The Hacker - Laser & Smoke
The Hacker, an artist known for his tongue-in-cheek approach to electro music, is set to release his latest work, Laser & Smoke (2025), via Rekids. The record blends retrofuturist elements with post-Y2K themes, particularly evident in the track 'Turborave', which features a bass progression paired with 80s drums and vocal shouts. The B-side, 'Harmonia', showcases a glitchy lead that invokes a playful yet grotesque vibe reminiscent of animated shows. Overall, the album is characterised as top-tier electro house music that embraces a fun, unpretentious spirit, underscoring the human quality of the tracks.
Tiger Stripes - I Heard It Through The Bassline
Tiger Stripes' latest release on Radio Slave's Rekids imprint features two techy house tracks. 'I Heard It Through the Bassline' is a fun, disco-infused track with palpable repetition, while 'Everybody's Doing It' is a more delicate, deeper cut. The tracks showcase Tiger Stripes' versatility but may not stand out in the crowded tech-house scene. The release offers a peak-time party track and a chilled-out cooler, making it suitable for the club and workouts.
