Ape Music was established in 2006 from the
ashes of the successful south west club night of the same name. After nearly
ten years as residents at ‘Beatz & Bobz’ (one of the country’s longest
running breaks nights) and at ‘Ape’ and having had many releases on other
labels such as Functional, Silo, Drum & Breaks and Wut Eva to name a few, Ben
& Lex are no strangers to what makes a good tune so they decided it was
time for them to get out there and start
their own label.
Just like their Dj sets, as anyone who has
been lucky enough to see them play knows, Ape Music will not be confined to one
style of breaks (or even genres) but will encompass everything from funky to
techy to tearout and out the other side! The only criteria is the quality. And
as they put it… ”well I’d play it!”
With the first release from themselves and
Propellerhead Will White already receiving rave reviews and getting props &
plays from the likes of Soul of Man, Dj Quest, Steelzawheelz, Plaza de Funk and
the Groovediggerz it would seem the label is off to a flying start.
Look out for more forthcoming releases
& remixes from Ben & Lex as well as Transformer Man, Groovediggerz, Entity,
Pilch, Afghan Headspin and many more.
