 | RA Review Radio Slave and James Masters' Rekids label is well known for relatively straightforward, driving 4/4 with character and quality, but their success can also be attributed to the variety of flavours they do it in. Bringing the partnership of Matt Tolfrey and Christopher Sylvester in was a smart move,..

He had a bit of an experimental 1/2 hour or so around 7am but went straight back into moronic modern loop house to close (90% of which had "that groove", that is so unaturally forced into this crap)
Shame because Rekid used to be a great label, but yeah it seems like most of their output is lacking any depth or soul of late. Nina kraviz is the obvious exception.

| #6 / Mon, 27 Dec 10 03:01 by the way, does Matt always plays around 135+ bpm?
when i saw him it was a disaster... he speeded up all the tracks to the max... 'Hurt' sounded like an Alvin & the Chipmunks track...

| #7 / Tue, 04 Jan 11 13:02 Have to agree with some of you - forgettable, loopy conga house, although Touch The Toes is better, if still a little generic.
Overall no different to anything out of Mannheim since 08, and plenty of stuff on 8 Bit, Cecille and Oslo nailed this sound much better.
Nearly anything by Oxia or Gorge from that period, for example.
Big shame.
