Radio Slave has created a very special mix inspired and influenced by his DJ sets in Tokyo for the 3 Snapshots series and copies are being posted for free to the public. Visit www.3Snapshots.com and register for a FREE 3 Snapshots: No.1 Tokyo CD/DVD while stocks last.
Tokyo is a futuristic city full of bright lights and big ideas, at the heart of what's fascinating and what's new. Between 9 - 15 March 2009 mobile network 3 headed to Tokyo for Snapshot No. 1 with a team of the UK's top journalists and bloggers to meet the trailblazers leading innovation in Tokyo, going off the beaten track to get an inside take on the world capital of invention and ideas. Their insights are revealed on the 3 Snapshots DVD with a CD on the flip side featuring an exclusive Radio Slave mix, his first compilation in two years. Team Tokyo also reported live for 3Snapshots.com via multi-media blogs and the internet-friendly and award winning INQ¹ mobile.
Voted producer of the year 2008 by DJ Mag, Radio Slave - aka Matt Edwards - is a man whose talent doesn't seem to end. He is a true musical innovator with a wide fan base anticipant of his many ideas. His productions, remixes and DJ sets never miss a beat because his ideas never stop. A resident at Fabric exclusively in London, Radio Slave also holds a quarterly residency for his label Rekids at Panorama Bar (recently voted number one club in the world) in his home of Berlin. Radio Slave tours the world every week and is currently on his third tour of Japan within a year, indicating both his love for the country and their love of him.
"Japan is a truly magical country and it would be my first recommendation if asked about a place I love visiting more than any other. It really is like being on another planet. Everything seems familiar but when you look closely you'll see a country that is so unique. For me Tokyo is definitely the best place in the world for shopping. It's a place where a big consumer of fashion, art and toys, like me, can still be educated. The historical sites such as the temples in Kyoto are really worth checking out and of course I couldn't write about Japan without mentioning the nightlife. This country has the sickest clubs in the world with sound systems to match and some of the craziest party people I've ever seen in my life. The Japanese, it would seem, really throw themselves into their obsessions more than most and this is why I love Japan."
Delivering an atypical mix for 3 Snapshots, Radio Slave has concocted an enriched and visceral blend of music, flirting with the boundaries of house and roughly inserting his stamp of twisted techno. The mix features exclusive upfront material from Radio Slave's own Rekids imprint including tracks from Baeka and the debut release from WCS, 'Hot Beef' plus an exclusive track from Dancefloor Disorder on Eskimo Recordings, not set for release until next October. Get Physical's Noze and hot talent The Mole sit alongside a slew of fresh talent, while remixing duties come from Daniel Stefanik, Henrik Schwarz and Radio Slave himself.
Classed as one of the greatest remixers of all time, Radio Slave's touch has marked the work of artists like Talking Heads, Danny Tenaglia, Kylie Minogue, Carl Craig, DJ Hell, Tiefschwarz, Gwen Stefani, Elton John and Sasha. His productions are among the biggest selling of the vinyl world, anthems such as last year's 'Bell Clap Dance' and 'Grindhouse' bringing him more international acclaim. His label, Rekids is a defining imprint of this era, tackling a diverse spectrum of electronic realms and continually treading fresh paths.
A voice to the dance music community, this year Radio Slave has been selected as a speaker at the 2nd International Music Summit - a music industry conference headed by Pete Tong - and chosen to lecture again at the Red Bull Music Academy, taking place in India. With a forthcoming single on his label Rekids as Radio Slave, he also has a 'REKID' artist album in the works, one of his leftfield guises alongside Quiet Village (a coproduction with Joel Martin), who delivered a monster debut album last year on !K7. Radio Slave is also working on 'WORKS!', a forthcoming triple CD collection of some of his favourite remixes and will launch a new sublabel, 'REK'D' next month, including releases from Dustin Zahn, Len Faki, The Echologist (Brendon Moeller), Paul Harris & Alex Tepper. The next Rekids Label Night will celebrate their 3rd Birthday at Panorama Bar on Friday 29th May with Radio Slave, Marcel Dettmann, Spencer Parker, Gerd Janson, James Masters.
