ReKaB – The Last Talk Of The Machines

Irish producer James Baker aka ReKaB left behind a striking final statement with this four-track EP for Yore, submitted just weeks before his sudden passing. Known for deep, Detroit-infused techno and house, he delivers a set that feels both spacious and immediate. 'What We Need To Do' opens with patient chords and pulsing low end, while 'The Last Talk Of The Machines' rolls with motorik drive and flickering atmospherics. On the flip, 'Finding That Path' takes a more searching route through layered pads and sturdy kicks, and 'Don't Fall In The Dark' closes with bittersweet melodies over a muscular frame. It's a poignant farewell, encapsulating ReKaB's sensitivity to groove and texture, and a reminder of his quietly powerful presence within the underground.
