Gary Beck - Before The Crash

Here’s Diynamic’s „Four To The Floor 28“, a selection of Solomun’s road tested secret weapons.
Opening track „All Over My Body“ by Ben Sterling feat. Superchumbo is a sensual Tech House gem with a hypnotic mantra sticking to you like body oil.
„Here Comes The Ride“ by Viv Castle feat. Kxne is an oddly satisfying audio commentary on all the sensations during music reception.
All you can do is dance.
Malive and Linkage come together on „Pictures“ and create a sensitive dance floor moment for closed eyes and introspection.
And closing off the FTTF28 is Gorgin with „Principal Agent“, a dreamy and melodic send-off into the night.

Close to Custom - Midnight Mangoo

FTTF45 returns with a rollercoaster of fast-forward-thinking sounds, slick synths and no-filter emotions. "Boss Bitch" by Rawfox kicks off with "Mixing" - Spanish vocals riding sharp percussion, built for the first outdoor night of the season, like a cocktail that hits before you even sit down. "Catchaman" by Adapter follows close, pads swirling, kick locked - like that friend who doesn't ask, just pulls you straight to the floor. "Laugh And Play" by Rayan Woods brings the epic high point - powerful vocals and bold sounds that make everything feel exactly right in that one moment. "Fold" by Beswerda closes it out, offering space to pack all those memories away like treasures. Each track rides with you on every step of your journey — one night, four turns, zero slowdown.

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.

THE BELLS / PURPOSE MAKER / JEFF MILLS / AXIS - Jeff Mills flagship track from Kat Moda was one of the finest techno releases of the 1990's.  It's pretty much Holy Grail.  So first things first, I've been spending most of my free time making music.  Sometimes I get lucky.  In fact if this version didn't excell while I was creating it, I would have simply walked away and left it alone.  But it began to sound really good & punchy.  I started feeling like Jeff would really enjoy it.  

I mean "Let No Man Put Asunder" is one of the most sampled vocals of all time.  But the placement of the words in this one, I heard it in an old 2011 track by Butch, and knew it would accent The Bells well.  It's really subjective but I will leave it up to you.   Enjoy.

Noha, born and raised in Rome, Italy, developed a deep passion for music early on. His career gained momentum with the release of “Echo,” which quickly garnered 1.5 million streams, followed by a collaborative EP with Archie Hamilton that further cemented his reputation.

In 2017, he founded PanickPanick! Records to showcase his own productions and support emerging talents. Around the same time, he launched the project Pathagonia with Alex Tea—their release “Chi Ci Pensa” made a notable impact, surpassing 1 million streams and earning support from artists like Enzo Siragusa, Pawsa, and Villalobos. This recognition led to performances in renowned clubs such as Watergate, Vent, StereoBar, Flash, and many more.

In 2023, Noha wrapped up the year with an EP on Visionquest and a U.S. tour.
Looking ahead to 2025, he has new releases lined up with Rossi’s label Homegrown, including a showcase at After Caposile. His EP “Silver Snake” will drop on Archie Hamilton’s MicroHertz, paired with a performance in Barcelona during the Sonar OFF week. 
He will also debut his track “Stella” on Michael Bibi’s acclaimed label Solid Grooves.
