Long-time Soma affiliate, Rebekah, teams up with X-Tension for an absolute riotous collaborative new release, the Rancor EP. An aggressive beast, this newly formed partnership wastes no time in hitting hard with an absolutely monstrous 3-track EP. The duo brings brutal, jacking techno weapons from a ferocious new perspective.
In 2020, Rebekah curated the â10×10 Production Challengeâ, which involved setting daily creative objectives for producers to work outside of their comfort zones and deliver a finished arrangement each day.
âI am really honored to present this compilation as an insight to what was achieved within the 10×10 creative
challenge. Connecting once more to music and fellow producers in this way brought much-needed light within a period of uncertainty in the scene and the world as a whole as we fought our way through the pandemic.â â Rebekah
Rebekah and Sydney Blu are opening new doors and more opportunities for women in the music industry. It’s been a constant struggle for female producers and DJs, not getting the recognition they deserve. All of that will change as they launch a campaign to encourage record labels to add more female artists to their roster.
Soma Records are going to be hosting Soma Skool 2021 virtually for the first time on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of February.
Dutch duo Noneoftheabove deliver a Various Artists release on their aptly named THEABOVE RECORDS imprint, featuring seven tracks by 9 artists (themselves included) whose soundscapes are in alignment with the label head’s love for hard, raw and ravey techno.
2020 has been a year of awakening and for others, it’s also been a reckoning. Artists who felt untouchable have been proven quite otherwise. Bassnectar, Billy Kenny, and the late Erick Morillo are among some of the names that surface when it comes to addressing the pervasive issue of sexual violence within the music industry. They’ve all been “canceled” or at least have helped show why it’s (still) important to continue talking about it to bring the dance music industry back to its roots. #ForTheMusic is the first step to creating a safer environment.

Anyone who follows 6AM Group both here on our site and on social media knows just how much we love the Intercell parties that take over the H7 Warehouse during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).
With a focus on the harder, ravier and more discernibly underground styles of techno, the Intercell brand has built a reputation for itself as one of the leading techno event series at ADE, and that is saying a lot given the stellar company they find themselves in every year.
Celebrating 20 plus years since she first stood behind the turntables, Rebekah has established herself as one of the leading exponents of techno currently operating on the global circuit. Her love affair with the harder sounds stretches back to the legendary Que Club in her hometown of Birmingham where she drew influence from the likes of Dave Clarke, Derrick Carter, Richie Hawtin and Billy Nasty.
Every artist, regardless of their discipline, needs to evolve. In fact, it is something inherent within creatives. The need to push the envelope, have new experiences, and share new impulses is deep-rooted, and yearns to be nurtured. That is the position Rebekah found herself in during the early stages of 2016, fast forward to the end of 2018 and we see her busier than after having launched her label/event brand called Elements, debuted her Live show at ADE and continued to tour relentlessly playing both solo and on carefully selected back-to-back performances with Paula Temple.
This weekend Rebekah returns to the United States for three back-to-back dates that will see her perform in Minneapolis on Thursday, November 29th, followed by San Francisco for Robot Ears on Friday, November 30th and finally with WORK by 6AM and Synthetik Minds in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 1st
To believe in Rebekah’s music is to believe in the harder, raw side of techno, and that is sound very dear to our heart. It is with this in mind that we took the opportunity to not only bring her back to Los Angeles but also to have a chat ahead of her upcoming U.S. gigs.
Rebekah is undoubtedly one of the most respected techno acts out there at the moment. With a heavy touring schedule, relentless no-compromise attitude and sound and regular release output through labels such as Soma, MORD and her very own Elements imprint, she has cemented her profile in the eyes of even the most discernible of techno followers.
2018 has also seen the Birmingham-born producer/DJ embark on more back-to-back performances with another well-respected artist in the genre, Paula Temple, playing together at huge festivals such as Awakenings and Dour.
Things are far from over this year for Rebekah, with huge ADE performances lined up both at Awakenings (again alongside Paula Temple), Verknipt and at Melkweg for her friend Dave Clarke’s yearly party. Those gigs will be followed by more announced shows in the Netherlands, as well as Poland, the UK, Sweden and finally back to California, where she is set to play in San Francisco on Nov 30th for Robot Ears, and in Los Angeles on Dec 1st for Synthetik Minds and WORK. You can find her upcoming schedule and all tickets here.
In a recent interview with The Brvtalist, Rebekah looked back at what has been an extremely busy summer discussing a series of important topics relating to her personal career and the music industry.
As the world celebrates International Womenâs Day today, we decided to honor some of the best techno producers and DJs in the game with a specially curated playlist of live sets and mixes.
Totaling over 50 hours of techno, our SoundCloud playlist includes music from some of the most prominent acts in todayâs underground electronic music scene, as well as up-and-coming talent you should be familiar with. You can listen to live sets by Rebekah, Dasha Rush, Charlotte de Witte, Helena Hauff, Nicole Moudaber, Michelle Sparks, Lindsey Herbert and more, as well as guest mixes by Annie Hall, Rrose, Hydrangea, Mary Velo, Anastasia Kristensen, Mirella Kroes, ANNA, Lady Starlight and plenty others.
