Put the needle on the rekid
rekid - lost star (mp3)
rekid - legend (mp3)
whilst perusing hype machine for any killer cuts from favourite producers i may have missed i was completly amazed to see only two tracks posted across the mp3 blogosphere for what is far and away the dance album of 2006 so far, rekid’s “made in menorca”. i immdeiately became worried that such a glorious collection of music could possibly have been criminally overlooked, so i thought it best to bring to your collective attention with two tracks which should open your mind to this fresh sound.
rekid is matt edwards’ cosmic k-hole solo show, and home of some of his most impressive work to date. drawing influence from carl craig, j dilla and kenny dixon jr amongst many others, it successfully manages to cast a brand new light on an old sound, and anyone who’s had the pleasure to listen through will surely rank it high in their end of year charts. this year’s wearemonster? i think so - and i would strongly suggest that you pick it up here.
altough the picture might seem bizzare, it’s from his myspace page, so i’m assuming this is matt’s cat! having recently become a cat owner myself i’m finally starting to notice how completely endearing (and scarily power-hungry) they are.

Gavin added these pithy words on Jul 25 06 at 5:54 pmThere seems to be a lot of snap, crackle and pop on the ‘Legend’ track. Is it intentional or did you get a bad vinyl/cd rip? Nice track though, and the other which I already had.
Kev added these pithy words on Jul 26 06 at 1:40 pmhey gavin - it’s a perfect cd rip, all the texture is intentional, you wanna hear the whole album it’s totally rich
