Radio Slave feat Cagedbaby
Played by: Chris Coco, Juno Recommends Downtempo, Kenneth Bager // Musicfordreams, Warriors of the Dystotheque
Review: Radio Slave's streak of impressive singles on Rekids continues with the dreamy, Balearic-infused future hit: "Amnesia." A collaboration with Southern Fried Records legend, Cagedbaby, the track weaves an euphoric blend of cascading drum breaks and deeply alluring vocals with a nostalgic overload of searing synths and heart swelling pads. As synthesising some kind of Faithless, Robert Miles, DJ Koze and Groove Armada mega hit with that intangible feeling of bliss and euphoria - it's the melancholia here that's most overt. It's hard to imagine this not self-combusting dancers in closing sets at Ibiza this year.

Review: Some excellent all-star action here, as Amberoom (AKA Manuel Tur and Adrian Hoffman) join forces with scene stalwart Blakkat and LA artist Babygirl for a first joint single on Crosstown Rebels. In its' original form, 'Forces of Nature' is attractive and intoxicating in original measure, with soulful lead vocals riding bubbly synthesizer lines, undulating synth-bass and a stripped-back rhythm track. The headline remixes come from Radio Slave, who delivers two 'New Age of Love' reworks. The first is dreamy and loved-up, delivering a 21st century update on the funky breakbeat house sound of the early '90s, while the second is a hip-hop tempo take that's every bit as alluring. To complete the EP, Blakkat and Lucas Forta re-invent 'Forces of Nature' as a deep, Latin-tinged chunk of jazz-house hedonism.

Review: Following on from his evocative, at times rave-tinged material in 2020, Radio Slave returns underground for this heads-down EP. Similar in style and approach to the recent Floorplan material on Rekids, this four-tracker is punctuated by robust bass drums, spiralling chord sequences and militaristic percussion. "Variations V1", with its ticking hi-hats and doubled up claps, gets the EP off to a rousing start, while on the "V2", Matt Edwards takes the intensity down for a broken beat affair that has echoes of Fachwerk's catalogue. It's only a brief reprieve, however; "V3" is a storming affair, led by billowing chords and dense kicks, while the fourth and final version resounds to ominous synth stabs and niggling percussion.

Review: Berlin-based Brit Matt Edwards started Special Projects as a techno focused series in 2017. Since then, it has gone on to host scene heroes such as Shinedoe, P.Leone, Dustin Zahn and the SRVD project he does with Patrick Mason. Three years later, Edwards finally graces the label for its twentieth release under his most revered pseudonym - Radio Slave. Featuring two club oriented workouts that are reliably heavy and functional: the first being the hypnotic 'plink plonk' of "Command Z" which is reminiscent of classic Purpose Maker aesthetics, followed by some serious tension and suspense on the M-Plant tribute that is "Command X" - packed full of bleepiness and claps on the kick galore.

Review: The incendiary partnership that is Patrick Mason and Rekids boss Matt Edwards' SRVD project returns to the label for this tough two-tracker. On the title track, the pair lay down pummelling tribal drums, dense thunder claps and a searing, hardcore bass. These elements provide the basis for a vocal narrative about wearing black - presumably a reflection of the sartorial choices of the audiences that they play to. "USB" also takes influence from 90s sources, but on this occasion, the pair keep the vocals to a minimum, fusing time-stretched shrieks with pounding kicks and coruscating rave riffs that burn their way through the arrangement.

Review: Radio Slave's 2014 release gets the remix treatment from some of the biggest names in house and techno. First up is Robert Hood's version, where the Detroit veteran takes the original track's vocal loop and sets it against firing percussion and a barrelling techno rhythm. It builds up to a heady climax courtesy of some churning chords. Meanwhile, the Tale of Us interpretation focuses on letting the vocal unravel over a juddering kick, wiry percussion and dramatic chords - while the formidable pairing of Roman Poncet and DJ Deep head down a similar route, albeit one inhabited by garbled synth hooks and crisp claps.

