  Introduction by Piccadilly records:
  “Bit​ ​ of​ ​ a ​ ​ special​ ​ one​ ​ this​ ​ folks.​ ​ Local​ ​ provocateur,​ ​ dance​ ​ music​ ​ Casanova​ ​ and​ ​ the​ ​ freshest​ ​ smelling​ ​ South African​ ​ in​ ​ Manchester,​ ​ the​ ​ man​ ​ the​ ​ myth​ ​ the​ ​ stone​ ​ cold​ ​ L E G that​ ​ is​ ​ Levi​ ​ Love​ ​ kick​ ​ starts​ ​ his​ ​ new​ ​ label​ ​ with a​ ​ record​ ​ by​ ​ three​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ city's​ ​ most​ ​ celebrated​ ​ rising​ ​ talents.​ ​ One​ ​ sees​ ​ star​ ​ Levelz​ ​ and​ ​ Wet​ ​ Play​ ​ producer Metrodome​ ​ joined​ ​ by​ ​ fellow​ ​ mancs​ ​ Alex​ ​ Morgan​ ​ and​ ​ (MC)​ ​ Sparkz​ ​ for​ ​ a ​ ​ global-unifying,​ ​ upfront​ ​ dance​ ​ track that​ ​ joins​ ​ the​ ​ dots​ ​ between​ ​ kwaito,​ ​ house​ ​ and​ ​ Manchester's​ ​ forward​ ​ thinking​ ​ techno​ ​ prowess.​ ​ "Applebush pt.​ ​ 1"​ ​ announces​ ​ the​ ​ project​ ​ with​ ​ a ​ ​ typically​ ​ fast-paced​ ​ and​ ​ wry​ ​ vocal​ ​ commentary​ ​ placed​ ​ over​ ​ a ​ ​ swaggering kwaito-funky​ ​ hybrid,​ ​ mixing​ ​ up​ ​ the​ ​ SA​ ​ rhythms​ ​ with​ ​ a ​ ​ UK​ ​ sound​ ​ palette​ ​ and​ ​ bass​ ​ sensibility.​ ​ Sparkz​ ​ sounds relaxed​ ​ and​ ​ on​ ​ form,​ ​ while​ ​ the​ ​ track's​ ​ production​ ​ gold​ ​ is​ ​ revealed​ ​ more​ ​ towards​ ​ the​ ​ end,​ ​ as​ ​ Metrodome​ ​ and Morgan​ ​ open​ ​ the​ ​ filter​ ​ up​ ​ on​ ​ this​ ​ rattling,​ ​ c64-esque​ ​ mystic​ ​ synth​ ​ refrain.​ ​ A ​ ​ glimpse​ ​ into​ ​ the​ ​ studio​ ​ trickery that​ ​ characterizes​ ​ these​ ​ unique​ ​ producers,​ ​ it​ ​ still​ ​ keeps​ ​ its​ ​ feet​ ​ proudly​ ​ on​ ​ the​ ​ dancefloors​ ​ of​ ​ MCR's​ ​ feverish underground.​ ​ On​ ​ the​ ​ flip​ ​ Sparkz​ ​ takes​ ​ a ​ ​ back​ ​ seat​ ​ as​ ​ the​ ​ Metrodome​ ​ and​ ​ Morgan​ ​ take​ ​ the​ ​ stage​ ​ to​ ​ display their​ ​ unfathomably​ ​ fresh​ ​ production​ ​ traits.​ ​ Reversed​ ​ concentric​ ​ vox​ ​ blending​ ​ nicely​ ​ into​ ​ skewed​ ​ and pumpin'​ ​ side​ ​ chained​ ​ 2-step​ ​ - ​ ​ house​ ​ fusion.​ ​ Rich​ ​ and​ ​ engrossing,​ ​ Ruud's​ ​ ADHD​ ​ production​ ​ ethos​ ​ keeping​ ​ us on​ ​ our​
  ​ toes​ ​ throughout​ ​ and​ ​ never​ ​ reveling​ ​ in​ ​ superfluous​ ​ repetition.​ ​ Seriously,​ ​ hot​ ​ shit​ ​ is​ ​this!​
  MVITA.​ ​ Don't sleep.”
