Last year Rebirth Records celebrated 10 years with the release of the acclaimed compilation selected and mixed by Larry Heard. We are now happy to present 'Rebirth 10 Remixed': a special collection, available on a limited 2x12” vinyl edition, and three digital parts, including brand new versions of some of the classics of the label in the first ten years.

The first part includes remixes from Red Axes, Rampa, Modular Project and VVV. The hot Tel Aviv duo Red Axes bring their trademark new wave sound to a tropical dimension remixing Robytek's 'Luna Africana' combining unusual melodies of bells, chimes and perc drums. The Keinemusik boss Rampa is back with a killer remix of 'Deep Musique' by Pasta Boys Feat. Osunlade, definitely another dancefloor peak time cut on Rebirth. The italian duo Modular Project add their electronic-balearic touch to the Blond:ish vocal anthem ‘Wizard of Love’, while the misterious bass producer VVV reworks another classic on the label, ‘Crossroads’ by T-Polar, giving us a sublte but heavy deep and futuristic synth work. 

The cover sleeve is a work by Emil Schult, who has created a painting especially for the Rebirth's Anniversary. Emil is known for his work with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. Schult's collaboration with founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider saw him actively involved in writing lyrics as well as generating the design for some of the band's most famous covers.

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.

A true master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to just one synth, resulting in “interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice”.

Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX 1 and HARMONIX 2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere.

Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, and released on labels including; Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir.

Born in Bremen in 1980, Nayan Soukie's musical fascination began with Prince, Michael Jackson, Art of Noise and Franky goes to Hollywood. At 13, he swapped the classical guitar for computer music and never looked back. He tried his hand at Hip hop beats, later Easy listening, then Experimental sounds, and House music. Between community service and the start of the cooperation with Fritz Windish, which continues to this day, Nayan also went to search for meaning in other realms - but always ended up back in music. At the beginning of the 2000s, Techno, Minimal, and House music were also discovered in Bremen, and Nayan and Fritz took the bait. However, it would take until 2008 for the first vinyl release by the duo to appear on the Hamburg label Eminor. Fritz and Nayan moved to Hamburg, where they worked in a shared studio. Collaborations with Sebo and Madmotormiquel were followed by the founding of their label URSL and the move to Berlin in 2011. Here Soukie & Windish found a studio in Renate club together with Kotelett & Zadak and made a name for themselves as a duo. Since 2018, Nayan has been focusing more on his left-behind solo project Amount - and made a name for himself with his spirited live sets that alternate between Downtempo, Minimal, and Disco. An EP on Minimal Little Helpers was followed by his first Disco releases on Frank Music and Running Back. "The future will be disco for me, that's for sure," says Amount. And we can't wait to follow him into that future.
