Lucid dreams are interesting dreams, aren't they? You know you're sleeping and dreaming but still you're dreaming … Though at this point we are sure that YOU are NOT dreaming. Yes, Davis Genuino aka DAVIS is back on Live At Robert Johnson. With his fourth release we might add - more likely a dream come true.
The São Paulo citizen who's part of the ODD queer warehouse-party collective is a central figure to the city's House and Techno scene, running the »In Their Feelings« and »ODDiscos« labels he has always released his music on other labels as well such as Innervisions, Polari Records or Permanent Vacation.
For »Lucid Dreams« Davis is lit indeed as the opening track »Lit« heavily suggests. »Lit« is sheer energy: A high-speed ode to happiness driven by a marvelous bass line and lots of dreamy vibes.
»Satellite 909« takes us on a trip to slightly darker galaxies, yet it keeps the upbeat and uplifting quality Davis started with. This satellite is transmitting with the typical and beautiful aggressiveness of a TR-909 drum machine - mission accomplished.
Title track »Lucid Dreams« is next: Both versions are characterized by a synth motif which spirals upwards and upwards, certainly driving all dancers crazy for the first half of the track - up until the point when Davis releases us poor dancers and listeners after a short break by building this amazing crescendo followed by commanding claps that lead us back to the floor again. With its trancy signature synthwave melodies »Lucid Dreams« has all you've ever dreamed of - and by that we're talking again of dreams come true. Muito obrigado Davis!

Mark Broom returns to Rekids with the ‘Showtime’ EP. 

Mark Broom’s return to Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint takes in four tracks that showcase the UK techno legend’s sample-twisting style of house and techno. With a slew of EPs, LPs and remixes for Rekids and sister label RSPSX in recent years, Broom is one of the label’s core roster and most in-demand artists. 

Tough drums meet soulful, recognisable strings in ‘Klashjamz’, a real blast to the past chopped up in creatively funky ways. The title track ‘Showtime’ is next, its groove skipping and stuttering before breaking out into jazzy electro swing done right. 

On the flip, broom brings in ‘HIGHNRG’, a percussive, peak-time treat that expertly does what it says on the tin via a pulsating, rolling bassline accompanied by hypnotic vocals and infectious rhythm. ‘Jazz Ting’ then closes Mark Broom’s ‘Showtime’ EP, a hyped-up number with an earworm, classic & classy melody. 

Techno, house, hardgroove and rave, Mark Broom is one of UK dance music’s legends and has a myriad of production credits to his name dating back to 1989. Warp, M-Plant, Hardgroove, and his own Pure Plastic and Beardman imprints are just a handful of the labels he’s worked with, while studio collaborations with the likes of Baby Ford and James Ruskin have cemented his reputation as a storied and vital part of electronic music culture.

Jassu dear friends and music lovers! Let's welcome the Greek DJ and production duo Boys' Shorts!
After releases on labels like Permanent Vacation, HE.SHE.THEY, Cormac’s Polari Records or Future Disco, after remixes for Alison Goldfrapp, Yuksek w/ Polo & Pan, Kasper Bjørke, Boy George or Casey Spooner (Fischerspooner), we're more than proud to add them to our LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON family circle! 
The duo consisting of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA aka »Last Gas Station«) and electronic recording artist Tareq are purveyors of the fine art of including a little bit of everything in their DJ sets - and in their productions: Be it house or slow techno, be it disco or acid - their main goal is to »make people dance!«. With this new 3-track release they definitely won't take no prisoners.
And what a way to start with title track »On The High Line«: A fantastic Euro-Wave-Disco-type of tune featuring the über-cool spoken word voice of DJ City. Think early to mid 80ies Berlin (or London … or any other European city around that time), think of neon lights, think of ice cold nights and hot 'n' sweaty clubs - yes, we know, it sounds like a cliché … but hell yeah, this tune is a CHOON. And anybody who doesn't move his behinds to it must surely be dead.
Let's go to our »Dark Room Rendez-Vous« next. The boys stay instrumental for this one - maybe because there's no need to talk in a dark room … This dark room though really ain't too dark at all. It shines bright with light positive synth lines and a steady uplifting beat. It might even sound more like a visit to your local sauna when you're sitting in that bubbly whirlpool for relaxation purposes. Yet also: No prisoners taken here.
»All Over« starts with hard synth stabs, followed by a beautiful electro beat until the 4-to-the-floor bass drum hits hard - very hard. Here too we find these uplifting positive synthesizer melodies the boys so easily manage put in their productions. And isn't a huge portion of positivity not something we need these days? Come on! We need it ALL OVER!
Boys’ Shorts toured around Europe over the last years, playing in world renowned venues such as Berghain/Panorama bar and London’s E1, opened for Hot Chip and will hopefully play at Robert Johnson very soon. In the meantime let's put on our shorts and go for a walk on the high line - or go to the dark room …
