DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP OF Pumpin Bass Heavy House / Tech house - UK producer and DJ Huxley return’s to Rekids with the ‘Pinball Skizzard’ EP, arriving 10th April 2026.
It follows last year’s ‘MIND G%MES’ EP, which marked his debut on Radio Slave’s label and won support from artists including Enzo Siragusa, Jennifer Loveless, Carista, and Laurent Garnier. Active for over two decades, the Dumb Safari label boss has left his mark, founding the online R Trybe community with Ramin Rezaie/BAKKIS, while boasting label credits including Aus, 20/20 Vision, and collaborator Steve Bug’s Poker Flat.
Huxley opens the ‘Pinball Skizzard’ EP with ‘Pinball’, setting the tone with a hefty House groove, anchored by cavernous bass, and brought to life by old-school vocal touches and bright sax motifs that inject warmth and energy into the mix. ‘Heaven’ follows with a buoyant rhythm, pairing glowing chords and twinkling melodic details with deep, dubby low-end pressure designed to keep bodies locked in motion. ‘Deep Down’ shifts into a slinkier back-room groove, rich in atmosphere and soulful vocal fragments that underline its timeless house feel. Closing track ‘Felix’ rounds things out with a percussive roller built around vocal snippets and subtle tribal accents, delivering a stripped-back but effective finale that fits neatly within the Rekids aesthetic.
A welcome return to REKIDS from Michael Dodman AKA Huxley, a producer whose tech-tinged take on house has appeared on countless cool labels over the years (think Poker Flat, 20:20 Vision, Aus and Shall Not Fade). On his follow-up to last year's excellent Mind Games EP, Dodman delivers a quartet of typically muscular, peak-time ready grooves. He begins with the rolling, thickset and sax-laden warehouse thumper 'Pinball', before wrapping dreamy synth-strings and tight piano stabs around a bustling groove on 'Heaven'. 'Deep Down' sees him blur the boundaries between dusty deep house and warming garage-house, while 'Felix' is a sub-heavy fusion of weighty dub disco and hypnotic, acid-tinged tech-house.
