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.

London-based duo TMPLE release ‘Eyes On Me’ via Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion, with remixes from Made By  Pete and Cristina Lazic.  

Musicians, producers and childhood friends Charlie Jordan and James Fitz-Gibbon have honed their talents within  the studio over the past two years, shaping their deep and melodic sound palette as electronic duo TMPLE.  Featuring twice on Hot Since 82’s album ‘Recovery’ alongside material via Circus and Moon Harbour, the pair have  gained support from artists such as Jamie Jones, Christian Nielsen and Damian Lazarus - with the Rebellion boss  welcoming them for their label debut’ Eyes On Me’, featuring remixes from Crosstown regular Made By Pete and  fellow Rebellion talent Cristina Lazic. 

“‘Eyes On Me’ was a track made for the dancefloor. It started with the bassline and drums, but we wanted  to give the track some real personality, something that would capture the audience’s attention. That’s  when we added the synth line on the prophet. Once the vocals were in, it came together in only a few  hours. Months later, we were sent a video of Damian playing it out in Tulum b2b with Jamie Jones at Day Zero  festival. The track was always intended to be played by DJs like Damian and Jamie in these environments,  so seeing that clip and the reaction and then for Damian to reach out wanting to sign the record was a  great feeling.” - TMPLE.  

Blooming synths, organic drums and Fitz-Gibbons’ striking vocals take hold of ‘Eyes On Me’ as the pair deliver a  trip through resonant soundscapes and bright melodies to showcase a hypnotic production. Made By Pete’s remix  comes next, taking up a slightly moodier aesthetic guided by sweeping sonics, before Cristina Lazic’s take builds  on an infectious groove to inject new energy for late-night hours.
