Kingpin Cartel, Mark Broom, and CJ Baker's joint House alias debuts on Rekids this November with the "Long Dark Soul Of The Night" four-tracker. The EP starts with the title track, a playful, funk-fuelled cut with squelchy licks and soulful keys. Next, Kingpin Cartel's "Moonrise" leads with strong percussion that lay underneath a smooth swinging piano riff. "You Are" then dives deep, perfectly blending emotive synth chords with an undeniably weighty house beat before "Shakedown" closes the "Long Dark Soul Of The Night EP" with a quirky synth line and an infectious bassline that firmly keeps it old-school.

Mark Broom is a UK dance music legend with releases on labels like Warp, M-Plant, and Hardgroove. He returns to Rekids as one of its core artists, joining CJ Baker, a producer known for EPs on Innervisions, Emissions Lo-Fi, Well Rounded, and many more. Founded in 2005, their Kingpin Cartel alias has been releasing on Nic Fanciuli's Saved Records as well as Mark Broom's Rewired, Pure Plastic, and Beardman imprints, now landing on Radio Slave's flagship label with the "Long Dark Soul Of The Night EP."
