A career spent DJing across the globe was the catalyst for Damian Lazarus’s latest project – Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons. Masterminded by Lazarus the album brings together a wide assortment of vocalists, collaborators and players from around the world. Taking inspiration from Lazarus's Lazpod series, Get Lost events and Day Zero festival in Mexico, this is music for deserts, jungles and sunrises.

Kicking off in LA, Lazarus was joined at the production controls by James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, Arctic Monkeys, Florence) as the album moved to London, and then final recording sessions completed in Mexico . The resulting album, ‘Message From the Other Side’, is a revelation. It runs the gamut from the wonderful Qawwali-flavoured techno of last year’s alternative dance hit ‘Lovers Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya)’ to the African-tinged house of ‘Sacred Dance of the Demon’, dense dark ambient of ‘Inner Core’, and the bubbling depths of forthcoming single Vermillion, this is a rich and ambitious album. Lazarus brought together the widest range of musicians to achieve his goals. Initially there was Moses Sumney, an LA singer-songwriter and guitarist whose vocals light up the dynamic deep house groove of ‘Vermillion’, and the epic closing number, ‘Tangled Web’. Lazarus’s long-standing friend and associate Ali Love, contributes vocals to the soulful groove of ‘We Will Return’. Other collaborations came from further afield. Hossam Ramzy, an Egyptian master- percussionist, most famous for his work on Jimmy Page and Robert Plant’s ‘No Quarter’ album laid down the amazing rhythm tracks for the Ancient Moons. ELEW (Eric Lewis), an American jazz pianist played a ‘treated piano’ in an unexpected, experimental way. Lazarus and Ford turned to Andrew Waterworth, double bassist with the acclaimed Penguin Café for the album’s lush string arrangements courtesy of Mexico’s Yucatan Symphony Orchestra.

German House artist Oliver Dollar announces his ‘Contemporary’ LP on Rekids, arriving 21st November 2025. Since 2024, he has released four EPs on Radio Slave’s label, featuring collaborations with over a dozen artists and singer-songwriters, supported by the likes of Dam Swindle, Louie Vega, Honey Dijon, Hunee, Kai Alce, and more.

"Contemporary stands for what I'm playing right now, from deeper tunes to more jacking and booty bangers. I've been working on this album for the last four years and want to thank all of the collaborators and remixers (so far) involved in making this album happen. Also, big thanks to the Rekids team who gave me full creative control and the stage to bring my favourite artists and friends along for the ride.”

Oliver Dollar

Since 2011, Industry Standard label boss Oliver Dollar has become a trusted name in House music, he was one of the leading proponents of its Fidget subgenre in Berlin at the height of its popularity, propelling him towards releases on labels such as Snatch!, Classic Music Company, and Defected, alongside a reputation as a formidable collaborator that’s worked with the likes of Crazy P, Mousse T, and Todd Edwards. For the ‘Contemporary’ LP, he doubles down on this spirit of partnership, bringing together a transatlantic cast of friends and peers, linking Berlin and Detroit through a shared House vision.

The album begins with ‘The New Is Here’, where Oliver Dollar teams up with Nils Ohrman for a soulful sermon that sets the tone with warmth and gravity, which was previously reimagined into a club-focused dub for ‘Contemporary Part Four’. From there, the mood shifts into ‘Downtown’ with Phil WZK, a deep, Jazz-inflected groove underpinned by a spoken monologue that feels both intimate and eternal.

Vocalists like APROPOS, Boog Brown, and Billy Love then bring soul and gospel fire, while producers including ADMN, Seven Davis Jr., Harvard Bass, Brillstein, and Austin Ato shape grooves that range from Disco-tinged uplift to deep, dubby hypnotism. Rather than a showcase of features, the album flows as one unified statement, a celebration of community, connection, and the timeless energy of House music.

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, Tal Fussman, Frankey & Sandrino, Mathias Kaden, Huxley, and many more.

Oliver Dollar’s ‘Contemporary’ LP on Rekids is a genuine team eﬀort, bringing together some of the brightest voices and producers for a masterpiece that seamlessly blends modern and classic House, Dub, and Disco.

French producer Darlyn Vlys makes a striking return to Pets Recordings, following up his 2023 single 'Surrender' with a new two-track release... this time, in search of 'Salvation.'

The EP captures Vlys' sharp sense for atmosphere and groove, balancing emotion with precision. Title track 'Salvation' channels a robotic electro pulse, its dark synths and throbbing basslines surging with controlled intensity... a dancefloor current designed to spark movement and tension in equal measure.

On the flip, 'Dominion' takes command with marching rhythms, growling low-end, and sharp percussive detail, cementing Vlys' ability to merge human instinct with machine soul.

Serbian DJ/producer Mene returns to Rebellion for his second appearance on the label with his latest EP, ‘Hustle Flow’. Renowned for his adept ability to deliver slick house cuts with a darker edge, Mene has released music via esteemed labels such as Desolat, Revival New York, Moxy Muzik, and Hottrax, among others. Now his tripped-out three-tracker on Damian Lazarus’ imprint, out on 12th December, delivers the perfect journey as we dive deeper into the late-night, moody hours of club season.
The title track, ‘Depth Over Distance,’ is a dark, brooding cut where idiosyncratic arpeggiated synths meet wild cosmic stabs and slick male vocals. Up next, ‘Our Town’ sees Mene up the ante, with a driving low-end and playful percussive rhythms that meander through an eerie key. Closing the EP, ‘At Least’ dials up the energy, brimming with grit and intensity, the cut oozes percussive flair, laid over breathy vocal textures.
