Serving up another release by one of techno’s prominent names, DGTL Records brings new music to the forefront with Deniro (@deniro1985). The acclaimed techno artist is the moniker of Reynier Hooft van Huijsduijnen, known for his subtle and precise use of melody and rhythm in an intriguing fashion. Having been associated with the festival since 2019, the Dutch DJ/Producer has played at their ADE, Amsterdam and Digital DGTL editions. The 4-track EP titled ‘Identifier’ is set to release on March 26th.

The EP’s opening track ‘Identifier’ is governed by gravity defying synth lines with a groovy drum running through the track. It’s signature to Deniro’s pull and push style, which has garnered the attention of several industry greats - ranging from Nina Kraviz, ROD and Hunee (to name a few). The remix by Marcel Dettmann (@marceldettmann) makes for a stellar match, complimenting the original mix with a short, tougher re-imagination of the track. The German DJ/Producer is a familiar face on DGTL’s stages, in addition to being one of the most influential figures of contemporary techno in his own right.

‘Infrared’ is the third track on the EP and invokes a powerful groove and energetic synth jabs with darker undertones. It’s straight to the dancefloor with this one, melding fast arpeggios and 909 drums with fierce rhythm and racing percussion. The track is reminiscent of peak-time techno, and blends perfectly with the overall theme of the EP.

True to its name, ‘Sunset’, the closing track on the EP, is distinctly melodic in nature. Playfully balancing it’s more percussion heavy counter-parts, the Detroit inspired track delivers you straight to Deniro-land - with no shortage of synth sounds and pads. The build-up of the track is defined by a steady rhythm and laid-back groove, laced with atmospheric and dreamy elements.

Following four acclaimed EPs across both Rekids and Rekids Special Projects, the Irish-born, Berlin-based Hybrasil returns to Radio Slave’s techno-focused imprint for his fifth appearance on the Rekids labels. Bringing four no-nonsense techno cuts across ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, Hybrasil displays his knack for crafting a wide range of deeply playable dancefloor-friendly techno.

Title track ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ leads with pounding kicks and bubbling stabs before ‘Abhean’ brings the tempo up as gritty synths unfurl across razor-sharp drum patterns. ‘Erimon’ takes a deeper turn, with dubbed-out chords and reverberant hits rumbling throughout, followed by the final track ‘Oenach’. In a similar fashion to the ‘Erimon’, elements of classic dub techno meet Hybrasil’s pitch-perfect production to close out the release.

Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with ‘Blackbird’, featuring a remix from Ian Pooley.

Last appearing on Rekids with the ‘Control Your Mind’ EP in 2020, Mathias Kaden now delivers his third release on Radio Slave’s label, teaming up with Zoë Xenia for the mammoth ‘Blackbird’ backed with a pair of remixes from house legend Ian Pooley.

Leading the A-side, ‘Blackbird’ sees Mathias Kaden reach for rumbling basslines, fluttering synths, and lush piano chords to craft a tense, building track enhanced by Zoë Xenia’s soaring vocal performance.

Additionally, an instrumental version of the track features on the A2, providing a welcome bonus for listeners and DJs alike.

On the flip, Ian Pooley twists the track into a rattling house jam, with wriggling keys, bouncing low-end sizzling percussion sitting under slices of Xenia’s effortless vocals. Rounding out the release is the ‘Basic Dub’ mix, which sees Pooley playing with classic dub techniques for a sharp instrumental take on the original.

Radio Slave teams up with Nez for all-new versions of the club smash, ‘Wait a Minute’.

The first single from Radio Slave’s forthcoming 2023 LP, ‘Wait a Minute’ sees the UK legend pair with grammy nominated multi-hyphenate Nez for a hard-hitting, rap-infused house track that has become a staple of the handful of DJs that’s already causing track ID request mayhem across social media.

Initially meeting via Radio Slave’s incendiary remix of the FELIX DA HOUSECAT co-produced ‘Lift Off’ released via Three Six Zero/Sony in 2021, LA’s Nez and Berlin-based Radio Slave made plans to work together as soon as possible, and a new version of 2020’s ‘Wait A Minute’ is the result. Featuring remixes from Rekids’ own Mark Broom and coming complete with an instrumental version, Radio Slave feat. Nez ‘Wait A Minute’ is released through Rekids on 26th August 2022.

Radio Slave, aka Matt Edwards, is responsible for some of the most recognisable underground dance tracks of the past 20 years, including ‘Grindhouse’, ‘Don’t Stop No Sleep’, ‘Another Club’, and many other timeless cuts. His collaboration work with Joel Martin as Quiet Village and solo work as Rekid has received critical acclaim, and he remains one of the most in-demand and consistent remixers around. Since beginning the Radio Slave project back in 2001, Matt has always championed his love of Hip hop, officially remixing N.E.R.D in 2004, releasing music from Chicago’s Jack Hogan on Rekids, and curating the disco rap compilation ‘Harlem World (The Sound Of The Big Apple Rappin’)’ with Joel Martin and the late Mark B on their Heroes and Villains imprint.

Nez has worked with the likes of Chance The Rapper, A$AP Rocky, Tinashe, ScHoolboy Q, and many more before dropping the dancefloor focussed ‘Midnight Music’ EP in 2021. Growing up in Chicago, Nez absorbed the rich musical lineage of the Windy City, and now distils these into his own unique creations and collaborations.

Radio Slave feat. Nez ‘Wait A Minute’ is released on Rekids 26th August 2022.
