The hotly anticipated debut of Radio Slave and Patrick Mason’s crucial new project

Matt Edwards has been a very busy man in electronic music for a long time now. Best known as Radio Slave and label boss of the mighty Rekids, he’s been pushing all kinds of tempos and styles to critical acclaim. From the low slung broken beats of Quiet Village to the jazz infused soundscapes of Makon, his collaborative projects have been a vital addition to his prolific output over the years. His latest project sees Edwards team up with Patrick Mason – the broadly talented graphic designer, model and spoken word performer.
Together, Edwards and Mason present SRVD, which has already scored a major hit with “The Yard Man” – one of those ubiquitous club bombs with a hooky vocal presence that landed in the bags of scores of DJs. Now they’re taking SRVD on the road, and Contact is thrilled to host the Japanese debut of their collaborative live set. As well as that set, Edwards will don his Radio Slave guise for a sharp-shooting DJ set spanning the breadth of his distinctive take on house and techno traditions. It promises to be another unforgettable, unpredictable night on the Studio X floor.
