Melja is Nathan Ifergan, a  producer from Maisons-Alfort in France. Too young to attend our nighttime parties (sorry, dude) on his last visit, he came in contact with the world of Mister Saturday Night at Co-Op 87, a great little record store in Greenpoint. Inspired by what he heard on wax, he made three jams that fit perfectly into the party. Eamon and Justin have been caning them for months. They work every time.

Seasoned remixer Matt Edwards, AKA Radio Slave, closes out his Rekids label’s 2024 with three reimaginations of some of the imprint’s biggest tracks of the year, extending the runtime of all versions beyond the ten-minute mark for wonderfully expansive journeys reminiscent of Edwards’ early dub days.

“Sometimes, you just need to scratch that itch, and I’ve wanted to add my twist to these tracks for quite some time. I am revisiting a period of my productions where I just let things flow. No frills, deep, bumping, hypnotic grooves; I really enjoyed doing these remixes. It’s a great way to finish an incredible year for the label and a shape of things to come in 2025.” - Radio Slave

Moodena & Charles Levine’s ‘Badman’ is up first, with Radio Slave stripping it of its larger-than-life classic House sounds and turning it into a low-slung hypnotic ‘T ell Me Something’ dub. He reworks Man Power & Louisahhh’s ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ next, an introspective trip with daydream piano keys and an irresistible organic groove. Finally, Rekids favourite Hilit Kolet and her ‘Snap T alk’ face Edwards’ deep, chord-infused drums, welded seamless and smooth with Kameelah Waheed’s iconic vocal from the original.

Radio Slave ‘Rekids’ Remixes is classy business from a remix veteran still at the top of his game after more than
twenty years.

Rekids welcomes back Tal Fussman with the I Feel EP, following up his 2024 Definition EP on Radio Slave’s label, which won support from the likes of Honey Dijon, Orlando Voorn, Yu Su, Saoirse, Dave Clarke, and more.

The Innvervisions, COD3QR artist and Survival Tactics label boss starts I Feel with the title track and, in true Fussman fashion, infuses drummy club cuts with plenty of feeling via soulful synths and apt vocal sampling.

The rolling organic percussion of MAD continues, locking us in the groove while hard-hitting stabs fly above before Bongo Man channels the lush sounds of the rainforest alongside more expert drum work.

Closing out the I Feel EP, Tal Fussman works with fellow producer 8-AN to drop the dream-like strings of Life Itself, another deep track that is as club-ready as it is introspective.

Pets Recordings is proud to present the label debut from Panamanian DJ and producer Tom Sawyer. Titled 'Panama', the release is a vibrant, groove-laden homage to his homeland, capturing the heat, diversity, and joyful spirit of South America's electronic underground.

A veteran of the Panamanian scene, Tom brings a deep-rooted understanding of rhythm and atmosphere on the release. 'This is the flavor of the current electronic music scene in Panamá,' he explains. 'Variety with groove and happiness all the time.' Each track was crafted for a different moment on the dancefloor, drawing from the rich musical backdrop of the '90s, the formative era of Panama's club culture.

The EP opens with 'FARAON', a Latin house burner laced with percussive synths and dancefloor-shaking energy. It's a peak-time cut that captures the intensity of a packed club in full swing. From there, 'DRUMA' shifts the vibe with an off-kilter, high-energy twist, blending unique melodic leads with driving rhythm, to create a curveball track that resets and ignites.

Rounding off the release is 'SAME THING', a deeper, more hypnotic affair. Blending tribal grooves with a progressive sensibility, it's the kind of track that builds patiently, perfect for early set storytelling or transitional moments.

Tom's approach to DJing is evident throughout the EP: a steady build, a strong groove, and a sense of connection with the floor. 'I always play like this,' he says. 'Keeping the groove flowing from the warm-up, and letting it build to wherever the people want to go.'

With 'Panama', Tom Sawyer offers a vibrant showcase of both his country's musical heritage and his own vision for the dancefloor. A must-listen for those craving colour, character, and serious groove.

After 2 outings on recent SHOUTS compilations, Asa Tate lands on Rhythm Section Intl proper with a timeless EP - “ Replica”.

Asa Tate, fka Tech Support has been on a bit of a tear recently and this record feels like a real step up: a statement of intention aimed directly at the peak time dance floor.

A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. You’d be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years….Listen more closely and you’ll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.

The EP wastes no time in setting it’s intentions with the A1 Title Track, “Replica” - after a brief and floaty progressive house intro the refrain “ E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ECSTASY” echoes loudly over sampled vocals, euphorias piano chords, throbbing lead synths and a bouncy tech house bass line. It straddles so many sub genres of house without feeling derivative of any of them. Cliche’s and classic samples are embraced playfully and serve to contextualise and elevate the influences. This is not just really great house music or excellent storytelling, it’s art history.

“89” is a sultry deep house cut featuring rising Spanish star, Dariam Coco on Vocals. It floats like a butterfly, but stings like a bee, as the soft chords are interrupted with huge drum fills deftly transforming an after party jam to a peak time moment.

We continue to “ Unknowns” - a masterclass in building tension and holding it - this track simmers with restrained intensity for almost 6 minutes. It’s trademark Asa Tate production at its most understated and classy.

We round of the EP with the fittingly titled “Last Dance”, a wistful composition that brings us back down to earth slowly, safely and gently; always grooving but never pushing - this one is the soundtrack to the end of a long summer day and reaffirms Asa Tate’s claim to be a modern master of Deep House.

We’re super excited to give Ned the platform he deserves and look forward to hearing this one soundtrack many a dance as this long, beautiful summer draws to a close

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.

Hudd Traxx makes label history with its first-ever full-length album, Dial Me In, from long-time affiliate Iron Curtis. Aptly, if it wasn’t going to be label boss Eddie Leader, Curtis is the natural choice — having contributed more tracks across more releases than any other artist in the label’s history.

This 6-track vinyl sampler comes with a download code for the full 10-track album. Across the set, Curtis delivers a rich and varied journey through deep house, ambient textures, and eclectic grooves, flowing effortlessly from club-ready jams to moments made for home listening.

A landmark release for Hudd Traxx — diverse, soulful, and built for both the dancefloor and beyond.

PREMIERE: IRON CURTIS - TROUBLES [HUDD TRAXX]

exclusive | Hessa - What's This Shaker | Días de Campo Records

Valencia’s Días de Campo Records welcomes Hessa for his debut on the label -  and the result is as confident as it is contagious. The 2Vilas co-founder and mastermind behind the sought-after vinyl-only edit series Get A Life and label COSMOS opens his new four-tracker “Funky Talks” with “What’s This Shaker” - a no-nonsense, groove-heavy weapon that instantly demands attention.

From the first bar, it’s clear Hessa knows exactly how to handle tension and repetition. The bassline hits with muscular precision - round, propulsive, and full of that kinetic bounce that makes hips move before the brain catches up. Layered atop are the kind of filtered vocals only the most confident producers can pull off: the sassy, diva-esque fragments, the “in the air” whispers - all orbiting the loop like satellites, teasing familiarity without ever giving too much away.

There’s a hypnotic simplicity to it - that classic trick of turning minimal elements into something massive through pure groove science. The track loops, morphs, evolves - each bass variation tightening the grip, each drop stretching the dancefloor’s collective patience in the best way possible. It’s that magic spot between functional and flamboyant, where the rawness of house meets the sleek discipline of the studio.

“What’s This Shaker” is pure dancefloor engineering - reduced yet rich, playful yet powerful. The kind of track that DJs use to reset the room and dancers use to lose themselves in the loop. It’s Hessa in his element - classy, groovy, and fully in control.
