Description
Mathias Kaden, who has played a central role at prestigious labels such as Vakant and Cocoon since the mid-90s and is also known for his remix by DJ Koze, presents supreme deep house on Rekids.
Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids, a label run by Radio Slave that holds an important place in his career. Having started his career in the mid-90s, he has led the German scene with his outstanding skills, serving as a flagship artist for Vakant and contributing to important works on Sven Väth's Cocoon, all of which are fully displayed in this release.
For this collaboration, he has invited Dutch talent Zoë Xenia, who has previously shown great chemistry with him, to provide vocals. The original version of "Fyutr" is a slow-burner that gradually raises the temperature. As the slowly evolving dub chords layer with Zoë Xenia's ethereal spoken-word vocals, flowing strings lead the listener into a timeless realm of deep house.
Furthermore, it includes a remix by New York house legend Dennis Ferrer. Kaden, whose talent was once recognized by DJ Koze, leading to a remix, draws on his experience remixing for KiNK and Trentemøller to assemble a top-tier lineup for this release. Ferrer skillfully processes the original vocals, elevating them into a rich, stripped-back house track with a powerful floor-ready finish.

Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with ‘Fyutr’, featuring Zoë Xenia and a remix from Dennis Ferrer. The single is a preview of Kaden’s upcoming album. Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with ‘Fyutr’, following his previous four releases on the label and once again linking up with DJ, producer, and vocalist Zoë Xenia, who also featured on his 2022 ‘Blackbird’ EP on the label. Set for release on 27th February 2026, the single offers an early glimpse into Kaden’s forthcoming album on Radio Slave’s flagship imprint, and comes with a remix from New York House legend, Dennis Ferrer.
A slow-burner with real progression, Mathias Kaden’s ‘Fyutr’ unfolds as a mind-melting journey. Dub chords creep in gently before stretching and mutating, while Zoë Xenia’s spoken-word vocal drifts through the mix, and sweeping strings give it a deep, timeless feel. The single is complemented by a remix from Dennis Ferrer, who flips the original into a beefy, pared-back House cut, warping Xenia’s vocals and locking into a rolling groove before resolving in lush chord work.
Active since the mid-90s, Kaden first appeared on Rekids in 2019 and has since built a wide-ranging catalogue across labels such as Cocoon and Vakant, alongside remix work for DJ Koze, KiNK, Monika Kruse, and Trentemøller. ‘Fyutr’ marks his fifth release on the label, following last year’s ‘Freedom’ remix EP, which received support from Ben Sims, Anja Schneider, Kölsch, Honey Dijon, and more.
