APRON 002EP
|
London-based DJ and producer Steven Julien returns to his Apron Records imprint with a double A-side 12", bringing together the new gospel and R&B-influenced EP Time and previously digital-only EP Wraap't. Bridging sonic worlds together, from the soulful anthem "Time" and the glossy rap hit "Ultra," featuring James Massiah to the old-school house sound of "UP" and Julien's driving club remix of "Wraap't," featuring Fatima. Rounding off the EP with the instrumental "Ballad," a dreamy jazz-inspired excursion, further highlights the unique contrast of Steven Juliens' work.

Los Angeles' Jarren returns to Apron Records with a six-track offering of fresh selections. Following his Apron debut LP, Jarren returns with a new release titled Fresco that continues to explore his love for analog synths and squelching bass lines. The release builds on his signature style with fresh ideas, offering listeners another unique experience reflecting his West Coast origins. Jarren, an LA-based producer and DJ with Panamanian heritage, draws deeply from his rich musical roots. Growing up with a father who played saxophone, his early exposure to gospel and jazz has shaped his sound. Always in the studio, Jarren's music reflects this blend of influences. He's played at some of LA's coolest spots for the last ten years and toured overseas, sharing his laid-back dynamic energy with audiences everywhere.
