The iconic club by the Spree celebrates 20 years with a mammoth 20-track compilation of new and unreleased tracks exclusive to the compilation. From Sasha to Anja Schneider, Henrik Schwarz, and Adana Twins, right through to the ascendent names such as JAMIIE, Kristin Velvet, JOPLYN, and Biesmans, the compilation is an exhilarating snapshot of some of the artists who have shaped Watergate's sound; both via the label and through laying down unforgettable sets at the club over a two-decade period. The highlight heavy compilation charts a course throughout all the deep, dark, euphoric, tech and even pop-laden corners of house music. Henrik Schwarz navigates a classic course via the vibey "You Need Attitude", while JOPLYN brings soaring melodies and arresting vox with "Lima". Biesmans is in characteristic sleek form with the sparkling nostalgic-soaked business of "Basic Bro", before emerging stars Mia Mendi contribute a driving electro jam "Astromech". The iconic Anja Schneider is an essential addition. The Berlin icon brings her A-game with the big piano chords and gospel vocals of "Can't You See Me No More" before handing the baton to Extrawelt who comes strong with a delicious micro house serenade "Rover". Sasha weaves a trademark masterful beast with "Wolf Cider", a dark and twisted weapon that's packed with plenty of groove and low-end attitude. Kristin Velvet's "Wanted Competition" is a propulsive gem that reinforces her position as one of the most exciting breakout producers of the last two years. Adana Twins are always on-point and they don't disappoint with "Nacht" a deviant, distorted house tool the belongs in every DJ's back pocket. Matthias Meyer & Ryan Davis share another ace track with "Genki", a shimmering, drama-laden piece that morphs into a tougher psy-laden finish. New Watergate signing DJEFF crafts an uplifting string-laden ace with "Cloud 7", while Hyenah make an essential contribution with the funky key-driven houser "Going in Circles". Club resident JAMIIE shares the wicked "Echoes", which is pacey and hypnotizing with colorful arpeggios and a latticework of key patterns. The project rounds out on a stunning note with "Tone Trails", a lilting slice of electronica by Watergate stalwart Marco Resmann & Lee Jones, which is inflected with organic guitar and dreamy melodies. The release will be presented as a triple gatefold vinyl using a special ink-spot color effect and will feature a collection of the compilation's key tracks, while all tracks will be available digitally. "Corona" color vinyl; gatefold sleeve; 180g inner sleeves; contains admission voucher for Watergate Club for two people at a night of their choice; includes download code. Also features Ede & Max Joni, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Stephan Jolk, Gorje Hewek & Joseph Ashworth, Jos & Eli, and Kid Simius.
