Maryland-based producer Rekoil has resurfaced following a brief period away from the spotlight, and the diverse 10-track Redemption for Uplink Audio proves that he’s been hard at work in the lab.
With an ever-impressive approach to bass music as a whole, Rekoil draws from a wide range of influences, merging heavy bass music and hip-hop into a genre all his own dubbed “mech-hop.” Having solidified his name in the bass music scene during the rise of robo-step, Rekoil builds on his roots and continues to inspire and progress the genre as a whole.
Similarly, each track on the album builds on the last and takes listeners on a twisted musical journey that is sure to satisfy fans that have been there from the beginning. Peppered with Rekoil’s signature heavy, robotic sound, collaborations with artists like Android No. 23, Ugly Bundy, Nightmare, A-Cross, and P.Keys offer up a glimpse into the producer’s love for underground hip-hop, which he effortlessly weaves into the proceedings.
The album is testament not only to the capabilities of the young producer but of the future that his sound is already evolving towards. If you’re new to the sounds of Rekoil, welcome to the loyal mass of mech-hop lovers. This is one is out now on Uplink Audio, so get to rockin’!
