Even in these hard times where all the music event organizers have to deal with hard restrictions to their activity, Watergate is ready to deliver the 27th episode of its mix series, which has been curated by Hyenah.
Without losing the aim to give to the fans a taste of the club’s atmosphere, both the tracklist and the song transictions have been curated by the artist with attention and dedication, effectively more than in a common studio recording. In this CD we can find a fine and appreciable blend of 18 tracks, a selection that roams in a environment lived by creatures kindred to styles like deep house, tribal, tech house. Once again Watergate Records and the chosen artist, Hyenah, made a great and recognizable work, which is notable to mention and deserves some attention. As usual, a special EP will be published to feature some exclusive tracks used in this compilation.

After many successful appearances on labels such as Kompakt, Lost & Found, Bar25 and many more, Clarian makes a great debut on Bedrock with ‘Elephant Dust’, a classy progressive house song accompanied by a remix made by the masters John Digweed and Nick Muir.
The original mix starts building its structure slowly but intensly, the main chord comes in gently, without breaking through the various sound combinations: all the instruments interact perfectly each others, expecially the synths. The remix made by Digweed and Muir retraces the elements of the main mix, reinforcing the various drum patterns and elevating the charm of the chords and melodies.

Pre order link: https://www.deejay.de/O%E2%80%99Mera_%26_Kucera_Shadowmen_GOB195_Vinyl__962184

Gobsmacked Records is set to release a brand new vinyl, it comes from the minds of the label manager Diarmaid O Meara and Oliver Kucera, both experienced dj and producers of the techno realm. The five tracks of ‘Shadowmen EP’ follow up the sound research done by the label, a style that aims to the dancefloor with a dark and harsh attitude. The tracks pressed in the A-side represent the futuristic vision of Gobsmacked: ‘Monolapse’ runs around a broken beat rhythm and ‘Monolypse’ goes totally industrial with a functional instrument setup. On the flip the productions are warmer, there the title track and ‘Bunker’ recall to the typical Gobsmacked and Mr. O Meara productions, while the gabber inspired ‘Ma Chines’ offers an alternative contamination put into this EP.

Anthony Georges Patrice debuts on the underground Dance Artifakts with ‘The Wise Man And The Plants’. His EP reveals a dancefloor oriented nature, which is inspired by intense tribal and deep house influences; we can notice this kind of instrumental setup in many old records from the period of 2005-2010: Cadenza, Vakant and Freak ‘N’ Chic were popular labels that proposed this sound.
Each Patrice’s song goes on smooth and fluently, in this way we can taste every aspect from the artist’s music vision.

Darenosa ‘Permission To Speak’

Artist: Darenosa
Title: Permission To Speak
Label: Polyptych
Cat: PLT149
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 9th 2020
Tracklist:
1. Permission To Speak
2. Feel It Slow
3. Listen

Poland take-over: Polyptych is a label focused on the contemporary “melodic” house and techno, which offers to the audience an organic mixture of these electronic music influences. In the forthcoming release Darenosa appears for the first time in the label’s catalogue with ‘Permission To Speak’, a three track release that sums sensational vocals into good instrumentals. The vocals are functional to the drums or synths and vice-versa: we can’t imagine a standard dub mix of these tracks, because listening to them wouldn’t be the same, the emotions and the sensations aroused during the playback are exclusive and uncommon.

A1. Original Mix

Pre order link: https://lastforeverrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wanna-dance-ft-javonntte

The brand new deep house ‘Wanna Dance’ EP is born from the transatlantic collaboration between Turbojazz, Sean McCabe and Javanntte, a set of three interesting producers that are getting recognized for their house and deep house alike sounds. Their music is host on the fresh Last Forever Records, a label established in 2019.
The original mix of ‘Wanna Dance’ shows a classic flavor, the semplicity and effectiveness of the instruments make a big role in the track, allowing space to the vocals and to the main chord. Following Moondance makes his version calling it ‘Hi-Tech Mix’, where the vibe gets mellow and dense: there the artist adds a sawtooth bassline and a ticker chord, unexpectedly a touch of sexiness is given with the introduction of some tribal percussions.
The EP is completed with an EVM128’s remix, his interpretation breaks through since the beginning with a syncopate drum rhythm, building over it the elements coming from the main theme. The result is a diverse production that adds some diversity to the entire release, showing another oldschool influence from deep house music.

Both the originals reveal a pacate, calm and wide-looking nature, it seems like these themes have been sharped with a smooth pencil, taking inspiration from surrounding spaces like forests and parks, places where harmony reigns.
As opposite the experienced producers dOP (duo) and Andreas Henneberg make their own interpretations extracting the wild sides of the originals, elevating their potential and the dancefloor attitude.
