Berlin’s Tal Fussman returns to Rekids with the ‘Walking on Mars’ EP, releasing 7th November 2025. It follows the Survival Tactics boss’ recent album on Binh’s Time Passages, as well as his ‘Definition’ (2024) and ‘I Feel’ (2025) EPs on Rekids, with Fussman’s fresh spin on classic House and Techno winning support from the likes of Raresh, Cromby, DVS1, Saoirse, Carista, Honey Dijon, and many more.
The ‘Walking on Mars’ EP opens with ‘Crystallized’, a cavernous cut exclusive to 12”, where Tal Fussman pares back his signature percussive style in favor of a rolling groove set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop. ‘Who’s Who?’ follows, its wild sequences and skewed drumlines colliding in restless motion, before giving way to ‘Sea of Blue’, a pure rhythmic trip infused with dub textures and a hypnotic, evocative vocal sample.
The title track, ‘Walking on Mars’, drives forward on hard-hitting drums that gradually unfold into a soulful house melody, setting the stage for ‘Knowledge_Machine’, a razor-sharp electro finale of snaking synths and an apt robotic vocal. Fussman’s versatility shines throughout, with the EP already winning support from Antal, Rene Wise, Marcel Dettmann, and Fred P.
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, Frankey & Sandrino, Mathias Kaden, Huxley, and many more.")

Berlin’s Khadija unveils the third instalment in her Dunya series on Radio Slaves REKD label, landing 4th September 2026. Following the release of the fi rst two chapters, which earmarked her as an artist to watch earlier this year, Khadija has become a core presence within the Rekids family, joining label events at Berghain, as well as Amsterdam and Zurich as part of the imprints 20th Anniversary celebrations. While ‘Dunya’ was originally conceived as a three-part series, it has continued to evolve, with more music in the works and a fourth instalment to follow.
Khadija’s ‘Dunya III’ opens with ‘God’, where an all-encompassing title is distilled into a stripped-back groove, soft string motifs and an impassioned gospel vocal. ‘Glory’ follows with a choir harmonising around deep, soulful vocals as smooth House chords glide over a snappy rhythm, building into a nostalgic and uplifting moment. Closing the release, ‘On and On’ leans into jazz-infl ected territory, pairing delicate piano keys with subtle percussion and raw, emotive singing for a warm and intimate finale.
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 Rafi ki 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 EPs earned playlist support from Defected and Keinemusik, who also hosted her for a guest radio show.")

Mathias Kaden announces the ‘Three Decades’ LP on Rekids, releasing 3rd April 2026, with single ‘Fyutr’ featuring Zoë Xenia and a remix from the legendary Dennis Ferrer available now. His third full-length, following 2009’s ‘Studio 10’ on Vakant and 2015’s ‘Energetic’ on Freunden Am Tanzen, ‘Three Decades’ spans nine tracks and celebrates Kaden’s 30-year career as one of Germany’s most enduring House and Techno figures.
“This album is a dedication to 30 years of DJ culture – to nights, dancefloors, and moments that have stood the test of time. At its core is the music that has moved me the most throughout all these years: house music in its timeless form. Rather than following short-lived trends, this album stands for attitude. For groove, energy, and that unmistakable feeling when a track hits the dancefloor at exactly the right moment. This is music that doesn’t need explanation – it works because it’s honest. My perspective has always been the same: forward-looking, yet deeply rooted in what defines house music. This album could just as easily have been released ten years ago – or ten years from now. That is precisely its strength: when the music is right, time becomes irrelevant. This is not a retrospective, but a statement. It represents who I am as a DJ – then, now, and always.” - Mathias Kaden
The ‘Three Decades album opens with a title intro, in which Mathias Kaden expresses gratitude to those closest to him before moving into his signature deep, emotive House sound. Tracks like ‘Keep Balance’ set the tone with sub-heavy bass and crisp, driving drums, occasionally punctuated by vocal snippets, while ‘I Got You’ features Cassy for a high-energy, soulful dancefloor moment. Reminiscent of Kaden’s work as Mathimidori, the dubbiness of ‘Getting Closer’ sets the stage for ‘Inner Signal’, which leans into wiggy electro territory, before the second record shifts gears with ‘Next Wave’ and ‘Shelter’, returning to pacey, piano-fuelled rave energy. ‘Viral’ follows with tough drums and excellent stab work, before the album closes on ‘Fyutr’, Kaden’s collaboration with Zoë Xenia, already supported by Honey Dijon, DJ Deep, Laurent Garnier, and more.
Active since the mid-90s, Mathias Kaden quickly became one of the artists at the forefront of Germany’s flourishing rave scene. He began releasing music in the early 2000s, first collaborating with Marek Hemmann on a series of EPs for Freude Am Tanzen, before establishing himself as a solo artist with more than two dozen EPs on labels including Desolat, Watergate Records, Pets Recordings, Diynamic, Ovum, and Cocoon. Since first appearing on Rekids in 2019 with the ‘Control Your Mind’ EP, Kaden has released multiple projects on the label and remains a regular contributor to its catalogue. Alongside his own productions, he has remixed artists such as DJ Koze, KiNK, Monika Kruse, Trentemøller, and Sven Väth, while under his Mathimidori alias, he has explored more spacious territory with releases on Mule Musiq, Ornaments, and Freund der Familie, including an additional album, ‘Akebono’, on Echocord.")

Harry Romero and Austin Ato return to Rekids alongside the debuting Brothers Macklovitch, aka A-Trak and Dave 1, with the ‘The Corner’ EP, arriving 5th June 2026. Romero has more than two decades of house pedigree behind him, continuing to refine a signature sound rooted in expert drum work and undeniable attitude. With a catalogue spanning seminal imprints from Nu Groove to Classic Recordings and Defected, the Bambossa Records boss builds on his 2025 debut with ‘Nice To Meet You’, once again showcasing his knack for balancing functional, floor-ready grooves with rich musical character.
Ive known of A-Trak for a long time via his DMC roots, but heard his name for the first time in our world with Duck Sauce. Our paths crossed quite a bit at Defected events, and then eventually we said, lets do something in the studio. And here we are today with Brothers Macklovitch and Austin Ato! I dont do too many collabs, so when I do, I always like it to be a real collaboration, and I really like what Austin did with his Piano Mix. Super-excited about this and what better label to have our collab with than Rekids! - Harry Romero
Joining Harry Romero are Brothers Maklovitch, consisting of legendary turntablist A-Trak alongside his brother, David “Dave 1” Maklovitch of Chromeo, bringing decades of experience across the electronic spectrum, alongside versatile Scottish producer Austin Ato, who previously contributed to Oliver Dollar’s 2025 album on Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint.
Harry Romero, Brothers Macklovitch, and Austin Ato’s ‘The Corner’ (Piano Mix) opens the release, a warm and energetic house cut driven by bold, bouncy drums and jazzy melodic touches, as lively guitar licks and rolling piano lines inject an uplifting, expressive feel primed for the dancefloor.
The ‘Deep In Jersey Dub’ follows, maintaining the heat with a more stripped-back approach, where filters and breakdowns build tension before a punchy drop, with teased-out guitars adding to its dynamic impact.")

French producer The Hacker joins forces with vocalist, songwriter, and producer Rein for ‘We Come Alive’ on Rekids, arriving 19th June 2026. A longstanding figure within the underground, The Hacker helped shape the early electroclash movement through his analogue-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
The 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.")
