Mathias Kaden (born 1981 in Karl-Marx-Stadt) is a German DJ and electronic music producer who has been active since the mid-1990s. He grew up in Gera and Ronneburg in Thuringia, where the local house and techno scene shaped his sound - and he has remained rooted there rather than relocating to Berlin. He releases on labels including Rekids, Freude am Tanzen and Vakant, and is known for groove-driven productions that move between deep house, tech house and minimal techno.
In 2026, Kaden released the album 'Three Decades', which spans thirty years of his career on stage.
The single 'Fyutr' (feat. Zoë Xenia) was released in 2026 on the Rekids label and received a remix version by Dennis Ferrera.
In August 2025, the remix package 'Freedom (Remixes)' was released on Rekids - Kaden's own uptempo rework and a dub mix by Radio Slave.
In September 2024, he released the EP 'Circulate' on Rekids; the single 'Freedom' was supported by Laurent Garnier, TSHA and Dam Swindle.
Beatportal published an interview with Kaden in September 2024 about his remix work and approach to creating timeless music.
