New York’s DJ Spider returns to Rekids with four murky vinyl-only cuts this November.A highly respected label owner, DJ Spider is well known for helming esteemed imprints like Plan B, Sub Level Sounds and BTU music. As a producer he has made appearances on the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, BleeD, KilleKill and Vanguard Sound!, whilst last year saw him make his debut on Rekids. Returning to the imprint, the American artist follows DJ Deep, Jon Hester and FBK for the fourth outing in the Rekids Special Projects vinyl series.Opening with ‘Mobius Strip Revisited’, a squelching bass line and rolling percussive loops underpin ethereal pads and airy atmospheres before an extended keyboard solo plays over inspired chord progressions and a grooved low-end to give ‘Antikythera Mechanism Part 2’ an improvised feel.On the flip we have ‘Sub-Atomic Vibrations’, providing a series of irresistible lead synth melodies and crunchy drum compositions followed by ‘Struggles With Phantoms’, an unrelenting rhythm section lays the foundation for an evolving mid-range giving the release a stylish close.

We had a little pause on our release schedule, but without further delay we present with pleasure the next bomb by our good friend, DJ Spider! Thema 46 was hatched from someone so deeply ingrained in the underground that he barely needs an introduction. From his RA "label of the month" featured imprint Plan B Recordings, to his thoroughly played productions on labels such as Rekids, Killekill and The Trilogy Tapes, DJ Spider has been a mainstay on the murkiest, most disorderly dance floors for years. His sound is characterized by disjointed elements lurching around in a off-kilter yet magnetic way that forces you to move in ways you didn't know you could. From the hell scorched, pitch bent echoes of "The Final Revolution" to the lo-fi groove antics of "Distress Signal", DJ Spider proves once again that no one can do it as perfectly weird as he can.

The NYC DJ and producer spreads his entangled sound signature in three dark techno cuts with a powerful remix from label stalwart Personal Mythologies. Sticky, poisonous and totally captivating. Beware the Spider.

After releases from the likes of Dakini9, Fox and Franklin Da Costa, it was only natural that Jersey City-based label Green Village would turn to DJ Spider for a new 12 inch. Well, it seems natural to us, in any case. The NYC artist is now a respected member of the Big Apple's contemporary house and techno wave, and it's an absolute must for him to be represented on the city's bubbling scene, especially when he's up for firing off tunes like "Space Jungle" and Satsang", two mean, club-minded house bangers with a prominent lower-end. "Divide & Conquer" turns things darker and more ominous thanks to its icy, minimal approach - a cold blend of stripped-back beats and circling bass tones - while "Urantia Of Nebadon" displaces the traditional house framework in favour of a dark, molecular selection of electronic sounds guided by a simple pattern of 4/4 beats. Classic Spider material...

DJ Spider makes his debut on Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint with four physical cuts this June.A key component in New York’s techno scene, over recent years the Plan B Recordings and Sublevel Sounds founder has graced the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, BleeD, KilleKill and Vanguard Sound! Releasing on Rekids as the label celebrates 10 years, Spider’s ‘Ninja Drive-By’ defines why so many hold the American stalwart in such high regard.‘Dirt Nap’ leads the release with syncopated percussion and a thumping low-end that takes no prisoners. ‘TMC’ is a more subdued production in comparison, blending shadowy synths with an intricate drum workout. ‘Planetary DisFunkshun’ then introduces a penetrating melody amongst robust kicks, until ‘Montag’ concludes the package with moody pads and an inimitable rhythm.

Limited to 300. A fourth vinyl release for London label BleeD, and a first full EP from New Jersey based DJ Spider, who runs Plan B and Sublevel Sounds, and has also released on The Trilogy Tapes, Killekill and Nord, occasionally in collaboration with Phil Moffa, Marshalito and Franklin De Costa.
