Hacker & Rein - We Come Alive 12" (Preorder: Ships July 3, 2026)

French producer The Hacker joins forces with vocalist, songwriter, and producer Rein for 'We Come Alive' on Rekids. A longstanding figure within the underground, The Hacker helped shape the early electroclash movement through his analog-heavy sound and influential releases on labels including Turbo Recordings and Dark Entries, while Rein has built an international reputation through a darkwave-influenced sound that blurs underground and crossover electronics, alongside releases on Boysnoize Records and live appearances with Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.Built as a tribute to the dance floor 'We Come Alive' explores the feeling of liberation and connection that only exists late at night. Think an Alison Moyet-inspired vocal over stripped-back machine funk somewhere between LFO and Kraftwerk.' - The Hacker & ReinThe Hacker & Rein's 'We Come Alive' pairs sharp, angular rhythms with punishing low-end pressure as acid lines twist through scintillating percussion and jacked-up drums. Amid the machine-heavy intensity, Rein's vocals cut through the mix with clarity and emotion, lending a euphoric edge to the track's raw, strobe-lit energy.
