‘Badman’ sees Moodena & Charles Levine team up on Rekids this October, including remixes from label founderRadio Slave, and Cratebug. The vocal mix of Moodena & Charles Levine’s ‘Badman’ is up first, a high-energy dance track with classic house strings and an infectious bassline, telephone-like samples dialling the keypad, and a big vocal to top it off. Chicagoan edit royalty Cratebug steps up to remix ‘Badman’ first, turning the track into a hypnotic after-hours cut with plenty of dub echo, the original faintly shining through its rolling elements.

On the B-side, Moodena & Charles Levine’s ‘Badman’ is then remixed by Rekids’ own Radio Slave, who in turn transforms the track with a more low-slung vibe, cruising along with tripped-out sonics and traces of the vocals while bringing the dial-up sounds forward. Closing out the EP, there is also a dub which loses the original ‘Badman’ vocal but maintains the classy house heat.

“It was great to finally get into the studio with Charlie after having a friendship for so many years. We had an immediate connection, and ‘Badman’ was born” - Moodena

Moodena has been active in the Disco and Nu-Disco scenes for over thirty years, earning accolades via releases onMidnight Riot, Nervous Records, and his own Tropical Disco Records. Following a twenty-year-long friendship, he collaborates with one-half of Soul Clap, Charles Levine, for the first time for the ‘Badman’ EP on Radio Slave’s Rekids. With Soul Clap, Levine influenced the House and Nu-disco scenes through varied tracks on labels likeDefected and Crosstown Rebels while releasing tracks from artists like Jkriv, Josh Wink and DJ Rocca on their eponymous Soul Clap Records label.

UK techno legend Mark Broom returns to Rekids in February to release four uplifting cuts in the form of his ‘Break 97’ EP.

Mark Broom’s musical career is certainly something to behold – with over 150 releases over the past 25 years, on top of regular gigs across the world’s most renowned institutions, there’s no doubting his work ethic and his influence upon the scene. A prolific artist and true pioneer in the techno world, having worked with revered labels such as Warp, R&S, Ifach and Soma, and in more recent times Blueprint, EPM Music, Red Sonja Records and his own Beard Man Records, his ‘Break 97’ EP kick-starts 2019 for Radio Slave’s Rekids as the imprint adds yet another outstanding name to its roster following the likes of DJ Deep, Sebo K, DJ Spider and more.

‘Break 97’ sets the tone of the EP with a fusion of techno and disco, delicately blending funk-infused chords and resonating kicks amongst groove-filled vocals, before ‘Heart’ delivers inspiriting disco samples, punchy low end and elevating strings to reveal an effervescent aesthetic throughout. ‘EFB’ takes things up a notch, offering a dancefloor focused cut balancing rattling highs, vibrant synth flutters and a muffled vocal line, until ‘G Theme’ rounds out proceedings armed with robust percussion, electrifying vocals and undulating, euphoric keys.

Ray Mono is one of the fastest rising names in the game and now he keeps the pressure on with another vital EP, this time on Darius Syrossian's essential Moxy Muzik. It features two of his powerful grooves and kick starts what is set to be a huge year for the artist, while remixers, Seb Zito from fuse and the highly talented Brandub from Argentina complete a fine package. 

Syrossian has long been a supporter of Mono, who is someone with a meticulous sound in the studio and plenty of high profile releases behind him on the likes of No Fit State, Pleasure Zone and WHAT NXT? His warm bass, subtle percussion and tripped out grooves are inspired by years as a resident and promoter of legendary Leeds party Mono_Cult and his ever evolving sound comes correct once more here as he continues to get booked around Europe at all the key clubs. 

Excellent opener 'Initiated' is a driving track with a physical impact from the well programmed drums and knotted bass. 
'Esperanza' became a huge summer anthem for Darius Syrossian at his Amnesia Ibiza residency last summer, so much so, that he was inboxed repeatedly on social media with track id requests of this particular track, with DJs from across the spectrums of house & minimal requesting a copy upfront! This track is a more playful anthem in the making, with classic vocal samples over the slick and sci-fi beats. The slippery metallic perc and icy drums all get deep under your skin and the well treated vocals are set to make huge impact in the sun this summer. 

Celebrated Fuse associate Seb Zito then remixes with his stylish dubbed out grooves, taught bass twangs and punchy drum work.

Argentina's Brandub delivers a fantastic remix, with deep bubbling bass & razor sharp kick drums that flow until a short break which features beautiful deep lush chords and pads. This remix blew Space Miami apart during Darius Syrossian's set for Paradise during Miami Music Week.

One again then Ray Mono pushes forwards here with another of his devastating new EPs.
