Since inception, Draft has been releasing quality material from the likes of Frank Leicher, Emiliano Ferreyra, Chad Andrew, label owner, Roberto Apodaca, among many more.

The first vinyl release on Draft comes courtesy of ZĂŒrich based artist, Vanita, and she delivers two sides covering the dark, groovy, and hypnotic realms of minimal. Sticking true with the ethos and vibe of Draft, Vanita’s original tracks and the respective remixes are a nice addition to the labels catalog.

The A-side on Mr. Crawly is divided between the title track Crawly with a respective remix from Chris Lattner. The Original Mix builds it’s ambiance through a pulsating frequency that certifiably engulfs the room with bass, whereas Lattner takes things in a slower direction with the spoken word of “Destroying Disco” drifting throughout the mix.

The B-Side is made up of the original track, Dream, with Cesare vs Disorder contributing his interpretation that has been resonating with the dance floors quite nicely since the initial release.

The Mr. Crawly EP vinyl is currently available on Juno, deejay.de, and decks.de, with the digital release forthcoming on August 17th. Listen to the previews below on Soundcloud, and make sure to follow Vanita and Draft for more music.

Global Vibe Radio + Q&A with Roberto Apodaca

/in , , , , , , /by

At the tender age of 21, Roberto Apodaca from El Paso, Texas started Draft Records. That was four years ago, and since then Draft Records has become a prominent record label honing in on the underground sounds of minimal and tech house. With Apodaca at the helm, Draft Records has released EP’s from rising minimal artists such as David Gtronic, Emiliano Ferreyra, Neverdogs, Martinez, and countless others, while acting as a major influence for the underground scene in El Paso.

Starting a record label is one thing, but maintaining the brand and musical vision takes things to a new level. Roberto Apodaca has stayed locked in on his vision for underground dance music, and continues to strive for excellence both in his music and record label.

Roberto has put together a recent mix for our Global Vibe Radio Series, and has taken the time to answer some questions regarding the music scene in Texas, his vision with Draft Records, and tells us about his first time going to Space to see Loco Dice.

Enjoy the mix and Q&A, and make sure to stay up to date with Roberto and Draft Records.
