Rekids
Review: Monty Luke's Nightdubbing project on Rekids was designed to showcase the Black Catalogue boss's deep love of dub-infused house and techno. This 13-track album combines previously unheard cuts with nine tracks previously showcased across a pair of EPs of the same name. It's a fantastic set all told, with highlights including the smacked-out electro-dub headiness of opener '40 Acres and a Terrabyte', the extra-percussive deep dub-house hypnotism of 'Bob Molly', the after-hours friendly minimalism of 'Star Storms', the Detroit-goes-dub techno pulse of 'New World/Old Future', the classic dub techno warmth of 'Dark Paradise', and the dub-wise deep house dreaminess of 'Avantgarde Dancehall'. Throw in a handful of tidy ambient and digital dub tracks, and you have a genuinely superb long-player.

Review: In the early 00s, Roman Flugel put out four minimal techno records under the Tracks On Delivery banner. Now, twenty years on, he revives the series with this storming four-tracker. "Yes People" gets the release off to a firing start, with skipping drums supporting noisy percussion and a lone, insistent bleep. It achieves Flugel's goal of being 'reduced to the max', but equally, it doesn't deter from the quirky sensibility that defines the series. "Play Simple" is also based on these principles, as a stuttering vocal sample is combined with atonal sounds over a jittery rhythm. Flugel was not the first European producer to flirt with minimalism, but as the driving "Jam" demonstrates, his Tracks On Delivery series shows that he continues to stamp his mark on the form.

Review: Stay Out All Night is Radio Slave's 2020 musical paean to the pleasures of raving back in the day, so who better to rework it than Carl Cox. In a rare remix outing, the dance music veteran stays close to the original, but adds in hypnotic horn stabs, repetitive vocal samples and rolling break beats. Interspersed with vinyl spin-backs, Cox's version is sure to have cross-generational appeal, including the ravers who grew up with his DJ sets, right through to those who have just been introduced to him thanks to this remix. There's also a fine, rolling drum'n'bass reshape included from Metalheadz legend Commix.

Review: Following on from Eps for Unknown to the Unknown and Spandau20, Niklas 'NIKK' Liepe debuts on Rekids. Paradize is a heady affair; the title track is powered by hammering tribal kicks but also features sun-kissed synth melodies that call to mind the halcyon days of rave and the euphoric rush from that period. "Mylove" is led by a throbbing bass and high-pitched vocal samples, while on "Flakes" Liepe's penchant for drawing on old school influences is audible again, with the German producer fusing hardcore stabs with evocative vocal samples. In keeping with this approach, closing track "Give A Funk" also uses vocal snippets from the 90s; combined with a relentless organ riff and raw kicks, it makes for another wide-eyed track.

Review: This is Confidential Recipe's third release on Rekids, and it sees him draw on classic house, techno and rave influences. "Dance" is redolent of Bobby Konders' vision for house, as a dark organ is combined with insistent stabs and a looped vocal sample. It's the kind of track that is tailor made for small, sweaty basements. On "Come (dub)", the Colombian producer ups the tempo; layering chiming chords over a driving steely rhythm, while he teams up with Manao for the original version of the track. Led by crashing break beats and featuring hoover stabs, it's a celebratory if somewhat nostalgic affair.

Review: Dustin Zahn follows his recent Feed the Fire release on Rekids with his second artist album. As befits a producer who has been making techno for close to two decades, this is a diverse, expertly weighted work. Both "Tell Me About Paradise" and "Lucid Dreams" are insistent, firing grooves that resound to steely percussion, and blasts of Midwest synths. Meanwhile "Tangie Groove" is a looped house track and "Smoking In Silence" sees Zahn go farther down this route, as vocal samples are melded with insistent stabs. "Days Like These" draws on Detroit techno influences with Zahn deploying spaced out pads over rickety drums, while in sharp contrast, "Shark Rodeo" is a slamming peak-time affair, led by wave upon wave of filters.

