Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS178

Radio Slave and Gene Richards Jr remix Marco Faraone on ‘No Filter Remixes (Part II)’ this April on Rekids. For the second remix EP of Marco Faraone’s 2020 ‘No Filter’ LP, Rekids boss Radio Slave and WRKTRX and UNCAGE affiliate Gene Richards Jr step up to the plate and deliver two bombastic remixes of Faraone’s works.

On the A-side, Radio Slave is in stomping techno-mode with his take on ‘Addiction’, the hypnotic titular vocal meeting an onslaught of climbing-the-walls percussion and dizzying arpeggios for nine minutes of club chaos.

The B-side sees Gene Richards Jr, an artist who is winning an outstanding amount of props from a huge variety of DJs at the moment, injects shuffle and swing into the bones of ‘Frog Face’ alongside a dose of hands-on FX tweaking and pitch bending percussion, bringing a dynamic and distinct take on Faraone’s track.

Coccolino Deep - Don't forget to fly

Out now: https://orcd.co/rekids2024rs

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.

Mathias Kaden's ‘Freedom’ on Rekids receives the remix treatment 1st August 2025, with a new version from Kaden, as well as a dub mix from Radio Slave. Initially released as part of his 2024 ‘Circulate’ EP on the label, the release won support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, TSHA, and Dam Swindle.

Rooted in soul but geared for the dancefloor, Mathias Kaden’s uptempo rework of ‘Freedom’ toughens the original’s groove while allowing its jazz and dub-inflected stabs, strings, and keys to shine through, all while stripping back the track’s memorable spoken-word sample. Meanwhile, Radio Slave’s eleven-minute dub mix is a hypnotic, slow-burning and dreamlike track, built on spacious layering and a hauntingly re-emergent vocal. A full instrumental completes the package, with Kaden and Radio Slave joining previous ‘Freedom’ remixer William Kiss in oﬀering three distinctive takes on the track.

“Radio Slave asked me for the stems of „Freedom" and created a truly inspiring version of the track. Even when playing my original, I always had a diﬀerent version in mind—and with my uptempo remake, I was finally able to bring that vision to life.” Mathias Kaden

Active since the mid-90s, Mathias Kaden appeared on Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time in 2019, adding to a versatile discography on labels like Cocoon and Vakant while also remixing work by DJ Koze, KiNK, Monika Kruse, Trentemöller.

Clark performing music from his new album on Warp Records, ‘Death Peak’, including tracks ‘Peak Magnetic’ and ‘Hoova’, alongside improvisations and musical counterpoints to the universe of the album. 

‘Death Peak’ is available now on Vinyl, CD, Digital and to Stream:
Buy – http://smarturl.it/death-peak

”I wanted to design a musical space where I could playback and remix my favourite album tracks, and also create some off the cuff improvisations that I feel are an enhancing and flirtatious musical counterpoint to the universe of Death Peak.

Going back to the material has made me pick apart some of the sequences and made realise what I value most in music.
I tend to shun the pointlessly intricate in favour of the impressionistic, the visceral. I want to extend the boundary of what's possible in music but not lose sight of the complex, emotional story telling at the heart of it, for me it's these things that give music a long lifespan, you keep coming back to records that pull you in on a level that bypasses rational analysis. I give priority to the most child-like, pure and agile musical phrases I come up with, and tend to poke fun at myself when I get all dry and technical.

Death Peak is a riddle of these most pure and lucid moments, condensed into an enduring and continuous musical wheel. I feel I really closed the circle on this one. But then I would say that. All I can say is that I loved making it. Hope you enjoy it too.”

DJs are a nomadic people. Drifting between venues, airports and hotel rooms, they're always on the hunt for new music and clubbing activity. They are, indeed, the Bohemians of the 21st Century. Or as https://soundcloud.com/britta-1, https://soundcloud.com/undersmusic and https://soundcloud.com/noraj-cue would call them: Happy Campers. 

The maiden release for their brand new imprint Happy Camper Records comes from Noraj Cue himself (aka Jaron van de Weg). The Dutchman is renowned for his impeccable productions, and is frequently called upon by others to help mixing and mastering. Releasing on labels like Manual Music, Connaisseur and BlaBla, he has cemented a style that is both emotionally tantalizing and technically sound. Story At The Campfire is a nocturnal journey through dreamy pads, mesmerizing arpeggios and captivating sound textures. 

ACHT head honcho LetKolben picks up the pace with a driving remix, built on an infectious horn and drum section, but still honoring the originals' magical arpeggios. Katerblau residents Mira & Chris Schwarzwälder have transformed the original into a hazy journey of their own, bound to set even the coldest of dance floors ablaze. And Be Svendsen delivers another one of his "hypnotic desert-circus-shaman-cowboy-techno" remixes. All of them are of course close friends of the Happy Camper crew - it's a family affair.

Stay put for more Happy Camper news in the near future.

With recent appearances on Boiler Room and the Groove Magazine Podcast plus sets across Asia and Europe, Jamaica Suk’s fearsome Techno sounds are winning fans far and wide. A year on from her debut release on her own Gradient label comes this stunning second volume.

Jamaica's Whispers, released on the vinyl imprint she launched last year, is a three-track digital release with a fourth vinyl-only track.

"Fallen" sets it out of the stall immediately, with filtered down acidic bass playing out a jagged groove. A manic counterpart mimics its rhythm but dizzily delays off the beat to create a rugged, funk-fuelled feel. Cymbal rides pitch up and down; unidentified snarls of FX mutate around the edges; all the while the sharp hi-hats keep the metronomic heartbeat going.

