Swiss producer Deetron makes a triumphant return to Rejected, marking his first release on the label since the seminal 2011 anthem Starblazer. A genre-spanning artist renowned for fluidly navigating the electronic spectrum, from muscular house via Nu Groove to pure techno on Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR and DJ Bone's Subject Detroit.

His new release, 'Discovery', is a rare excavation from the archives. Two long-lost tracks unearthed and reborn from the depths of his fathoms-deep projects folder. Reinvigorated with fresh production and perspective.

'The EP is called Discovery because it's based upon tracks that I rediscovered from a while back and re-worked for today,' explains Deetron. 'The title track was just a draft, created with the Alpha Juno 106. I added the bassline later on and put the finishing touches to it last year, so it has been a long process.'

On the B-side, 'Acid Scape' ventures into cosmic terrain. 'It speaks for itself,' he continues. 'I've long been making music that could be called Acid in some way, but I've never actually owned a 303. This piece in particular was made with an FM synth (Yamaha TX81Z) and reflects my fascination with space. A landscape on a distant planet if you will.'

A return. A rediscovery. A release that reminds us why Deetron remains one of electronic music's most enduring and forward-thinking voices.

Ketiov, one half of Catz ‘n Dogz, teams up with fellow Polish artist Edvinn for the ‘10 Hours Extravaganza’ EP, marking the tenth release for Radio Slave’s REK’D, landing 15th August 2025.

The pair open with ‘Extravaganza’, a cut that taps into the foundations of Classic House with a spoken-word vocal that feels lifted from a vintage Chicago record. Buoyant drums roll underneath as warm chord vamps bring soul to the groove until a soaring female vocal breaks through, lifting the track into full-blown rapture.

Up next, ‘10 Hours’ ramps up the intensity, its tension building through sharp filtering before unleashing a turbo-charged House groove with full-throttle synths, jacking percussion, and vocal stabs designed to push the energy to the limit.

As one half of Catz ‘n Dogz, Ketiov has shaped global dance floors and contributed to his own co-founded Pets Recordings and its oﬀshoot, Step Recordings, alongside labels like Radio Slave’s flagship Rekids imprint, Defected, and plenty more labels.

As a solo artist, he delves deeper into House for the ‘10 Hours Extravaganza’ EP, linking up with Edvinn, a Warsaw-based DJ and producer whose sound blends 90s and 00s house and techno influences with a strong percussive focus, having released on outlets such as Planet Rhythm, Frenzy Recordings, and Step Recs.

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

TDDE (Third Dimension Dance Encounter) began when Pan-Pot accidentally spun a record backward at exactly 3:33 AM, tearing a rift through space-time and summoning a dancefloor from the fourth dimension. Out poured creatures made of soundwaves and strobe-light dust, who insisted on co-producing the track using zero-gravity turntables and vibes compressed into crystal form. Every drop in the song corresponded to a collapse in physical law-basslines folding gravity, hi-hats opening portals, synths bending causality into grooves. At the climax, time briefly reversed, and the studio became a sentient disco ball that whispered the final mix into their minds. 

TDDE drops August 28th, 2025 on all platforms-wear something interdimensional and bring your best atoms to the floor.

Matt Edwards drops his eagerly anticipated debut Radio Slave album ‘Feel The Same’ via his Rekids imprint in September.

Easily his most recognisable nom de plume, Radio Slave was initially Matt’s pseudonym for remixes, with early reinterpretations of Kylie Minogue and New Order leading into frequent work for both major and independent labels. He’s now indisputably one of House and Techno’s most in-demand remixers, whilst original Radio Slave productions have gone on to appear via reputable imprints like Running Back, R&S, Ostgut Ton, Nonplus and Work Them Records.
Instrumental in supporting the music and careers of artists such as Nina Kraviz, Spencer Parker, Gerd Janson, and many others via his label Rekids - Edwards is held in high regard for his A&R abilities and has also established numerous other renowned labels such as Pyramids Of Mars, Cabin Fever, and The Double R. Now, more than 10 years since Rekids' inception and with over 100 releases under its belt, the influential figure announces the release of his debut Radio Slave album; a masterpiece of sophisticated electronic music that evokes the early spirit of dance music yet continues to forge his reputation as a cutting edge and innovative producer.

The album is a culmination of years as a DJ, producer and remixer; with influences spanning a range of genres such as breaks and jungle, acid, Balearic, ambient, dub, Chicago and also vocal samples exemplary of the Radio Slave sound. Opening with the beatless ‘2nd Home’, with its murky tones and field recordings, the album navigates between syncopated beats and ethereal voices as found in
‘Forana’, as well as screeching synths and moody basslines like in ‘Trans’. More high tempo cuts like ‘Geisterstadt’ see Edwards shift towards electro, whereas heady break beats lay the foundation for ‘With You’. Alongside the album’s title track ‘Feel The Same’, ‘No Words / Just This’ is one of the most dance floor focused cuts with its driving energy and metallic synths, while ‘Axis’ and ‘Draw’ see the producer venture towards a more minimal aesthetic.

Under his various guises Matt Edwards has continued to demonstrate how musically diverse he is as a producer without any compromise in quality. His REKID moniker features more of his downtempo work with a album release on Soul Jazz, not to mention timeless releases like ‘Next Stop Chicago’ and ‘Lost Star’ which still remain iconic today. The ‘RedHead’ LP saw the producer demonstrate his ability to collage sounds under The Machine, whilst alongside close friend Joel Martin the Quiet Village project is cinematic and heavily sample based, exploring evocative and understated soundscapes.

Exhibiting many of his signature production abilities whilst also demonstrating his more experimental side, ‘Feel The Same’ is an exceptional body of work that exemplifies Matt Edwards’ production and music writing, reaching a new level of sophistication. From start to finish the album is a testament to his versatility as an artist and a definitive full-length by one of electronic music’s most pivotal figures.
