ReKaB - My Future and my Past EP [Yore Records]

Celebrating the 50th release on Yore! Wohooo! It came so fast. ReKaB delivers something special for this occasion. It's easy to forget that, at its core, Techno strives for a better future. This new four-tracker EP of connoisseur-grade repetitive beats by ReKaB (aka James Baker) reminds us of this with a reverent nod to the past and a look forward to a human-centric tomorrow.

Tradition is a significant part of ReKaB's sound. Classic timbres run through all the tracks, but what James does so well is how he deploys and contrasts the elements. Piano chords superimpose midnight soul over a syncopated bass. Comforting strings and ethereal pads enhance your consciousness while your body remains rooted by the square waves of the Techno City. The dialogue between acid lines and synth patterns feels like machines interacting, while the ever-present thump of the 909 adds the indispensable dancefloor framework.

Throughout the EP, ReKaB displays a profound knowledge and respect for the art form, proving he is nothing short of a master of the craft. Strictly limited to 250 copies worldwide (no repress). Grab yours while they last!
