Zobol - Foreign Objects - SF001

After ten years of shaping dance floors with his distinctive sound, Mexican producer Theus Mago unveils "MUN/SEA," his long awaited debut album. This milestone release marks a significant evolution for the project that began in 2014 amid the vibrant electronic music scene of Paris.

"MUN/SEA" represents a departure from Theus Mago's previously darker sonic palette, offering a more expansive journey through the artist's diverse influences. The album effortlessly navigates between genres—from the innocently exuberant "Do Androids Dream Of Dinosaurs?" to the pulsating energy of rave anthem "The F Train," seamlessly blending techy house rhythms with techno-infused indie dance moments.

Matt Ryder, AKA Odee X, comes back to Radio Slave’s REK’D with the ‘Agent X’ EP 4th July 2025. It follows the London artist’s ‘X-Ray’ EP, which came out on the Rekids sibling earlier this year, and won support from Laurent Garnier, Honey Dijon, Sean Johnston, and many more.

First up on Odee X’s ‘Agent X’ EP is the title track, making a grand and classy entry via jazz-inflected melodies, while dub hits provide weight. Breaks slice through its mellow vibe, with the Reprise version stripping things back to lush atmospheres.

Next, ‘Promised Land’ rolls on with a tough kick underpinning soft harmonies and a deep vocal sample before ‘The Dreamer’ continues with more expert sampling, its rhythm and chords tumbling over one another and closing a versatile package for the REK’D label.

Formerly known as B.U.U.G, Odee X has released on labels like Street Tracks, Nightmayors, and REK’D. He has won club and festival plays from the likes of John Digweed and Josh Wink, with his takes on contemporary House, Techno, and Breakbeat also landing spins on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music.

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, DCLVIII OFC, James Juke, James Curd, and more.

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.

Descend into the Mines of Moron, where yourFlatmate and Yendor carve out mutant prog house from deep beneath the club floor. This six-track excavation unearths pressure-cooked oddities—raw percussive strata, mineral-rich grooves, and psychedelic fumes leaking from every fault line. Glen S. drills deeper with a Bodyfuck Remix that liquefies the foundations, while Cybernet welds a chrome-plated reconstruction fit for alien machinery. This is a multidimensional core sample cut from the weirder seams of the mine . Handle with gloves—some surfaces may still be volatile.

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.

Berlin’s ZentaSkai continues his slew of limited-run 200-copy vinyl releases via his Mask Records this July, presenting the ‘JIMMY’ EP, and following up last year’s ‘Bob’ EP and two instalments from his Cuddling Monsters project with Laura Merino Allue. Across the four tracks on ‘JIMMY’, ZentaSkai delves deep, placing mysterious, foreboding synths over crunchy taped drums and exploring a variety of tempos. Dub influences are rife, its elements echoing across carefully laid-out Techno grooves while minimal shifts subtly build the energy. With ‘JIMMY’, ZentaSkai once again offers a journey through sound already supported by Luke Slater, Blasha & Allatt, Truncate, Elisa Bee, and many more. ZentaSkai (aka No Mad Ronin, Matt Nowak, and MASK) is a German DJ and producer active since 1997. Based out of his studio in Berlin, ZentaSkai runs the Zaijenroots label and, since 2017, the Mask sub-label, which houses his stunning 2023 ‘Architecture of the Mind’ LP as well as his Cuddling Monsters alias - with other credits including a release on Jerome Sydenham’s Ibadan Records and support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Marcel Dettmann, Luke Slater, Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Ben Sims and Radio Slave.

PREMIERE: Zobol - Descending (Sci-Fact)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-zobol-foreign-objects

'Foreign Objects' EP takes inspiration from a frankly terrifying sequence of events culminating in a near death experience. Fortunately for us, @zobol used the ordeal as stimulus for this record.

Zobol - Foreign Objects [SCI-FACT]

Momentum, harsh lights, speeding cars in a plume of acrid air. Perched, immovable as life's effervescence passes around and through their features. The little motorised ants like little nodes in an immense, unfathomable industrial network. Their occupants speaking indistinctly, creating abstraction and a performance they don’t realise they are part of. When their lane changes, they have no idea why, but they adapt. When they realise, they aren’t communicating with the other occupants, they reverse; only to find the road pushes them forward on a never-ending conveyer belt. Towards and indescribable fiction they can’t attain, their myopia, their reality.

Bristol-based SCI-FACT label’s inaugural release comes in the form of a five track EP, 'Foreign Objects'  from Jon Chmielewski AKA Zobol. The rather aptly named title refers to a near death experience that occurred as a result of a wisdom tooth removal gone awry. Two shards of metal (from a dental drill), depicted in the record artwork, were accidentally sewn into Chmielewski’s jaw, leading to an admission into a Panamanian hospital for the treatment of sepsis. Now back in a creative space Zobol explores dark, ethereal textures with glistening, melodic tonality and driving, momentum-inducing beats.
