Apotek Records is born! This new label is the love child of the renowned Producer and DJ Jerome Sydenham also know for his flagship label Ibadan Records. Continuing from the existing legacy of the classic Ibadan Ten Inch series, which included monumental tunes like Timbuktu (Ibadan) and Sandcastles (Ibadan/Defected), Apotek was created to push the boundaries of the Techno genre. The first release "Asama" from Apotek Records shows Sydenham’s consistent commitment to quality material as also evident in the multiple classic releases from Ibadan Records.
For this first Apotek release, Sydenham has hooked up with Japanese Producer Hideo Kobayashi leading to the formation of their new techno duo “Nagano Kitchen†and here delivering their first single “Asamaâ€. This innovative techno delight, currently only in the hands of a select group of international DJs, is already causing chaos in some of the best rooms in the world.
The complete release list can be seen below which includes Sydenham & Kobayashi's range of deep techno material.
Latest release features not only the new Nagano Kitchen track "The Jump Off" but also a track called "Omie". "Omie" is a beautiful Minimal Techno track that fills a gap in this recently overlooked musical genre. This debut production from DJ Gabriel Chong will lay the foundation for this bourgeoning talents career who for years has been the premier Techno DJ in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The track is a fine example of Apotek Records’ commitment to a universal approach in search of the perfect beat!