Review: Originally issued on Boddika's label back in 2014, "Don't Stop..." has remained fresh despite the passage of five years. This is largely down to its straightforward but effective arrangement and Radio Slave's subtle, powerful production. Drawing on a looped, hypnotic vocal sample, ticking percussion and understated kicks, it's a timeless piece of stripped back techno. "War Dub (Version 2)" also taken from the Nonplus record, follows a similar path, embarking down a path paved with subtle bleeps, steely percussion and intricate drums, while the Nightmare Mix of "Sleep" sees Matt Edwards embark on an even more reduced approach, guided by eerie tones.

Review: Originally released to mark Rekids' one hundredth release, Radio Slave's "Another Club" now gets remixed. The label has tapped the fast-rising Charlotte De Witte to interpret the track, and the Belgian DJ doesn't disappoint. Underpinned by tough tribal beats and insistent acid sequences, it draws on the heritage of 90s European techno, but with a modern day feel thanks to the razor sharp percussion and flawless execution. Matt Edwards also delivers a version of the track, together with Patrick Mason under the SRVD alias. Focusing their attention on a dark siren riff and chopping up the original track's vocal sample, they deliver a pounding, rave techno bomb that's sure to cause mayhem wherever it's dropped.

Review: "Talking 2 B Mad" is the third collaboration on Rekids between label owner Matt Edwards and upcoming producer Patrick Mason under the SRVD alias. Like the previous Eps under this name, it shows that the pair have perfected a hard-hitting techno sound. The title track cruises along in excess of 130bpm, its pummelling drums breaking down into frazzled trance riffs that have echoes of Thomas Heckmann. "Twitch" isn't quite as frenetic, but once again, it sees them dive headlong into a driving percussive sound. Powered by pounding kicks and littered with dissected vocal samples, these elements make for the most eloquent big-room techno that you'll hear this year.

Review: The first Radio Slave material of 2019 also marks the start of a new chapter for Rekids, as it kick starts the Stranger In The Night sub-label. A vehicle designed solely for releases by label owner Radio Slave, Fred P, Anthony Rother and King Britt, it gets off to a great start with "Ground Control". Unlike much of Edwards' work, this is a dramatic, musical affair with dramatic synth stabs and tonal builds underpinned by a grungy bass and a loose, stepping groove. It comes across like Radio Slave's take on Underground Resistance. "Last Communication" is also atypical of the Radio Slave sound, with widescreen synths and woodwind unraveling over a stop-start groove.

Review: Rekids boss Matt Edwards hooks up with emerging producer Patrick Mason for another outing as SRVD. "The Yard Man" is a banging affair, with a discordant riff at its centre, while deranged vocal samples and wild chants serve to add to the track's individualistic - and effective - appeal. "Brotha" is a less upfront affair, but once again the pair draw on reggae/dub influences, as a swirling, spacey filter underpins soulful vocals over a chugging dub techno groove. It's a laid-back counterpoint to "The Yard Man" and sets out this project as one of the most innovative in modern electronic music.

Review: This an altogether epic offering from Deetron; a vast collection of un-mixed tracks from his brilliant DJ Kicks mix (naturally included as a bonus cut) that is little less than a lesson in the evolution of techno over the last three decades. Amongst the 38 tracks you'll find fine representatives of a myriad of sub-genres (intelligent techno, dub techno, IDM, ambient techno, gospel techno, and so on), as well as past, present and future classics (Damier and Trent's "Morning Factory", Spacetime Continuum's "Swing Factory", Mark Ernestus's recent Equinoxx remix, the Motor City bliss of Rhythim is Rhythim AKA Derrick May's "Ka-o-tic Harmony", a brilliant old Black Dog Productions workout). In other words, it's a breathlessly brilliant collection of both well-known and obscure gems. It comes heartily recommended.

Radio Slave feat Danton Eeprom
Played by: Ellen Allien
Review: Following on from last year's remixes from Len Faki of Matt Edwards' 2008 Grindhouse come two new versions. First up are veterans Slam, who turn the track into a bleak-sounding but funky workout, the dense drums underpinning menacing bass tones, eerie vocal undercurrents and the sound of riotous war horns. The Scottish duo is always a hard act to follow, but on this occasion, Obscure Shape & SHDW acquit themselves admirably. For their remix, the German production pair up the tempo, lay down steely, urgent drums and a juggernaut rhythm that is sure to see "Grindhouse" careering into a techno club near you shortly.

