Biography

Born and based in Ioannina, Greece, Apanemic is a beatmaker who makes sample based music using Akai MPC 2000XL, 2500 and analog gear. It all started when he began following hip hop since the late 90s. He, then, participated in various Greek hip hop projects since around 2001. Later on, he turned to low bap music up until 2008, when he realised his heart belongs to instrumentals. The Akai MPC 2000 XL was the main reason for this turn and still is what helps him make his music.

Apanemic’s music is based strictly on vinyl records: using samples from 50’s, 60’s and 70’s songs. He has released two EP’s to date: the self-released “Apanemia“ EP and the EP “A Thousand Secrets“ released with Melting Records. His projects truly resemble a crate digging exercise, since they focus on records that have spent decades being out of the radar. To achieve this, he has used samples exclusively derived from the original vinyl copies, 33 and 45 rpm. For example, for his second EP “A Thousand Secrets”, he utilised about 48 different vinyl records. Apanemic creates a mosaic of various sounds, reviving the music aesthetics in 50’s-60’s-70’s culture of Greece. Nostalgia clashing with fresh musical paths!
