Rekids

Rekids is an independent UK record label focused on electronic dance music that draws on techno, house, and disco. Conceived in 2006 by Matt Edwards, also known as Radio Slave, and James Masters, the label has built its identity around club-oriented releases that move between driving techno, stripped-back house, and disco-leaning grooves, often with an emphasis on DJ-friendly versions and remixes.

From its beginnings, Rekids has been closely associated with Edwards’ work as Radio Slave, with his projects helping to define the label’s sound and profile. The roster has also included a set of core artists, among them Nina Kraviz, reflecting the label’s connection to contemporary underground dance music rather than a single subgenre or scene. Alongside its own artist releases, Rekids has regularly presented remixes and reinterpretations, positioning the label as a platform where established producers and DJs engage with each other’s material.

The label’s catalogue is marked by contributions from a wide range of electronic artists. Rekids has released original work and remixes from figures such as Carl Craig, DJ Sneak, Kenny Larkin, Claude VonStroke, Josh Wink, Steve Lawler, Slam, and Dubfire, names that point to its orientation toward house and techno traditions with international reach. In more recent contexts, artists associated with the label include Oliver Dollar, Tiger Stripes, Hilit Kolet, CASSIMM, Kameelah Waheed, Tal Fussman, and Monty Luke, illustrating an ongoing interest in both established club producers and newer voices working within the same broad electronic spectrum.

Rekids operates from the UK and maintains an online presence through its official website, rekids.com. While its releases span different shades of dance music, the label’s through-line remains a commitment to functional, club-focused electronic records shaped by the overlapping histories of house, techno, and disco.
