Ukraine's minimal hypnotist Silat Beksi now prepares to make his signature mark on his label Modeight with the aptly titled "On My Own" Ep. This is his first solo contribution to the label, having initially christened its opening with the heady, breakbeat infused stylings of the "Inception" EP. The result of a collaborative effort alongside Heidelberg producer Durrrred. Modeight's discography already boasts a roster of producers who are pushing boundaries in the minimal field, with Romania's RQZ and Dragutesku, Germany's Durrrred and "Methylat" duo Virkut & Amin Ravelle's combined output constituting a powerful sonic statement for Modeight. Silat himself continues to delve deep into his extensive musical influences, showing no signs of slowing his creative output as the talent prepares to release more music on Welsh imprint Curtea Veche and Milan label Hashplant. This EP sees Silat in his element as he laces nuanced rhythms on top of funky bassline riffs and hazy electronic artefacts, cementing himself once again as a unique and characteristically engaging artist.

In a dynamic world where people and pixels are moving and changing at the speed of light, a strangely beautiful thing is happening to some beings. Some call it a brain delay, others “the wrong things at the wrong moment”, but the anxious people are simply calling it a gift. One of their favourite form of communication is art; for some music. The Anxious Delay Group is a species of artists who are sending out messages to others like them, to join a musical movement in their universal language.

Exhibit A1: “Sometimes” a track can be fully understood through the perspective of the creator or the listener; this one acts like the invitation introduction, built up through repetitive kicks and on top of them, a series of digital infused notes and an occasional alarm-kind-of-noise which informs you that the opening has begun.

Exhibit A2: A well-known character, “One Eyed Jack” surfaces up and invites the anxious gathering to dance. It is a very uplifting beat with a powerful bass and with a twist of irregular notes drifting through.

Exhibit B1: “Fast Feeling” opens a new dimensions, one where rules are only set by the sounds. With a more accentuated bassline, this shapeshifter is indeed a fast feeling, one where perscussion are quickly elevated to join the drums loop and the subtle blurry message that awaits to be decripted.

Exhibit B2: “Scene 357” might for some seem like a numerologic symbol, but it is indeed just a getaway that merges down all the tracks into it. A blend between strong kicks and subtly chords and percussions which mellow the soul. An androgyn track which translates into a perspective beyond the boundaries of the musical patterns.

Panea Records’s fifth release "Tuverah" comes. The Berlin-based Spanish crew reveals this solo EP from "Dirty Lemon", a crew member and Marla Records co-owner, that conveys a diverse range of styles; fresh house melodies, trippy breaks, and acid techno-trance basslines.

Sharing 100% quality music is an essential part in our project, that’s why we give more space to new talented artists: Pulse2.

If your new EP has already been getting dropped by top dogs like Upsammy, Batu, Call Super, Ben Ufo and Bruce, you know it's a winner. And that's exactly what Lurka's first release on his brand new Make Your On Meaning label is - four tracks of red hot and brilliantly weird minimal. 'Powers' is razor-sharp hi-hats cutting up a scintillatingly smooth and militant tech house groove. 'Re Speak' has jumbled percussion and more wonky rhythms while 'String' layers up toms, tin pot hits, clattering sound effects and an undulating liquid baseline into something super seductive. The closer 'Mystick Crystal' is the busiest of the lot with its densely layered sound fx and samples underpinned by minimal funk.

HOLD ON CATALINA is the new label of Federico Molinari (co-founder of Oslo Records) and DFUNKLUB. Aligned with the freestyle concept of the label, Federico Molinari kicks off HOC with a release called “Bassline Generation”, which goes from downtempo to house with some electronic and acid elements.

Pascal Terstappen a.k.a. Applescal has released his new artist album, ‘Diamond Skies’ on Atomnation. The nine-tracker is a collection of expertly-produced, instrumental melodic house with lush, ambient soundscapes and a nod to the analog sounds of the 90’s. The album has received heavy support from key names in underground electronic music community and is Applescal’s sixth studio album to date.

Terstappen has been running Atomnation full-time since his early twenties and has shaped it into one of The Netherlands’ leading independent labels and a home for an eclectic mix of electronic music including signed artists such as Gidge, Polynation, Tunnelvisions and Sam Goku. ‘Diamond Skies’ exemplifies the vibrant sound of Atomnation, a lush, colourful album which journeys through melody, ambience and emotion while offering an occasional surprise to the senses. The album was written and produced through 2019 and completed in the early days of March 2020 when dark skies were looming.

‘Diamond Skies’ represents a creative optimism and brings a sense of something to look forward to. Applescal has created a musical dreamworld for a listener to step into as an antidote to troubled times. ‘Diamond Skies’ is an album which feels uplifting and effortless, a confluence of melodic house, occasional breakbeat and ambient energy; the sound of a producer at the height of his powers.

It seems as if 15 years have quickly flown by since we first opened our doors at the base of the famous Oberbaumbrücke joining Berlin's Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain districts. With countless long nights into majestic mornings and open airs in our beloved city to showcases spanning the globe, Watergate has grown to include a booking agency and a record label pushing the sounds of our mainstay artists and some of the most revered acts in the scene.

Encompassing music from club residents like Matthias Meyer, Jimi Jules, Marco Resmann, La Fleur, Tiefschwarz, Floyd Lavine, Lee Jones, Adana Twins, Sebo K, Hyenah and Cinthie and new comers Gorje Hewek & Izhevski, Gumz and Ryan Davis to friends and cohorts who have close ties to the club such as Butch, Henrik Schwarz, Ellen Allien, Alex Niggemann, Catz n' Dogz, Steve Bug, Osunlade, Solomun, Rodriguez Jr., Oliver Koletzki, Anja Schneider, Mathias Kaden and Kollektiv Turmstrasse, WATERGATE XV comprises of a plethora of sounds you have come to anticipate from our home along the Spree. From deep and euphoric cuts to lush organics tracks to heavier, peak time compositions, this compilation finds a moment that encapsulates every aspect of the sounds of Watergate.
