Adana Twins return to Watergate Records with a magnificent four-tracker that begs for a summer dancefloor (but the tracks are that good, they’ll be played for a while to come).

Since their label debut in 2017 with ‘Flower of Cane’, Adana Twins have become firm favourites of the Oberbaumbrücke crew. From handling mix duties on ‘Watergate 25’ to holding down regular gigs at the club prior to 2020, the Hamburg duo always deliver. 

‘The Curve’ is their first release on WG since 2019’s cracking remixes of Josh Wink’s ‘Higher State of Consciousness’. The title track is a big bouncy electro cut packed with plenty of groove. A super fun production sure to bring a smile to your face. ‘Cyrus’ belongs in a motion picture and is epic in composition. It traverses cyborg breaks before moving into a retro key-laden riff, all the while driven by a powerful ‘Silence / Violence’ vocal. This was made for a big festival moment. ‘Alone’ is the emotional final. At first propelled by an ‘80s synth and airy pads before a shimmering lead takes control and pushes the track into celestial terrain. The digital version finds ‘Nimbus’ as a bonus track of the release.

Cheeky little electro-flavoured bootleg from 2005 using the KU remix of Chable &amp; Bonicci's "Ride" to take Laurent Garnier's classic "Crispy Bacon" for a fresh outing. Panting courtesy of Kraftwerk "Tour de France".

The ancient haruspex used to read chicken liver in a bid to predict the future and foresee natural disasters. Taking influence from this technic, Fango embarked on a long insular trip, reflecting down till the depths of his own soul. The outcome of this arcane ritual is "Viscera", a series of 3 EP's focused on the pure essence of Fango’s artistic delirium.
 
Here is the first of the series, Viscera 1/3

Cabin Fever

For their fifth release ‘Cabin Fever,’ Spaceandtime have teamed up with Berlin-based Canadian techno icon Mathew Jonson. Just like many of Capsule’s raves, this collaboration developed spontaneously. One evening, after performing at Thuishaven, the three producers went to Spaceandtime’s basement studio on the Amsterdam canals, where they kept jamming into the next morning.     The result of their endeavors is an outstanding fusion of their respective sounds. Mathew’s signature keyboard virtuosity, combined with Spaceandtime’s melancholy chord progressions and backed by a whipping rhythm section, make for one beast of a melodic techno anthem – best played at dawn, over a dewy meadow sound system.  :: Remixes :: On remix duties are some of Holland’s finest. De Sluwe Vos & Sjamsoedin had their own impromptu studio session earlier this year, culminating in the widely acclaimed club anthem ‘Never Know.’ Their first ever remix together is another monster. Adding new layers of captivating harmonies, and spicing things up with scorching electro beats, they have transformed the original into an entirely different type of banger.   Darko Esser – mastermind behind the Tripeo monniker, and member of live outfit The Leap – has a completely different take on his remix. Using short elements of the original line, he has recontextualized the entire track, delivering a trance-inducing tribal house jam, guaranteed to mesmerize any given dance floor. After his splendid DJ set at Capsule’s midsummer rave last year, it makes perfect sense to have him on board as a producer.

Mathew Jonson is a phenomenon in electronic music. For nearly 40 years he has forged a sound instantly recognisable on the dance floor – often copied but impossible to imitate. Raw, analogue, and alive, he is a master of real-time performance who shapes drum machines and synthesisers into unforgettable journeys, making every show a one-off experience. From underground clubs to sold-out concert halls and collaborations with orchestras, Jonson’s name guarantees a performance of rare intensity and musicality.

His career took off in the early 2000s with influential releases on Perlon, Kompakt, M_nus, Cocoon, and ITISWHATITIS Recordings, a label where he released his very first record in 2001 and which he later acquired. Anthems like "Marionette" and "Decompression" established him as a producer of rare vision, while his live sets quickly became must-see events, consistently ranked among Resident Advisor’s top acts. During this period he was voted Best International Producer twice in Germany’s Groove Magazine, a testament to his impact on the European techno landscape, and went on to appear on the covers of DJ Mag, Groove, Synmag, and other leading publications. Unlike many, Jonson avoids the use of samples for melodic content, instead writing, performing, mixing and producing everything himself – even contributing his own voice and percussion – giving his music a depth and identity that is entirely his own.

Jonson’s discography spans era-defining singles and albums across labels like Crosstown Rebels and Fabric, where his "Fabric 84" mix captured the spirit of his live sets with unreleased edits and classics performed in real time. His two solo studio albums, "Agents Of Time" (2010, Wagon Repair) and "Her Blurry Pictures" (2013, Crosstown Rebels), expanded his scope even further – balancing intricate dance floor energy with explorations of deeper, more introspective sounds. He is currently working on his third studio album, a collaborative project featuring many artists living in Lisbon, where he now resides. His remix work is equally renowned, covering a wide spectrum of electronic music’s most influential figures. He has reimagined The Chemical Brothers ("Believe", "The Boxer"), Moby ("Slipping Away"), Cybotron ("Clear"), Kevin Saunderson ("Good Life"), Plastikman ("Plastique"), VCMG – Vince Clarke & Martin Gore ("Single Blip"), Goldie ("Redemption"), Josh Wink ("Higher State of Consciousness"), The Martinez Brothers ("No Pop"), Rone ("Nouveau Monde"), Joseph Capriati ("Love Changed Me"), Stephan Bodzin ("Tron"), and Alan Fitzpatrick ("Something Wonderful"), as well as crossover work with Nelly Furtado. These remixes underline his rare ability to bridge underground innovation with mainstream resonance.

He has also expanded beyond the club and festival circuit, collaborating with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra and performing a sold-out show at the Berlin Philharmonie with Cobblestone Jazz. With that group, Jonson recorded two albums for the iconic !K7 label, further cementing their reputation as one of electronic music’s most respected live acts. Another landmark moment came with "Cinemix": a world premiere performance of a newly composed soundtrack for the silent film "Faust", created live by Jonson alongside Tyger Dhula, Danuel Tate, and Hrdvsion.

Beyond performance, Jonson has continued to innovate. In 2019 he launched Freedom Engine and its debut album "A Box Full Of Magic", followed by the creation of the Freedom Engine Academy – an educational platform built with handpicked mentors to pass on knowledge and foster collaboration. Now preparing to launch its 5th annual edition in 2026, the Academy has become a vital space for nurturing the next generation of electronic musicians.

Now, 25 years since his debut "New Identity" and nearly 40 years since first making electronic music, Jonson is preparing to celebrate a milestone anniversary in his career. Represented in Europe by LittleBig, his current projects include Freedom Engine, his collaboration with Âme, and his ongoing solo work as Mathew Jonson. A pioneer, a mentor, and an artist in constant motion, Mathew Jonson continues to shape the future of electronic music with every performance and release.
