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.

There are producers who make music for the dancefloor, and then there are those who seem to build it directly inside one. belongs to the second category. Based in , a city that has never needed much of an excuse to dance, he brings a rare approach: every track is created live, with machines speaking to each other in real time. No safety net, no rigid grid. Just groove, instinct, and the control needed to let things happen at the right moment. Out on Apparel Music on , Happiness EP, his first release on the label, feels less like a collection of tracks and more like one continuous motion. It opens with immediacy, steps forward without asking permission, then gradually stretches into something looser, deeper, more physical. The energy never disappears, it just changes shape: from bright and direct, to hypnotic and body-led, until it reaches a final sense of release. There’s a natural flow running through the whole record, the kind that only happens when music is played rather than assembled, where each moment seems to grow out of the one before it. What ties these four tracks together is trust in repetition, in tension, in small shifts becoming feelings. lets the groove speak, and leaves its mark by staying honest to the moment it was made in. Four tracks, all made for the body before the mind.

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.

APPAREL INTERVIEW:
Tsuyoshi Tanaka
Tokyo-Milano [Japan / Italy]

There is something about Tsuyoshi Tanaka that puts you at ease almost immediately. Maybe it’s the way he listens before he speaks. Maybe it’s the lightness he carries, a kind of quiet wit that surfaces when you least expect it. Or maybe it’s simply that he seems genuinely happy to be in the room, whichever room that happens to be. We met him at a bar in Porta Venezia, a neighbourhood that keeps quietly redefining its own edges, absorbing new streets, new people, new energy without ever making a fuss about it. It felt like the right place for a conversation with someone who has done much the same thing across several very different cities: , where he was born, studied and built his eye and his instincts working in and fabric consultancy, , where he chose to put down roots, and Paris, which kept calling him back for work, becoming a constant back and forth that shaped him just as much as anywhere else. Somewhere along the way, between fabrics and flights, he also became a DJ. Over some still water and an espresso, we talked about taste and what it actually means, about fabric and music and the strange, stubborn logic of personal style, about travel and the kind of life that doesn’t fit neatly into a single category. moves between worlds with the ease of someone who has never felt the need to choose just one.

30/04/2026

Between the half-forgotten afterglow of a dancefloor and the quiet, stubborn act of sitting alone with machines and letting them speak back, Eduard0 returns to the Apparel Music Extra catalogue with Roll Wit It, a four-track EP that behaves like a set of small, self-contained universes that happen to orbit the same gravitational center. The Buenos Aires producer has already proven, across his previous appearances on the label, that stylistic borders are mostly administrative inventions anyway, useful for filing cabinets, less so for music that seems to arrive from several directions at once. What happens here is that familiar house logic gets gently but persistently bent. The title track, Roll Wit It, opens the record with a kind of effortless confidence, the sort that comes from a bassline that knows where it’s going while a saxophone drifts above it. From there the EP starts to loosen its tie. Even If I Fail carries a subtle Argentinian atmosphere, not in the obvious postcard sense, but in the rhythmic undercurrent, the feeling that the groove itself has memory. Then the record shifts again, as if Eduard0 briefly steps sideways into another room: Rideaway fractures the pulse into something broken and slightly tilted, a reminder that dance music doesn’t always need to walk in straight lines to arrive somewhere meaningful. By the time Inner Surrender comes, the record has slipped into something closer to a private thing than a club tool, a house journey that feels less interested in climax than in suspension, as though the track itself is discovering its shape in real time. Which might be the real trick of Roll Wit It: the sense that Eduard0 is not simply blending balearic ease, downtempo patience, and breakbeat elasticity into a personal style, but treating them as languages that can overlap, interrupt each other, or momentarily dissolve.

CLUB COUTURE — ISSUE 07:

(Onirika)
[Italy]

Guja Quaranta, known as Onirika, is an artist who could never have been anything else. Born in New York to Italian parents both deeply rooted in the creative world, her father a production designer, her mother a costume designer, she grew up on movie sets, surrounded by costumes, colors and perspectives. She built a visual imagination that carries the marks of all of this: the light of cinema, the composition of scenic space, an almost tailored sense of detail. Her artistic practice was born in an unexpected way, as it often happens with the most genuine things. During the first lockdown, in New York, faced with a city emptied and silent like it had never been before, Guja felt the need to give shape to what she was experiencing. The tool she chose was collage: unsold magazines, images torn from their original context, vivid colors recomposed into new balances. What emerged was another world entirely suspended, dreamlike. The name she chose for herself is no coincidence. Her work is precisely what the word “dreamy” can hold: not an escape from reality, but a transfiguration of it. An invitation to look at things as they could be, if only we shifted them a few inches from where we are used to seeing them.
