Matt's 2010 album 'RedHead' (under his 'Machine' pseudonym) was re-issued on Pyramids of Mars as part of a highly collectible deluxe package, including a re-interpretation of the full album by Joe Claussell. The boxset was limited to 50 copies, each hand-painted by Misha Hollenbach, and included triple-vinyl pressings of both Claussell's and Edwards' versions. The release was available exclusively at London's LN-CC store. The first official musical release on Pyramids Of Mars was a collection of Quiet Village remixes. Rekids also hosts regular club nights around Europe, most notably at Berlin's Panorama Bar and the Rex Club in Paris.
