His sound has landed on respected labels including Ultra, Renaissance, and TAU, with support from heavyweights like Dixon, Âme, Mind Against, and Keinemusik. In 2023, Radeckt and his studio partners delivered the breakout summer track ‘Dope Dance’, which earned the title of Essential Tune by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
Now, he returns with a new two-track EP titled ‘Otun’, released via Bedouin’s Human By Default imprint. Featuring the festival-ready title track ‘Otun’ and the vocal-driven ‘Feel Fine’, the release has already caught the attention of key tastemakers across the scene.
In this conversation, Radeckt opens up about the origins of the EP, experimenting with his own vocals, launching his Rendition label, and what’s next on the horizon.
EG: Hi, Radeckt! Welcome to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How have you been? Where are you right now?
Radeckt: Hi EG. Thanks for having me. I’m at a very good place. A lot is happening all around, and my inspiration in the studio is top!
EG: First of all, congratulations on the release of your new ‘Otun’ EP. What are some of your feelings now that it’s out for everyone to enjoy? What has the initial reception been like so far? Do you remember the first time you played these cuts live?
Radeckt: Thank you very much. I’m extremely proud to have the EP released on Bedouin’s label and happy that it’s out there for everyone to play, listen or hate, haha. The reception has been very good. Especially ‘Otun’ has been received with a lot of support, as well as in the charts. I remember that the first people I sent it to had very high praise of it. The hypnotic melody in ‘Otun’ got mentioned as a winner.
EG: So, ‘Otun’ is quite a unique name. How did it come about? Is there a special meaning behind it?
Radeckt: ‘Otun’ is actually the name of the synth preset I used to make the melody in the track. Won’t mention which synth it was.
EG: And what can your fans expect to find on ‘Feel Fine’? Do you feel “exposed” having written the lyrics and performed the vocals yourself?
Radeckt: No, I wouldn’t say exposed, I’ve recorded my own vocals in different ways a lot of times. I find it fun to use my own voice. Only the ones who know me well recognise it’s me. The lyrics are simple but have some meaning to it, not anything personal though, just about regular love challenges.

EG: Can you share some tips with us for those looking to put their vocals into their own work for the first time?
Radeckt: Get used to your own voice. The biggest challenge is to hear yourself in that way suddenly. You start to compare with others, and that’s the worst thing you can do if you’re not comfortable with your voice yet. Do some extra processing with effects, the first time, or pitch it up or down, it masks your voice a bit. Over time, you get better at singing and listening to the sound of your own voice in the track. Don’t be afraid to take a chance. If you think it fits in the track and sounds good, then try to go with it. Not everyone is going to love it, no matter what. Get feedback from people who don’t know it’s you singing. That’s going to be the most honest and non-biased feedback.
EG: This is your sophomore release on Bedouin’s Human By Default. Why did you decide to go with Human By Default for this particular release? How did the relationship with Bedouin come about?
Radeckt: Instantly, when I had made ‘Otun,’ I thought it fit well with their label’s sound. So I sent it to the guys, and they signed it very quickly. Back then, I texted a DM on Instagram, asking if I could send a demo there or if they preferred by mail. Rami texted back, and the rest is history.
EG: By the way, this past year, you launched your own label, Rendition. What can we expect from Rendition in 2025? What was it that motivated you to start your own imprint?
Radeckt: My motivation is to have an output for my own music, firstly. To be able to release music, I think, is great and I want to share, but other labels may not see the signing potential in it. It’s also an expansion of Radeckt as an artist. A way to network and to support great artists by releasing their music on terms I think is worthy. Not that other labels treat artists poorly. We all just do things differently, and with Rendition, I can put my print on how things are done. In 2025, you can expect the first track from an artist who is not me. A remix of a recent track on Rendition, and I’m playing with the thought of collecting 4 tracks for a VA for the autumn sometime.
EG: With all your experience…what would you say is the biggest challenge for artists in the coming months or years?
Radeckt: I think it’s getting enough visibility and producing in your own path without getting too coloured by trends.

EG: Looking forward, what can we expect from Radeckt? Any particular shows during summer that you are looking forward to?
Radeckt: A lot of music, I have a lot of collab and solo tracks I’m finishing, and some I’m in the process of signing as well. In the near future, there will be a collab with Nandu on his label and a remix not long after that. Two tracks I’m really psyched about. I’m playing my first SAGA show with Bedouin on Ibiza on the 10th of August this year. Really looking forward to that one!
EG: Thank you so much for your time, Radeckt! We wish you all the best in the future. Take care!
Radeckt: Thank you for having me, guys. Hugs!
