Techno titans Robert Hood and Radio Slave have officially joined forces for the first time, delivering a powerful new collaboration titled ‘Radio Hood’. This significant release serves as a dual milestone, marking both the 300th catalog entry for the esteemed Rekids label and the celebration of its 20th anniversary.
Scheduled for release on October 16th, 2026, the project sees the two artists pushing the boundaries of their signature sounds. While both are deeply rooted in the history of electronic music, ‘Radio Hood’ moves beyond traditional minimalist frameworks, opting instead for a maximalist approach characterized by sweeping, cinematic synths and intricate textures. For Robert Hood, this collaboration represents his first major output since the 2021 EP ‘The Blueprint,’ signaling a fresh chapter in his storied career.
A Milestone for Rekids
Reflecting on the creative process, Robert Hood noted, “When two creative minds align, miraculous things can happen. It’s been an absolute privilege to collaborate with Radio Slave and contribute something meaningful to the culture.”
Since its inception in 2006 by Radio Slave and James Masters, Rekids has solidified its reputation as a cornerstone of the global techno scene. The label has been instrumental in shaping the careers of influential artists such as Mr G, Peggy Gou, Eddie Fowlkes, DJ Deep, and Nina Kraviz. Robert Hood has long been a vital part of this ecosystem, contributing a steady stream of remixes, EPs, and LPs to the label since 2015.
The ‘Radio Hood’ release is a testament to the label's enduring influence and its ability to foster high-level artistic partnerships. Fans can pre-order the release now to experience this fusion of two distinct, yet complementary, techno visions.
