RADIO SLAVE

Radio Slaves' Matt Edwards is the central figure of the current British progressive house revival. An influential figure in dance circuits, in the last five years Edwards has ascended to the pinnacles of house music through a cavalry of aliases that include Radio Slave, REKID, and the Quiet Village Project (with Joel Martin). Radio Slave has an uncanny ear for bringing together all the major eras of house and techno – from Chicago jack-house to Detroit analog techno, from British progressive house to more minimal German strains – and blending them together into music that sounds altogether new yet inspiringly familiar. Edwards has also cultivated a talented roster of like-minded producers at his REKIDS label, which has become an indicator of high quality for dance music enthusiasts the world round through singles by Luke Solomon (also known as one-half of The Freaks), Toby Tobias, Mr. G, and Spencer Parker.

QUIET VILLAGE

After three sought-after singles on the Whatever We Want label plus remixes for the likes of Gorillaz, François K and Cosmo Vitelli, Quiet Village step out of the shadows to present their first full-length album, ’Silent Movie’. Comprised of master crate-digger Joel Martin and rising house-music star Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave), and borrowing their name from Martin Denny’s exotica masterpiece, Quiet Village make the old sound new (and vice versa). Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, BBC library music, disco edits, acid rock, vintage soul and easy listening, they meld the unlikeliest elements-bluesy guitar, chamber strings, air-raid sirens, shuffling breakbeats, even flutes and seagull cries-into the most gorgeous music you will hear all year!
