Old Apparatus ‘Realise’ from Sullen Tone on Vimeo.
London’s Old Apparatus are an intriguing prospect: a crew who first turned up with a precociously fully-formed release on Mala’s DEEP MEDi label that aligned them with its dubstep output, before embarking on a series of self-released 12"s which don’t quite sound like anyone else. In the meantime, they’ve remixed Shangaan Electro for Honest Jons’ Shangaan Shake compilation, and recently put out the Derren 12" through Sullen Tone. Now they’re set to release its follow-up, the Realise EP, again through Sullen Tone, on 10th September. You can watch the video to the meditative, droney title track above, which sets the music to a similarly indistinct and phantasmic set of visual images.
