IBR010 AP3X - Manufactured Reality (Original + Bad Tango Remix)


Here we are, with our 10th release. This time showcasing the talent of New Zealand's ownAp3x. Coming at you with a brooding little tech roller called Manufactured Reality, with support from Bad Tango (UK) who brings us a remix that pairs really well with the original.

Hailing from Auckland NZ, Ap3x is well known in his local scene as a DJ that has an uncompromising style. Playing dark and heavy, underground breaks tunes. Over the years he has mellowed out just slightly and is playing more tech/psy oriented sets. This style is showing in his recent production work. His tunes have been rising to impressive heights in the charts, showing that this is one producer to keep a close eye on in the future. This tune has a dark, progressive edge to it. Tempered with subtle synth fills and atmospherics that give the tune a nice bit of space.

On the flip side, Bad Tango has taken the tune and run with it. Adding a bit of squelch and shuffle to the bassline and lacing the tune with more fx and synths to impressive effect. The remix really opens up after the second drop with a wild psychedelic arpeggiated synth line that lifts the tune to a higher level and will leave you with a tough decision on which version to play in your set. My suggestion is to play both.

new stuff from my fave little Kiwi.... cool stripped back original that builds throughout into a wicked little groovy tune - nicely done. interesting Bad tango taking a deeper vibe on his remix, lots of variations and tweaks, bit more groovy.

Well, mate, this is top pack! Sure, I love the Original - Shane made smart technical construction, but what Bad Tango did on it! Will is one my favs musicians at present and this remix sounds absolutely clear - proper psychedelic for a good trip! Full support from me!
