Slowly but surely, a constellation of young artists have expanded around Ali, Basti, Philipp "Santé". In the night, they share the same decks thanks to the newly created Souvenir Booking entity. During the day, they swap beats and samples in the studio of Tiefschwarz located in Prenzlauer Berg, building up a new creative energy, which is giving birth to the 23rd release of Souvenir on vinyl.Adam Port, Re.You and Rampa, already had their own shines this year on Souvenir. Now, it´s the turn of &ME (Front Room, Keinmusik) and Fischer & Kleber to release a new must-have record permeated with the best groove coming from the German capital city. On the A-side, &ME brilliantly hurts with "Bleed". He punches on the left with an unstoppable drum, weaves on the right with an hypnotic loop, that stirs mental alertness up, barks his anger with a digital "Whouah" going fast and forward and compelling any dancer to incredible footwork. Knocked Out! Robert Fischer & Niklas Kleber had in common an electronic liveact "Discokonzentrat" (High `N´Rising records) and a band "Spurv Laerke" before bringing in their new project, Fischer & Kleber. They set with "Berki" on the flipside the singular but no less enjoyable soundscape of a cathedral under construction. Lightening up with deeply felt and almost religious whispers, the shrilling noises of computer-generated machine-tool, the mechanical and cold precision of a pitched down digital rock-drill, the duo turns "Berki" into a canticle of the new Millennium.

Pablo Arbelaez lays down three mesmerising and incredibly well made tracks on this latest Sun Theory release entitled “Purun”. Deep basslines, trippy pads and spaced out melodies are setting the tone for this cutting edge electronic music expedition. The tracks are tailored towards the late night, early morning dancefloor moments, where the vibe is loose and the dancers are locked into the music. Pablo is skilfully balancing high energy grooves and spellbinding soundscapes on this fantastic new release.

German-Romanian duo Frankey & Sandrino come back to Rekids with the Please EP, landing 10th October 2025 alongside a remix from Echonomist. They follow their 2022 Brainscan EP on Radio Slave’s label, as well as a remix for Denney in 2023.

With an irresistible bassline, smooth melody, and a nostalgia-fuelled vocal, Please is the kind of track you hear as you walk into a busy tent at a festival—hands in the air, energy abundant. Frankey & Sandrino are masters at crafting emotional dancefloor bangers, going a little deeper on the progressive Genie, building up to busy stabs and mind-melting, futuristic sound design.

Completing the EP, the pair call in Greek DJ and producer Echonomist to remix Please. The Innervisions and Exit Strategy artist strips the original back, transforming it into a dark, hypnotic groover built for smoke-lit dance floors.

"The original had this beautiful Depeche Mode 80s vibe, but for the remix I wanted to take it into a different space, closer to the Detroit sound I love, a bit like Carl Craig’s approach. Something more hypnotic and club-focused, but still keeping the emotion of Frankey & Sandrino’s track." – Echonomist

Frankey & Sandrino are a German duo that has been shaping dance floors since 2009 with their distinct, trend-defying sound. With releases on Kompakt, Diynamic, and their own Sum Over Histories, and regular appearances at clubs like fabric and Stereo, they now return to Rekids with the Please EP.

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 Harry Romero, Tal Fussman, Spencer Parker, The Hacker, and more.

That man (M4version)

Marino Loco is a commited Italian music fan who loves Snilloc's music and of course the traditional Neapolitan techno. Original mix is a breaking 4/4 with a tense synth coming front slowly from the back. A real peaktime bomb which detonates_ the floor surely. Hi!Fly Music's famous Yvel&Tristan created a darker mesmerizing remix for Marino Loco which follows the same synth line and never unleash you from dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing.
