American DJ, producer and Lone Romantic / Ellum Audio label boss Maceo Plex joins Radio Slave’s Rekids with the ‘Monster’ EP, arriving 28th August 2026.
Maceo Plex opens the ‘Monster’ EP with 'Flute Jam', a muscular, progressive cut with broken beats and subtle chords lighting up the airwaves. Drifting vocals and widescreen synths add great scale to this intergalactic journey while textured bass brings the weight. The hyper-real and aptly named 'Baby Monster' then features vocals from Baby Monsta, refracted through a full-bodied Electro-Techno fusion. The chords dance over fizzing bass, all with future-facing sound design and an outer space atmosphere. Closer 'Cold Flow' is a prickly breakbeat cut with dehumanised, trap-style vocals and precision engineering in the groove. It's a cinematic sound that takes breaks, techno and electro into new realms while retaining a soulful, melancholic core.
Active since the 90s, Maceo Plex haș long been operating in his own musical world, where Electro, Techno and House all fuse into something futuristic and fresh. He's been shaping the underground for three decades as a DJ and producer, but also head of the influential Lone Romantic and Ellum Audio labels. Already this year he has dropped the dark 2-step sounds of his 'The Plan EP' via the latter, which also features Baby Monsta, and continues his purple patch with a standout debut on Rekids that finds him exploring yet more new ground.

&Co. Is a project from multi-hyphenate and Bianca Chandon founder, Alex Olson, pianist, composer and producer Alberto Bof (known for his work on ®Oscar ®Bafta ®Golden Globe and ®Grammy award winning ’A Star is Born’) and DJ/fashion luminary, Paul Takahashi. The trio’s second release, ‘Staycation’ follows 2015’s ‘Best of Friends’, and sees these rare talents create a two-tracker that explores a uniquely evocative, cinematic and dubby Balearic aesthetic.
‘Staycation began as a follow-up to the first EP, Best Friends. Not long after that release, Alex began relocating to New York - a transition that, along with running his businesses, made it difficult for studio sessions. As a result, ‘Staycation’ came together in fragments. The first track was built over a handful of short studio sessions, each only about an hour long, driven by brainstorming and reworking ideas. With Alex away, Alberto and I continued refining the piece in Los Angeles, sharing updates for Alex’s approval until it was completed. The track remained unmastered and was quietly circulated to a small circle as a promotional piece.
The second track, “Lean Like a Cello,” was initially conceptualized together. However, with Alex now based in New York and less available, we completed the arrangement in Los Angeles, sending versions back and forth for Alex’s input and feedback.
Nearly a decade later, the idea resurfaced, and the recordings were finally mastered and released. A friend, Justin Van Der Volgen, handled the mastering. What began as a plan to give the tracks away as a promo evolved when Justin encouraged the group to shop the release. With help from Eric Duncan of Rub N Tug, the music reached Matt (Edwards, aka Radio Slave/ 1/2 of Quiet Village with Joel Martin).
Ten years after the first sessions, Staycation arrives as a document of distance, collaboration, and time. A project shaped as much by separation as by shared intention. ’ (Paul Takahashi, Feb 2026)
A piece of art from a powerhouse creative team operating at the intersection of skate culture, music, design and fashion, ‘Staycation’ by &Co. arrives on The Quiet Village 12” and digital/streaming on March 20th.")

German House artist Oliver Dollar announces his ‘Contemporary’ LP on Rekids, arriving 21st November 2025. Since 2024, he has released four EPs on Radio Slave’s label, featuring collaborations with over a dozen artists and singer-songwriters, supported by the likes of Dam Swindle, Louie Vega, Honey Dijon, Hunee, Kai Alce, and more.
Contemporary stands for what Im playing right now, from deeper tunes to more jacking and booty bangers. Ive been working on this album for the last four years and want to thank all of the collaborators and remixers (so far) involved in making this album happen. Also, big thanks to the Rekids team who gave me full creative control and the stage to bring my favourite artists and friends along for the ride.”
Oliver Dollar
Since 2011, Industry Standard label boss Oliver Dollar has become a trusted name in House music, he was one of the leading proponents of its Fidget subgenre in Berlin at the height of its popularity, propelling him towards releases on labels such as Snatch!, Classic Music Company, and Defected, alongside a reputation as a formidable collaborator that’s worked with the likes of Crazy P, Mousse T, and Todd Edwards. For the ‘Contemporary’ LP, he doubles down on this spirit of partnership, bringing together a transatlantic cast of friends and peers, linking Berlin and Detroit through a shared House vision.
The album begins with ‘The New Is Here’, where Oliver Dollar teams up with Nils Ohrman for a soulful sermon that sets the tone with warmth and gravity, which was previously reimagined into a club-focused dub for ‘Contemporary Part Four’. From there, the mood shifts into ‘Downtown’ with Phil WZK, a deep, Jazz-inflected groove underpinned by a spoken monologue that feels both intimate and eternal.
Vocalists like APROPOS, Boog Brown, and Billy Love then bring soul and gospel fire, while producers including ADMN, Seven Davis Jr., Harvard Bass, Brillstein, and Austin Ato shape grooves that range from Disco-tinged uplift to deep, dubby hypnotism. Rather than a showcase of features, the album flows as one unified statement, a celebration of community, connection, and the timeless energy of House music.
Founded in 2006, Radio Slave’s Rekids has since launched the Techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its latest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as the sole A&R, Rekids has been instrumental in developing emerging artists and remains a trusted home for House and adjacent sounds, recently featuring names such as Hilit Kolet, Tal Fussman, Frankey & Sandrino, Mathias Kaden, Huxley, and many more.
Oliver Dollar’s ‘Contemporary’ LP on Rekids is a genuine team effort, bringing together some of the brightest voices and producers for a masterpiece that seamlessly blends modern and classic House, Dub, and Disco.")

