Berlin-based producer Lapien serves up an atmospheric three tracker on Radio Slave’s Rekids.

Also known as Metropolis or one half of Artefakt, Nick Lapien’s last three releases have landed on Finale Sessions, Fred P’s Soul People Music and DVS1’s Mistress Recordings.

Releasing on Rekids, the multifaceted Dutch artist’s next outing features three mesmerising cuts with the dusky ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ initiating the package using infectious hats, subtle sub-bass and an indistinguishable vocal that ebbs subtly in and out of the mix.
‘As It Is’ is the most robust number on the package with its undulating percussion and moody chords taking centre stage, until ‘Vexed’ concludes everything with gloomy pads, shuffling hats
and echoing effects.

LAPIEN - A CHANGE IS GONNA COME EP - REKIDS093

You might know Ben Evers as one half of Adana Twins – but now he’s stepping out solo again, and stepping up. Fueled by the raw energy of electronic music and a deep connection to the dancefloor, Ben blends house, R&B and hip hop influences into a sound that’s both emotional and powerful. Years on the global circuit as a DJ, plus serious studio chops, have shaped him into a truly versatile artist with his own voice and vision.
This release marks a new chapter – a personal statement wrapped in rhythm, built for big rooms and intimate spaces alike. It’s Ben in full control, letting the vibe unfold with every beat.

Joining the ride is Anna Schreit – a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her fluid style and deep musical roots.
Raised on her father’s art rock and shaped by both the raw pulse of Berlin’s underground and her formative time in Munich, Anna has carved out a name for herself with genre-bending sets and a fearless approach to house and beyond. A resident at Sisyphos, she brings her own flavour to the release with a killer remix that hits just right – slick, unrelenting, and dripping with intent.
A heavyweight collab from two artists who know exactly where they’re going – and aren’t afraid to take the scenic route.

Ben Evers - One Touch

Pre-order: https://dualistinquiry.bandcamp.com/album/get-you-back-single

@dualistinquiry returns to his @dualismrec imprint with a new single that delivers emotional whiplash on the dancefloor, 'Get You Back', exploring the push and pull of desire and uncertainty.

“Get You Back is what happens when a dancefloor anthem gets tangled up in its own feelings,” he says. “It’s bouncy, driving, dreamy, and just a little ridiculous, enough to keep bodies moving and hearts confused. The whole thing feels like a high-speed chase scene where you're fleeing from a solitary-flower-wielding pursuer who wants you back, but it's too little, too late.”

Japanese Techno pioneer Ken Ishii returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Autopilot’ EP, arriving 22nd August 2025. It follows his first appearance on the label in 2023, where he collaborated with Dutch duo Kamara on the ‘Powerplay’ single.

‘Autopilot’ kicks oﬀ with an unsuspecting, rolling groove while playful synths sneak up and bounce oﬀ its rhythm. The trip continues with ‘Sunset Flight’, lush chords washing over deep, subby low-end, rising high before delving back into the background while delicious percs play between its pounding kick drums. Closer ‘Grid Bounce’ then returns to mischief, machine-like sequences tumbling over an unrelenting beat, excellently building pressure for maximum dancefloor wonk.

“With this EP, I wanted to combine the funky and happy side of my music with driving techno elements. The EP and track titles were inspired when I was on a long-haul flight. So happy to release these three tracks in one EP.”
– Ken Ishii

DJ and producer Ken Ishii is one of the founding artists behind the Japanese Techno scene, he debuted on R&S Records in 1993 and quickly rose to global acclaim, releasing on labels like Harthouse, Exceptional, and now Rekids’ RSPX oﬀshoot, while collaborating with artists like Jeﬀ Mills, who remixed Ishii’s 2019 ‘MOBÏUS STRIP’ album on U/M/A/A.

Ken Ishii - AutoPilot

Tomi Kokki, a producer and a DJ hailing from Helsinki, Finland. His productions, as well as his DJ sets, explore genres ranging between Trance, Breakbeat, Rave and Progressive-House, while blending the classic dance music soundscapes with modern. Lost In Time is a 4-track descent into raw euphoria and hard-edged emotional control. Avoiding trance clichés, this record leans into repetition, tension, and pressure over easy payoffs. It's trance for the emotionally exhausted — functional, unromantic, and weaponized.

The creation of the EP "Lost in Time" was heavily inspired by the beginning of the Finnish summer. But it was also thematically inspired by the current state of the world, leading it being a mix of the opposites: hope and worry, happiness and sadness. 

“Or just the truth: packed away my whole studio a bit too early and I just love to make trance in a DAW environment”

PREMIERE: Tomi Kokki - Don't Worry [Bøne.FM]

Preorder now on Juno: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/shaboom-mark-bell-woman-cry-remixes-ricardo-villalobos-vinyl/1091535-01/?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=premiere&utm_campaign=soundcloud

Mark "Shaboom" Bell's classic Mecca Funk album is best known for its standout cut 'Woman Cry' and it is that fan-fav which gets pressed up here with three fresh reworkings. The classic cut famously opens Andrew Weatherall's iconic Heavenly Social DJ mix and is ripe and ready for these bold reinterpretations from Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Sneak, and Spatial Awareness. Villalobos transforms the 1999 original into a deep, hypnotic journey full of his signature minimal textures, while Sneak delivers a bass-heavy, dub-soaked house bomb made for peak-time floors. Rounding things out, Spatial Awareness offers a respectful yet electrified remix imbued with some fresh sonic flair.

"Ah si si" is a blend of EBM and italo disco, where taut grooves flirt with a bittersweet melancholy tinged with 80s hues. At once an invitation to dance and an introspective dive, the track plays with contrasts — between rhythmic tension and nostalgia.

The voice, sensual and slightly enigmatic, acts as a guiding thread: it ties the influences together, blurs the lines, and gives the whole piece a cohesion that makes it effortlessly ready for the dancefloor.
The italo disco elements are a deliberate nod to Camilliani’s Italian roots and his deep attachment to that musical culture.


Camilliani is no newcomer. In 2007, he made his debut with Pervert Teen, an electro EP released under the name Chairs on Backs, a duo with Yan Wagner on the Missive label. Two years later, he went solo with Fucking Day, a more radical techno EP under the alias Swaan, on Estrella Rec.

After a long hiatus, he returns under a new identity, Camilliani, and unveils Ah si si, his third project.
