Austria’s Uncertain arrives on Rekids REK’D label for the first time with the ‘Nasty House’ EP 19th September 2025. He follows up his 2024 ‘Praise’ album on the Techno-focused RSPX sibling label, alongside several EPs since his debut in 2022.
For ‘Nasty House’, he turns the clock back to his 90s House roots, before his signature, drummy Techno sounds as Boriqua Tribez in the 2000s and later Uncertain project.
‘Nasty’ is up first, a tough beat underpinning deep, swishing synths which thread along the bassline while classic House elements subtly rear their head throughout.
‘Push’ continues, slightly more jacking, but equally classy, fusing lush chords with expert, old-school sampling.
Active since 1989 as Boriqua Tribez and known as Uncertain since 2018, he has made a name for himself with diverse productions that have made him one of Beatport’s top-selling Techno artists, while his fast-paced three-deck mixing and dancefloor storytelling fuel his tours abroad. Across the last three decades, he’s worked on countless releases on labels like Truncate, Beard Man, Illegal Alien, and Mind Medizin.
Matt Edwards launched REK’D in October 2024 to release no-nonsense House music without the limitations of parent label Rekids. It has released dancefloor-ready EPs from artists such as St. David, DCLVIII OFC, James Juke, James Curd, Ketiov, and more.")

German-Romanian duo Frankey & Sandrino come back to Rekids with the ‘Please’ EP, landing 10th October 2025 alongside a remix from Echonomist. They follow their 2022 ‘Brainscan’ EP on Radio Slave’s label, as well as a remix for Denney in 2023.
With an irresistible bassline, smooth melody, and a nostalgia-fuelled vocal, ‘Please’ is the kind of track you hear as you walk into a busy tent at a festival, hands in the air, energy abundant. Frankey & Sandrino are masters at crafting emotional dancefloor bangers, going a little deeper on the progressive ‘Genie’, building up to busy stabs and mind-melting, futuristic sound design.
Completing the EP, the pair call in Greek DJ and producer Echonomist to remix ‘Please’. The Innervisions and Exit Strategy artist strips the original back, transforming it into a dark, hypnotic groover built for smoke-lit dance floors.
The original had this beautiful Depeche Mode 80s vibe, but for the remix I wanted to take it into a different space, closer to the Detroit sound I love, a bit like Carl Craig’s approach. Something more hypnotic and club-focused, but still keeping the emotion of Frankey & Sandrino’s track. – Echonomist
Frankey & Sandrino are a German duo that has been shaping dance floors since 2009 with their distinct, trend-defying sound. With releases on Kompakt, Diynamic, and their own Sum Over Histories, and regular appearances at clubs like fabric and Stereo, they now return to Rekids with the ‘Please’ EP.")

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.")

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.")

Out now: https://orcd.co/RSPX80
Japanese Techno pioneer Ken Ishii returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Autopilot’ EP, arriving 22nd August 2025. It follows his first appearance on the label in 2023, where he collaborated with Dutch duo Kamara on the ‘Powerplay’ single.
‘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.
He is also the founder of the 70 Drums label, co-brewer of KIKK IPA, worked on theme songs for the 1998 Winter Olympics and the Japanese government for the 2005 World Expo, and continues to innovate through projects ranging from video game and anime soundtracks to collaborations with Jazz artists.")

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.")

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

Out now: https://orcd.co/rekids296d
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. Its 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. Hes 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.")
