Espada Recordings continues to carve its name into the underground with Rewind EP, a bold new release from founders Whoizz and Denace 2 Society. Landing on October 24, 2025, the EP dives headfirst into the raw pulse of UK garage and tech house, merging the genre’s classic energy with cutting-edge production. With two original cuts and remixes from Tsodor, Dejago, and Whoizz himself, Rewind EP captures the spirit of old-school rave culture while pushing forward into uncharted club territory.
The duo behind Espada Recordings have quickly become synonymous with authentic, underground club energy. Denace 2 Society brings over twenty years of experience to the table, having played across Europe and released on respected imprints such as Kittball and Klaphouse. His ear for groove and precision has shaped the label’s distinctive sound.
Whoizz, on the other hand, represents the next generation of house innovators. His breakout track Base Street earned major support from Marco Carola, while follow-ups like Duk Duk and MySpace dominated Ibiza dancefloors this summer, particularly in sets by James Hype. Together, they’ve crafted a sound that blends grit with finesse — forward-thinking yet rooted in underground authenticity.
The title track, Rewind, is a masterclass in dark groove and playful tension. Driven by bouncy drums and a filthy, curling bassline, the track balances mischievous stabs and ragga-infused vocal chops with a menacing undercurrent. It’s a tune designed for smoky rooms and late-night floors — the kind of record that catches dancers off-guard, then refuses to let go.
The second original, Freeze, leans even deeper into garage nostalgia. Ghostly vocals echo over a growling bassline and tumbling chords, recalling UKG’s golden era while twisting it through a modern, tech-influenced filter. Sirens, spin-backs, and decaying atmospherics add to the raw energy — this is warehouse music, updated for 2025.
The Rewind EP doesn’t stop at the originals. Three remixes take the project into new sonic realms:
Tsodor, a German-born, Ibiza-based producer and Abbey Road Institute graduate, injects his remix with swaggering tech house energy. Known for releases on Cocoon Recordings and Moodmusic, he layers cavernous basslines with euphoric pianos, creating an irresistible contrast between darkness and uplift.
Dejago, Stuttgart’s piano wizard, contributes an ethereal, melodic version that pushes Rewind toward the cosmic. His lush synth work and cascading harmonies give the track a sunrise-after-party glow — emotional yet danceable.
Whoizz closes the EP with his own Drum & Breakz Remix, transforming Rewind into a ferocious slice of drum & bass. Breakbeats crash against frantic pianos and seismic sub-bass, channeling the raw chaos of ‘90s raves while keeping Espada’s sleek production edge intact.
With Rewind EP, Espada Recordings solidifies its reputation as one of the most exciting new labels in the UKG and tech house space. In just three releases, the imprint has established a clear aesthetic — tight production, genre cross-pollination, and a commitment to the underground. Co-founded by Whoizz and Denace 2 Society, the label reflects their shared philosophy: music built for dancefloors, but crafted with precision and respect for the culture that inspired it.
This release also represents the label’s growing international reach. Featuring remixers from Germany and Ibiza, Rewind EP bridges multiple scenes — from European tech house to the UK’s garage roots — showing how deeply interconnected today’s underground music culture has become.
The resurgence of UK garage and its hybrids — speed garage, tech-garage, and breakstep — has shaped the club sound of the mid-2020s. Rewind EP lands right in the heart of this movement. By combining nostalgic references with forward-thinking production, Whoizz and Denace 2 Society honor the past while defining the future.
Their approach mirrors a wider trend: producers returning to the raw, physical energy of the early rave era but infusing it with the polish and sound design of modern club music. In this sense, Rewind EP doesn’t just pay homage — it reinvents, inviting listeners to reconnect with dance music’s roots while hurtling into its next chapter.
