Ape Music was established in 2006, by Ben & Lex, from the ashes of the successful south west club night of the same name. After nearly ten years as residents at 'Beatz & Bobz' (one of the country's longest running breaks nights) and at 'Ape' and having had many releases on other labels such as Functional, Silo, Drum & Breaks and Wut Eva to name a few. Ben & Lex are no strangers to what makes a good tune so they decided it was time for them to get out there and start their own label.

Just like their Dj sets, as anyone who has been lucky enough to see them play knows, Ape Music will not be confined to one style of breaks (or even genres) but will encompass everything from funky to techy to tearout and out the other side!

The only criteria is the quality. And as they put it. "Well, I'd play it!"

We Are Back

After a short hiatus, Ben and Lex's APE Label roars back into the forefront of the Break beat scene with a pounding  Triple A-side release from the head honcho's themselves.

Meat House does exactly what it says on the tin. its meaty and its house... the biggest kick drum alive being beaten by the heavy ass wobble bass for 7 mins of heads down chugging action.

Space Docking is a rollin' dance floor monster with a massive synth riff, classic chopped up breaks and a whole lotta bounce for the ounce. Big with Rennie Pilgrem

Wet Sack is a huge whomping bass beast with stupid fat beats, lil rave vocal stabs which deliver on every level

With fresh new material and remix packages from Ben and Lex, Mobius and Afghan Headspin, APE is back for some more mental monkey business...
