London producer @joeashworth has been on my radar for a while, with his ‘Zubr’ collaboration with Kiwi getting some heavy rotation round my way. I actually tried to sign it I think. It’s been great to see him progress, with a slew of EPs on Needwant and other releases on Anjunadeep, Holic Trax and Sneaky Music plus remixes for Shadow Child & Ben Pearce and Andre Crom in recent times. 

His sound continues to develop and branch off in different directions, and this moody new track from his ‘Braun’ EP – the first release on Glaswegian duo Mia Dora’s @poster-boy-records – is one of his most impressive to date. Taking its cues from the brooding progressive / techno sound of Life & Death et al, it dials things up to an intense energy with its shuffling rhythms, chubby arpeggiated bassline and snarling synths. It reminds me a little of early 2000s prog, in a very good way.

Following strong releases on Ovum, FLASH, Elevate and more established labels, P-Ben from France joins the OFF roster.

The EP kicks off with Bakoutool, a dry and functional percussive tool track.

Glory is an oldschoolish chord-heavy trip through time and space.

Reverside is another functional affair, an energetic synth line leads the track, and classic 909 drums propel it forward.

Tribute To M. is a slightly cheeky nod to one of the innovators of our music.

Finally, 'All Possible' connects with Glory in its uplifting and chord-laden style, classic 90ies techno-house.

Out now on Rekids: https://lnk.to/REKIDS140

Long time innovator Mathias Kaden debuts on Rekids with two rolling cuts with remixes by leading Japanese artist Hiroshi Watanabe and Delsin Records regular Vril.

With two decades of experience, Mathias Kaden is without a doubt one of house music’s most consistent artists. Known for his versatile approach to music making, Kaden has released on labels like Ovum and Pets, not to mention Mule Musiq and Ornaments under his Japanese inspired side project Mathimidori. Not only that, Kaden has proven his adaptability with remixes of many top tier artists like DJ Koze, Wareika and Jesse Rose. He now joins Rekids to further establish his unwavering reputation.

‘Liberate Drums’ is already highly sought after having generated a lot of hype on a Honey Dijon podcast earlier this year and rightly so - Kaden layers claps with a looped leading groove and warped vocals. Vril then distorts the original, bringing filtered effects and crunchy percussion, while Hiroshi Watanabe’s musical rendition transforms the track with epic strings that work amongst elongated vocals giving the track a mystical quality. Finishing on a darker note, ‘Helicopter’ utilises warping waves which oscillate atop a bed of hammering percussion, infused with a groove that is destined to get you moving.