Review: Dustin Zahn is releasing an artist album on Rekids, and ahead of that event, he drops this incendiary EP. The title track is a driving slice of analogue techno whose roots lie in the 90s Midwest sound. While "Heresy" also centres on a raw rhythm, on this occasion the style is less intense, with Zahn dropping a series of hypnotic bleeps over rough kicks. The US producer returns to a more intense approach for "Profane Purposes"; there, insistent acid blips and repetitive vocal snatches unfold over a jarring backing track. In contrast, "Golden Hour" is deeper and more mysterious, with a tapestry of eerie synths bringing the release to an esoteric finale.

Review: Following on from a series of releases on Prah, Raven Bush delivers a distinctive release for Rekids. The producer's multi-instrumentalist approach comes to the fore throughout this release. On "Nobody", this manifests itself through a combination of a driving rhythm, dubbed out drums and plaintive vocals. Meanwhile, "Cold Sweat" sees Raven opt for a darker approach, with siren riffs cutting through a pulsating, acid-soaked groove and a series of detached vocal samples. Changing direction, the Comedown version of "Cold Sweat" deploys rolling break beats and brings acid pulses to the fore, while the Sudden Urges remix of "Nobody" also uses robust breaks as the basis to turn Raven's original into an ethereal version.

Review: Mark Broom draws on his own rich back catalogue for the opening tracks on Fast Funfzig: with their rumbling bass tones, swirling synths and hypnotic tribal drums, both "Fingers" and "Slow" draw on the raw techno soul that pervaded his 1996 debut album, Angie Is A Shoplifter. Meanwhile, "Wild Style" sees him embark on a different route; led by a spiky electro rhythm and an ominous bass, the veteran techno producer weaves vocal snippets into the woozy arrangement. On the final track "Facteur" Broom goes deeper, with hollowed out drums providing the backdrop for a tapestry of dreamy melodies that flow and ebb elegantly.

Review: The title of Hybrasil's latest release is named after the mythological race that were said to inhabit Ireland in pre-Celtic times - and there are references throughout this EP to the supernatural. The title track is a grinding, peak-time affair that features dissected vocal samples amid its pounding rhythm, while on "Hill of Tara", Hybrasil teams up with singer Sarah McQuillan to deliver a lean club track that features her ghostly, spellbinding wails. "Portal Dolmen" and "Megalith" meanwhile see the Irish producer focus on the physical rather than the ethereal, with churning chords unfolding over driving rhythms, while "Bealtaine", the Irish for May, is a deeper, dubbed out techno track.

Review: A Sagittariun is best known for his psychedelic take on techno for labels like Craigie Knowes and his own Elastic Dreams imprint, but on this debut for Rekids, he changes tact. Opening track "Inner Frontier" sees him drop a dense, rolling groove, with only the arrangement's airy melodies hinting at the UK producer's signature approach. Meanwhile, on "Annihilating Rhythm", he ups the ante to deliver a metal-plated rhythm that resounds to spaced out filters and gritty analogue sequences. Meanwhile on "Timewave", he drops a stripped back, angular drum track that provides the basis for haunting keys and frazzled acid lines.

Review: Following releases on Feel My Bicep and Unknown To The Unknown, Cromby surfaces on Rekids with this fine four-tracker. "IXP-42" is a fine old school techno track, moving from subtle bleeps into a rolling snare-led analogue rhythm that takes influences from 90s labels like Djax. "Follow the Bass" is more frenetic, with Cromby laying down a snaking groove and layer upon layer of frenetic percussion. On "Relief", it sounds like the emerging producer is taking inspiration from the label of the same name to drop a primal, jacking track featuring a flirtatious vocal, while on "Vortex", he opts for a slightly more measured approach, but still deploys stomping drums and raw analogue stabs to devastating effect.

