London-based artist Hilit Kolet returns to Rekids, collaborating with New York’s The Illustrous Blacks, the project formed by Manchildblack and Monstah Black, for the ‘Transatlantic Kiki’ EP, landing 29th August 2025 via Radio Slave’s Rekids. Legendary father-daughter duo Floorplan remix the single, with the release following up Kolet’s 2024 ‘Snap Talk’ EP, which won support from artists like Dam Swindle, Chloé Caillet, Bradley Zero, and more.

“This record is pure, bottled fun - a sassy shout-out to the twin cities that define club culture. The Illustrious Blacks' vocals were a producer's dream, so the edgier 'First Class Mix' just had to happen. To then receive a remix from Floorplan is a massive honour; their interpretation is a masterclass, and I'm thrilled to share it.”
– Hilit Kolet

“ 'Transatlantic Kiki' was written in celebration of the iconic nightlife of two of our favorite cities in the world, NYC and London. It also serves as a tribute to our instant musical connection to Hilit.”
– The Illustrious Blacks

With lyrics that connect London and New York, ‘Transatlantic Kiki’ is a tough, funk-fueled roller true to Hilit Kolet’s signature production style, infused with an unmatchable personality via The Illustrous Blacks’ playful, vogue-like vocals. It’s hypnotic, bold, and irresistible, with the pair supplying a loopy ‘First Class’ mix that introduces vocal elements not featured in the original, amplifying the track’s qualities to hit even harder, and works the dancefloor into a sweat.

Robert and Lyric Hood, known together as Floorplan, remix Hilit Kolet & The Illustrous Blacks’ ‘Transatlantic Kiki’. Equally infectious as the original, they transform its rhythm into a drummy late-night cut. Stabs and vocal chops ride the groove, culminating in a proper lose-yourself-in-the-dance House cut that also comes with an instrumental version.

London’s Hilit Kolet came up through the former Soho Black Market Records shop, and has since become synonymous with the city’s House scene via releases on Defected, Snatch!, Domino, and Rekids, with a #1 debut on Music Week’s Upfront Club Chart and support from BBC Radio 1, Jamie Jones, HAAi, Skream, and more. NYC duo The Illustrious Blacks, comprising Manchildblack and Monstah Black, blend Afro-Electro, Funk, Disco, and House across releases on Soul Clap, Classic Music Company, and Defected, as well as collaborations with artists such as Osunlade, DJ Minx, Seven Davis Jr., and David Morales.

There's something special about having your people around you, the ones who truly understand the music and the moments it creates. Dean is exactly that kind of person, a dear friend who's been part of our story since day one.
We've shared countless nights together, lost in conversation about sounds that move us, those tracks that hit different when you're surrounded by the right energy. He's always been drawn to the faster side of things, but there's this deeper understanding he has about music that goes beyond tempo.
When he played at Bloemerbar, something clicked. The way he read that room, the way he connected, it reminded us why we started this whole thing in the first place. Music as a bridge, as a shared language.
Tonight, Dean's taking us on his kind of journey. Starting somewhere warm and familiar with house that wraps around you, then slowly building toward those heavier moments that make your chest thump. It's not just about the mix, it's about the trust between friends, letting someone you believe in guide you through the night.

Groovy rolling bass lines, minimal, acid and 90s house can all be heard in Cassette's sets and productions.

Not one to be pigeon holed, or limited by others’ perceptions, Cassette draws influence from many genres.

Early attendance at raves listening to Breaks, Garage, Drum n Bass and Chicago House, combined with her upbringing on Jazz & Soul have all helped shape her into the dynamic selector she is today.

Whether it be deep minimal tech or jacking old skool house there is a certain groove evident in all her musical choices that sets her sound apart from the masses. Cassette got soul!

Her infectious personality and creative sets continue to prove her reputation as a deserving local favourite.
She has strong support from renowned Sydney collectives S.A.S.H, Return to Rio, Blueprint, Subsonic and her own brand BODYWORK.

Internationally, her mixes and productions have been featured on radio stations, websites and blogs around the world resulting in club and festival gigs in Europe, USA, Africa, Mexico, Dubai and Asia.

Her music knowledge and creativity is not limited to the club scene, she has previously completed projects for VIVID Sydney and  been headhunted to work with high-end brands Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Harpers Bazaar, Nike and Adidas.

So what's on the horizon for cassette? She continues to grow her own brand and record label BODYWORK which she runs with her bff DJ Danni B. Bodywork is fast developing it's own loyal cult following, branching out into art fashion and records. With an EP and plenty of unreleased bombs under her belt I'd advise you to stay tuned cause Cassette is worth the hype...
