Radio Slave/Rekids/Rekid

saying radioslave is a monotonous roar is like saying the waves in the ocean are a monotonous roar

for about 2 years his remixes were incredibly monotonous...

Please, can anyone explain the strength of "Dead Souls (Radio Slave Long Distance Kiss Remix)"?? I relistened to it last night because it appears on RA's top 15 remixes and my reaction was still the same: what the fck?

yeahbut you like sasha.

why? he's the man like. hahaha.

heh, you know i never understood that term. what does "the man like sasha" mean, like? he IS sasha, not just like sasha. what am i missing?

I don't get it either :/

Also I'm so pleased that Pipecock has joined ILM.

t'is a thing called sarcasm, I presume.

another year, another pseudo for the man : cabin fever.
seems to be more house flavoured as opposed to the epic techno thing.
anyone else picked this up ?

there's a few of those cabin fever edits now but they're not all matt edwards' work.

heartening to hear that a 'real' quiet village record (not just edits, stuff that's akin to the remixes) is planned for later this year sometime. i thought it might've been all over after the k7 farrago.

^^^ such good news!

is there a tracklisting for 'Works!' yet?

excellent news re quiet village, but will there ever be a radio slave artist album (as opposed to yet another mix cd, or is that expecting too much.
in fact, what happened to Works ?
did it get a release and i missed it ?

don't think it has yet. i did read somewhere, RA perhaps, that he might be retiring the radio slave name - maybe he's waiting for whatever remixes are still unreleased to come out, then the comp will come out as a kind of full-stop.

the upcoming innervisions 12" by 'the machine' is his latest alias, 4 those who don't know. (appears to only be appearing with ame and dixon mixes, so perhaps rekids are doing a release too.)

anyone know about new developments with the quiet village record? they said sometime this year, right???

re Works ! :
reason for delay = Fabric mix.
the deal was that Rekids didn't release any Radio Slave material 3 months before/after the Fabric mix.
so, Works! will be released in 2010.

"cabin fever trax" s&d/c or d?

yeah so i had been on the fence w/r/t lost star since it came out. the stellar sound design always seemed to undermine the deep dark vibes underneath. and in terms of structure, everything seemed to be just running around in circles without any kind of deep groove. but listening again, there's a different sort of depth here that i didn't notice before. it's hitting the exact spot i always wanted it to. i'll have to re-buy made in menorica now. this would sound great in a car.

yet another pseudo.

anyone heard this : http://themachine-redhead.com/

from what i've heard via streams it seems to be dipping into the richard h. kirk world of vocal samples

Never really liked this guy. One of the best engineers out there – all his productions sound so beefy – but I just can't see beyond how one-dimensional everything seems musically. What am I missing?

you're missing the point?

The point being bosh some pills? Want a bit more from someone who gets so much written attention though.

just had the track listing for the long awaited Works set drop into my mail.

too much ?

for once, i think the label have messed up with the artwork for this release.

i love the whole aesthetics of using the same style/font across all previous releases, but the cover for this just looks a bloody mess.

damn. image aint showing. sorry.

its on amazon should you want to see it.

... years later

following a re-org of my digital archive i have come to the conclusion that the best way to experience the REKIDS sound is via the label-centric mixes.
i.e. disc 3 of Revolutions, or the japanese release, 'rekids mixed by radio slave'
of course there is the misch masch/radio disco/tokyo official mixes, but these dilute the purity of the REKIDS sound.

another question that this revival has instigated : REKIDS vs buzzin' fly

both labels were interconnected with artists appearing on each label,
both labels were heavily into design,
both labels were lead by an artist with an agenda/sound,
both labels were dance/electronica/house/techno/maxi/minimal

i loved both labels, but which is best ?

i would set up a poll, but suspect no-one gives a shit about either these days.