Whispers EP

Premiere: Jamaica Suk "Fallen" - Gradient

Following on from their recent album on Italian imprint Just This, Hunter/Game present the Silence Remixes out June 7th, featuring contributions from Radio Slave, Inland and Jamaica Suk amongst others.

Silence is a spiralling voyage into the depths of blissful ambience and meditative techno from Milan-based duo Hunter/Game. Arriving after a series of acclaimed EPs on the same label, it is an aesthetic statement of intent, carving out serene spaces of melancholy and upliftment.

For the remixes EP, a carefully chosen selection of artists provide varying interpretations of stand-out tracks from the album. Radio Slave turns ‘Dead Soul’ into a marching ground of melodic techno, whilst Inland breathes robotic life into ‘Crashed Sounds’ and Wrong Assessment levitate ‘Fragments’ over murky waters. Closing off the vinyl is Jamaica Suk’s ominous restructuring of ‘Reaction’.

Owners of the digital release will receive three further remixes. Vessels turns ‘Evolution’ into a broken dreamscape of stepping percussion, whilst Just This affiliate Scissors forges a stripped back, tripped out version of ‘Memories’. Also featured digitally is a second version of Jamaica Suk’s ‘Reaction’ remix.

Hunter/Game - Dead Soul (Radio Slave Remix)

Maceo Plex’s taste-making Ellum Audio serves up a sizzling EP from Madben, featureing a remix from men of the moment Brame & Hamo.

Frenchman Madben has a healthy reverence for Jeff Mils and Detroit techno that infuses all his work. He has been mentored by Laurent Garnier and released on a wealth of quality labels from Bedrock to Suara. A resident of the Rex Club in Paris where he puts on his MAAD parties, he is now a regular in the best clubs around Europe where he serves up his always profound sounds, something he does again here.

First up is the fantastic ‘Blooming’, with its old school rave styles and dusty breakbeats. Euphoric chords light up the whole thing and it’s a tune that is sure to get hands in the air.

Brame & Hamo are Irish sensations who are based in Berlin and known for big tunes that range from house to techno to disco. After establishing their own label they step out with a remix that is superbly stripped back. On deep rolling drums, sleek synths unfold and take you on a cosmic adventure that is well paced and cinematic.

Madben’s ‘Enjoy Yourself' is well-crafted techno with a sense of progression in the ever-evolving lead synths. Rumbling drums provide the power below and filtered, whispered vocals are an intriguing detail up top. 

Last of all, ‘Haze’ is a prickly track with snappy mental drums, off kilter synths that twist and turn and a dark energy that is tinged with industrialism.

This is a fresh techno offering that comes with plenty of new ideas that are all expertly executed.

V/A – Drumcode A-Sides Vol. 9
Cat no. DC223
Label: Drumcode
Release date: 27 April, 2020

In a brief interview around his latest Drumcode release, Oscar L explains how "When I started producing 'Dark Fate' I wanted to try something techno and groovy. I got inspired by the original soundtrack movie from ‘Terminator' and actually this is where the title of the track is coming from. I think 'Dark Fate' is a strong weapon for DJs to get the crowd into the techno mood without hitting too hard".

If you want a snapshot of where techno stands in any given year, and a preview of where it’s headed, look no further than Drumcode’s A-Sides compilation. Since 2012 it has marked the label debuts of countless vital Drumcode artists and affiliates, from Layton Giordani, Wehbba and Boxia, to Amelie Lens and ANNA, no less. Every year, new names are unearthed, tried and true techno contributors serve up their best, and icons of the industry land their debut on Adam Beyer’s storied label.

The 2020 edition hits with 13 tracks, eight coming from label debutants. There’s Eats Everything searing rave bomb ‘Organico’ and Dubfire’s ice-cool electro offering ‘Deadbug’, both artists landing their maiden contributions to DC after long affiliations with Beyer. With three EPs in less than two years on Truesoul, Oscar L steps up to DC, showing the breadth of his sound palette with a soaring, synth-laden gem ‘Dark Fate’. Belgians Joyhauser featured at last year’s Drumcode Festival paving the way for ‘Fierceness’, a beautiful melody-drenched cut befitting their DC cap. Anfisa Letyago is another first timer and shows why she’s one of the scene’s most highly touted new artists with the brooding beast ‘Are You In’. A growing label favourite, Juliet Fox follows up ‘Was Beautiful’, her superb track on last year’s A-Sides, with ‘Our Fantasy’, reinforcing her skill for crafting anthemic techno compositions. Victor Ruiz & Thomas Schumacher link and the result is ‘Intuit’, a sleek futuristic roller that hits you square between the eyes. Other highlights come from longtime Drumcode cohorts Reset Robot and Harvey McKay, who both dish up premium works, reinforcing their classy productions nous.

Mister Olivier Giacomotto has marked his debut on Eleatics with his 'Dance Alone' remix, which has become one of the most recognizable tracks from our catalogue last year.
There is enough information so far about Olivier - in-demand producer and remixer, who has been keeping his sound fresh and actual for more than 15 years with the releases on his own Definite Recordings, Noir Music, Stil Vor Talent and Senso Sounds as from the few to speak about.
This time we welcome French maestro for his debut full 'Barbak' EP on Eleatics.
The main title 'Barbak' track is neatly and masterfully produced unit, being explosive enough to be the epicentre of any set.
While hypnotic and melodic 'Kabrab' is embracing the best of what we like in the union of melodies and intense atmosphere of house & techno: sharply emerging leads alongside the mystic vocals and aggressive growling low sounds immediately gave that special feeling we wanted to share with you.
Take those tracks with you, wherever you may be.
We set no boundaries, you clearly now that.
