"It’s been a big year for the label which has definitely been more house music focused and I really love our growing family of artists," Radio Slave, aka Matt Edwards, tells Mixmag. "It’s been a great pleasure to welcome fresh new talent like the super talented Berlin based Mona Yim, and this year I also got to work with the legendary Munich machine DJ Hell.
"We also had some massive singles from Alinka, Ian Pooley, Mark Broom and of course Dixon’s re-edit of my singe “Wait A Minute”, so it only seemed fitting to name the compilation 'House of Rekids'!"
Whilst still releasing his own work - following his sharing of high-profile tracks 'Grindhouse', 'Another Club' and more over the previous 20 years - Edwards' A&R work curating the sound of Rekids to showcase some of the most intriguing tracks from both acclaimed, and upcoming, artists is epitomised in the V/A which rounds off the imprint's year of releases.
