This time, the head honcho and resident DJ of Edinburgh party ‘Tweak_’ delivers four standout original cuts, with an Editions EP slated for later in 2018. The EP rolls straight into title track ‘The Mirror’. Hooky percussion and warm cosmic reverb atmospheres give way to a relentless bass and synth stab pattern guaranteed to get dancefloors grooving. ‘Without’ sees Apter resume his successful collaboration with Leon Power. Power’s trademark haunting vocal and production marks a driving and emotional, forward-looking track. ‘Babylon {Club Dub}’ is next up, melding punchy drums and rolling bass arpeggios with wistful synth lines and chorus-drenched vintage pads. Closing things out is ‘Remember’, the artist’s tribute to those who lost their lives or were otherwise affected by London’s Grenfell Tower disaster. This dark, dislocated piece of techno samples words spoken by British-Jamaican dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson in the aftermath of the 1981 New Cross Fire and channels Apter's anger and sadness at last year’s horrific and avoidable human tragedy. All profits from sales of ‘Remember’ will be donated to the British Red Cross London Fire Relief Fund. Both deep and emotional, functional and meaningful, ‘The Mirror’ EP presents four stories in sound that reflect the power of dance music to move us. Artwork by Simon Vaeth.
