Mexican electronic music artist Pinto, a rapidly rising force and founding member of Vatos Locos, is set to release his "Talismán" EP on Duro Label on May 30, 2025. Known for his impeccable mixing technique, underground groove, and timeless style, Pinto delivers a four-track exploration of house that showcases his versatility and innovative sound.

The EP opens with the title track, "Talismán," a refreshing house cut designed for the dancefloor. It features vibrant keyboards, a playful bassline, and a stong rhythmic section. "Plastic City" follows, injecting a dose of energy with its tight bass, hypnotic and frenetic atmosphere, cowbells, alarms, and resonant leads.

The journey continues with Theus Mago's edit of "Ghost in a Box." The acclaimed Mexican producer infuses the track with his signature sound, characterized by a booming, dynamic bass, rolling rhythms, a slightly schizophrenic atmosphere, and ghostly keyboards. Rounding out the EP is Pinto's original mix of "Ghost in a Box," a powerful dancefloor weapon. Its solid drum work and potent bassline create a captivating sonic voyage through ghostly keyboards, cowbells, and echoes.

Pinto has cultivated a strong presence in the electronic music scene, holding a residency at Bar Américas since 2011 with his "Localafiesta" night and founding the artistic multiverse LAFT. His ability to weave eclectic narratives through his sets, spanning house and techno, has earned him international recognition. Pinto's impressive performance history includes appearances at renowned clubs such as Club Der Visionaere (Berlin), The Egg (London), and Bar Americas (Mexico). His discography spans esteemed labels like Body Parts, Vatos Locos, Deeperfect, and Nite Grooves.

After ten years of shaping dance floors with his distinctive sound, Mexican producer Theus Mago unveils "MUN/SEA," his long awaited debut album. This milestone release marks a significant evolution for the project that began in 2014 amid the vibrant electronic music scene of Paris.

"MUN/SEA" represents a departure from Theus Mago's previously darker sonic palette, offering a more expansive journey through the artist's diverse influences. The album effortlessly navigates between genres—from the innocently exuberant "Do Androids Dream Of Dinosaurs?" to the pulsating energy of rave anthem "The F Train," seamlessly blending techy house rhythms with techno-infused indie dance moments.

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.

THIS IS MEANT030 - MARC HOULE - WAS IST DAS EP
RELEASE : July 2025. Pre-Save : bfan.link/was-ist-das-1

Everywhere and nowhere, there are those who transcend.
Properly. Philly’s finest. Head of the cult.
Started low, flew continental.
Real-deal believer. A true one.
Respect where it’s due.
Without him — well — we’re almost nothing.
Shouts to the spine.

But some beliefs dig deeper.
Much.
The kind that hum beneath the floors.
Started quiet, now it’s creeping.
Tremors. REMAIN feels it.
Not alone in the twitch.
Some have been fiending for a new Marc Houle record.
He knows. They know.
We all know at least one who has.
Don’t lie.

From Restore to Bay of Figs, from weird to wide.
Techno vocals. Raw loops.
Backwards analog love.

REMAIN has been starving.
And starving for sound — well — that’s sacred.
He’s been craving for more.

There are those who wait. There are those who believe.
There are those who make things happen.
And those who get lucky.
Today, the lucky ones: that’s you.
The wait is over. The hunger fed.
The cult rejoices.
The time: NOW.

But wait — WAS IST DAS ?
Ah, yes :

« WAS IST DAS »

That’s the name.
That’s the spell.
You’re not supposed to understand.
You’re supposed to feel it.

Marc touched it. Twisted it.
Let it rise weird and wonderful.
Only he could. And he did.

MARC IS ALL YOU WANTED

We knew.
So here.
Go.

With love.
Always.

Marc Houle - Breakout (Original Mix)_MEANT030

Out now: https://orcd.co/REKIDS250x

Mathias Kaden's ‘Freedom’ on Rekids receives the remix treatment 1st August 2025, with a new version from Kaden, as well as a dub mix from Radio Slave. Initially released as part of his 2024 ‘Circulate’ EP on the label, the release won support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, TSHA, and Dam Swindle.

Rooted in soul but geared for the dancefloor, Mathias Kaden’s uptempo rework of ‘Freedom’ toughens the original’s groove while allowing its jazz and dub-inflected stabs, strings, and keys to shine through, all while stripping back the track’s memorable spoken-word sample. Meanwhile, Radio Slave’s eleven-minute dub mix is a hypnotic, slow-burning and dreamlike track, built on spacious layering and a hauntingly re-emergent vocal. A full instrumental completes the package, with Kaden and Radio Slave joining previous ‘Freedom’ remixer William Kiss in oﬀering three distinctive takes on the track.

“Radio Slave asked me for the stems of „Freedom" and created a truly inspiring version of the track. Even when playing my original, I always had a diﬀerent version in mind—and with my uptempo remake, I was finally able to bring that vision to life.” Mathias Kaden

Active since the mid-90s, Mathias Kaden appeared on Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time in 2019, adding to a versatile discography on labels like Cocoon and Vakant while also remixing work by DJ Koze, KiNK, Monika Kruse, Trentemöller.

Mathias Kaden - Freedom (Instrumental)

Alvaro De Rossi - Ese Tambor

Ecstasy(deep version)

Movement is a six-track study in kinetic pressure: distorted kicks, glitch-tight percussion, and monolithic sub-bass drive a cold, mechanical flow. No melodies, no pads—just relentless motion shaped by micro-glitches and sparse, robotic female fragments. Built for the 4 AM basement: linear, hypnotic, and brutally minimal.
