Samu.l Invitations - (Martin Buttrich Silk Mix) - Preview

Echoes of Silence (Original Mix)” is a deep and hypnotic journey through sound and emotion.
Inspired by the timeless atmosphere of Solomun’s Friends, this track slowly unfolds like the first light of dawn over a silent ocean.
Driven by a warm, rounded kick and a rolling sub-bass, it builds layer by layer — plucked analog motifs, distant reverb tails, and the glow of northern lights shimmering across the night sky.

A meditative, emotional deep-house piece created for those who seek depth, beauty, and timeless groove.

Written and produced by Alexander Kruk (AK).
🎧 120 BPM | Key C Minor | Deep House

‘’Andrea Ljekaj returns to New Violence armed with three new weapons. The Croatian producer has landed his work on such esteemed labels as Get Physical and Save Us, and being a firm label favourite here, is welcomed back with open arms. The title track 'Hills Have Ears' is a groovy techie affair, with shuffling beats, nasty bass hits and dubby overtones. The track develops as warm and infectious pads glide effortlessly across the groove, generating a blanket of happiness to wrap around you, as amile will certainly ensue. An uber cool track thats very versatile, and of course damn hot. 'Never Too Early' is next up, and if its a bit of a swagger you desire, then check this little number out. Its all about the vibe here, as you sway along to its hypnotic overtones, laced with dirty touches, and brought to light by cool vocal samples. Simple and effective. Rounding things off nicely we have 'Road Of Desires'. Melancholic tech house is order of the day here, as the melodies have warmth yet a tone of darkness flowing through. The big distorted pads enhance the emotional content further, as a bit of a dance floor moment lands, before we slam back in to action.’’

01. Andrea Ljekaj - Hills Have Ears
02. Andrea Ljekaj - Never Too Early
03. Andrea Ljekaj - Road Of Desires

Infotext:

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. To celebrate our journey over the last decade and a half we have put together a special anniversary release of 25 new, exclusive and formerly unreleased tracks to be released as a 2x CD set with our traditional Watergate artwork as well as a special collector's edition box set as a 5x vinyl, 2x CD package including a commemorative art print, two free entries to the club itself and the very special photo book ‘Sound Travels’ by Linus Dessecker which features photos and interviews of artists that played at Watergate when they arrived or left Berlin, all wrapped up in a sleek minimalistic package entitled “WATERGATE XV”.

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. 

We think this body of music perfectly captures our essence, whether it’s under our famous LED’s, on the waterfloor watching the sun rise or at any of our showcases and open airs the world over. We hope it can spark a memory in your mind to a moment we shared over the last 15 years.

Vaggelhs Dean - Feel For You (Original Mix) Snippet

We are delighted to welcome back Mihai Popoviciu on our label after his successful remix on the track ’Nightcrawler’.  
His unique style and the quality of his productions made him a member of the deep house hall of fame and his tracks are always on the top of the charts.

We are sure the 2 originals and 3 remixes of the EP will lighten up all the deep house lovers’ heart. There is no question that this is the strongest EP ever on our imprint! 1000% quality music!  The title track ‘Flux’ is an epic bit of deep house that is one of the best tunes in the genre now in our honest opinion, perfect melodies on a smooth levitating foundation.  The 2nd original ’Lotus’ is the other side of the coin with its great dubby groove and catchy melodies.

On remix duties we asked the Pornbugs duo to rethink the title track Flux. The head honchos of the amazingly successful deep house label ‘Bondage Music ‘ created a remix which focuses on mesmerizing melodies and sweet percussions.

On Flux we got another amazing reinterpretation from an upcoming deep & tech house artist James Cole (All I Want, Gruuv) he put the groove to the center of his version, so the result became a real dancefloor groover.

On Lotus the TSM label bosses Peter and Greg took the opportunity to make yet another great tune in which they mixed their easily recognisable grooves with the original track’s nice melodies.

We have no doubt that all the DJs who love the Deep House genre will find a suitable track for their sets in this release.  Take a listen to the EP and make your own choice.

