Mark Broom's latest release in the Mutated Battle Breaks series showcases his passion for the Elektron Octatrak, blending it seamlessly with his iconic techno style. This eight-track techno journey is available for digital download and on vinyl, and can be found on the usual outlets.
Rekids Special Projects, the no-nonsense techno-focussed sub-label of Radio Slave, aka Matt Edwards’ Rekids, launched in 2017 and has since released music from the likes of Mark Broom, Luke Hess, Jon Hester, and more.
“An EP packed with eight innovative, rhythm-driven tracks that push the boundaries of the genre. This release shows Broom's decades of expertise, blending raw energy with precision-engineered grooves to create a dynamic and forward-thinking collection.
Opening tune 'Romance' is a colossal banger that sets the tone with its relentless drive and pulsating beats. 'Dated' is a contrasting minimal approach, anchored by a heavy, hypnotic rhythm.
'Movement' shifts into alien sci-fi territory, its propulsive energy and otherworldly sound design creating a cinematic atmosphere.
Other highlights include 'Post' with Broom's ability to craft inventive drum patterns - a truly unique rhythmic experience.
The EP closes with 'Ranger', a tribal powerhouse that's the most intense cut on the record, combining heavy beats and primal energy for a track destined to ignite dancefloors.” - Review from Juno