Review: Having kept 2020 clear for the release of a debut album on REKIDS - Converge Part 1 - Jon Hester states his territory on the label in 2021 with its counterpart - Converge Part 2! The Chicago-born, Berlin-based transplant has had a good run in recent years following a succession of releases with the likes of Deeply Rooted, Transmat and Dystopian, with this LP adding another gold star to the techno producer's vintage yet futuristic sound. Heavily modelled on faster Detroit-styled techno with a touch of Chicago soul (best heard through the LP's melodies and synthwork in tracks like "Instant", "Contact" and "Wonder"), get your dubbier and percussive sessions from "Silver" to the broken beat drums in "Shadows" and minimal warehouse vibes of "Artificial Intelligence". Jon Hester is: Converged.

Review: Alan Fitzpatrick is a busy man, and Immortal Daydream follows a flurry of releases on Drumcode, Hotflush and most recently, Rekids itself. This four-tracker sees the UK producer do what he's best at and delivers impactful club techno. "Everlasting" is shot through with dramatic stabs and underpinned by steely thunder claps, making for a powerful dance floor track. "Titan" also sees Fitzpatrick deploy musical elements - on this occasion it's a repetitive organ riff over a combination of relentless kicks and driving hi-hats - while "Droid Disco" marks a departure in style, with Fitzpatrick going deeper to deliver a seductive cacophony of tonal frequencies over a dubbed out groove."The Underdog" presents a further surprise, as the We Are The Brave boss deploys rich chords and crashing snares to deliver his own take on Detroit techno.

Review: The latest instalment on Rekids is a barnstorming affair from UK act KUSP. "Circulus" is a peak-time banger, centred on a jacking ghetto techno rhythm and the kind of wild analogue builds that Luke Slater deployed on his evergreen remix of Joey Beltram's "Forklift". "Fictus" is just as forceful, with KUSP dropping razor-sharp hi-hats and wild rave stabs over pounding kicks. The title track sees the intensity taken down a few notches; led by a series of thunderclaps and dramatic drops and builds, it's as effective as the previous tracks. "Troubadour" sees KUSP keep the pressure up, with a dubbed out backing providing the basis for chopped-up vocal samples.

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: Following releases from Hemka, P.Leone, Shinedoe and SRVD, Rekids' sister imprint returns with more of its 'grittier, fully techno focused remit.' This instalment in the Reduction series belongs to Brazilian producer Marcal, featuring five powerful cuts in the vein of his contribution to the series' last volume. Hard hitting and hypnotic minimal techno in the vein of Robert Hood can be heard on "Sentinel" and "Rolling Sway" respectively, equally mesmerising is the heads down, peak time energy of "Jackie" and finally Marcal teams up with homeboy Alex Justino on the drum-driven percolator jack of "This Body" making for another great DJ tool.

Review: Continuing in a proud tradition that stretches back two decades and includes artists like Anderson Noise and Renato Cohen, Marcal delivers a killer Brazilian techno EP for Rekids. Reduction Pt 1 follows his releases on Phobiq and Sam Paganini's JAM, and shows why this emerging artist is gaining recognition: "'Ainozama" is a fast-paced tribal roller laced with rave stabs, while on "Cherry On Top", he goes down a deeper route, with filtered chords and ticking percussion unfolding over a lithe rhythm. "Heart Race" sees him head down the kind of dense, bleeps route that Sleeparchive and Mike Parker usually inhabit, while on "Estado de Transe", a collaboration with Andc and Gabal, Marcal effortlessly straddles the tribal and minimal dimensions with considerable aplomb.

Review: Jon Hester follows last year's Momentum release on Rekids with this impressive debut album. It starts with the dramatic ambience of "Sending Signals", but quickly moves towards the dance floor with the piano key-led "Metropolitan". Continuing this musical, clubby approach is the equaling sax and snaking groove of "Haze" and the deeper, shuffling "Rain", which resounds to the sound of thunder rolling in. Hester is a talented, crafty producer and while Converge Part I is predominantly dance floor-focused, there is enough diversity on offer here to keep even the fussiest fan happy - as the rolling, "Dreamstate" and the dubbed out "Free' both effortlessly demonstrate.

