Radio Slave drops ‘Wild Life’ on Rekids this April. 

Following the recently dropped ‘Strobe Queen’, which picked up support from Honey Dijon, Sean Johnston, Laurent Garnier, BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Danny Howard amongst many more, Radio Slave returns with another standout House cut ‘Wild Life’, turning in two exceptional Disco and Dub mixes. 

“I’ve always adored the “Wildpitch” era of DJ Pierre, Roy Davis Jnr, DJ Duke and labels like Power Music It’s definitely influenced my work as Radio Slave and “Wild Life” started out as a nod to that early nighties sound. Conceived during the pandemic, I had the track mapped out and then with help of a good friend I decided to add live bass, loads of analogue keyboards and record the whole thing live and it became this super funky disco jam.” - Radio Slave 

Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards is one of dance music’s undisputed heavyweights. Having made his name as a DJ in the 90s, he went on to become the king of edits, twisting pop, R&B and indie cuts into essential versions that consistently set clubs alight. Since the mid-2000s, Edwards’ originals have helped define modern dance music, tackling techno, house, breakbeat, minimal and disco whilst exploring dub, balearic sounds and ambient across the myriad of other aliases and projects.

PRAKTIKA & JAHELLE - Zélé - PALMS TRAX REMIX

Back in Paris after six intense years in West Africa, the little genius of afrotech-house returns with 10 intense tracks and the best musicians to join him in african studio session (Mali, Burkina and Côte D'ivoire): Lansiné Kouyaté, Innocent Kimpe and the fabulous singer jahelle on his new album "Balani Factory", released on April 12 on Blanc Manioc (distributed by Baco - Idol).
Reflections of his travels, reflections of his imaginations, and tutelary figures, our favorite bagpacker takes a little more the road of the African western with his synthesizers as his only compass. The common thread that quickly becomes apparent is an instrument that has spanned the centuries: the balafon, and the story of the mysterious singer with the tragic destiny of "Zélé de Papara"!
Together with singer Jahelle, they pay her an emotionnal tribute on the eponymous track.
After listening to this single, released at the beginning of the year, the famous DJ and producer PALMS TRAX joined Praktika and took over the tracks for a remix, an 8-minute epic in the pure house tradition, with transcendental harmonic progression and evolving rhythm.

Jim Rivers continues to build on his glowing reputation as a master of the space between house and techno with this essential release on Poker Flat Records. 

A producer and DJ with a career spanning over a decade, Rivers has earned widespread respect for his deep, dynamic productions and ability to blur genre boundaries with finesse.

The title track, Magnolia, leads the release with its tough kicks and crisp percussion, laying the foundation for a driving house workout infused with spacy atmospherics. This is peak-time material—hypnotic, pulsing, and primed for the dancefloor. 

On the flip side, Salix takes a deeper approach, featuring thick subby kicks and wonky melodic elements that blend seamlessly into an intoxicating mix of euphoric house and late-night groove.

*FREE DOWNLOAD* - A mix that straddles the deeper side of progressive house and tech-house. Features lush pads, emotive keys and an experimental bassline.

This track is designed to reflect the unbelievable amount of rubble that has been produced in Gaza, by Israel's bombings.

There is the sheer scale, the awe, the emotional upheaval, and a glimmer of hope in there too too. Because, even with the future uncertain for Gaza's families, something great can emerge from that rubble.

A better day may come soon. I really hope so.

Radio Slave enlists two heavyweights remixes from Dixon and Underground Resistance, who reimagine ‘Trans’ - the twisted, bass-driven cut on Radio Slave’s excellent inaugural album.

First up, Innervisions co-founder Dixon offers an inspired retouch containing an amalgamation of cosmic synth arpeggios, each one unfolding in a unique way as the track develops, supported by a prominent vacillating bassline.

On the flip, Detroit techno pioneers Underground Resistance provide a ‘Hamtramck’ remix features crunchy modulated synths and heavily delayed vocal slices that duck in and out before funk influenced guitar licks resonate alongside a plethora of dark effects.

Biographie
PRAKTIKA (France, Blanc Manioc)

French music producer and DJ Jérôme Fouqueray (aka Praktika) has twelve years of experience in music and was looking for new sounds and influences when he turned his ears onto the other side of the Mediterranean sea.
In 2014, he took his music machines for the first time to the warm lands of West Africa - a musical playground so reach in possibilities that he settled there. Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Benin, Chad, Senegal... Praktika lives to- day between these various countries, hungry for new sonic palettes, new musical structures and workflow to spice up his own music productions.
It took him five years to develop a sound outside the beaten tracks, often through live improv sessions & jams with local instrumentists.
His dj-sets paint a road-movie where dark techno blends with South African Gqom, Chicago house and West African rhythms and sounds. Each set always co- mes with with a touch of surprising turns, brought about by Praktika’s fresh edits of old African tunes.
