RekaB – Random Fragments EP [YRE-054]
ReKaB drops a strong four-track EP, rooted firmly in the Detroit sound with a nod to the soulful techno styles that shaped the UK underground in the 90s. This is his second EP for Cologne’s YORE Records. The production, as always, is spot on—sharp, detailed, and endlessly listenable. While the tracks carry the weight of tradition, they’re not stuck in it. There’s a fresh, forward-facing energy here that keeps things exciting.
ReKaB – Music Makes It Better EP [WWM007]
Classy Italian label Where We Met unveil a new signing on their seventh release, which also marks the mysterious ReKaB’s debut. His skills belie that newbie status, because this is atmospheric techno with emotional and musical depth. “2019” is a real highlight with its twitchy synths and breezy electro grooves making for a pensive vibe before things cut loose on warm and rubbery house jam “The Hassle”. The ambient synths that colour these tracks is what make them standout, and closer “Self-Destruct” is a prime example of that. “Music Makes It Better” is a title we can all relate to, and in the case of this track, it sure is a beautiful place to be.
