EdOne 'The Next Men' on HABITAT Records
EdOne has returned to HABITAT Records, picking up where he left off on the label last April with 'Madness Diary' on the 'METAFLORA III' collection. 'The Next Men' is the Spanish producer's second release of the year for the label, arriving with an even hand between harmonic content and the beat.
It's a record that puts the melody first, its chord progressions doing the heavy lifting while a straightforward, regular kick pattern keeps it anchored. The result sits high in the mix without ever feeling crowded, giving the track an airy quality that lets the piano-like stabs and synth washes breathe.
'The Next Men' is a fine example of EdOne's meticulous construction, a record that has as much to offer in headphones as it does in the club, and it continues HABITAT's strong start to 2026.

HABITAT Records, Bandcamp about text · sourceSurrrealism label boss EdOne returns to HABITAT with the ‘Show Me Love’ EP, following the release of his track ‘Madness Diary’ on the ‘METAFLORA III’ compilation in April 2025. Dropping on 26th February, ‘Show Me Love’ is a striking four-track EP that captures the full emotional range of his meticulously crafted sound. With multiple top ten Beatport chartings and releases on respected imprints such as Innervisions, Bedrock, Global Underground, and Renaissance, EdOne now brings his signature intensity, tension, and melodic precision into one of his most complete and expressive works to date, with the package featuring a collaboration from Rotterdam’s Beswerda.
Title track ‘Show Me Love’ opens the EP, delivering a backbeat-driven, clap-heavy groove, with soothing maracas, sundrenched synths, and warm pads creating an inviting, melodic house cut. ‘DTS’ serves as a moodier counterpart; its thudding bassline, rattling central synthline, and atmospheric low-end strings build a deep, cinematic tension. On the fl ip side, ‘The Next Men’ leans into EdOne’s progressive, hypnotic sound, featuring preaching vocals, minor-key progressions, and steadily building emotional weight. Closing with ‘Lahn’, EdOne and Dutch mainstay Beswerda descend into a raw aesthetic, blending industrial grit with dub-like textures for a brooding final statement.
