RADIO SLAVE + Saygun

On September 26, ((Sound Room)) welcomes one of the defining figures of contemporary electronic music: Radio Slave. As Radio Slave, amongst other monikers, Matt Edwards has made some of the defining music of modern club culture. It’s not only his production and DJ work that makes Edwards so revered though, his label REKIDS has been hugelyprolific and respected since its inception in 2006. Aside from his handful of appearances on leading imprints like Running Back and R&S, as well as some much-loved remixes, Edwards has concentrated the vast majority of his output to his own label. This approach has given him an instantly-recognisable and singular discography, a go-to artist for DJs across the house and techno worlds. With REKIDS, he has been driving fresh talent to the forefront, including some of the industry’s biggest names like Nina Kraviz. Diving into the back catalogue is like a house and techno encyclopedia: Robert Hood, Joe Claussell, Mr G, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Gerd Janson, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, Len Faki, Mike Banks (Underground Resistance) and many more have all released music under the label’s banner, gaining a highly-devoted following.
