REKIDS 007CD
|
UK production legend, Mr G, releases his debut solo album on Radio Slave's infamous Rekids imprint. Mr G was once one-half of The Advent (with Cisco Ferreira), producing ground-breaking releases, remixes and albums, and touring the world with their intense, relentless style of techno; selling tens of thousands of records. Mr G went alone in 1999, founding his own label Phoenix G, creating a unique brand of analog, bass-heavy, electronic tech-funk, which immediately attracted props from his peers and the music press alike. In 2006, Mr G hooked up with Rekids and released the fourth-ever EP for the label -- E.C.G.'ed, followed by U Askin? in 2007 and Makes No Sense in 2008. Four years later, he releases his debut solo album on the Rekids imprint. "I had known Matt (Radio Slave) for years, via mutual respect for each others' music, so it was great to work with him. I truly feel that the Rekids crew do it right." Mr G still uses his MPC and does his cuts and drops for the album LIVE. Mr G loves to take a risk with the analog -- how high, how low, will it distort -- it's all part of the Mr G sound.

REKIDS 013EP
|
Mr G makes a triumphant return to Rekids with U Askin'?, an incredible record that has been destroying every dancefloor from South Beach to Shoreditch and Berlin to San Paulo. "U Askin'?" builds and builds from the outset and will soon be so embedded into your brain you'll need surgery. Live sweeps and sirens will have you dancing like World War III is kicking off around you. Marcel Dettmann, Berlin's king of the underground delivers a killer alternative.

REKIDS 004EP
|
"It should be no surprise to anyone that E.C.G'ed is a brilliant piece of stripped down, rolling Detroit-influenced deep techno. Acid undertones supply the backbone to this brooding groove, followed closely by layers of sharp percussion and instantly recognizable live analog effects. Coupled with the huge disco horn section make this subtle but dark beast into somewhat of an epic! It would only be right for Matt to get in on the action and his remix under his Rekid alias is an exceptional alternative to what is already a class A-side producing a hypnotic floor-filler."
