“'Apollo Vibes' marked the beginning of a fantastic adventure within the Bedrock label. Having the privilege and honor to open with what is universally regarded as one of finest mixed compilations, the ‘Los Angeles' from John Digweed, was also a milestone for us. 20 years later to see a reissue of this track with excellent remixes is a great pleasure for us and the opportunity to share it again with you with new perceptions.” Pole Folder
Bedrock are proud to return to an absolute seminal classic. One of the biggest prog anthems from the turn of the century: ‘Apollo Vibes’ from Pole Folder & CP. Iconic in every sense, it captures everything that was exciting and innovative about progressive house in the late 90s/early 2000s.
20 years later its timelessness is celebrated by an all-star cast of remixers. Recruited by label founder John Digweed for their strong sense of melodic and love for cosmic grooves, each act brings a whole new twist the space-bound original. Petar Dundov adds a whole new rocket booster as a vital new top line emerges into the mix, giving the trip a whole new sense of navigation.
Next-up is another label family member Tara Brook with a take that stays true to the original. Digging deep into Pole Folder & CP’s iconic bass pulsations, she ups the tempo and adds a contemporary sense of energy while paying full respect to the blueprint.
Finally Phi Phi and Manu Riga’s new Kayinda project makes its Bedrock debut with an exciting subverted conclusion. Lowering the tempo for a deep, sexy, swinging groove, once again the elements of the original are all in place but the arrangement, flow and focus bring it fully into the future… Ensuring Pole Folder & CP’s exemplary original lives on and mesmerises dancefloors for another 20 years.
Complete with the original, in all its 11 minute glory, there’s plenty of rocket fuel left on this one. Ready for take off?
