RELEASE DATE: 11/22/2019
Josh Wink's "Higher State Of Consciousness" gets a respectful touch-up 25 years on courtesy of the Adana Twins. The German duo come strong with a pair of remixes, fit for two very different dancefloor scenarios. The first a smart, stripped-back breakbeat version that switches from a sparse percussive soundscape to the famous acid warbles, before introducing undulating retro trance synths to the composition for a head-melting finish. "Remix Two" is a driving, four-to-the-floor, rave-focused affair that builds up the 303s with exhilarating intensity, only letting up in the final moments of the track. The fresh interpretation follows on from Adana Twins' super re-work of Patrice Baumel's "Roar" that dropped on Watergate in November 2018 (WG 052EP) and reinforces the duo's golden touch on the remix front. Regular black vinyl.

Cologne's Tim Engelhardt delivers his debut EP for Watergate. We got our first taste of Tim Engelhardt's prodigious talent when "Under Armour" featured on WhoMadeWho's acclaimed Watergate 26 compilation (WG 026CD, 2019) earlier this year. The track was a masterstroke of tension-filled chords and crisp drums that put him squarely on the radar of the WG faithful. His first EP for the label, Rhy, captures the essence of Watergate's famous Waterfloor at dawn. The title track is drenched in sheaths of warm melodies, as velvety vocal undertones and sweeping strings welcome the morning light. "When The Sun Illuminated Her Eyes," is the more driving accompaniment, as textured synths and delicate keys shine a light on Engelhardt's accomplished skill as a pianist.

Romanian Native BOg makes welcomed return to Watergate Records, joining forces with LKF Project for Her Song EP. "Her Song" is driven by the somber, ambient vocals of the LKF Project, underpinned by its undulating bassline. It ebbs and flows, gradually culminating to deliver a satisfying dancefloor moment. The dynamic dub version of "Her Song" sees the track's energy intensified, propelled forward by its intricate layers and breakbeats. The EP concludes with "Discrete Class", both rolling and introspective, it perfectly fuses the groove of house with the asceticism of techno, a sound that BOg's signature style lends him to.

It's time again to add another sonic journey to the Watergate mix series catalog. For this endeavor the label have enlisted one of the scene's brightest shining stars and club mainstay; Jimi Jules. Not one to be confined to a single facet, Jules's prowess as a bonafide selector is equally comparable to his skills as a producer and both are on full display here as the mix is made up twenty-one tracks, thirteen of them being Jules's own, whether they be originals, remixes, or special edits made especially for this compilation. The mix begins with Jimi Jules exclusive "Gare De Lion" which sets the tone for a warm and lush ride before breaking into subtle but groove heavy tracks from Porn Sword Tobacco and Keope. Without notice the pace picks up with another couple exclusives from the man himself. His collaboration with Domenico Ferrari "Parkuhr" and his own "Abandoned Soul" bookend Jimi's remix of Frankey & Sandrino's "Way Of The Sun" where the mix gains a playful momentum before taking a bit more serious tone. Another two exclusives, Lil' Tony's remix of Life On Planets and Jules's own remix of Quarion introduce the classic "IZ-US" from Aphex Twin providing a gorgeous wash to set the stage for more energetic moments as heard on Jules's remix of Upercent's "Pulsacions". As the second half of the mix emerges, more exclusive material quickens the stride and an ethereal quality comes forefront. Azimute's "We Are The Sound" (Trippy Version) and Quarion's "The Greater Of Two Evils" are layered together creating a uniquely trippy tune which expertly lays the path for Jules & Jesaya's "+4BPM Update" of Âme's unforgettable "119 BPM". Digging back into his own catalog, Jimi pulls out his highly successful "Equinox" track and keeps the groove and vibe steamy with his exclusive remix of Egopusher's "Flake" and his own "Midnight Juggernaut" before diving into the deep "First Snow" from DJ Koze. Sliding into the closure of the mix, Jules plunges into the deep with his exclusive remix of Kalabrese's "Feeding Me", featuring Khan and Rippertons's stunning "Meteorythme", before finally ending with his absolutely stunning "Interstellar Interpretation" of his and Lee Jones original "Lines", featuring Fink.
