    Magazine Sixty Music Feature with Katerina (Émotsiya / Kotarak)

    Magazine Sixty talks to DJ and producer Katerina about running labels Émotsiya / Kotarak, KULT Helsinki, and music production. Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Katerina. It was a pleasure to review your new single, One EP for Rekids. I love the way the melodies intertwine with the contrasting, tougher drums and keys. Can you talk us…

    Magazine Sixty Music Review with Katerina

    Greg Fenton reviews Katerina – One EP – Rekids Katerina’s One is all things at once. It’s as much about subtle, sublime melody as it is about rigorous dancefloor movement. The former is of keen interest setting this production apart from its contemporaries as keys, chords, and motifs create sensuous atmospheres to find yourself lost…

  • RNDTXTR – Random EP – Rekids

    Music like this doesn’t always work for me. But this certainly does. It’s the brutal, uncompromising drums and bass yet warm musical reflection of its keys which serve RND009 so well. Followed by the equally brisk RND007 (Dub Mix) complete with super-hot snares, then ending via a twist of funkier organ plus accompanying beats on…

  • King Britt presents Sraddha – Believe EP – Stranger In The Night

    It’s records like this that get you refreshed and excited all over again as Dance Music’s electronic soul gets revitalised, injecting fresh sound and ideas into the equation. Believe, twists grainy synthesized sounds through a subtle Acid mangle while pulsating drums leaving you in little doubt. The keys then take centre stage via an excellent…

  • SRVD – ELEVATE – Rekids

    Matt Edwards and Patrick Mason combine talents to produce this temptingly devilish release for the always on point Rekids. In days of easily acquired tame, repetitive instrumentation it’s refreshing to hear spoken words which cause and impact upon your soul. The message in Elevate does just that as the tough, funky and deeply intense rhythms…

  • Mark The 909 King – After Dark – R-Time Records

    Funny to think that After Dark originates from 1995. I could have been made today. Rekids offshoot R-Time Records continues to deliver its neat line in re-issues with the aforementioned punching out shuffling Electro rhythms amid a series of grainy, pulsating kicks and sizzling hi-hats. All offset by the poignant rush of emotive pads which…

  • P. Leone – Chances We Take EP – Rekids Special Projects

    I couldn’t exactly explain why Rekids are quite so important at the moment. Obviously they release music that challenges, excites and moves forward but also perhaps because the simmering, violent intensity produced by P. Leone on Rose Petal Breaks is simply breath-taking. Add to that, at a relevantly short six minutes of brutal drums, brisk…

  • Honoree – Marée Haute EP – Rekids

    I keep on returning to Rekids not least of all because they always have something refreshing to say. Honoree’s sterling new production for the label achieves that sense of wonder through dark, smouldering drums, stunning commanding basslines and deliciously dead-pan vocals that simply drip with atmosphere, painting Dorian with suitably haunting tones. This is just…

  • Radio Slave – Feel The Same – Rekids

    Matt Edwards has of course been busy delivering some of the most thrilling, stimulating music on the planet as Radio Slave, however the purpose of his debut artist album sees those horizons pulled apart beyond expectations. The unnerving ambience generated by the opening, rather beautiful 2nd Home proves it’s not all boom and bust as…
