Andi / Randolph & Mortimer - Torque Force

12” Vinyl: b.link/torqueforce
Digital: b.link/torqueforcedigital

The concept behind this split 12” is simple. Two artists who are divided by the Atlantic Ocean but unified by a love of classic New Beat sounds. Andi, boss of the New York City-based Synthicide record label/club night and Aufnahme + Wiedergabe recording artist, combined forces with Sheffield’s Industrialist and lover of underground Body Music, Randolph & Mortimer, to present their own interpretation to the unmistakable Belgian genre.

Thus, “Torque Force” was forged. A landscape where seedy neon-soaked city streets merge with the clang of hammers and of industry: Gotham versus The Steel City. Andi brings pure style to Side A with driving beats and rolling, lo-fi percussion overlaid by seriously funky basslines and ominous samples. Side B is jammed with the unmistakable dancibility found in Randolph & Mortimer’s oeuvre that forces the body to move —with intense, in-your-face synth lines and precise beats, there is no choice but to dance.

The four tracks on “Torque Force” are not just uber cool dancefloor killers, but could easily soundtrack a slew of 1980s dystopian cyber-sleaze movies. She must have violated the program…

Kris Baha - Revolting

Reka's remix of SDH’s ‘You Pt.12’ is ​​the band's first collaboration with a DJ, and it's strange that they took so long to do it because their suggestive synth-pop songs sprinkled with EMB and techno are fertile ground for DJs all over the world to get the perfect sexy dance song everyone is waiting for in a party in a late night club.

SDH and Reka met in Berlin in 2019 when SDH were touring supporting their self-titled album (Avant! Records, 2018) and the connection was instantaneous. Sooner or later they had to work together.

The song ‘You Pt.12’ originally appeared on Against Strong Thinking EP (Avant! Records, 2020), SDH’s follow-up to their first record, and it’s probably one of the songs the bests sums up their sound and style: somber, sexual, obtuse and mysterious.

Demonstrating selections from contemporary techno to the genre's prototypical past of electro and wave, her sets are a highly sensitive affair; manoeuvring seamlessly through dance music's multitude of permutations, blending together into a carefully narrated story that ebbs and flows with her artistic vision and prowess.

Currently based in Berlin, REKA has constantly toured worldwide from Berghain, KHIDI in Tbilisi, and De School in Amsterdam to Movement in Detroit and Vurt in Seoul amongst many other clubs and festivals. Previously, she also held a 5 year residency at Tresor. Most recently, she released her debut record Diving The Innermost on BITE on 2018, following with another EP in collaboration with Imperial Black Unit released on FLEISCH. Besides her duties as a producer and DJ, REKA took on the role as a curator, whether organising her own night W.A.V.E.S. or other events around Berlin and throughout Europe. REKA ́s rich experience and broad musical range have rendered her remarkably diverse.

Starting to collect records at the age of 10 in Spain, she became equally infatuated with science, and it was not until she finished her degree in Genetics that she decided to pursue her artistic path full-time. Merely one year into her DJ career, REKA was discovered by DJ Hell and joined International Deejay Gigolos as part of the female duo leChic, releasing the critically acclaimed CD-mix “leMix” in 2008. Three years later, REKA was selected to participate in Toronto edition of Red Bull Music Academy. She eventually felt the desire to start her solo path which is considerably darker and gravitating towards more experimental realms which she still pursues to this day.
