Charles D and KAF3R have joined forces for their first collaboration, ‘Freak Your Mind,’ out now on Truesoul, the label run by Adam Beyer that’s built its reputation on peak-time techno and tech-house cuts. The two producers, who’d been trading messages online for a while, finally found the track that got them into the studio together.
The collaboration started, fittingly enough, on Instagram. Charles D had been following KAF3R’s work for some time, including his track ‘Lost in Space,’ when KAF3R sent over a sketch that stood out from the usual scroll. “I’d been a fan of KAF3R’s music for a while, especially his track ‘Lost in Space.’ You hear so much music scrolling through Instagram, but this was one of those ideas that actually made me stop what I was doing,” Charles D says.
From there, KAF3R sent over the stems and Charles D got to work reshaping the idea into a finished record. According to both artists, the whole thing came together in about a week. “The whole creative process flowed naturally, and after a few versions, we ended up with a final track that’s full of energy and power. I’m really excited for everyone to hear it,” KAF3R adds.
‘Freak Your Mind’ leans into that late-night, peak-hour territory — proggy in its layering, trancey in its melodic pull, and dirty enough in the low end to keep it grounded on a club floor. It’s built for the point in the night when the crowd’s already deep in it and the DJ needs something that chugs forward without losing the plot, the kind of record made for those slightly sideways 4am moments.
The release adds to what’s been a steady run for Truesoul in 2026, with the label continuing to platform both established names and newer pairings within Beyer’s wider Drumcode network. For Charles D and KAF3R, it marks a first official link-up after what sounds like months of casual back-and-forth finally paying off in the studio.
‘Freak Your Mind’ is available now on Truesoul across all major streaming platforms.
