“Rekids”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The label releases on a variety of formats, including vinyl, CD and digital. All singles in the Rekids catalogue are released on vinyl as well as digitally. Albums and compilations are available on both CD and digital. Releases on Rekids sub-label REK'D are digital only, with the exception of the first release REK'D001 - Dustin Zahn - Stranger (To Stability) which was also released on vinyl.^[3] REKIDS006CD, The Machine's (aka Matt Edwards) debut album 'RedHead' was also released on vinyl and is part of a wider collaborative project incorporating audio and visuals by Misha Hollenbach, one half of art and design duo Perks and Mini (P.A.M.).^[4]

REKIDS010CD, Nina Kraviz's debut album was also released as a double-vinyl with gatefold sleeve as well as on CD.^[5]

The label also takes special care with the artwork for each release, working mostly with Brighton-based 'Red Design'.^[6] Over the years, the label has aimed to develop an identity through its artwork as well as the music it releases.

In 2011 Radio Slave collaborated with Japanese toy maker Devilrobots to create a Rekids-themed toy 'No Sleep No Tofu'. The toy is a Japanese Kubrick figure produced by MediCom - a small, limited edition collector's item with a block-style human form similar to Playmobil or Lego. The head of the figure is a detachable block which features the sleeve design for REKIDS036 - Radio Slave - No Sleep (Part Six). After the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in early 2011, Rekids decided to donate all proceeds of the sales of the toy to support Red Cross relief efforts in Japan.^[7]

2012 saw the launch of the 'Pyramids Of Mars' label - a multimedia project that involves the releases of books, films and other collector's items along with music. Matt's 2010 album 'RedHead' (under his 'Machine' pseudonym) was re-issued on Pyramids of Mars as part of a highly collectible deluxe package, including a re-interpretation of the full album by Joe Claussell. The boxset was limited to 50 copies, each hand-painted by Misha Hollenbach, and included triple-vinyl pressings of both Claussell's and Edwards' versions. The release was available exclusively at London's LN-CC store. The first official musical release on Pyramids Of Mars was a collection of Quiet Village remixes.

Rekids also hosts regular club nights around Europe, most notably at Berlin's Panorama Bar and the Rex Club in Paris.