Review: Hybrasil follows last year's Afra EP on Matt Edwards label with this dance floor-focused four-tracker. The title track is a tough percussive workout that features rough industrial tones and a series of smart breakdowns. On "Hour Glass," Hybrasil changes tact somewhat, with droning synths underpinned by steely percussion and a driving rhythm, and all of these elements make for a mesmerising combination. "Ikigai" is just as impactful, but sees Hybrasil favour a more stripped-down sound, with bells ringing and chords churning against a metallic backdrop. Leaving the deepest cut to last, "System H" features hypnotic chords that surge and dip over doubled-up claps.

Review: Matt Edwards departs from the script for his latest Radio Slave material. Taking influence from old school hardcore and a cut and paste production approach, on "Stay Out.." he delivers twitchy, good-time break beats that are full of hip-hop and soulful vocal samples. It's quite a departure for the creator of linear techno tracks like "Grindhouse" and "Another Club". On "Wait A Minute", Edwards returns to the techno realm; while still containing a repetitive vocal sample that intones the track's title, the rattling percussion, tough kicks and driving rhythm all come together to form a deadly effective big room techno track.

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: Since breaking through in 2016 with his Interstellar Systems EP for Berlin label Dystopian, Jon hester has since gone on to release with the likes of DJ Deep, Radio Slave and Derrick May. In four years the likes of Deeply Rooted, Transmat and Rekids have all released the American's music and this Momentum EP continues Rekids' techno assault in 2019 (see EPs from P.Leone, Roberto and the always faithful Phillipe Petit). Industrial beats all round, "Zone" sends in spiraling rhythms, claps washed in reverb and a relentless forward motion, and "Part 4" is a touch syncopated in comparison, its held together by a hypnotising vocal snippet. Same goes for "Beatwave" only with deeper atmospheres and bleep inspired notation, while a fan's favourite can be in the happy hardcore and contemporary rave of "Accelerator".

Review: Originally released on Parker's 2018 Dance Music long player, "You're Under..." now appears on Rekids in remixed format. Fadi Mohem's take is a shimmering, dubbed out affair, led by churning chords, while Truncate's version sits at the other end of the techno spectrum. Led by a niggling organ riff and cavernous kicks, it's an expertly executed slab of peak time techno. Label owner Radio Slave contributes two versions; working with P.Leone, they deliver a solid, linear groove, replete with pitch bent vocals and ominous riffs. When he flies solo, Radio Slave chooses a radically different route, with a pulsating groove and shrieking vocal samples prevailing.

Review: 2019 is shaping up to be a busy year for Adam Brocki and Jan W?ycicki aka Private Press - and Happening is their third release so far this year. It's the follow up to last year's Zero Sum EP on Rekids and once again, showcases their distinctive take on techno. "Traces to Nowhere" and "Paper Clip" are led by wiry, shuffling grooves that underpin insistent chord stabs and dubbed out bass lines. Both tracks come across like a fresh take on 90s deep house / deep techno. "Wet Moon" sees the pair head off in a more tripped out direction, led by a throbbing, jungle bass, while "The Struggle" is a more contemporary roller.

Review: FBK aka Kevin Kennedy put out an EP on Shake's Frictional EP back in the late 90s before reappearing nearly 15 years later. Happily, Kennedy has not lost his distinctive touch and this debut album marks him out as a master of raw house and techno. More streamlined than his colleague Shake, Stories contains bruising, visceral workouts like "Layers of Fear" and "I'll Sit Back, You'll Jack" and relentless looped workouts like "Headless". That said, this is not an entirely peak-time collection, and Kennedy also drops deeper Detroit techno like the subtle back beats and churning chords of "Hassling". It's the latest chapter in the resurgence of one of techno's unsung heroes.