Out now: https://orcd.co/rkd017
Sardinia-based producer ProOne79 joins forces with Milan-based artist MAGNVM! on the ‘Black Jack’ EP, landing on REK’D on 20th March 2026. Rooted in acid lines and old-school house and techno traditions, the pair draw on a shared reverence for the foundations of Chicago and Detroit while pushing their sound into darker, contemporary territory. ProOne79 has released music on labels including Nervous, Trax Records, Circus Recordings, and Laurent Garnier’s Cod3 QR, earning support from selectors such as Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, and Joseph Capriati, while MAGNVM! operates within the deeper, stranger edges of House and Minimal, with releases on Dirtybird, Farris Wheel, This Ain’t Bristol, and Box Of Cats.
ProOne79 and MAGNVM!’s ‘Black Jack’ EP opens with ‘Nobody Else’, a dubby, chugging cut built around pinging analogue kicks and a throbbing bassline that sways with intent. Old-school spoken-word snippets nod to Windy City heritage, while haunting synth lines drift in the background, adding a darker edge.
‘Feel Free’ follows, leaning into classic jacking territory with distorted bass, cowbells, and razor-sharp hi-hats, as menacing vocal fragments lurk beneath squealing alarm stabs designed for dark rooms and flashing strobes.
Closing track ‘Back’ keeps the pressure high with chunky, heavyweight drums, rubbery kicks, and a sparse, raw arrangement of glitchy percussion and fragmented vocals, delivering a no-frills underground finish that reflects the duo’s shared vision.")

Out now: orcd.co/rkd021
Scottish DJ, producer and Johnny Johnny Records boss Modat makes his debut on Radio Slaves REKD with the Dashin EP, arriving 21st August 2026. He kicks things off with Still Dashin, a dubbed-out adventure complete with glitchy stabs, acid licks and a subtle shuffle through its straight house groove. Its followed by Phreak Out, which places a playful spoken-word vocal alongside its wonky low-end, before Thawber delivers another deep and stripped-back cut. Closing the EP, Dish Dash pairs futuristic modular bleeps with a tight late-night rhythm to round off the release in style.
“I dont tend to overthink the why behind making music. I just enjoy sitting down, making tunes, and seeing where it leads. With the Dashing EP, the only real brief was to make four records that felt built for the club: energetic, functional, and each with its own personality. Listening back, I can hear a bit of my older Nico Mendez sound creeping back in, which wasnt intentional. But Im not arguing with it either.” — Modat
Glasgows Modat, aka Beau You Know, has been a fixture of the UKs underground house and techno scene since 2010. Alongside appearances at venues and festivals including The Berkeley Suite, The Mash House, Hideout Festival and Platform 18, he heads up Johnny Johnny Records, launched in 2017, and its sister imprint Rhythm.")

Greece’s Echonomist, aka Petros Manganaris, returns to Rekids with the ‘My Religion’ EP, arriving 30th January 2026 and featuring collaborations with OVEOUS and Ede. It follows his 2025 remix for Frankey & Sandrino, which won plays from HAAi, John Digweed, Auntie Flo, and more, alongside recent music on labels like Habitat, Innervisions, and its sublabel, Exit Strategy.
Echonomist’s ‘My Religion’ EP opens with the title track, where he teams up with Hyper Soul founder OVEOUS for a loopy, hypnotic cut driven by an alarm-like sequence and tripped-out spoken word vocal. OVEOUS returns on ‘We Surrender’, adding psychedelic, warped phrases over deep bass and an infectious clap-led groove. On the flip, Echonomist joins fellow Innervisions artist Ede for ‘The Heat’, a heavy-hitting, party-starter packed with larger-than-life sirens, big snare rolls, and funky sample work. Petros closes the EP solo with ‘Master Groove’, pairing the drums back while echoing spoken lines ride above an irresistible bassline, rounding off a versatile release built to land with adventurous listeners and on peak-time floors alike.
Greek DJ, producer, and live performer Petros Manganaris became Echonomist in 2008 and has since become known for his prolific output on labels Innervisions, Afterlife, Kompakt, TAU, and more, alongside collaborations with the likes of WhoMadeWho and numerous top-tier remix projects for Âme, Ry X, and Stephan Bodzin.")
