UK DJ, producer, and Dumb Safari label head Huxley joins Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time with the ‘MIND G%MES’ EP, dropping 25th July 2025.

The first track, ‘M%ND’, kicks oﬀ with woozy and alluring pads swirling round a cuddly but kicking Deep House groove. Soulful vocals and delicate, cosmic melodies rise out of the mix to bring it to a close in style.

'CLUB SH%T' ups the ante with zippy synths injecting some texture to slamming drums that straddle the House and Techno divide, while wispy stabs and warm daubs of sound dance around the cowbells to make this an evaluated late-night tool.

'FEAR N%THING' is a new school cut, with filtered loops, sugary chords, and pent-up energy all surging through the dance floor.

Last but not least is 'ANY1', a sleazy House pumper featuring moody spoken word, a big, rubbery bassline, and slinky, Garage-influenced percussion.

Active in the underground music scene for two decades, former Rinse resident and sometime Aus, Shall Not Fade and Unknown To The Unknown artist has had one hell of a career. From huge breakthrough tracks like ‘Let it Go’ on Hypercolour and ‘Box Clever’ on 20:20 Vision to his 2014 ‘Blurred’ LP on Aus, he’s seen universal critical acclaim as well as massive support from DJs and dancefloors globally.

In recent years, his Dumb Safari label, the online community R Trybe (co-founded by Ramin Rezaie/BAKKIS) and collaborations with Steve Bug are just a handful of his projects, while his ‘MIND G%MES’ EP for Rekids is already feeding the fire with support from Jen Cardini, Cromby, I.Jordan, Jennifer Loveless and big room dons, Michael Bibi and Solomun.

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.

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 Harry Romero, Tal Fussman, Spencer Parker, The Hacker, and more.

Info: Jakob Mäder returns with "Understanding", a two-track EP that showcases the Stuttgart-based artist’s refined sense for deep grooves and genre-blending soundscapes. Known for his wide-ranging musical vision and versatile DJ and live performances, Mäder delivers two original cuts that echo his deep house roots and experimental curiosity—accompanied by a stellar remix from long-time collaborator Luise.

The title giving track Understanding dives straight into deep territories. Snappy chords and vocal fragments ride a slick, understated groove, resulting in a track that feels both timeless and fresh—a clear continuation of Mäder’s deep, soulful approach to the dancefloor.

Strings follows with ethereal pads, thumpin’ kicks, and a warm, rounded bassline. It’s a full-bodied homage to the Windy City, with string arrangements that lend the track its name and emotional weight. A deep house bliss-out designed for those early morning hours where the connection between sound and soul runs deepest.

Closing out the release, Luise reimagines Strings in a breakbeat framework, layering in percussive tension and vocal snippets for a fresh rhythmic perspective. Her remix respectfully reworks the original’s deep house core while injecting it with new-found urgency and textural punch—completing the EP with a dynamic and surprising twist.

From subtle warmth to club-focused depth, "Understanding" is here to:

Fuel Your Passion!

*PREMIERE* Jakob Mäder - Understanding

Frankey & Sandrino return to Rekids with the Please EP, reinforcing their refined aesthetic across three tracks that balance nostalgic vocals, detailed sound design and emotional appeal. The title track elegantly captures a collective moment of dancefloor ecstasy, drawing on synthpop and deep house influences with sophistication. With nearly two decades of joint trajectory, the German duo once again affirms their signature: a melodic approach that avoids formulas while remaining deeply connected to the club environment. Listen to the exclusive premiere of Please on Alataj.

Selecting tunes for releases on Samurai Music is difficult as there is so many great tunes on offer. The absolute cream of what we get sent makes it to releases on vinyl, so resisting the temptation of digital only releases creates a backlog of high quality tunes. Outliers is a collection of music from the Samurai family of artists that were all in contention for vinyl release, but for one reason or another slipped through the cracks. Most of these are still in heavy rotation in many of our DJ sets, so rather than hogging them, we put together a collection for a Bandcamp only release. Most of these have never been played by more than a few select Samurai DJ’s and the producer themselves. Outliers shows the depth of talent these producers have with these sitting on their HD’s without a home. We don’t plan on moving into the digital only release field any time soon so maybe we can have this series as a semi regular substitute.
