the apples
Funk Jazz Scratch live bandBand/artist history
The group began in the year 2002 with the core of electronic artists Schoolmaster & Mixmonster and the steadfast rhythm unit of Shai Ran and Yoni Halevy. The idea was to lay down a funk foundation laced with live samples and organic effects, with a jazz-based front line of improvising horns. The original sessions and concerts were non-stop sets of spontaneous, fresh compositions. Over the following two years of constant performing in small clubs as well as outdoor festivals and dancehalls, songs were established. The first album- "MITZ" (juice in Hebrew) is a compilation of these creations, captured on a single recording session in one small room. It has gone on to sell out its first three editions and to create a stir on the music scene, inspiring similar groups to pick up on the organic/electro audio vibe. The follow up- "ATTENTION!" (released October 2005)- finds the group delving deeper into old school funk, soul jazz, aggressive horn lines, wider turntable usage and middle-eastern beats. The Apples' music enjoys airtime on various radio stations and is featured on music television programs and commercials. The tunes are constantly growing and never sound the same way twice, for the ensemble is forever changing up the format, responding to each other and to the audience's energy. These guys throw a great party. You are cordially invited.Have you performed in front of an audience?The Apples are alive. There is no denying the power these nine virtuosos have on a crowd as they jump around on stage, unifying huge horn lines with vinyl cutting and scratching and the funky beats that make it impossible to remain still.