Bondage Music welcome back Markus Homm to mark label’s 50th vinyl release, accompanied by a remix from Pornbugs.
Founded in 2008, German imprint Bondage Music has grown over the past decade to become a central hub for quality productions across the house sphere, releasing recent material from the likes of NTFO, Mihai Popoviciu, James Dexter and Philipp Gonzales to name just a few. Having released four solo EP’s on the label so far in 2019 alone, here we see a special release in the label’s history as they mark the 50th vinyl release on the imprint in style, welcoming back Markus Homm to deliver a special two colour 12” release set to drop in late June.
Opening the package, lead cut ‘Voyage’ sees Homm combine slick, rolling drums amongst a snaking bassline and echoed vocal hooks, whilst rich, deep synths meet refined percussion arrangements and blissful melodies throughout ‘Lost’. ‘The Toll’ wanders forth next, with the first of two vinyl only cuts welcoming dubby chords, metallic drums and hazy atmospherics, before digging even deeper with the stripped back and hypnotic ‘Weissewand’
Lastly, label bosses Pornbugs turn in an exclusive interpretation of ‘Lost’ for those grabbing the digital package, opting for sun-soaked lead melodies and infectious vocal snippets to close out the 50th 12” EP on the label in style.

Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallised. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he’s entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields, at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and at worldwide Desolat Experience parties with Loco Dice.

Buttrich’s journey into electronic music began in clubs in Berlin and Hannover at the dawn of the ‘90s, when post-Summer of Love-Europe began to swing to its own hypnotic, machine-like groove. At 18 years old he began experimenting with production as X-Rotation (with Daniel Bross), which led to the projects Rhythm Assault, Sounds of Life and Phunk Diggazs (with engineer Andy Bolleshon).

Buttrich began a notorious collaboration with his then co-worker at Peppermint Jam distribution, Timo Maas, in the mid-‘90s (they worked the telephones together). After setting up his first studio in the basement of the Peppermint Park studio building, the partnership led to over 100 co-productions and remixes that included Madonna, Muse, Fatboy Slim. Josh Wink and Green Velvet. Buttrich has produced funk legend Bootsy Collins, while switching the patterns for artists including Tom Jones, Kelis, Moloko, Depeche Mode, Placebo, Yello, War and Roger Sanchez. His Azzido Da Bass “Dooms Night” remix with Timo Maas hit the UK top ten charts.
 
All the while he created an impressive library of beats and collected an arsenal of music production equipment for his studio in Timetools, a studio complex founded in 1997 in Hannover with a group of musicians. Buttrich is happy with the subtle crunch of an SP-12 sampler and the ‘smoky’ vibe of his analog mixing desk – adding a bass guitar or other instrument when necessary. But he’s not above having fun with a laptop either: approaching music programs as if they were video games. He doesn’t rely on any one machine or music composition technique, and his array of outboard gear is mouth-wateringly state of the art.
But he never loses touch with the gritty, human side of music, and the environments that it is played in.

Another key musical partnership, with Loco Dice, begun in 2002, undoubtedly inspired Buttrich to delve deeper into the musical histories that first lured him towards after-dark melodies. In a short space of time they’d built up a deep discography creating an era-defining sound in the process. They spent more than half a year living in New York in 2006/2007, with half of Buttrich’s studio set up in a rickety hideaway in Brooklyn that looked out over Manhattan’s vistas. Between late night production sessions and snowstorms, their Desolat label came to life.

Having his debut solo album Crash Test released on Desolat in early 2010, Martin Buttrich is taking his vision to the road, fusing wild imagination with solid musical architecture, cherry-picked inspiration with true perfection of his musical craft. 

Since then constantly on tour, in 2011 Martin Buttrich still has dropped a remarkable collection of music - productions like “Fire Files” EP on Desolat or remixes for Marco Carola and Lee Curtis amongst others.

Currently based in LA, Martin Buttrich is working on his second artist album and a jazz project called The Stoned Autopilot.

Stay tuned.
