Celebrating the 50th release on Yore. Wohooo. Went so fast. ReKaB delivers something special for this occasion. It’s easy to forget that, at its core, Techno hopes for a better future. This new four-track EP of connoisseur-grade repetitive beats from ReKaB (AKA James Baker) reminds us of this with a reverent nod to the past and a look forward to a human-centred tomorrow.
Tradition is a big part of the ReKaB sound. Classic timbres run through all the tracks, but what James does so well is how he deploys and contrasts the elements. Piano chords layer late-night soul over syncopated bass. Comforting strings and ethereal pads upgrade your consciousness while your body remains rooted by Techno City square waves. Call and response between acid lines and synth patterns feel like the machines interact, whilst the ever-present 909 thump adds the all-important dance floor framework.
Throughout the whole EP, ReKaB shows deep knowledge and respect for the art form, proving he is no less than a master of the craft.

Superb material! Deep, lush, spacey sounds executed with a fine ear for arrangement and carefully balanced elements. Some of the tracks remind me of Derek Carr, which for me is a very high compliment. Check it out y'all! Highly recommended. Mammalsounds

Stellar collection of tracks. Abyssignal has vibes of M500s all-time classic The Passage, G-Prod taking us into the deep space network to the bubble metropolis. da5idh
