmosphere into something more cinematic and spiritually charged, showing Inkswel’s ability to move beyond club structures without losing momentum, while “Stand Out In The Crowd” sees the unmistakable presence of Colonel Red bringing raw soul energy and human warmth to one of the EP’s most infectious cuts. On “Fig Leaf”, the elegant voice of Lizzie Bradley with the help of Leonard Charles shape a softer and more introspective dimension, balancing the record with sensual harmonies and delicate melodic tension. The instrumentals included throughout the release are not simply alternate versions, but another way to enter the architecture of the EP itself, exposing the precision, freedom and musical intelligence behind every groove. “Creator” once again confirms Inkswel’s rare talent for building collective worlds through rhythm, where every collaborator becomes part of a larger emotional and sonic conversation.

Nonduality returns to Apparel Music, and this time he brings a collaborator. The Intelligent Twiddler EP, out , 2026, marks his third appearance on the label, following the Melodies EP in 2020 and Augurio EP with Elayas in 2022, and introduces Chirop into the AM family for the first time. The two -based producers have been close for years, studiomates, creative confidants, part of the same tight-knit community that shapes the city’s underground. That proximity shows in the music. Intelligent Twiddler doesn’t sound like a collaboration assembled from parts; it sounds like a conversation that’s been going on for a long time and finally found its way onto record. The EP lives at the intersection of dub-club sensibility and machine-driven precision. Textures breathe and decay. Rhythms lock in and then subtly shift. There’s patience here, and a quiet confidence, the kind that comes from two people who know exactly what they’re after and don’t need to rush toward it. Nonduality’s instinct for depth and movement meets Chirop’s dub-rooted approach to sound design, and the result is something that pulls you in without announcing itself. For Apparel Music, represents a natural extension of the label’s commitment to music that takes its time and earns its space. A made between friends, in a room, over years of shared listening. It shows.

Out on July 17 2026, with the single You Mean Everything, Brejner & The Teacher deliver the second entry in the Apparel Music Breaks catalogue, and they don’t let up. Where Hold Up set the tone with rawness and clarity, You Mean Everything opens a new dimension within the same framework. Soulful, warm, and effortlessly placed voice, sits inside the groove rather than above it, recalling the golden era of and early 2000s soul without ever feeling like a recreation. This is not nostalgia but it’s a living reference, filtered through the duo’s instinct for what moves a room. The production holds true to the APB language: breaks that breathe, a low end that anchors without crowding, and a swing that feels inevitable. But here the rhythm makes space, lets things open up, allows the vocal to carry weight and memory. The result is a track that hits hard and lingers. You Mean Everything confirms that Apparel Music Breaks is not a one-idea catalogue but a space with range, capable of housing pure rhythm and human emotion within the same sonic philosophy. as structure, as language, and feeling as motion.

APPAREL INTERVIEW:
Marco Poggiali
Florence, Milano, Pietrasanta [Italy]

There’s a floor above Galleria in Milan that not everyone gets to see. Marco is waiting at the entrance, opens the door himself, and in that simple gesture there’s already something essential about who he is. No distance, no unnecessary ceremony. You go up together, and as you climb the stairs you get the feeling you’re entering something more intimate than a gallery, a world built slowly, over time. The space is full of work: some pieces leaning against the floor, others on the walls, others wrapped and waiting to leave or finally find their place. Books, papers, catalogues piled on the desk with that particular, unselfconscious disorder that belongs only to rooms that are truly lived in. It’s not chaos. It’s evidence of work, of obsessions, of conversations, of years. The light is low and diffuse, more shadow than illumination. And yet everything feels sharp. Outside there’s Foro Buonaparte, the traffic, doing what Milan does. In here, time slows down, as if this suspended floor runs on a different clock entirely. Marco sits in the middle of the room, on a plain chair, surrounded by this fragile and beautiful equilibrium of works, paper and memory. We settle into the two armchairs facing him, and before anyone says anything, all of us take a moment to look around. As if we need to register the privilege of being here. Because this is not an office, and not quite a either. It’s the visible archive of a family and professional history that reaches back a long way, to , to the countryside, to picture-framers’ workshops, and arrives here, at one of the most significant addresses in Italian contemporary . We talk without rushing, in a way that feels almost out of place for a Monday afternoon.
