Odee X returns to REK’D with the ‘Agent X’ EP. It follows his ‘X-Ray’ EP, which kickstarted the Rekids sublabel’s 2025 in January.
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-infl ected 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 dancefl oor-ready EPs from artists such as St. David, DCLVIII OFC, James Juke, James Curd, and more.
What can I say? I love a good break beat to syncopate over a 4/4, and that lung collapsing bass! The way Overmono puts it all together here few have done as well. sergentor