Review: With releases for esteemed techno labels like Komisch and Time To Express to his credit, Rekids might not seem like the most obvious home for SP-X. That said, Under New Light is part of the label's Special Projects series, which is designed to shine a light on underground artists. It gets off to a frenetic start with "Dystopian Lotus", where pummelling drums and SP-X's trademark snappy percussion underpin the kind of eerie synth sequence you might expect to hear on a Carl Craig record. "Breaths of Separation" is more frenetic and furious, with SP-X dropping lead weight kicks, pitch bent hats and gated synth stabs, while "The Orbiter" sees this highly talented artist return to the concrete drums and militaristic percussive volleys that pervaded on his previous Eps for a rousing climax.

Review: The Private Press duo have already put out music on Indigo Area and now they bring their effective club techno to Rekids. "Miracle Man" is a lean, pumping groove that resounds to thunder claps and the kind of menacing chord sequences that made Dave Clarke's Red series so memorable. On "Becomes The Prime", the Polish act draws on Jeff Mills for inspiration, with an indistinguishable vocal sample low in the mix as a dense, filtered track plays out. "Tooms" also has a raw, 90s techno sound, albeit with grimy chords and firing percussion prevailing, while the pair deliver a pulsating, acid-soaked finale in the shape of "Clan".

Review: Dustin Zahn has been flying the flag for uncompromising techno for the past 20 years, so it is somewhat surprising to see him appear on Rekids. The title track is typical Zahn: cruising along at 130bpm, it sees him marry tough drums with a repetitive riff. "Decorum", which is of a similar tempo, resounds to churning chords and pile-driving percussion. Meanwhile on "Nameless Midnight", the US producer pushes the tempo up further, but adds some extra intrigue with an instinct vocal loop playing out over a wiry rhythm and mysterious bass tones. Rounding off what is an unusual but welcome release for Matt Edwards label is "Subtle Flex", a chord-heavy affair that features a more stepping rhythm than the preceding tracks.

Review: "Way" is Faraone's second EP for Rekids this year, but prior to this, he had already built up a distinguished catalogue for labels like Drumcode, Ovum and Moon Harbour. It's not hard to understand the attraction of this record to Rekids. The title track marries the pumping Radioslave approach to techno with jacking Chicago beats, stuttering vocals and tales of music industry hubris. Aside from the a cappella, Rekids has commissioned Addison Groove to deliver a high-paced, footwork takes on the Italian producer's original version. If that's too frenetic, then the dub acid rework, with its tough kicks, searing acid line and filtered vocal snatches, will appeal for those who like it tracky.

Review: Rightly or wrongly, Markus Suckut has been to date associated with a particularly bleak strain on post-Sandwell techno. That association looks set to disappear thanks to this new release on Radioslave's label. Indeed, it would be difficult to think of a more dissimilar track to that contemporary sound than "Untitled 1". Over rolling break beats and a menacing bass, Suckut unleashes a gloomy filter that sounds like there is indeed a ghost trapped in his machines. "Untitled 2" marks a return of some form, but the focus stays on industrial-strength drums and clanging, metallic percussion. Finally, "Untitled 3" concludes Suckut's reinvention, with a raw rhythm and jagged percussion complementing deeper, more atmospheric soundscapes.

Review: Over the last 14 years, UK techno-funk stalwart Colin McBean has released a vast amount of music under his Mr G alias, for a wide variety of labels; according to Discogs, he's dropped an astonishing 70 12" singles in that time. This two-disc collection of his favourite moments, simply titled Retrospective, is arguably much needed. For the newcomers it offers a neat summary of his particular brand of no-nonsense, sample-heavy techno, where cut-up jazz, disco and soul loops ride thunderous techno rhythms and robust, late night grooves. For the diehards, there's a smattering of new cuts, while occasional fans should revel in the opportunity to savour some of his most hard-to-get jams.
