BERLIN dance label, Mother Recordings celebrates a decade of electronic music authority with a remix that echoes through the ages.
When Leon and Shaf Huse dropped Power To The People on the imprint in 2018, it wasn't just a track, it was a global call to dance. The hypnotic beats and classic sample of Wildchild's cult hit Renegade Master from the 90s helped create a terrace anthem that roared out of DC10 Ibiza and into the sets of legends like Carl Cox, The Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler.

Now, Tube & Berger, fellow Berlin groove architects Arndt Roerig and Marko Vidovic -heads of Kittball Records, have injected it with a fresh dose of cinematic tension.
Their remix doesn't walk onto the dancefloor, it haunts it.
With horror-funk synths towering like cathedral organs and voodoo-driven percussion, this is a tribute to the darker, more primal pulse of the underground.
We caught up with Tube & Berger this week and asked them to curate a playlist to mark the release of their remix.
Their selection includes the new remix and captures that same energy and is a celebration of the renegades, the ravers, and the revolutionary power of a perfectly placed drop.
Back once again, with the Renegade Master indeed!

Pembrokeshire's Freeburger gives away 1,200 vegan burgers
That's because everything he serves up on the stall won't cost his customers a penny. But there's an ethical twist – the 41-year-old carpenter's Freeburger pop-up will only cook vegan burgers, in his mission to spread the word about animal welfare. 'It's an awesome opportunity to get the message across,' said Leon, who has now distributed over 1,200 vegan burgers into his fourth year of Freeburger pop-ups. 'It's not about me, it's about the animals. Freeburger pops up in Leon's front yard in Kilgetty. (Image: Freeburger) 'My hope is that I'm planting seeds in people's minds, helping them to make changes. 'Freeburger isn't just about burgers - it's about showing that plant-based food can be normal, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. 'Once that door's open, people can start asking questions - about where their food really comes from, and what they're funding.' Leon set up and operates Freeburger entirely out of his own pocket, and when customers insist in making donations, he puts the money towards funding his next pop-up. 'I've got a roof over my head and I'm grateful. Rather than chasing more, I wanted to give to something I believe in,' he explained. The most Freeburger evening saw Leon serving more than 50 vegan burgers. (Image: Freeburger) The latest event was last Wednesday, July 30, outside his home in Station Road, Kilgetty and saw some 'incredible' reactions, Leon said, with 54 burgers served in three hours. 'With the paywall lifted, people give vegan a go. And they love it. It opens a door,' he explained. 'The idea is simple - to give people a fun, exciting vegan experience. A free burger, free drinks, a free-play arcade machine - and zero catch. No guilt. No pressure. Just really good vegan food. Freeburgers come with a helping of salad and vegan cheese. (Image: Freeburger) 'Because when it tastes great - and it's given freely - people are open. They try it. And we then invite people to go deeper via video footage on the website: Leon ate meat and dairy products in his early 20s, but is now vegan after his escalating concerns about the meat and dairy industries. Leon, a carpenter by trade, wants to give people 'a fun, exciting veganb experience'. (Image: Freeburger) 'I didn't just stop eating animals - I stepped into something that actually felt right,' he said. "it's not about me, it's about the animals," said Leon. (Image: Freeburger) Frustration at the lack of fast food vegan options led him to set up Freeburger, with support from the catering and planning skills of friends Chris and Luc. He added: 'I get that farmers are under huge pressure - pushed to produce more for less. And I get that most people are just trying to eat affordably. 'That's why Freeburger exists - to expose the truth behind the industry and help rebalance things. 'it's encouraging people to cut back on factory-farmed meat - and when they do choose meat, eat less, and go for truly high welfare options. 'Then ditch the dairy, and move toward a plant-based diet.' Freeburger: "No guilt. No pressure. Just really good vegan food." (Image: Freeburger)

