16 Years Of Ape-X 🦍

Time flies when you're dancing. This is just a small selection of artists we've hosted during our tenure in Newcastle clubbing and as many as we could fit in a 10 image insta carousel for today. Plenty of amazing memories.

Here's to kicking off 2024 next Saturday!

01/02/2024

Our in-house Designer, Anya - Girl Face Design - is exhibiting photography and design at The Big Beat Manifesto's artist "Appreciation for the Northeast" at Newcastle Contemporary Gallery.

She is showing various photographs from inside the Newcastle clubbing scene and some of the city's less celebrated but arguably more powerful buildings; this is in contrast with some of the more cliched, more obvious imagery of the city's backdrop that you see connected with the North-East.

These images were created for the latest series of Ape-X designs, celebrating 16 years. Mutating and glitching these raw images, showing the brutal reality of an underinvested Newcastle, interwoven with vibrance and full colour of the people and its nightlife. People who often find salvation in the dark corners of our underground music scene. A scene and city that often triumphs in the face of multiple challenges, including poverty, underinvestment and decline.

29/01/2024
