Kicking of the fifth volume of Milan's Manzo Edits series after a hat-trick-and-more's worth of Afro-disco edits, we've now 'Rosy' on our ears, a bittersweet disco daydream fattened on swooning strings and lovesick charm. Things get steamier after the fact with 'Amare Moto', a slinky, mid-tempo grind laced with satin synths and late-night shimmer. Flip it over and you have 'You Have To Cry Tonight; tight Italo percs clutter in with big hair energy, and a bassline built for strutting. Closer 'Bring Me' dials up the absurdity: cowbells, yodels, and alpine mischief collide in a peak-time oddball rave.

Matt Ryder, AKA Odee X, comes back to Radio Slave’s REK’D with the ‘Agent X’ EP 4th July 2025. It follows the London artist’s ‘X-Ray’ EP, which came out on the Rekids sibling earlier this year, and won support from Laurent Garnier, Honey Dijon, Sean Johnston, and many more.

First up on Odee X’s ‘Agent X’ EP is the title track, making a grand and classy entry via jazz-inflected melodies, while dub hits provide weight. Breaks slice through its mellow vibe, with the Reprise version stripping things back to lush atmospheres.

Next, ‘Promised Land’ rolls on with a tough kick underpinning soft harmonies and a deep vocal sample before ‘The Dreamer’ continues with more expert sampling, its rhythm and chords tumbling over one another and closing a versatile package for the REK’D label.

Formerly known as B.U.U.G, Odee X has released on labels like Street Tracks, Nightmayors, and REK’D. He has won club and festival plays from the likes of John Digweed and Josh Wink, with his takes on contemporary House, Techno, and Breakbeat also landing spins on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music.

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, and more.

Works Of Intent, a UK-based mix-engineer-designer-essayist and activist, offers productions rooted in the UK underground with techno and pop influences. A master of live edits and four-deck wizardry, he is also project manager of DAYTIMERS and a designer and mix engineer. His track on the compilation is "Erase It."

London-based DJ and producer Hilit Kolet, a classically trained musician and veteran of Black Market Records, delivers high-octane DJ sets and sharp productions. Her track "Sunbed Tripper" features the spoken words of Juliet Mendoza.

Monfort, the new alias of Spanish producer and DJ Albert Salvatierra, makes his COD3 QR debut with "La Musique." His sound emphasizes strength and precision, crafted for both dance floors and attentive listening, with this track showcasing a more introspective approach.

Marco Bailey, a Belgian techno luminary with over three decades in the industry, contributes "Sweet Irony" to close the compilation. A regular on COD3 QR, his tracks have also appeared on Intec, Bedrock, and Cocoon.

Feedasoul Records is proud to welcome South African deep house craftsman KaySoul with his debut full-length LP, Black Rose. A ten-track body of work, with six cuts specially selected for a limited vinyl release, Black Rose is as personal as it is profound - a record that reflects KaySoul’s journey into fatherhood, love, responsibility, and self-transformation.

Steeped in rich textures and soulful depth, Black Rose isn’t just music - it’s an introspective offering wrapped in the raw spirit of house. With subtle nods to the legacy of Larry Heard and a South African house sensibility woven through each groove, this album moves with intention, emotion, and a grounded sense of purpose. It’s moody, honest, and beautifully restrained.

“The black rose represents the mystery and beauty of life. It’s about resilience, strength, and the courage to embrace change. Becoming a father shifted my whole world. This album carries that transition—the chaos, the calm, and the clarity that follows.”– KaySoul

With collaborations featuring OVEOUS, Steve Faets, and Berenice Van Leer, the LP doesn’t shy away from warm melodies and vocal moments, but it remains rooted in that heads-down, late-night feeling. Organic synth work, evolving arrangements, deep low-end, and tasteful restraint guide the project from start to finish. These are not just tracks for the dancefloor - they’re meditations for the mind, body, and soul.

KaySoul’s name has been quietly bubbling in the deeper corners of the scene for a while now. Since 2010, he’s built a signature sound with heavy emotional weight—earning him recognition at the 2018 Dance Music Awards South Africa, where he took home both Best Remix and Best Male DJ. Influenced by jazz, soul, and the subtle textures of broken beat and downtempo electronica, his palette is wide - but his intention remains laser-focused on soul.

As a label, Feedasoul has always championed groove with depth, emotion with purpose, and Black Rose is no exception. This is one for the diggers. The late-night selectors. The ones who still believe house music is a form of storytelling.

PREMIERE : Toomy Disco - Rip That Ass (Takuya Matsumoto Remix)

You might know Ben Evers as one half of Adana Twins – but now he’s stepping out solo again, and stepping up. Fueled by the raw energy of electronic music and a deep connection to the dancefloor, Ben blends house, R&B and hip hop influences into a sound that’s both emotional and powerful. Years on the global circuit as a DJ, plus serious studio chops, have shaped him into a truly versatile artist with his own voice and vision.
This release marks a new chapter – a personal statement wrapped in rhythm, built for big rooms and intimate spaces alike. It’s Ben in full control, letting the vibe unfold with every beat.

Joining the ride is Anna Schreit – a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her fluid style and deep musical roots.
Raised on her father’s art rock and shaped by both the raw pulse of Berlin’s underground and her formative time in Munich, Anna has carved out a name for herself with genre-bending sets and a fearless approach to house and beyond. A resident at Sisyphos, she brings her own flavour to the release with a killer remix that hits just right – slick, unrelenting, and dripping with intent.
A heavyweight collab from two artists who know exactly where they’re going – and aren’t afraid to take the scenic route.
