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!
