Our next release comes once again from our good friend Marius Drescher. After his hit „We Had It All“ in 2020, Marius strikes back with his new EP "Hunter". The title track „Hunter“ is a powerful, melodic dancefloor bomb for those ecstatic peaktime hours. Following with „Memory Lane“, Marius shows us his talent to combine nostalgic soundscapes and driving grooves. The third and final track of the release is called „Shadows“ and closes the EP with a vibe of darkness and flickering lights.

Ruede Hagelstein and Watergate go hand in hand. Not only is Ruede one of the longest running residents at the club, but he's also the man behind some of the label's most acclaimed music and the curator responsible for lucky number 13 in the illustrious Watergate mix series. With this, it seemed obvious to put Ruede up to his next task: an album. It is with great anticipation and excitement that we bring you the first LP for both, Ruede and Watergate Records, Apophenia. 

Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data, and for Ruede, this is the perfect interpretation to describe his writing process, in which ideas appear from the empty, chaotic darkness. A random chord progression or percussion arrangement opens the door to the imagination where structures appear and begin to take shape. Unlike most of his previous work, Apophenia is not strictly attached to the dance floor, but created to fit just as seamless while listening at home as it is in the club. For over a year, Ruede collected ideas and visualized his plan. It was important not to mimic his earlier work, but to focus on a certain sound. While staying minimalistic yet extremely organic and melodic he has created a timeless long player.

While the LP spans a range of emotions, it is always grounded in Ruede's unparalleled, singular sound. Pair that with some notable features from artists like PillowTalk, Hollis P. Monroe & Overnite, Justin Evans and C.A.R. and you have a plethora of dazzling music. With tracks like "Moon Rabbit", "Life Is A Beach" and "Found A Place" Ruede displays the sound of a night at the club while "Already Undone feat. Pillowtalk" and "Pareidolia" take rides through the deeper, emotional spaces. In the end, "Apophenia" is the perfect display of not just Ruede's artistry, but Watergate's musical vision, which together, create an illustrious and undeniable entity.

Florida 135 Resident, Mixmag one-to-watch this month and all-round man of the moment Andres Campo continues to smash his name all over 2017… This time with his debut release on Nicole Moudaber’s mighty MOOD – ‘Blind Call’. 

The only cold caller you’d ever really want to receive, Campo dials deep into our personals with a tightly poised groove. Weighted with his resounding rounded warm kicks and sparkling percussion, we’re soon swept away into another world as the sombre vocal textures and smouldering keys ripple, reflect and gradually envelop us in a way that complements all techno and house styles. Restrained, subtle and timeless – it’s one of Andres’ moodiest compositions to date.

Remix-wise MOOD welcome the legendary Pig & Dan on board for an equally exceptional version. Retaining the restraint but refocusing the momentum through an acid arpeggio, added layers of texture and a rolling techno dynamic, Pig & Dan’s signature controlled heaviness and latent funk is coded deep into every element.

One deeply atmospheric original, one killer remix - two remarkable moments for your sets this season. MOOD are kicking off the summer in style right here. Call us!

‘Wahah’, meaning ‘desert spring’ in Arabic, packs in a serious amount of good feeling and warm vibes. A
brooding and sophisticated production, Doctor Dru teases infectious music refrains from warm
synthesizers to great effect on this headsy dance track.

Tächno was founded in 2014 and is based in Hamburg. We can look back on a big release catalogue with a lot of chart positions and we had countless wild labelpartys where liters of sweat, tons of endorphins and even tears of happyness where flowing.
