@jon_hester__ ’s ‘Here and Present EP’ just dropped on Rekids Special Projects.
It’s always an exciting day when I hear new music from Jon. A longtime friend of mine and the label, with multiple releases on @rspx_official and his ‘Convergence’ project among the best techno we’ve released on @rekids_official , he’s been a real staple in our catalogue so it’s great to have him back with four techno workouts.
Amazing to see so many positive reactions to this one. Thanks to @laurent_garnier , @bloodymary_dj , @ciscoadvent , @inox_traxx , @markwilliams_dj , @bailey_ibbs , @dvs1hush , and many more.
You can listen, download, and buy the tracks everywhere now.

Thank you to everyone at @tresorberlin on Saturday night, it felt fantastic to be back in the basement mixing frequencies in good company. I was excited to combine a wide range of energetic sounds for the occasion - from super fresh promos to eternal classics, raw grooves to expansive compositions. It was wonderful to see you all enjoying yourselves on the dance floor - thanks for coming on that journey with me, and for all the kind words after my set. A special thank you once again to @tony_surgeon for the invitation!
This Saturday night I’m excited to return to @tresorberlin , playing 4-7am in the basement - thank you @tony_surgeon for the invitation! The clocks change at 2am that night, springing ahead to 3am. If you’d rather not deal with the math, getting there an extra hour earlier should do the trick. Come early, warp through time, stay late! See you in the abyss!
Fides Records continues its 10-year anniversary series with X5. This chapter broadens the emotional range weaving together dub pressure, sunrise euphoria, cinematic depth, and leftfield textures.
