Melbourne’s William Kiss debuts on Rekids Special Projects with ‘Clap For Me’ EP.

William Kiss’ ‘Clap For Me’ EP on Rekids Special Projects opens with a tom-fuelled groove in its title track, a booty-shaking rhythm intermittently broken up by a repeating ‘Clap For Me’ vocal, setting the tone for a party-starting release. The UNCAGE, Club Bad and 23rd Century artist drops ‘Jacker’ next, harkening back to old-school drum machine funk and invoking pure dance ﬂoor mania through its hypnotism and retro vocal.

‘Werkin’' then sees William Kiss keep the pace through more vocal-driven sampling melded with punchy 909’s, before ‘Talkin’’ continues with full-on house euphoria designed to turn heads. The Melbourne producer then closes things out with ‘Cherry’, which, compared to the preceding tracks, goes down a more classic rolling techno route, showcasing the versatility of an artist who knows the dance through and through.

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.

Matrefakt return to Gudu for another four-track EP of high-calibre dance floor weapons.

Based in Liverpool, Matrefakt make music for dancers - that’s just what they do. With an innate understanding of how to make bodies move, whether that’s in sweaty clubs or wide open festivals, everything about their music is centred on the holy space of the dance, and comes with a submarine-deep understanding of its intricacies and idiosyncrasies.

On their new EP ‘Keep the Change’, they kick on where last year’s ‘Dimension’ EP left off. Lead track ‘Circa 07’ pairs a wiggy baseline with an anthemic lead and rapid percussive flourishes, while the EP’s title track steps up the tempo and dives deep into the acid zone. ‘Kick It’ feels like it could’ve beamed straight in from one of Daft Punk’s classic Essential Mixes, while ‘Ready to Send’ rides us into the sunset on the EP’s most outright emotional note.

Tried and tested in Peggy’s sets this Summer, Matrefakt’s latest Gudu missive is yet more proof that there’s few acts making dance floor heat as consistently as them - with other support from Skream, Patrick Topping, Anja Schneider, DJ Boring and many more.
