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 I'm playing right now, from deeper tunes to more jacking and booty bangers. I've 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/REKIDS286
UK producer and DJ Huxley returns to Rekids with the ‘Pinball Skizzard’ EP, arriving 10th April 2026. It follows last year’s ‘MIND G%MES’ EP, which marked his debut on Radio Slave’s label and won support from artists including Enzo Siragusa, Jennifer Loveless, Carista, and Laurent Garnier. Active for over two decades, the Dumb Safari label boss has left his mark, founding the online R Trybe community with Ramin Rezaie/BAKKIS, while boasting label credits including Aus, 20/20 Vision, and collaborator Steve Bug’s Poker Flat.
Huxley opens the ‘Pinball Skizzard’ EP with ‘Pinball’, setting the tone with a hefty House groove, anchored by cavernous bass, and brought to life by old-school vocal touches and bright sax motifs that inject warmth and energy into the mix. ‘Heaven’ follows with a buoyant rhythm, pairing glowing chords and twinkling melodic details with deep, dubby low-end pressure designed to keep bodies locked in motion.
‘Deep Down’ shifts into a slinkier back-room groove, rich in atmosphere and soulful vocal fragments that underline its timeless house feel. Closing track ‘Felix’ rounds things out with a percussive roller built around vocal snippets and subtle tribal accents, delivering a stripped-back but effective finale that fits neatly within the Rekids aesthetic.
Founded in 2006, Radio Slave’s Rekids expanded with the techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its latest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as sole A&R, Rekids continues to champion emerging and established artists alike, remaining a trusted home for house and related sounds, with recent releases from DJ Minx, Echonomist, Tal Fussman, and more.

![Sam Shure - Belinda [REKIDS92]
Out now: https://orcd.co/rekids292
Berlin’s Sam Shure arrives on Rekids 3rd July 2026 with the ‘Belinda’ EP, a three-tracker including a collaboration with Swiss-French DJ and producer and I AM YOU label boss Deer Jade. Since his debut release in 2016, Shure has been backed by a long list of supporters, including Pete Tong and Âme, racking up over 66 million streams via music on the likes of HABITAT and Cercle, as well as releasing Tomorrowland’s CORE label’s best-selling track.
Sam Shure’s ‘Belinda’ EP opens with the title track, where a robust, organic rhythm playfully underpins the fidgety, bitcrushed sounds and stabs above, all while the titular vocal is evenly dotted throughout the arrangement. Shure then teams up with Innervisions, Diynamic and Kompakt artist Deer Jade for the aptly named ‘String Theory’, a strong and steady groove shot through with uplifting strings and synth work.
Closing the offering, Sam Shure returns solo with ‘No Time To Play’, squelchy sequences winding through rich melodies that steadily build the pressure for a strobe-lit dancefloor adventure.
“Belinda came to life after a sweaty Sunday night at Panorama Bar where I saw Floorplan playing for the second time. I woke up the next day, deeply inspired by them, and made Belinda within 2 hours or so. It was one of those dreamlike flow-state sessions where everything just works the first try and you don’t have to think about your creative decisions at all.
At first I felt it was too fast/heavy to be a Sam Shure track, so it sat on my hard drive for about a year. This year I am feeling a strong and clear gravity toward this more classic, raw house and Detroit approach, and Belinda suddenly made much sense for this project and found its way onto my USB stick.
I am very honored it found a home with such a legendary label that has equally accompanied and inspired me over the years and helped me shape my sound in that direction.” - Sam Shure Sam Shure - Belinda [REKIDS92]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M6hMFA-_8Xw/mqdefault.jpg)
![Justin Harris - Check Your Chains [RKD016]
Out now: https://orcd.co/rkd016
Justin Harris arrives on REK’D with the ‘Check Your Chains’ EP 6th February 2026. Music For Freaks label co-founder and one half of Freaks alongside Luke Solomon, Harris has been active for over three decades. His ‘Check Your Chains’ EP on Radio Slave’s latest sublabel joins a massive discography spanning four albums and over a hundred EPs between Freaks and his solo work, on labels like Perlon, Visionquest, Classic, Crosstown Rebels, and many more, showing the wealth of experience at his command.
The ‘Check Your Chains’ EP sees Justin Harris delve deep: lush chords, paired-back grooves, delectable keys, and a certain funky, loopy hypnotism that’s modern and classy. ‘Who Needs Rescuing’ brings the Balearic sunshine, while ‘Jutzjazz’ feels right at home in a dim-lit speakeasy, before ‘DJs Should Be Heard And Not Seen’ reads like a statement on the scene, yet as a piece of music is first and foremost deeply felt - this is a four-tracker of pure House quality.
“For me, any release is an opportunity to present a snapshot of my creative pursuits, which now run to more than 30 years. The sole (and soul) reason I make music is for it to be heard and appreciated as far and wide as possible by like-minded people. Any track that I produce is a reflection of what’s going on around me in my world, same as any artist. In that world, for me, Rekids is truly one of my favourite and most respected labels, consistently releasing house music future classics that I always want to play out. So this release for me is a truly great start to 2026!!” Justin Harris Justin Harris - Check Your Chains [RKD016]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Me4mAo11G4A/mqdefault.jpg)
![Dino Lenny - Piano Lessons at Eight [REKIDS287]
Out now: https://orcd.co/REKIDS287
Radio Slave’s Rekids with ‘Piano Lessons at Eight’ 24th April 2026, alongside a remix from label regular Tal Fussman. The release follows Lenny’s ‘Not About The Volume’ EP, which released late 2025, and won support from Laurent Garnier, Chloé Caillet, Catz ‘n Dogz, and more.
‘Piano Lessons at Eight’ centres Lenny’s own vocals over a dark, chugging rhythm that develops steadily, tracing a personal journey from formal piano training to the discovery of electronic music. The biographical thread running through the record gives it an identity that sits apart from purely functional dance music.
Rekids regular and Survival Tactics boss Tal Fussman then provides the accompanying remix, a crunchy, percussive rework that brings his characteristic blend of deep house and raw techno to bear, adding melancholic piano stabs that add texture without crowding the arrangement. The outcome is focused, atmospheric, and built for extended play.
With releases on R&S, Diynamic, Innervisions, Crosstown Rebels, Strictly Rhythm, Bedrock, and his own Fine Human Records label, and collaborative work alongside Underworld, Missy Elliott, Wu-Tang Clan, and Madonna, Lenny holds a long-established position within both underground and mainstream electronic contexts. Consistently supported by Pete Tong, Solomun, Carl Cox, and Groove Armada, he maintains a presence that spans scenes without being defined by any single one. Since 2021, he has hosted Tomorrowland’s CORE radio show, platforming artists including Nina Kraviz, Ellen Allien, and DJ Tennis.

