We’re kicking off the new year in style with a fantastic new double header by RAXON. This Egypt-born, barcelonese powerhouse has left his scent marks all over the place in recent years. He has developed an instantly recognizable sound and that’s no small feat in these times shaped by so much formulaic dullness. “Your Fault” sees our Catalan hot shot in an exuberant disco mood. Mind bending chord progressions foiled with Raxon’s trademark vocal stutters guarantee for wonderfully twisted hands in the air moments. With “Beskar” we’re entering Star Wars nerd territory. Jedipedia says, Beskar is a uniquely resistant iron that develops a wide range of properties - and colors - in the hands of skilled metalsmiths. Alright. Musically speaking, we’re dealing with a stealthy, funky as hell trance-not-trance juggernaut. 2024 is off to a good start!

Seasoned remixer Matt Edwards, AKA Radio Slave, closes out his Rekids label’s 2024 with three reimaginations of some of the imprint’s biggest tracks of the year, extending the runtime of all versions beyond the ten-minute mark for wonderfully expansive journeys reminiscent of Edwards’ early dub days.

“Sometimes, you just need to scratch that itch, and I’ve wanted to add my twist to these tracks for quite some time. I am revisiting a period of my productions where I just let things flow. No frills, deep, bumping, hypnotic grooves; I really enjoyed doing these remixes. It’s a great way to finish an incredible year for the label and a shape of things to come in 2025.” - Radio Slave

Moodena & Charles Levine’s ‘Badman’ is up first, with Radio Slave stripping it of its larger-than-life classic House sounds and turning it into a low-slung hypnotic ‘T ell Me Something’ dub. He reworks Man Power & Louisahhh’s ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ next, an introspective trip with daydream piano keys and an irresistible organic groove. Finally, Rekids favourite Hilit Kolet and her ‘Snap T alk’ face Edwards’ deep, chord-infused drums, welded seamless and smooth with Kameelah Waheed’s iconic vocal from the original.

Radio Slave ‘Rekids’ Remixes is classy business from a remix veteran still at the top of his game after more than
twenty years.
