Active since the 2000s, Tapia boasts a long list of label credits, including Planet Rhythm and his own Say What? Records, now joining Radio Slave’s Rekids family with two EPs, beginning with ‘Game Plan’ on the Techno-leaning RSPX.
The title track kicks things off, deft kicks and deep subs making up the low end, while exhilarating stabs ride above for those big dancefloor moments, before ‘Got to Love’ dives into a jackin’ vibe infused with dub influences. ‘Faltran’ continues, boasting a hard-hitting groove and a foreboding atmosphere for the darker hours, followed by ‘Dark Groove’s playful drums and expert, mind-melting sound design.
“After a serious accident, I built this release with one arm and a clear vision. "Gameplan" isn’t just music—it’s the first move on my way back. This is only the beginning.” Ramon Tapia
Ramon Tapia emerged in the 2000s with releases on labels such as Pocket, Equator, and Strictly Rhythm. He later held a three-year residency at Sankeys Ibiza and performed at leading festivals including Tomorrowland, Mayday, Loveland, and Caprices. More recently, cuts such as ‘Silent Assassin’ on Planet Rhythm and ‘Shadow Master’ on his own Say What? Records reached the Beatport Raw Techno Top 15, while 2026 will see Tapia return with new material and collaborations alongside Kmyle, Ecilo, Hertz, and The Advent.

![Mathias Kaden - I Got You feat. Cassy [REKIDS285]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w_Y77MJXJ98/mqdefault.jpg "Mathias Kaden - I Got You feat. Cassy [REKIDS285]
https://orcd.co/REKIDS285
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.")

UK artist Denney arrives on Radio Slave’s REK’D for the first time with ‘Promises’, landing 3rd October 2025. Following up his 2023 debut ‘Catch The Heat’ single on flagship label Rekids, ‘Promises’ features the voice of platinum-selling singer-songwriter Penny F, and is a low-slung House groover with a subtle nod to old-school, golden-age Progressive sounds. Courtesy of raw, rolling square bass, and the deep emotion evoked by Penny’s heartfelt vocals - ‘Promises’ is a late-night track to lose yourself to on dark, strobe-lit dancefloors.
I have been working with Penny for a while on a variety of different projects and knew as soon as I made the track her vocals would be perfect....which they are! I wanted to make a timeless House record, which I think we have managed to do nicely! - Denney
With ‘Promises’, Denney follows up his 2023 ‘Catch The Heat’ single on Rekids, which featured a vocal from Charlotte Riby and remixes by Nic Fanciulli and Franky & Sandrino. The North England-born DJ and producer broke through with his Hot Creations hit ‘Ultraviolet’ and has since released music on labels such as Crosstown Rebels and Knee Deep In Sound, while playing at venues including fabric, DC10, and BPM Festival.
For his debut on REK’D, he teams up with Penny F, who has co-written chart-topping tracks with Lana Del Rey and collaborated with artists like William Orbit, Yousef, Ali Love, and more, with releases spanning Ministry of Sound, Toolroom, Armada, and Spinnin’ Records.")

Italian producer and DJ Riva Starr returns to Rekids with the ‘Shine A Light’ EP, arriving 27th March 2026. 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.")

Participation boss Jon Hester is back on Radio Slave’s RSPX with the four-track ‘Here and Present’ EP on 6th March 2026. Releasing under his given name since 2009 and first appearing on Rekids’ Techno sublabel in 2018, Hester released two further EPs on RSPX and contributed to a compilation in 2023, making him a core part of the label.
On the surface, these are four tracks for the dance floor. Conceptually, this EP explores themes of being here and present within yourself, and allowing yourself to embrace the present moment, a practice that feels more important now than ever. The title tracks vocal is my own voice repeating Im here. In its intended purpose, this phrase has nothing to do with me personally; rather, it serves as a meditative mantra for the listener to repeat within themselves.
Im here. Ideally, on a dance floor in good spirits, sharing special times with loved ones around you, or otherwise under any circumstances, you are here and present and keeping on! We move through the smoke and darkness with glances to one another, into the warm togetherness of the morning fog. Jon Hester
Starting with the title track, Jon Hester’s ‘Here and Present’ EP unfolds as a finely balanced blend of techno with warmth, groove, and soul. Taut, rolling drums lay the foundation, with echoing blasts of noise dancing around rhythmic vocal snippets.
‘Through the Smoke’ follows, pairing sharp percussive sounds with moody atmospherics, its siren-like melodies rising and falling, before ‘Glance’ locks into a robust organic groove under shimmering tonal stabs. Closing things out, ‘Fog’ slips into deeper territory, delivering refined, hypnotic minimalism at its best, served over an insistent bouncing bassline.
Raised in the Midwest US, and early years in Chicago and Minneapolis to his current base in Berlin, Jon Hester has built an international profile as a DJ, producer, musician, and dancer, with music released on labels including Klockworks and Tresor, and performances at institutions such as Berghain, fabric, Rex Club, Shelter, Hï Ibiza, and more.
In recent years, he has expanded his output through his label, Participation, a platform for his own productions and collaborations with artists including Cassy, Tadeo, DJ Shufflemaster, Joel Mull, The Advent, Exos, Lady Starlight, and William Arist, while continuing to evolve the dancefloor-driven expression that first inspired him in the ’90s.")