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.

![Khadija - Soul [RKD018]
Out now: orcd.co/RKD018
Khadija returns to REK’D with the three-track sequel to her hotly tipped deep house missive ‘Dunya I’ on 1st May 2026.
‘Dunya I’, the first in a series of three, was released in January 2026 and saw the Berlin-based Rafiki collective founder win plaudits from the likes of Ploy, Jen Cardini, Tim Sweeney, Rose Kourts, and many more, as well as being tipped as an artist to watch by Beatport and DJ Mag.
The second part of Khadija’s ‘Dunya’ series is another spirit-replenishing offering. From the gospel-like male-female vocal harmonies accompanied by delectable piano keys in ‘Good’, to the soft guitar strum and passionate, heartfelt singing on ‘Heart’, before deep cut ‘Soul’ finishes on a crunchy, nostalgic vibe - ‘Dunya II’ is an EP meant to be felt.
Khadija is a Berlin-based music producer, DJ, and creative director whose soulful House sound is shaped by her Eritrean heritage. A resident at Heideglühen and founder of the Rafiki artist collective, she has appeared at venues such as Robert Johnson, Tresor, and Fusion Festival, while her collaboration with Detroit’s Stacey Hotwaxx Hale on Movement Music Records and previous REK’D EP earned playlist support from Keinemusik, who also hosted her for a guest radio show.
Matt Edwards launched REK’D in October 2024 to release no-nonsense house music without the limitations of parent label Rekids. It has since become a home for dancefloor-focused EPs from artists including Avision, Ketiov & Edvvin, Uncertain, Rocco Rodamaal, James Curd, Denney, and more.

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.

It marks his solo debut for Radio Slave’s flagship label, succeeding his ‘Love Will Remain’ EP together with Mark Broom as Star B in 2022. Active for more than two decades, Starr has been a consistent force within House music, known for building infectious loops, weighty basslines, and hook-led vocals into timeless club records. His catalogue spans his own Snatch! Records alongside labels such as Hot Creations, Cajual, Crosstown Rebels, and Factory 93, with releases regularly topping digital charts.
“Had such a ball producing this EP for one of my favourite labels out there. I definitely don’t take consistency and quality for granted these days, so it feels proper to be releasing on an imprint that stands for exactly that. Riva Starr
Riva Starr’s ‘Shine A Light’ EP starts with Cant Stop The Feeling’, setting the tone with a bold, elastic House groove, driven by funky bass, smart filter work, and diva-style vocal stabs designed to lift the room. ‘Shine A Light (On Me)’ follows with even greater impact, pairing wall-rattling drums with belting vocals that bring gospel intensity to a hands-in-the-air anthem. ‘Tryin’’ digs deeper, keeping the pressure on with a sleazier bassline underpinning male vocal cries and smooth choral touches built for peak-time reactions. Closing things out, ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling (Beat-A-Pella)’ strips the groove back, rounding off a high-impact, emotionally charged EP of modern house craftsmanship.

‘Autopilot’ kicks off with an unsuspecting, rolling groove while playful synths sneak up and bounce off its rhythm. The trip continues with ‘Sunset Flight’, lush chords washing over deep, subby low-end, rising high before delving back into the background while delicious percs play between its pounding kick drums. Closer ‘Grid Bounce’ then returns to mischief, machine-like sequences tumbling over an unrelenting beat, excellently building pressure for maximum dancefloor wonk.
“With this EP, I wanted to combine the funky and happy side of my music with driving techno elements. The EP and track titles were inspired when I was on a long-haul flight. So happy to release these three tracks in one EP.”– Ken Ishii
DJ and producer Ken Ishii is one of the founding artists behind the Japanese Techno scene, he debuted on R&S Records in 1993 and quickly rose to global acclaim, releasing on labels like Harthouse, Exceptional, and now Rekids’ RSPX offshoot, while collaborating with artists like Jeff Mills, who remixed Ishii’s 2019 ‘MOBÏUS STRIP’ album on U/M/A/A.
