Release Notes:
RealDEEP’s first ever Sampler EP brings together some seriously deep new material from fresh new faces Don Clark a.k.a. re:search and South African artist Arnold Tempo, as well as from some veteran RealDEEP recording artists, including Cesar Ramirez, Apple Jazz, Brian Gardner, and Bjak. With a small taste from some of our favorite RealDEEP artisans, you’re sure to love our first installment of the Amuse Bouche EP!

Dishing out the first bite is Chicagoan, Don Clark a.k.a. re:search, with a piece entitled “On My Own”. Warm, wooly tones and dubby synths meet fiery congas and minimalistic percussion in this ultra deep cut. With his first, solo EP coming soon on RealDEEP, this tune gives us a sweet taste of what’s to come from his kitchen. The next two dishes come to us straight out of South Africa. First is RealDEEP favorite Apple Jazz, back at it again with another slice of deep melodies and harmonies entitled “Find The Way”. Sweet and subdued rhodes sprinkled with piano solos simmered in Apple’s secret ingredients bring us this tasty treat. Spicing things up is another newcomer, Arnold Tempo. Often found cookin’ it up in the kitchen along side Apple Jazz in their homebase of Pretoria, this master chef has stepped up to the plate to serve us a fiery hot new tune called “The Flute’s Punishment”. This dark roasted and driving percussive gem keeps things on a rolling boil until Arnold steps in and “punishes” a ripping flute riff, turning the temperature on this dish up a notch. Back with us again is artist Brian Gardner featuring vocalist Brenda D. with their new tune “I Knew It Was You”. Brian’s signature chunky & warped beats send this song ripping out of the starting gates, ready to tear a hole in any dancefloor. Ripe with Prescription sounding synth stabs, mellow pads and Brenda’s beutiful vocal snips, this rich little morsel is chock full of flavor. Rolling out another recipe for love is Bjak with his addition to the mix, “Old Photographs”. Bjak explores a variety of flavors using rich pianos, dreamy rhodes and unexpected and moody transitions. Spiced up with stabbing strings, rolling basslines and dubbed-out vocal snips, this deep burner leaves your tastebuds yearning for more. Mellowing out the flavor a bit and finishing off our Amuse Bouche Sampler is blossoming RealDEEP musician Cesar Ramirez. Squeezing this little beauty in between his first release, “The Remeberance EP”, and his upcoming release, “The Heartwork EP”, Cesar brings us the single “Water’s Edge”. Rolling congas and minty basslines are topped with melancholy keys riffs which drip from this little delicacy like warm caramel. Beautifully cleansing the pallet, this cut finishes off our first sampler with a silky-smooth finish. Bon appetit!

“The Forbidden Fruit EP” by Apple Jazz
Release Date: 01/09/2010

— Tracklisting: —
A1. “Endless Hunger”
A2. “A Deep Whole”
B1. “Midnight Prayer”
B2. “Jazz Party”

Release Notes:
After planting the “”Seeds of Life EP” [RDR006], his debut on RealDEEP Recordings, Apple Jazz returns once again to entice us with 4 more smoldering-hot tracks on “The Forbidden Fruit EP” [RDR010]. Tempting you to take your first bite is “Endless Hunger”. Moody, rich organs and a stabbing, wobbly sub-bass drop this tune deep into Detroit beatdown territory with the addition of tribal, dubbed out percussion and shimmering synths. Luring you deeper into the EP is “A Deep Whole”. This track drops in with a thick kick, jacking squared out synth stabs and rolling bass line. Dreamy strings ride over the top and lead the song into a warm, melodic breakdown like only Apple Jazz can devise. Exploring unconventional sounds and stimulating textures, while bringing the EP’s energy up a notch, is “Midnight Prayer”. Swinging, drums and bouncy bass lines are met by gritty and gated, yet intoxicatingly warm, synth lines, reminiscent of the Sonar Kollectiv sound. Loaded with builds-ups and breakdowns, this track is cinematic from beginning to end. Ending our journey through the garden and leaving you with sweet nectar running down your lips is “Jazz Party” a seductively jazzy journey into the house of Apple Jazz. Pensive chord progressions and masterful piano solos display the virtuosity that sets Apple Jazz at the head of the pack. Be prepared for another quality installment of RealDEEP house, because once you’ve tasted The Forbidden Fruit, there’s no turning back!
