German duo Obscure Shape & SHDW drop three robust Techno tracks in their first full release on Rekids this May.

One of the most exciting acts in Techno today, Obscure Shape & SHDW are the founders of From Another Mind - the label and party series making waves in South-Germany. Aside from Rekids, where they remixed Radio Slave’s ‘Vision’ last year, the pair’s abilities in the studio have seen them invited by Slam for two separate remixes of Monoloc and Envoy on Soma, with more projects to be announced.

‘Himmel Und Erde’ is a cavernous cut boasting colossal kicks and skipping percussion before a tantalising melody comes into play. ‘Am Ende Der Welt’ is more deep and atmospheric in comparison, blending dusky percussion with echoing synths until ‘Gefallene Engel’ demonstrates syncopated drums and an otherworldly hook that conjure up a mesmerising aesthetic to conclude the release.

Slam | Sanctuary EP 
[@SOMA 502D] 

1. Conduction
2. Rotation
3. Convection
4. Sanctuary

Slam continue their prolific activity in 2017 with their new 4 tracker, The Sanctuary EP. 

A year of relentless touring hasn’t stopped the Soma label heads from firing on all cylinders with each release, and this latest EP sees the duo turn up the heat once more.

The EP starts off with Conduction, a heady mix of crafted Techno and strong, tripped out melodic rhythms. The rigorous Rotation is up next and goes full tilt, drawing on the main sequenced tones to drive home a powerful and reactionary affair. Slam are always ones for creating great synergy within their releases and do so proficiently as the EP goes deeper with Convection. Subtle, modulating synths lead the charge and perfectly crafted percussive elements remain steadfast throughout. The duo close the EP with the title track Sanctuary. A vibrant, affair packed with pulsating tonality, as classic synthesis methods are used to immense effect.

Arriving as the third outing of Len Faki’s recently established non-profit platform LF RMX, these previously exclusive edits take on a raging classic by courtesy of Frankie Bones, godfather of the North-American rave scene.

The new Hardspace Mix bolsters up the characteristic vocal and synths for even more frantic effect but trades in the percussion for Faki’s signature assault of claps and hats. These also dominate the stripped-back Hardspace Tool, which carefully builds momentum only around the sirens and some seriously sizzling low-end rumble. Both of Faki’s personal mixes capture the orignal’s raw energy, yet manage to appear in both sleek but powerful presence.

As with all releases of LF RMX, the proceeds of this record will be donated to the Berlin charity project Straßenkinder e.V. to be used in actions against child poverty.

The whirlwind force that is Tom Hades and Loose Records team up for the new EP “Goya,” a collection of two new tracks as well as a remix by Hush & Sleep. One of Belgium’s proudest sons, Hades has seen his accomplishments stacked high since starting his own label “Rhythm Convert” in 2004. With tracks released by the likes of Drumcode and MB Electronics, Hades brings world-tour chops to his music, which is on full display with this newest release. Accompanied by Hush & Sleep’s interpretation of the title track, a collaboration that brings out the ethereal, melodic visions of Tom Tonnard and Frankie Decicco to great effect, “Goya” is sure to be a must-have EP for DJs looking to sample the best trailblazers in techno today.
 
“Goya” - Quick-footed high-hats sprint across a backdrop of epic bass drums, laying a track that wastes no time in opening the floodgates for a diverse arrangement of effects that range from dreamy to dungeon dark. Surprising and lively at every turn, the energy levels never take a break on this track, offering a ride that is sure to only get more enjoyable on repeat listens.
 
“Goya (Hush & Sleep Remix)” - Seizing listeners immediately with an opener overflowing with tech house energy, the track punches hard and then opens onto a landscape of nuanced mastery, aiming for higher than a simple club banger and delivering on this goal wonderfully. Exploring the space is important, especially when it comes to remixes, and the artists do exactly this with results that beg for replays again and again.
 
 “Come On” - A riot in deep bass, the terrifically relentless intro on this track pounds earth with a vengeance, embracing the darker shades of techno and coming back with more than memorable results. Kicking off into some deliciously bizarre and inventive vocal productions, one never knows where this track will go next, surrounded by a truly heart-thumping maze of echoes and techno artistry.

Multifaceted artist Patrick Mason and Rekids boss Matt Edwards return with their next release as SRVD, entitled ‘Black On Black’. Since teaming up two years ago, Matt Edwards (Radio Slave) and Patrick Mason have continued to blur the lines between pounding techno and live avant-garde performance under their SRVD alias. Following performances in Barcelona, Melbourne, Berlin London and Tokyo, and with support from the likes of Sven Väth, Rodhad, Chris Liebing, Laurent Garnier and many more. The formidable duo now return to their home imprint, Rekids, with two tracks both recorded in Bordeaux in 2019, using only analogue gear, before being arranged and mixed in Berlin. 

‘Black On Black’ opens with thundering percussion, rising synths, rattling cymbals and alluring vocals from Patrick which elevates the energy and leads you into delightful darkness. On the flip, ‘USB’ pulses with a Roland SH 101 bassline and deep kicks while Patrick’s haunting vocal-work causes an unsettling rhythm that propels you into a warehouse space. 

SRVD ‘Black On Black’ drops on Rekids on 13th March 2020.
