Monty Luke unveils the first part of ‘Nightdubbing’ on Rekids.

Monty Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing (Part 1)’ on Rekids launches with '40 Acres And A Terabyte', a droning and deep cut with broken beats and sustained chords that convey a real sense of space travel. It's physical but emotional, making a lasting impact before the title track, ‘Nightdubbing’, joins in with melancholic chords which strike a bittersweet note, slowly evolving into warm, uplifting rays of cosmic energy.

'Dark Paradise' is another masterful mix of musical chords over deep, dynamic drums below. It's the sort of track which makes the mind wander, with closer 'Bob Molly' boasting wispy pads and astral keys. Each sonic element darts about the airwaves over a woody and organic groove that's both loopy and hypnotic. 

Monty Luke spent ten formative years in Detroit, where the city's unique musical spirit influenced him immensely. He has since distilled this experience into the music he has put out on labels like Rekids, Planet-E, Hypercolour, and his own Black Catalogue. His raw, dub-infused sound comes with plenty of futuristic designs, with the variety of this first instalment of ‘Nightdubbing’ showing real, tastemaker class.

Toronto’s Greg Gow kicks off 2024 for Rekids Special Projects.

Greg Gow’s ‘Soul Seek’ EP on Rekids Special Projects launches with ‘35 Fathoms’, a restrained house-meets-techno cut in which he imbues the machines with real funk and soul. As one of the biggest names in techno to come out of Canada, the Tronic, Planet-E, and SCI+TEC artist once again delivers a classy techno offering worthy of Radio Slave’s celebrated Rekids offshoot.

‘Soul Seek’ sees Gow channel both Detroit and the early Toronto rave scene, with the title track boasting chunky drums and silky smooth dub chords which drone stylishly under its steady top-end. ‘SleepingProphet’ then continues with slick grooves and dreamy synth work before dancefloor anthem ‘Pocket Lighter’ closes affairs with Greg Gow calling in an iconic vocal, rich melody and chugging, shaking drums.

Running Back and Hivern Discs artist Katerina debuts on Rekids with a dreamy house EP titled ‘One’, which features a remix from Aleksi Perälä. 

The title track of Katerina’s ‘One’ EP on Rekids starts off with bodied bass drums, rich analogue synthlines and soothing vocal-laced melodies. The Finnish-Bulgarian artist appears on Rekids following her 2023 Panorama Bar debut for the label, now adding Radio Slave’s imprint to her extensive discography on labels like Running Back, Hivern Discs, and Rhythm Section.

“This record was born out of the longing for emotional intimacy in a world of fast technology. There was a very natural flow to writing the music and the songs felt as if they wrote themselves. To be able to work with my all-time favourite Finnish artist, Aleksi Perälä, is a dream come true. Not only do I love his music, but his humane approach to life. We are one, and we shouldn't forget that. It's important to stop and be present not only for others but for yourself and the universe too.” - Katerina 

Fellow Finnish artist & international scene legend Aleksi Perälä then joins Katerina’s ‘One’ EP for the remix. Known for his imaginative sound design work on Clone, Trip, Rephlex and his own AP Musik label, Perälä turns ‘One’ into an equally whimsical, continually evolving dance trip. Dream-like keys trickle over rolling drums in his version before Katerina’s ‘Papu’ introduces the B-side, featuring a set of wonky chords played over an earworm bassline. ‘Look Into My Eyes’ is up last with gorgeous dubbed-out sonics, deep low-end and more after-hour melodies, closing out this irresistible addition to the Rekids family. 

This is another artfully crafted excursion through house and electronica from Katerina.

Polish multi-instrumentalist Kuba Sojka debuts on Rekids’ RSPX imprint.

Opening track ‘Whispers’ on Kuba Sojka’s ‘Life’ EP on Rekids Special Projects is a piece of brilliantly stripped-back yet evocative tech house, perfectly swung with clipped vocals and acidic synth pulses that bring boundless late-night energy. Next, the superb ‘ID’ unfolds at a slower tempo with a sense of mystery and intrigue. The drums again swing low, this time with groaning pads up top, speaking of a desolate landscape as keys trickle in the distance.

‘ID’ is a brilliantly cinematic cut that keeps you on your toes, while Sojka’s ‘Revived’ rides on big dub techno waves with fizzing pads up top and percussion sprinkled over the vast rolling kicks. Last of all, ‘Final Process’ entrances with rich layers of silky synths trailing off into a cosmic sky as the mid-tempo drums make for a supple groove down low. 

A live performer, musician, and producer Kuba Sojka draws on a plethora of sounds such as funk, jazz, and soul. He brings an experimental edge to his music and, under his Kuba Sojka and Psi-Acoustic project, has explored IDM, electro, future jazz, and acid. He has landed on labels like Mathematics, Matrix Records, International Day Off Records, and now Radio Slave’s RSPX.

Next up on Kuukou is a snapshot of unbridled dance floor ecstasy courtesy of a cross-continental collaboration between 3 glowing talents: Japan's SUDO, USA's KRYOMAN and Eastern European maestro Horatio. Operating from sundered soils - the trio manage to offer shades of their own unique characters, bringing them together into one, cohesive and explosive recording.  

Horatio was the flint that formed the fire...having seen KRYOMAN's live performances in Las Vegas being aware of SUDO's meticulous approach to audio production, he envisioned a joining of forces and - through the power of the Internet - was able to meld some magic. 

Astrum truly captures something special. A searing, major-key step sequence courses through the core of the track, carrying a huge amount of energy with it while stony drums rattle off the surface of a dense sub bass. The sequencing gives 'final tune' energy as it contracts and swells towards electrifying drops that are certain to send clubs, festival floors and stadiums into a jubilant frenzy. 

Label head Simina Grigoriu then rounds the package off - doing what she does best in dialling back the vibe slightly, stripping things down and locking in a twisted, heady DJ tool playable at any time of the night.

Tina Von Kugler is joining us from Berlin for our 152nd podcast.

Tina von Kugler, originally from Italy and now based in Berlin, has been immersed in the techno scene since her move to the German capital in 2016. Co-founding Klub Ostkreuz (KOX) in 2017, Tina has been instrumental in shaping Berlin's underground culture by organizing parties, raves, and art events, and curating a community radio show. Despite her deep involvement in the music scene, her personal journey as a DJ began just two years ago, thanks to the unwavering support of collectives like V.A. Femme. Since then, she has already made waves across Europe, blending groovy, funky, and Berlin-inspired techno in venues around Berlin, Italy, and Belgium.

In November 2023, Tina embarked on a solo adventure to Colombia and Peru, where her infectious energy and magnetic presence found a warm reception. From Bogotá to Lima, Medellín to Arequipa, Tina's performances electrified audiences in clubs and festivals alike. Notably, she performed at renowned festivals such as Free Connection and Locombia on the Colombian Caribbean coast, solidifying her growing reputation in the international techno scene.

As Tina von Kugler's journey continues to unfold and she´s now starting to produce her first beats, one thing is clear: her passion for music knows no bounds.
