Press Info:
Steve Bicknell returns to his 6dimensions label, adopting his The Evader guise once again with a reissue release titled ‘Awakening The Past 2’.

Returning as The Evader for the second instalment of ‘Awakening The Past’, this will be Steve’s fourth appearance on 6dimensions and features four tracks from 1994’s ‘No Hats Required’ EP, which dropped on influential UK label, Cosmic Records – the tracks were originally made by Steve to be played together as a segment in various combinations. This release follows outings from 6dimensions artists Jing, Metro Skim and Heartless – continuing the label’s theme of illustrating the ‘human mind’s natural make-up’.

‘No Hats Required – Track 1’ displays a locked 4×4 groove, filled with tidy modulations bouncing gracefully off the kicks before ‘Track 6’ offers a fast-pitched looping beat with floating percussive jitters. ‘Track 2’ then features twisted stab sequences over a minimal drum loop before a rolling 808 beat joins oscillating bass flutters in ‘Track 3’.

On the flip, Bicknell presents two new tracks recorded in 2017. ‘Power Of Balance’ provides cross firing synth shrills layered and tough techno convolutions to generate a rising intensity, until ‘Shifting Illusion’ concludes the package with minimalist dubbed-out flavours whilst flush melodies harmonise with continuous pulsations.

Press Info:
Time To Express’ SP-X joins Rekids Special Projects with four punishing techno cuts this September.

Little is known about mysterious producer SP-X. After a string of quality releases on Komisch, Time To Express, and PROJEKTS, the Brussels-based artist has garnered a strong following for his rolling techno sound. The enigmatic producer now joins Matt Edwards’ Rekids Special Projects roster, following on from releases by DJ Spider, Jon Hester, DJ Deep, FBK and Dustin Zahn among others.

An amalgamation of metallic hits, powerful drums and plucky arpeggios commence the package in ‘Dystopian Lotus’ before the fast paced ‘Breaths Of Separation’ offers a rumbling low-end, frenzied atmospherics and cosmic chords.

‘The Orbiter’ delivers distorted top lines and a thundering kick on the flip, backed by mysterious sirens and resonant synth blips until the package rounds off with ‘Desire Of Invisibility’, a high-octane finish with sharp, organic percussion and a vacillating sub alongside stereo delayed stabs.

Press Info:
E-Missions co-founder P.Leone returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids this September with ‘The My Lita Project’ backed with remixes from Mark Broom.

Originally hailing from New York, P.Leone now resides in Berlin where he helms his E-Missions imprint with releases from himself and co-founder Caiazzo, exciting new artists like Rush Plus and Tred, not to mention remixes from Young Male, Spencer Parker and Lawrence Lee. Leone has also dropped a variety of releases on Rekids and Work Them Records, when not making regular appearances at clubs like Tresorand ://about blank. He now returns to Radio Slave’s respected imprint with ‘The My Lita Project’, following up his highly lauded ‘El Dorado’ EP that garnered support from Ben Sims, Jackmaster and Spencer Parker.

‘My Lita’ kicks things off with classic synths, piercing strings and choppy vocals slices whilst robust drums march forward. Meanwhile, ‘Tight In The Pocket’ is more dark and menacing in comparison with its syncopated percussion, echoing claps and ethereal atmospherics.

On the flip, Mark Broom drops two different remixes of ‘My Lita’; the first is a robust cut complete with disco elements like funky guitar licks and soulful voice, with the original’s stabs shining throughout, whilst the second remix takes a different route with its crunchy snares, moaning murmurs and fuzzy effects.

Press Info:
First Release for this new project called Zaehler.

Travelling across deep synth and powerful rythmic this EP Zaehler is searching for reality in a world of illusion.

Zaehler’s creative process fuses self-created synthesizers, field-recording technique and analogue photography. These perspectives provoke anomalies, create images and ask questions that can not be answered precisely. Bleak and subtle he dives to a place where absolute truth becomes blurred. Where patterns break and where the unknown inescapably awaits.