Radio Slave feat Danton Eeprom
Review: It's been ten years since Matt Edwards unleashed Grindhouse on an unsuspecting techno public. To mark the occasion, he has recruited Len Faki to rework it. Faki's remixes are the latest in a long line of fine reshapes of this modern-day classic - following in the wake of versions from Dubfire, Terence Fixmer and Nic Fanciulli - and he acquits himself admirably. The Berghain resident's first 'Hardspace' version sees him drop punchy drums and relentless, rattling percussion as an accompaniment to Danton Eeprom's slurred vocals and the track's eerie synths. A brooding foghorn pierces the arrangement on the second 'Hardspace' version. This time, the drums are tougher and more dense and the same eerie synth line is audible in the background.

Review: Matt Edwards marked the 100th release in Rekids earlier this year with a release that featured "Feel the Same", and now he is putting out the debut Radio Slave album using the same title. It's a real mixed bag; "2nd Home" starts with gentle ambience and the dreamy breaks of "Forana", before the UK producer changes pace and drops the album version of the title track in all its vocal-heavy, driving glory. If its insistent riffs get too much, then there is the low-slung bass-heavy groove of "Trans" and the dubbed out abstractions of "Draw" to keep his audience guessing. Rekids may now be a house music institution, but as "Feel the Same" shows, it doesn't slide into predictability.

Review: Originally released earlier this year, Rekids now taps Floorplan for two brilliant remixes. ironically, it's Robert Hood's side project that has seen him receive the most recognition in recent years, and it's not hard to understand how this happened. The first Floorplan version of "Feel the Same" sees the Detroit producer deliver a jacking, grinding rhythm track, which underpins a lo-if riff and a female vocal intoning 'get back feel the same' on a loop. The second version is heavier and more suited to techno dance floors, as brooding chords swoop in over doubled up claps and the vocal is truncated to simply intone the track's title.

Review: Gerd Janson's label pulls together a heavyweight cast to rework "Children...", originally released on Running Back in 2015. While the original track drew on break beats and hardcore for inspiration, Kink's 'SP1200' version follows this approach to its logical, unwavering conclusion. Massive rave stabs gyrate their way over rolling hardcore breaks, navigating a path that is equal parts menace and euphoria. Janson's own edit of the Kink and Rachel remix is more understated and bubbly, with warbling electronic hooks bubbling up amid the lithe breaks. Finally, Justin Van Der Volgen turns in a deep, hazy house interpretation, with the US producer mapping out a sound populated by clicky percussion and hazy textures.

Review: Matt Edwards once said that he works best when using just a few elements, and he applies that thought process to Vision with devastating effects. The title track revolves around a tight, fat drum loop, chilling synths and filtered, nagging percussion. Completing Edwards' 'less is more' sound is a pitch-bent vocal that pops in and out of the arrangement with a druggy awkwardness. It sounds like remixer Marcel Dettmann is in favour of a similar technique. The MDR boss leaves space for the vocal and eerie synth line, but sets it against a groove so murky that it's hard not to get lost in its swampy depths.

Review: Matt Edwards is one of the modern masters of the hypnotic groove, but this remix package sees some of his peers provide fine interpretations of Clone Wars. First up is German dub techno producer Markus Suckut, who turns the track into a stripped back, metallic rhythm with insistent bleeps and blips underpinning a pitched down vocal. Chicago don Parris Mitchell turns the original into a churning, chord-heavy affair that seeps through the speakers like an oil slick, while DJ Spider takes a radically different approach. Stripping the track right back, his fusion of eerie back-beats and system-leveling bass belches is disturbingly hypnotic.

Review: Spencer Parker's Work Them Records returns to the Werk single from Radio Slave the label issued last year, inviting a stellar cast of contemporaries to rewerk the title track. First up is an 11 minute version from White Material co-founder DJ Richard, who once again demonstrates his talent for bringing new levels of depths and emotion to the humble DJ tool, teasing out a certain cosmic flight from Radio Slave's original with the results quite trippy indeed. Dan Beaumont comes through with a thick set wall shaker with some finely programmed kick drums whilst local Berlin talent Sven von Thulen also shines with a bleed laden lo fi burner take.
