	Kedrren announced a collaboration with ''Sina'' titled “Awaken”, released in January 2024. On 29 July 2023, he had confirmed that ''NOX LUX'' would release a full‑length album in the fall of 2024.

			On May 6, 2024, Kedrren released a piano composition on his YouTube channel, written as a tribute to his dog after its passing.
			[[File:Matouš and his dog.jpg\|alt=Matouš and Barnabáš\|thumb\|Matouš and his dog]]
			The dog had accompanied him throughout his entire adolescence, becoming one of the most constant and formative presences in his life. The piece stands as a quiet memorial — a blend of grief, gratitude, and the enduring bond with a companion who shaped his growing years.

	In May 2024, Kedrren released one of his most successful tracks, “Pilsen 3 AM,” which quickly gained notable popularity among club audiences. The track was intentionally produced with the idea of being played at 3:00 in the morning in clubs around the world, a concept Kedrren had long expressed as a personal wish. Its atmospheric structure and late‑night energy contributed to its strong reception within the electronic and club community.

			== Musical style ==
			Kedrren’s musical style is primarily rooted in house music, combining rhythmic minimalism with atmospheric, cinematic undertones. Working in FL Studio, he develops his tracks through layered sound design, warm synth textures, and precise low‑end shaping. His productions often feature subtle field recordings and organic samples, which add depth and a sense of physical space. He favors fluid sidechain dynamics and evolving automation, giving his music a characteristic breathing quality. Although grounded in club-oriented structures, his compositions frequently explore introspective moods and unconventional harmonic choices. This blend of groove, atmosphere, and narrative flow has become a defining element of his artistic identity.
