Press Info:
Argentinian DJ/producer Flug returns to Radio Slaves’ Rekids Special Projects with ‘Move Around EP’ this November.

Following a previous outing on Rekids Special Projects with ‘Austral Frames’, as well as releases on Nina Kraviz’s Trip, UNCAGE, and Suara, the Existentia boss returns to Radio Slave’s techno-focussed imprint with four hard-hitting tracks across ‘Move Around EP’.

Lead track ‘Move Around’ bursts with character as energetic and crunchy drum work, booming low end, and tripped out vocal chops combine for a heavy-duty warehouse smasher. ‘Black Out’ sees the producer opt for a comparatively restrained approach, focussing on a handful of razor-sharp and deeply eﬀective elements for a rattling, groove led techno jam.

‘Alloy Steel’ conjures up textured atmospherics and dense FX as tumbling kicks, metallic stabs, and crisp hats punch through the mix, before ‘Sinergy’ winds the energy down with doses of hypnotic synthesis and syncopated kick patterns, bringing the release to a woozy close.

Press Info:
Legendary techno stalwart Mark Broom steps up to Rekids Special Projects this February with ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’.

Continuing to run his no-nonsense techno-focussed sub-label with aplomb, Radio Slave recruits legendary UK DJ/producer Mark Broom for a mammoth eight track release on Rekids Special Projects.

Across ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’, Broom turns in eight fast paced techno rockets, each averaging three minutes in length. Short but absolutely sweet, ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’ embodies the exact kind of climbing-the-walls energy found at his DJ sets across the world, bringing his broad range of influences and experience to a label constantly pushing exceptional techno.

Releasing on labels such as Rekids, M-Plant, and Blueprint, the wildly prolific Broom has consistently been at the forefront of the techno scene for decades with his gritty, groove-based output while, away from the dancefloor, his The Fear Ratio project with James Ruskin continues to win critical acclaim.

Chontane

Title:
Healing EP

Label:
Rekids

Release Date:
June 2020

vinyl, streaming & download

Tracklist:

Gora

Press Info:
German artist Chontane joins Rekids Special Projects with a twisted four-track release entitled ‘Healing EP’.

Over the last five years the Berlin-based DJ has played many of the capital’s best clubs, including Griessmuehle, ://about blank, Suicide Club, Arena Club, and OHM. However, the last two years have seen Chontane breakthrough as a producer having dropped his debut release on THEM Recordings, followed by a collaboration alongside WERK’s co-founder J. Manuel on the newly launched Magic Power imprint. He now joins Rekids Special Projects succeeding appearances from P.Leone, Shinedoe, Jon Hester, and label boss Radio Slave himself.

Opening the release, ‘Nam’ is built on an intricate rhythm and indistinguishable earworm vocal whilst a variety of tantalising elements ebb and flow from the mix. ‘Leto’ is then a dark and ominous number with an evil vox and delayed effects, before moving onto a percussive and synth-driven uplifting cut entitled ‘Exam’. Finally, ‘Gora’ concludes the release with its syncopated drums, purring bassline and soaring pads.

La Floria

Press Info:
Belgian artist Philippe Petit joins Radio Slave’s imprint with four analogue techno cuts on his Rekids debut.

The Chamonix based DJ and producer Philippe Petit is widely respected amongst the techno community for his plethora of rumbling releases such as ‘Venus’ on EarToGround and ‘Scrape’ on his own imprint Decision Making Theory as well as releasing on Involve and Figure SPC to name a few. With a wealth of experience playing at the likes of Tresor, Suicide Circus, La Graviere, Batofar, Weetamix, Corsica Studios, and Berghain, the sophisticated production he showcases was a natural fit for the Rekids’ Special Projects series.

‘Anger’ rolls in with force and bumping sub frequencies, rattling percussion and jarring keys, then ‘Crystal Clear’ keeps things murky with evolving pads, fleeting highs and rolling low-end. On the flip, ‘When We Meet’ jumps in with climbing stabs, tight hi-hats and galloping kicks, when finally, ‘La Floria’ cuts through with chopped highs, washing chords, snappy cymbals and dreamy harp-esque patterns.

Press Info:
From Another Mind founders Obscure Shape & SHDW return to Rekids with three massive techno tracks in ‘Der Sturm EP’ this October.

Marco Bläsi and Luigi Urban first appeared on Matt Edwards’ label two years ago with an unforgettable remix of Radio Slave’s ‘Vision’. Since then the pair have continued to helm their From Another Mind imprint, as well as returning to Rekids for their ‘Himmel Und Erde’ release, not to mention remix the seminal ‘Grindhouse’ alongside Slam. Joining the label again, the duo present three cavernous cuts highlighting why they’re considered such a key driving force behind Southern Germany’s techno scene.

Featuring their signature echoing kicks, ‘Der Sturm’ includes syncopated snares, scintillating pads and piercing stabs to forge a peaktime cut. ‘Zeit Des Erwachens’ is more of a roller with its undulating percussion and quivering bassline, leading into the effervescent ‘Tränen Der Sonne’ with its twisted arpeggios and rattling hats.