Inside the sex-crazed world of Russian oligarchs with brutalised OnlyFans model, infamous sex coach & Kremlin mistresses
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FROM a notorious "seduction" coach to near-naked sex parties, the assault of an OnlyFans model has laid bare the sex-crazed underworld of Russia's elite. Humiliated Vladimir Putin has imposed various crackdowns on the "debauched" Russian elite in recent years - but his own aides are said to be flying out mistresses and partaking in sordid sex parties. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 13 Russian self-proclaimed sex guru Alex Lesley and his women Credit: East2West 13 OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk was allegedly chased and tortured by rich Russians at a party in Dubai 13 Russia had a 'Naked Partygate' scandal in 2023 Credit: East2West Kremlin insiders say Russia's sex-crazed elite and their sleazy antics have always been there - with the war with Ukraine bringing some of it to light. A source told The Sun: "Putin hates when the elite ostentatiously display their wealth, decadence or disgusting perversions for everyone to see, especially when we are fighting in Ukraine. 'But the partying goes on. Behind the walls, out of sight, the wild excesses go on.' The dictator himself has been embroiled in sex scandals - allegedly sharing two children with his "First Mistress" Alina Kabaeva. Another source said Putin's secret £1billion palace on the Black Sea was built with a striptease stage and pole dancing boudoir, which may - or may not - have been removed. The Kremlin insider added: "Many of Putin's circle - men in their 60s and 70s, like him - have young lovers, sometimes several. "It's not like the West here. Their private lives are hidden from the world and the lurid details never - or seldom - appear." But the private life of some Russian oligarchs is much darker than merely having a mistress - with reports emerging of extreme, sordid sex events that had previously only been known to occur in Dubai. Infamous "Porta Potty" parties involve rich men paying large sums to play out their fantasies in real life - including vile sex acts such as defecation. A Russian woman who has taken part in such events in Dubai revealed they were also rife in Moscow. While she was in Dubai, she said the sick acts involved "old grandpas". The woman added: "They paid decently for it." And she revealed how "people ask for such things in Moscow too". Women create online profiles and declare that they agree to certain extremities - attracting deep-pocketed clients. The Russian woman added: "There is demand - clients like this kind of thing... here you can do whatever you want. "Why do they like it? I don't know. Well, they are like that and that's it." It comes after Ukrainian OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk, 20, was allegedly chased and tortured by rich Russians at a party in Dubai. After missing her flight to Thailand, Maria said she was offered a place to stay by a 19-year-old man she had recently met at a karaoke bar. 13 OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk, pictured in Norway with her mother Anna Credit: East2West 13 She went missing before being found with a broken spine at a construction site Credit: East2West 13 Maria had to have her scalp sewn back on with horrific medical images showing a huge scar on the top of her head Credit: East2West He claimed his father could fly her out on a private jet. But then the man and his friends tortured her instead, the model claimed. The traumatised model described how the group began smashing bottles and glass on the floor, making her unable to walk barefoot, and said they took her passport and belongings. She claims the men 'hinted' they wanted sex - and when she refused, the situation escalated - with their aggression "heating them up". Maria said she attempted to escape and hid at a nearby construction site - but was tracked down, beaten, and thrown from a ledge. She was missing for over a week before being found unconscious with horrific injuries, including a shattered spine and broken limbs. It was initially thought Maria had been assaulted after a 'Porta Potty' party. These are disturbing events which are known to involve high-paying UAE clients who degrade women, often influencers, for large sums. But Maria denied any involvement of Emirati citizens in her brutal ordeal. Instead, an insider close to Maria said: "It was the Russians who tortured Maria. She was found with a broken spine, arms and legs - and unable to speak." 'Seduction' coach But it's not just abroad where Russia's elite have been suspected of sex crimes. In Russia, a YouTube "seduction" coach with links to one of Putin's close oligarchs is facing investigation after he urged viewers to grab women in the street by their buttocks and offer them sex. Alexander Kirillov, also known as Alex Lesley, is being investigated on suspicion of inducement to rape. The so-called "advice" he gave openly on his channel led to a number of complaints from women claiming they have been horrifically harassed by his followers. Some claimed the vile encounters were filmed by accomplices as the men groped them and asked for sex. 13 Alexander Kirillov, a self-styled sex guru, is being investigated Credit: East2West 13 Kirillov previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal Credit: East2West 13 Kirillov was detained in 2018 alongside Anastasia Vashukevich in Thailand after they hosted illegal 'sex training' classes 13 Vashukevich claimed Russian oligarch and Putin pal Oleg Deripaska (L) was once part of a conspiracy to help Trump win the 2016 election Credit: Getty His account has nearly 100,000 subscribers. Kirillov previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal involving Belarusian escort Anastasia Vashukevich, 35, and Russian energy tycoon Oleg Deripaska. It came to light after Vashukevich claimed to have evidence that Deripaska and Russia's deputy prime minister were part of a Kremlin conspiracy to skew the 2016 presidential election in favour of Donald Trump. Both Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko denied wrongdoing. Following her claims, Vashukevich, known online as Nastya Rybka, was arrested. At the time of her detention she was in Thailand, where she had been running a bizarre four-day 'sex training' class alongside none other than Kirillov. They spent nine months in custody - before a Thai court handed them a suspended 18-month sentence for soliciting and running an illegal "sex training course". Vashukevich and Kirillov were then deported to Moscow in January 2019 and arrested - but later released. The controversy with Kirillov came to light in June when at least 10 young women went public saying they had being groped by his vile fans in Moscow. Russian MPs then complained to authorities before the Investigative Committee opened a case against him. They said he had 'induced his followers to commit illegal acts of a sexual character towards female residents of the capital'. Twisted Kirillov told local media: "If we lived in America or Germany, God forbid, then it could result in serious consequences. Thankfully, we are in Russia." Kremlin 'mistresses' Closer to the Kremlin, one of mad Vlad's officials was reportedly flying his 23-year-old mistress around on $100million military jets. Maria Shalaeva claimed she was jetted on a defence ministry Ilyushin-76 aircraft for a getaway to Rostov-on-Don - the same location of Russian armed forces war headquarters. Local media reported Putin's defence minister Andrei Belousov, 66, as the suspected lover. 13 Maria Shalaeva boasted about taking an armed forces plane to the closed airport in Rostov-on-Don for a weekend getaway Credit: East2West 13 Shalaeva posing in the back of an army plane 13 Shalaeva says her lover is a 'Kremlin man' Credit: East2West His photograph appeared on a video she posted. It is also clear from one video that her lover has grey hair - as does Belousov - who was a Kremlin apparatchik before becoming defence minister. There are also indications that her man - apparently seen in shorts on the plane - could be younger than Belousov. Whether the affair is Belousov or another senior official figure in the Russian power structure, the disclosure reportedly triggered fury over what is seen as a security breach. Military sources indicated that the Kremlin 'sugar daddy' had been visited at work by the secret services after the mistress's revelations. Shalaeva, from Yekaterinburg, said her lover is 'a Kremlin man, though, that's another story. Reliability level is 200%.' She admits to bringing her three-year-old son Tim on the trip - sparking speculation that it could be her lover's child. 'At three years old, he's already flown in a military aircraft,' she posted. Belousov, an economist and civilian technocrat, is not a career soldier and holds no formal military rank - but his authority rivals that of Russia's top generals. In Rostov, Shalaeva, her son, and her mystery man were reportedly picked up by a "very expensive foreign car". It was local media in Rostov that first flagged the scandal, without naming names. Russian outlets have so far avoided identifying the man.
