With just a handful of release, CHURCH has already staked out its territory on the cerebral edge of electronic music.
Probing, experimental productions which fuse explorations in sound with a longing to rattle a few soundsystems, the label has uncovered a slew of young producers.
Co-founder Apes has kept his cards close to his chest, preferring to let the spotlight shine on those around him. Now the rising artist has confirmed his debut release – and it's a smash.
Out on April 14th via (where else?) CHURCH, Apes' debut EP contains four tracks of blistering, future-minded techno. 'Two Thousand Six' is straight up techno, with Chaos In The CBD stepping in on remix duties.
'Cold Love' meanwhile, harks back to that period when Germany grabbed hold of the techno template, matching intricate percussion clicks to a soothing, nostalgic feel.
Apes' cohort Seb Wildblood provides a deft remix, taking 'Cold Love' in a more directly dancefloor-driven arena.
