In its original incarnation, Apollo Records served as an ambient sub-label to R&S Records, which was more focused on putting out mind altering techno. The Apollo stable included such luminaries as Aphex Twin, Locust, Thomas Fehlmann, Cabaret Voltaire and Biosphere among many others, and was at its most prolific during the late 90s. Apollo Records is run by R&S label founder Renaat Vandepapeliere from the imprint’s spiritual home in Ghent, Belgium. His aim is to release music that he personally loves and is very much a separate outlet to R&S Records. Since Apollo’s relaunch in 2012 Renaat has released records from Indigo, Synkro, Jack Dixon, Andy Cato, Submerse, Gacha, Makoto, Model 500, Shadow Child and more.

What this transpires to is a hidden archive of alternative takes and warm ups, about as far from a laborious mouse click exercise in front of a DAW as you can get.
