“Alphabet Loop” is the first single from dutch-canadian electronic music producer apaull’s second album, Homogeny. It includes a hypnotic techno Christian Smith remix. This 9 track LP, which will be released on 28 February 2025, was executive produced by Abe Duque and is on the furnace room records label.
“The track “Alphabet Loop” was conceived during an Amsterdam Dance Event, where I pulled together a full demo, including vocals, in my hotel room.” It is about the vagaries of (mis)-communication. The lyrics “I’ve got all the letters. Can’t find the words” can be construed in many ways, from the literal to the more abstract. Today I might re-write the vocals to “I’ve got all the letters. Not allowed to write the words”, so censorship-laden are the times.
Christian Smith is one of the world’s leading exponents of techno, both as a DJ and producer he is always bold and innovative. In 1995 he started his label Tronic, and since then it has dominated the charts with releases from Christian himself and the likes of ANNA, Enrico Sangiuliano, Paco Osuna and Drunken Kong. The label has been the top-selling techno label in the world according to Beatport and recently celebrated its 500th release. Christian has dominated the charts and DJ’s playlists with a steady flow of releases on many high-profile labels like Drumcode, Filth On Acid, Trick, Symbolism, Bedrock, and Tronic.
