UNCAGE’s label owner Marco Faraone drops his second album on Rekids, focusing on an unrestricted, unfiltered soundscape inspired by childhood, entitled ‘No Filter’.

Since his initial appearance on Radio Slave’s esteemed imprint in 2018, Italian artist and label boss Marco Faraone has continued to enthuse techno communities across the globe, playing at the likes of Awakenings, Caprices, Tomorrowland and Kappa FuturFestival. With previous releases on Ovum, Drumcode and Be As One, the Tuscany-born artist has garnered the support of Len Faki, Rodhad, Laurent Garnier and many more.

‘Force Deep’ and ‘Iconic’ give the senses a relaxed flush of ecstasy and lofi-esque rhythm, while tracks like ‘Night Ride’, ‘Addiction’ and ‘No Filter’ lean more on a stripped back, beat focused dub techno tip. ‘Frogface’, and ‘Time Equals Eternity’ then flurry with signature drum programming, and otherworldly synth stabs. Finally, ’Trust Me’, propel forward with after dark atmospheres, giving this versatile and luscious album that mainstay place amongst any unique techno set.

Rekids label boss Radio Slave ventures further into unknown territory in a three-part sophomore album entitled ‘Radio Silence’ with the first instalment dropping in June.

Stretching nearly two decades, Matt Edwards’s discography is staggering with releases on labels like Running Back, R&S, Ostgut Ton, Nonplus and Figure, not to mention his illustrious imprint Rekids which has been instrumental in supporting the music and careers of incendiary artists over the years, including Nina Kraviz, Mr. G, DJ Deep, Nic Fanciulli, Peggy Gou, Laurent Garnier, Spencer Parker and many more.

Although he’s released multiple albums under different guises it was only until 2017 that the debut Radio Slave album, ‘Feel The Same’, was released. Now, the renowned UK artist delivers his latest body of work in the form of his ‘Radio Silence’ album, which will be dropping in not one, but three parts.

The first chapter features perhaps the most leftfield tracks we’ve ever heard Radio Slave product, even hitting 150BPM on closing track ‘SYD’. There’s a rawness to the album, which is in part due to the fact each track was recorded live and without edits using hardware and Ableton as the main sequencer.

Across the seven tracks, Radio Slave hone’s in on a sound that’s haunting and hypnotic. Opening track ‘Ghost’ is punctuated by lingering synths, while ‘Cell’ introduces pummelling kicks that will do damage on a big system. ‘Contact’ bleeps and glitches before making way for blaring horn-like synths, and ‘ZQU’ is a masterclass in mind-bending techno. Elsewhere, closing track ‘SYD’ delivers on every level, thanks to uncompromising 150BPM realness.

Italian producer Akoriz has been developing his productions for labels like Silver M, Planet Underground, and Kneaded Pains, over the last couple of years.
 
On the ‘Translaction’ single, we are equipped with a pair of highly functional tracks, firmly rooted in techno’s industrious sound aesthetics.  ‘Command’ rattles hard with incessant looping tones, whilst ‘Restart’ carries some additional swing, and a rasping low end.

Berlin-based Irish artist Hybrasil returns to Rekids with four murky techno cuts in ‘We Don’t Flip’.

Having made numerous appearances on Rekids including ‘Embers’, his debut album released last year, Hybrasil has become a core artist on Matt Edwards’s label when not releasing on his very own eponymous imprint. Reflecting on an amazingly creative 2019, at the start of this year Hybrasil set a new creative path for his future live shows, writing new music that received regular support from Radio Slave, which is what ultimately shaped this new four-track release.

‘We Don’t Flip’ opens the package with an immediate shadowy aesthetic before rattling kicks, off-beat hats and snappy snares lay down the groove as distorted vocal murmurs join delayed synths. ‘Hour Glass’ is next with its syncopated rhythm and quivering pads before ‘Ikigai’ takes things into wonkier territories courtesy of subtle melodies, metallic atmospherics and dubby chords. Tying everything together, ‘System H’ takes things up a notch, adding extra oomph to the package using powerful drums, rippling bass and deep stabs.

Colorcode Records co-founder Monomood provides his first full EP on the newly formed German imprint entitled ‘Rumble & Rave’. 

Berlin based artist Monomood is a varied producer who cannot be tied down to one genre or style but let’s just say he does a bit of everything with fine-tuned intricacy and creativity. After dwelling on the Drum & Bass station for a while, Monomood has truly taken off into the future: orbiting the wide cosmos of dubbed out techno sounds and everything in between. His releases on Etui Records and most recently his newly formed Colorcode imprint with Roman Lindau and Sascha Rydell, carries us into the complex world of echoed chords and spacy delays with hypnotic excellency. 

‘Don’t Hold Back’ opens up with punchy kicks, electrifying vocals and fizzing modulations that roll with sublime vibrancy.

Initially inspired by the UK’s underground bass scene, Tokyo born Risa Taniguchi has developed her own techno and electronic sounds that incorporate influences from these UK & European sounds as well as techno’s long and rich musical tapestry.

Having racked up notable releases for the likes of Redrum Music, Second State and Suara, Taniguchi returns to Kneaded Pains after appearances on the label’s KPAINS albums with her own full EP for Dense & Pika’s label.

Purposeful and pounding acid vibes makeup the title track ‘Rockim’, and continue into ‘Enclozed’, as Taniguchi’s psychedelic vocal refrains zip around a minimal techno production.  Chattering hi-hats establish the forward motion of ‘Wobbel’, another blazing cut that wraps up this effortless EP.
