Applebush - >ONE
This is our 12-inch launch release from local collaboration >ONE. >ONE represents the joining of forces Mako MCR and Metrodome - the former who has gained recognition with airplay on BBC Radio One and Rinse FM; the latter who is associated with renowned acts and club nights including Zed Bias, Wet Play, Hit and Run, Full BEAM!, LEVELZ and Fabric.
Introduction by Piccadilly records:“Bit of a special one this folks. Local provocateur, dance music Casanova and the freshest smelling South African in Manchester, the man the myth the stone cold L E G that is Levi Love kick starts his new label with a record by three of the city's most celebrated rising talents. One sees star Levelz and Wet Play producer Metrodome joined by fellow mancs Alex Morgan and (MC) Sparkz for a global-unifying, upfront dance track that joins the dots between kwaito, house and Manchester's forward thinking techno prowess. "Applebush pt. 1" announces the project with a typically fast-paced and wry vocal commentary placed over a swaggering kwaito-funky hybrid, mixing up the SA rhythms with a UK sound palette and bass sensibility. Sparkz sounds relaxed and on form, while the track's production gold is revealed more towards the end, as Metrodome and Morgan open the filter up on this rattling, c64-esque mystic synth refrain. A glimpse into the studio trickery that characterizes these unique producers, it still keeps its feet proudly on the dancefloors of MCR's feverish underground. On the flip Sparkz takes a back seat as the Metrodome and Morgan take the stage to display their unfathomably fresh production traits. Reversed concentric vox blending nicely into skewed and pumpin' side chained 2-step - house fusion. Rich and engrossing, Ruud's ADHD production ethos keeping us on our
toes throughout and never reveling in superfluous repetition. Seriously, hot shit is this!
MVITA. Don't sleep.”
