Review: Whilst Laurie Osbourne's contribution to the hardcore continuum cannot be debated thanks to his involvement in the Skull Disco label with Shackleton, his production career as Appleblim to date has had a sense of needing the safety net of a studio partner, albeit impressive ones with collaborative releases alongside Peverelist, Ramadanman, Gatekeeper, Shackleton and most recently Komon. Finally Osbourne shows his hand at solo releases with the release of the Fluorescent/Past Present Future 12? which comes via his own Applepips label. Both productions see Appleblim embrace the house template, albeit with a broken sensibility which is most prominent on "Flourescent". Hopefully this pair of cuts is just the start for Appleblim in solo mode.

Review: As one of the more anthemic cuts from Apple Pips a couple of years back, Arkist's "Rendezvous" gets two varying remix treatments from Scuba in his more technoid SCB alias after undergoing some thorough road-testing from label boss Appleblim. The "2013 dub" is a po-faced affair that keeps the mood simmering through a measured layering of rhythms in that most functional of ways, gradually reaching a zenith once the solid bass synth comes bleeding into earshot. The "2011 edit" is a more stripped and sassy house version that lets more of the melody from the original play in the mix, while keeping that rigid construction favoured for SCB material intact.

Review: The excellent Arkist makes a welcome appearance on Appleblim's imprint with title track "Rendezvous" a heavily percussive stepper with floating vocal snippets that places it somewhere between Sepalcure and George FitzGerald. It's the spacious future boogie step of "Fill Your Coffee" that has us most excited though, one for languid 23rd Century Saturday mornings. The expansive sense of space created and plethora of deft sonic squiggles sound like what would happen if Onra upped sticks and moved to Bristol. Essential 12"!

Review: Not to be confused with the US-based, video nasty obsessed synth nerds of the same name, Bristol-based Gatekeeper's releases for the likes of Skull Disco and Punch Drunk have been few and far between but have always displayed a keen ear for progressive dubstep rhythms. This EP on Apple Pips is undoubtedly his sharpest to date - "Atmosphere Processer" utilizes a galloping breakbeat, a revving bassline and dusty synth pads for some proper Metalheadz meets contemporary Bristol vibes. "Let Us In" on the other hand is full of more suitably stripped back rhythms, but with a distinctly more dubbed out atmosphere coating its corkscrew bassline.

Review: Elusive North London producer Joe emerged last year with the incredible sounds of "Grimelight/Rut" on the famed Hessle Audio label, and now is ready to bring us his second 12" on Appleblim's Apple Pips imprint. Crackling into the audible range with delicately tapping breaks, bongo-thumping beats and soothing sonorous atmospherics, "Untitled" is a touching and melodic exploration into an inner musical consciousness. It's percussive and tribal, with distinct inklings of fellow Hesslers Ramadanman and Pangaea in the rumbling bass and stripped back grooves of the piece. "Digest", on the flipside, immediately snaps into action, with sizzling synths, woodblock beats and abrasive chords capturing the attention and imagination from the off. Strangely, subtly captivating, it's another finely crafted piece from a highly skilled producer. One thing's for sure- he's not your average Joe.

Review: Fresh off a well received debut on Will Saul's Aus label, Komon returns to the Apple Pips cause with a two tracker primed to do some dancefloor damage. Listening to lead track "Cosmic John" it's hard not to feel the Bristol based producer wasn't inspired by the recent Remiks of "Silencio," Komon's collaboration with Appleblim from Prins Thomas that launched Applepips offshoot Pipped. Certainly there's a melodic twinkle to the track that's reminiscent of the Full Pupp boss, though it's matched by the kind of bassline mastery that has Bristol wired into it's DNA. Face down and we find Komon in a much rowdier mood, with a bassline on "So Easy" that can't help but invoke the spirit of classic UK garage, spin backs and all. Still though it's Komon's fresh production finish that makes this memorable, as opposed to mere pastiche or throwback.

Review: Bringing a slice of upbeat and sassy good time party music to Apple Pips, Komonazmuk has shortened his name and coaxed label boss Appleblim out of hiding for a collaborative release that smacks of studio fun and quintessential hybrid sounds. "Gas Jam" maximises on snappy slices of vocal over a nagging shuffle that somehow winds up with something of an old-skool rave flavour. "Silencio" is a more curious affair, sliding into a Balearic-paced groove rich in arpeggios and easy atmospherics that begs to be slow-jammed out under a sunkissed sky. It's a certain step away from bass music, eschewing any need for moodiness in favour of pure positivity.

Review: As their slew of recent singles continues, October and Borai emerge on Applepips with yet more essential tackle for broadminded dancefloors. "I Didn't Mean To" finds itself in a compromising position between broken rhythmic trysts and technoid propulsion, all the while off set by achingly beautiful, twinkling pads. It's still a strong floor track, but in a truly hypnotic and uplifting way. "Palmarosa" meanwhile is honed for maximum body response, with a firm undercarriage and sassy saxophone flairs perfect for those feverish moments deep in the heat of the night. Either way you'll find it hard to prise this one out of your bag.

Review: Bubbling Bristolian talent Orphan101 follows up releases on Saigon and his own DECA Rhythm imprint with a debut for Apple Pips! "Propa" kicks things off with a flurry of clicks, alarm style bleeps and midnight chimes like the cinematic soundtrack to a psychological thriller. This is soon swept away by a bone-crushingly heavy, deep DMZ style bassline, which quivers away squid bass style with light, ticking percussion sketched over the top. Juddering chords create a sense of unease, like a light flickering in the gloom or a moth's wings pattering against a bulb. This is complemented by "Disemble", which tunes into his techno sensibility much more palpably with a rippling undercurrent reminiscent of Rockwell's "Reverse Engineering'. Fractured sounds, bubbling bass and bewildering SFX build gradually on top of one other and seem to ebb and flow like organic structures before the track finishes abruptly but masterfully with an artistic musical flourish.

Review: The artist otherwise known as Marcus Intalex has been making serious waves over the past year with his techno leaning Trevino alias, and following releases on Martyn's 3024, [Naked Lunch] and The Nothing Special, he steps up to Appleblim's Apple Pips for his biggest release to date, swapping linear 4/4 for something altogether more interesting. "Indulge" is a particularly Drexciyan number complete with breakbeat rhythm and dystopian pads, while "Under Surveillance" is a significantly moodier cut which combines the atmosphere of early dubstep with a jagged electro bassline.
