jakob apelian: better dimension ep
Francisco Espregueira
Apparel Music keeps on delivering their trademark smooth deep vibes, this time around introducing Stockholm-based Jakob Apelian and his Better Dimension EP. The Swede’s 3-track EP is stuffed with coolness, elegance and groove. Following releases on Tropical Disco, Fresh Take and Mostly Cozy, Jakob finds another perfect fit for his production tendencies in Apparel Music.
Better Dimension EP is better listened from start to end, in one breath. Stylistically well defined, the EP also showcases a his abilities for the technicalities - everything is extremely well polished and that shows. “Let Me Explain” starts things off with a laid back beat, a never tiring piano loop and a propulsive bass line. “Kimchi Jazz”, as the name indicates, is a jazzy affair reworking an excellent choice of samples. “Better Dimension “ is a classy tune, and also the title-track of the record - blending a smooth and fluid trumpet with a gentle yet dynamic bass, while the spacey keys takes us into that better dimension. Available on Bandcamp this is a masterly crafted house music record and promising output from Jakob Apelian.
