Antagonist - The Album That Made Me Lose All My Friends

Over the last 3 years we shot all our adventures, the ups and downs of this impossible album ‘Antagonist’. Some already had the pleasure of watching it in cinemas in LA, Brussels, Montreal and Prague but it’s finally out! Enjoy and don't take it too seriously.

2024 motto

[@sanaez]

Джон, твоя музыка доводит меня до слёз, (English translation will be below) не просто слёз, а слёз восторга. Это великолепие, смешение стилей, классической музыки, электронной и Хип-Хопа. Это невероятное сочетание, которое разносит мозг на сотни и тысячи фрагментов и соберает его во едино меньше чем за доли секунд. Твоя музыка вдохновляет и в моей депрессии она заставляет себя чувствовать, чувствовать эмоции и быть живым. Не знаю почему это решил написать, скорее всего ты жаже не прочитаешь это. Но хотел тебя поблагодарить за твою колосальную работу и музыку. John, your music brings me to tears, not just tears, but tears of delight. This is a magnificence, a mixture of styles, classical music, electronic and Hip-Hop. This is an incredible combination that scatters the brain into hundreds and thousands of fragments and puts it back together in less than a fraction of a second. Your music is inspiring and in my depression it makes me feel, feel emotions and be alive. I don’t know why I decided to write this, most likely you won’t read it anymore. But I wanted to thank you for your tremendous work and music I hope the translation from Google conveyed the meaning and emotions that I experienced thanks to your music

The 22 minutes are totally worth it to see the great work that is always behind each melody of yours Apashe, I liked to see how you delve into each song in a masterful way so that So go out to the public and feel that same sensation that you feel when listening to your songs, thank you for being in this music industry because the truth is, every time in our lives We need new experiences so that we have them in our memories until the end of time. You are the best never forget it, you are the Majesty and the squad is proud of you so what are you achieving. 🏴🖤🔥

18:22 you feel as if you were about to enter heaven, just by listening to that beautiful chorus, for you Apashe loved and will love choruses in music since it made me feel very good about myself Time to listen to these solos in music, thank you for existing, your songs are a great inspiration for everyone. Someday I would like to have the opportunity to meet you in person.🖤🖤🖤

I've been a huge fan for years. I was the chatter who sent Hasan the link to watch your mini doc on stream a while back. I was at your Eugene Antagonist show as well. Love the vibes, love the humor. Keep up the hard work!

[@ApasheOfficial]

Thanks for being so loyal! Also I’m glad you sent it to Hasan, I’m a big fan and it’s still a flex to see him liking my videos sometimes :) I owe you that!

Apashe, je suis tes œuvres depuis bien longtemps maintenant, et les émotions que tu transmets à travers ces dernières sont incroyables. Absolument tous les amis et proches à qui j'ai pu conseiller ce que tu fais, ont été unanimes à ton sujet. Tu es un véritable vent de fraicheur pour la musique, et ça fait vraiment plaisir de voir que tu n'es pas prêt d'arrêter. Tu fais partie des très rares artistes dont j'achète les sons, et je n'en suis jamais déçu. Alors du fond du cœur, merci à toutes celles et ceux qui travaillent avec toi et qui te soutiennent, mais surtout merci à toi pour ce boulot titanesque et pour ce que tu nous apportes. Garde cette passion et cette ténacité, continues de nous faire vibrer, et prends soin de toi ! Encore un grand MERCI!

[@seatleon57220]

Mais il est juste exceptionnel ce reportage !! C'est ultra kiffant de découvrir l'orchestre brut de décoffrage. D'ailleurs je serai d'avis d'en sortir un album pure classique afin de kiffer Apashe en mode daron posé et ultra sérieux puis enchaîner sur la version Antagonist dont je ne me lasse pas d'écouter !!! Merci Apashe pour ce kiffe et ces sons de dingue que tu produits !
