Format: Vinyl 12"
Artist: Jerome Sydenham A: "My Pet Gorilla" B1: "Tonto" B2: "Museum of Modern"
My Pet Gorilla – a roling thunderstrorm!
“My Pet Gorilla” is Jerome Sydenham’s interpretation of rolling Techno thunder. Energy, big kicks, fat bass lines and infectious piano chords. What you are left with, is pure hands-in-the-air Apotek Techno. Prime time business!
“Tonto” is a deep Techno track with an immense groove accompanied by futuristic EFX, rhythms, and chords that forcefully exhibit Jerome Sydenham’s consistency and forward thinking yet again. This deeply satisfying modern remedy represents in appropriate doses the meaning of Deep Tech Syndrome for the psyche and the floor.
“Museum of Modern” is a tough and funky and minimal Tech- House track. This edgy experience is filled with surprises. The groove gives way to an epic rise that collapses into an unforgettable breakdown. With no empty spaces Jerome Sydenham pushes the envelope to pump out this cross genre gem.

The blacktro dub of this Techno centrepiece is a pure source of energy that draws on sophisticated minimal overtones. With a firm appeal for Techno and Tech-House fans alike. Another fresh modern approach by Jerome Sydenham.

APT006
Format: Vinyl 12" A: "GSXR 810 (Adam Beyer Remix)"
By Jerome Sydenham and Nagano Kitchen B: "GSXR 810 (Ken Ishii Remix)"
By Jerome Sydenham and Nagano Kitchen
Apotek Records serves up the “GSXR 810” Remixes featuring Techno icons Adam Beyer and Ken Ishii.
This track originally produced by Jerome Sydenham for his Nagano Kitchen project has now been subject to tremendous reworks by 2 legendary Techno icons.
Adam Beyer’s body of work needs no introduction. He applies his excellence to “GSXR 810” with searing Techno beats tweaked with an barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. The results are nothing less than groundbreaking.
Ken Ishii, the overlord of the Japanese Techno scene, makes a rare appearance on a European label. On this journey he takes us into the bowels of deep Techno. Big kicks and deep melodic stabs also gives this remix a Tech-House appeal which rounds off a stunning 12 Inch and makes for a great overall package.
