Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS193

Following two stand-out EPs on the techno-focussed Rekids Special Projects throughout 2021, the Venezuelan-born, Bogota-based Confidential Recipe readies his debut appearance on parent-label Rekids. With three killer originals, including a collaboration with Manao and accompanied by a remix from Gene Richards Jr, the EP solidifies Confidential Recipe’s growing vitality in the South American techno scene and beyond.

‘Dance’ leads the ‘The Bridge EP’, with commanding vocals, organ licks and knocking drums preceding a dramatic tempo change in the breakdown. Fresh off the back of releases Truncate’s WRKTRX, Gene Richards Jr flips ‘Dance’ into a funk-laden techno pumper, with the vocals sliced and manipulated around fresh dub techno inspired chords.

On the flip, ‘Come (Dub Mix)’ kicks off the B side, marrying shimmering pads, razor-sharp kicks, and trance-inducing low end for a deep and rolling cut. Rounding out the EP is ‘Come (Breaks Mix)’ produced in collaboration with Berlin-based Manao, and sees the duo add dense breakbeats, rave stabs, and heaving sub hits over elements of the original for a rowdy affair.

Luuk van Dijk - Many Moons
Melon - She Was

Heatstroke alert! To celebrate the summer, Utrecht based record label Something Happening, Somewhere decided to release no less than three digital compilations in the coming weeks. Celebrate the summer with SoHaSo.

Part one of the summer series contains four tracks. We asked those involved to look back on their contributions in their own words.

Eefje De Visser & Nuno Dos Santos - Wit Blad (Mattheis Remix)
Nuno: "This track is almost four years old and was only available on vinyl. Now it's available digitally for the first time. Our dear friend Mattheis remixed Wit Blad and gave it a strong hypnotic vibe. It contains those Mattheis' trademark synth swirls. Soothing and driving with spine-tingling harmonics slowly creeping in and out."

Wanderist - Under The North Sea (1 half of Dam Swindle) "This is the sort of dubby non-dance electronica that I love to make", says Wanderist. "Tracks like these exist in a world of their own and let the listener slowly drift away into whatever vibe they feel coming up. The track feels completely effortless and at ease with itself; traits that I also value very much in the people close to me."

Luuk van Dijk - Many Moons
Luuk: "I was listening to a podcast with DJ Benny Rodrigues and he mentioned a tune from E-Dancer, a track that had inspired him in the past. Then I listened to that tune and thought wooooooow, I want to make this kind of shit too. Then I started jamming and improvising in the studio. Many Moons was recorded in one take."

Melon - She Was
Melon: "I made this many moons ago with emotions of a forbidden love between two star signs who didn't connect because of being opposites in needs of compassion. They say opposites attract. I guess it does but not in the long run."
