Chicago’s James Curd joins Radio Slave’s REK’D with the 'Warm Welcome’ two-tracker. The title track, ‘Warm Welcome’, is an elegant House cut with loved-up vocal loops, life-aﬃrming melodies and jazzy keys. All of which bring classy, sophisticated good times over a raw, driving beat. The vibes keep flowing on 'Keep It Up', which features Dusty Lee’s funky guitar licks and soulful harmonies over snappy grooves, its rich instrumentation and clever sampling echoing early Disco-House sounds and oozing timeless quality.

"I've been a longtime admirer of Radio Slave, whose remix of my 2004 release Keep It Down on Classic Music Company still stands the test of time. Rekids has always been a label I turn to for inspiration, so it feels full circle to now release Warm Welcome with them. When I stepped into the studio, I had Rekids in mind, pushing myself to craft something with a bit more grit and edge. The tracks came together almost instinctively as if they were writing themselves while I moved through the studio on autopilot. Keep It Up was taken to the next level with Dusty Lee’s live guitar work—he laid down a few raw takes, and I sifted through to piece together the perfect moments that brought the track to life."- James Curd

PRONTO label boss James Curd joins Rekids oﬀshoot REK’D following a long list of releases on labels like Shall Not Fade, Classic, and Defected. His work has been remixed by Kai Alce, Byron The Aquarius, Derrick Carter, and many more, with his own remix credits for artists like Rufus Du Sol, Honey Dijon & The Blessed Madonna. In other media, Curd’s music has found a home in video game Grand Theft Auto, film and TV The Incredibles & Grey’s Anatomy, and soon the film ‘Come With Me’ starring Ron Perlman & Theo Rossi, which James Curd scored and
music supervised.

Pets Recordings is delighted to welcome our dear friend and Italian Stallion, Bawrut, back to the label for the first of two EPs crafted during one of the most transformative moments of his life - awaiting the arrival of his first child. We proudly present: 'Papa Bawrut 1'.

In Italian, 'Papa' carries a dual meaning: both the affectionate name for a father and the revered title of the Pope. While we won't be anointing Bawrut as an earthbound deity just yet, we do kneel before his almighty beats and dancefloor mastery.

The EP opens with 'Gallopp', a track born from rediscovered sound files buried deep within Bawrut's laptop. As he puts it:

'The metallic sounds and percussive pace remind me of a horse galloping. or maybe it's my little one, kicking like a future champion.'

Following this is 'Good', a tune that lives up to its name. Inspired by a Daft Punk documentary stumbled upon on YouTube, the track originally bore the working title 'DP 1' before evolving in line with its irresistible vocal sample. Making it pretty damn good!

With 'Papa Bawrut 1', our prolific pal delivers two sizzling club-ready cuts, designed with one mission in mind - making people move.

So come on, Papa. let's dance!

Italian artists Lonely & Michael Js team up on Rekids’ REK’D sublabel with the ‘Libre’ EP. First up, Desolat artist and SICK MODE label boss Lonely drops title track ‘Libre’, a drummy groove keeping pace along a hypnotic, sultry Latin vocal and an earworm bitcrushed melody. Lonely is then joined by DJ and producer Michael Js, known for his sets at Fotonica Festival, ADE, Space Ibiza, LAB Madrid, and more, for ‘Lonemind’, featuring a rolling House beat, zippy synthlines and high-impact sampling, closing out the ‘Libre’ EP already supported by the likes of Laurent Garnier, Gina Breeze, and Marco Faraone.

“After a long night in Ibiza...I spent some time near the sea, and the sunrise and the sound of the waves inspired me to this track that with the delicacy of the words of the Spanish vocal that screams this sense of freedom that is exactly what I was feeling at that moment.”
– Lonely

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, Odee X, James Juke, James Curd, and more.

Chile’s Matias Aguayo debuts on Rekids with ‘El Internet’, the first single of his upcoming album on Radio Slave’s acclaimed label. Coméme co-founder Aguayo’s ‘El Internet’ is a dancefloor-tested, pumping and uptempo track with personal, intimate vocals phoning in.

“El Internet” tells about walking through the city in hot summer nights looking for the perfect dancefloor and about moments in life where you feel (musical) freedom and change, revolutions in music and dreams in community, about YouTube, MySpace, Fotolog and about people who dance in their houses, yards and on the streets to primitive, raw, and direct music (like the rhythm of the track itself).”
- Matias Aguayo

Chilean-born musician and DJ Matias Aguayo has been active for three decades, co-founding the Cómeme label in 2009 and releasing work on the likes of Kompakt, Pschent, Hard Fist, and Permanent Vacation. Beyond music, he has organised underground parties and led social projects, including a theatre production at Le Châtelet in Paris.

Radio Slave’s Rekids was founded in 2006 and has since spawned successful oﬀshoots with the Techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its newest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as the sole A&R, Rekids has been crucial in developing early artist careers and has become a haven for established acts operating in House and adjacent genres, having recently featured the likes of Hilit Kolet, William Kiss, Tal Fussman, Spencer Parker, Katerina, Sean Johnston, and many more.

Lazystep Collective isn’t just dropping a compilation—they’re igniting a movement. With the launch of Lazy Records, this Dominican powerhouse rooted in Valencia’s pulsating DIY scene delivers a debut VA that’s equal parts love letter to their roots and middle finger to the mainstream.

Six tracks. Six producers. One unstoppable vision. Every producer in the Lazystep family brings their A-game here. This release embodies the collective’s mantra: Stay Lazy, Stay Loud. It’s the sound of late-night sessions in Santo Domingo, of analog gear humming under palm trees, of a generation refusing to be boxed in.

Consider this the first spark. Lazy Records isn’t just unveiling the Dominican scene—they’re building a bridge between the Caribbean and the global stage. Buckle up; the lazies are here to stay, and it’s anything but sleepy.

A forgotten classic from 1997, rediscovered by the new generation of house leaders.

Originally released in the late ’90s, Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series is one of those rare gems — deep, funky, soulful, and full of the raw, analog groove that defines the golden age of house. Missed by many at the time, the records are now enjoying a well-deserved revival, championed by today’s leading selectors like Dam Swindle, ANOTR, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Disclosure, Barry Can't Swim, Salute, Chloé Caillet, Known Artist, Sidney Charles, Shonky, Danny Howard and more.

Already a respected figure in the Antwerp scene back then, Marius Acke had co-produced numerous records for Mixz Productions and the iconic ARS label, including remixes for acts like Technotronic. His sound blended US-influenced house with early hip-hop sensibilities and deep, synth-laced textures, earning him a cult following among vinyl diggers and local DJs alike.

Happiness Therapy is proud to give new life to this essential piece of Belgian house history with a reissue of the Crucial Traxx EP series. All tracks have been carefully remastered and will be available on both vinyl and digital formats, including a special limited edition of 100 translucent red vinyl copies. HTCT01 marks the beginning of a reissue series dedicated to the lost gems of Marius Acke’s discography.

More than just a nostalgic reissue, this EP reminds us how visionary Acke’s sound truly was. Rooted in the 90s, but crafted with a timeless sense of balance and soul.

Essential then. Essential now. Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series proves that real house music never fades, it just waits for the right moment to shine again.
