Kevin Saunderson released a new e-Dancer album on May 21, 2025, the first under that alias in more than two decades. His son Dantiez produced it with him.

The e-Dancer project has always been the harder, more club-focused side of Saunderson's work, separate from the Inner City catalog and from his regular solo releases. The last full-length under the name came out in 1998. Bringing it back in 2025 with Dantiez credited as co-producer is the clearest statement yet that the Saunderson operation is now a family business in the full sense of the phrase.

BBC 6Music premiered the lead single. Most of the UK and European dance press covered the release within the first week. The album's release also happened to land four days before Movement weekend 2025, where the Saunderson Brothers played a KMS showcase on Friday night and Kevin went back to back with Dantiez on Saturday. The timing was not an accident.

The bigger story is what the album is setting up. Paxahau booked E-Dancer live for Movement 2026 as an anniversary centerpiece. That is a father-and-son live performance on a main stage at the festival Kevin helped create. The record is the prologue.

The self-titled e-Dancer LP is out on KMS.