Out now: orcd.co/rspx82
Belgium-based artist Azo debuts on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Aries Constellation’ EP, arriving 28th November 2025. The DJ, producer, live act, Kiosk Radio resident, and Queer Future Club founder kicks things off with the title track, its subtle Electro groove taking the backseat to its ambient, expansive pads and lush synth lines.
‘Astral Combination’ follows, featuring an earworm melody at its centre, as crisp 909 drums underpin a soft acid line, just before ‘Healing in Space’ concludes with ecstatic energy, trading the previous tracks’ mystery for high-energy, intergalactic dancefloor action.
“The Aries Constellation, one of the oldest known, represents the ram, a symbol of courage, energy, and new beginnings. Its brightest stars, Hamal, Sheratan, Mesarthim, and 41 Ari, mark the head, shoulders, and body of the ram, while smaller stars trace the horns and outline, forming a luminous guide across the night sky. The EP unfolds like a journey through sound and space. Aries Constellation brings electro and ambient textures for a spatial journey, Astral Combination flows through nostalgic house rhythms, and Healing in Space draws on Detroit-inspired hopeful waves with subtle acid lines. Each track moves between intensity and calm, taking the listener on a journey through sound. The music captures the expansive feeling of floating through a stellar landscape, inspired by the power and mystique of the Aries constellation. - Azo
With the ‘Aries Constellation’ EP on RSPX, Correspondant and Duality Trax artist Azo follows up her recent ‘Echoes of Infinity’ EP on London’s Manual Smiles imprint, supported by the likes of DJ Rolando, Amanda Mussi, HAAi, Jen Cardini, Alinka, and Gerd Janson. As a DJ, Azo appears regularly at institutions such as Fuse, Nuits Sonores, Listen Festival, and more, while her Queer Future Club events tour Europe, and her radio presence includes shows on The Lot, Rinse France, as well as her Kiosk Radio residency.")

House lynchpin Rocco Rodamaal debuts on REK’D with ‘The NYC Chronicle’ EP, a two-tracker paying homage to two of New York’s most iconic clubs, The Loft and The Tunnel, landing 12th December 2025. Active as a producer and DJ for three decades, Rodamaal belongs to a circle of innovators who continue to shape the scene through releases on COD3-QR, Defected, Freerange, his own Memories label, and now Radio Slave’s Rekids offshoot, REK’D.
With ‘The NYC Chronicle’, the French artist delivers two opposites in minimalism: the heads-down, early-hours loopiness of ‘The Loft and the bright, uplifting arps that bring daylight to the former arches of ‘The Tunnel’.
“These two tracks were born from a deep emotional connection to two legendary venues in New York—places I never had the chance to experience firsthand, yet whose spirit has long resonated with me. Through the countless artists who performed there and the timeless music that echoed within their walls, I imagined the atmosphere, the energy, the soul of those spaces. This project is more than just music; it’s a tribute. A tribute to the legacy of these cultural landmarks, to the artists who shaped them, and to the inspiration they continue to offer. Each version reflects my personal interpretation of that legacy—blending my own sonic language with the echoes of a past I never lived, but deeply feel. For me, creation is about honoring memory while pushing forward. These tracks are my way of bridging eras, of channeling the essence of house music’s roots into something that speaks to today.” -Rocco Rodamaal
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, James Curd, Denney, and more.")
