Watergate Records reopens the gates with ‘Watergate IDs 001’, the first VA compilation since the club’s closure nearly a year ago. A 12-track statement release that brings together modern house variants, melodic club moments, and a final stretch coloured by subtle Italo flavours.

The journey begins with Deckert’s ‘Pocari Sweat’, a crisp house track edged with ghetto-tech attitude, immediately setting an energetic tone. Miu Lena follows with her debut ‘Let Me Disport’, a driving, forward-pushing club cut that introduces her to the Watergate universe with confidence. Pole Position’s ‘In Your Mind’ with Steven Jones then deliver a full-bodied vocal house tune that lands with instant impact.

Mick Jerome and Dr Dubski shift the mood toward classic deep-house territory with ‘Fired Up’, warm, rolling, and carried by a cool, understated vocal. Aiwaska’s ‘Burnin’ keeps the groove tight and hypnotic, powered by chopped vocal snippets and his trademark swing. From there, Brazilian afro-house leader Curol arrives with John Gemiini, Nassá, and Ruddek on ‘Vibora’, injecting the compilation with bold percussion, rhythmic heat, and unmistakable South American personality.

Pinot Negro makes his debut with ‘U8’, an arpeggio-driven ride that leans into sleek, late-night emotion, before Argentinean talent Pairetti adds a catchy, slightly retro shine with ‘Darkness’, complete with hooky vocals and a neon sheen. Ae:ther and Momery then deliver another striking cut, ‘Faraway’, a big, cinematic, melodic track that amplifies the emotional core of the compilation.

The closing run moves into clubby territory with an Italo-tinged twist: Kiko & Olivier Giacomotto, both longtime Watergate contributors, set the tone with the stylish and high-impact ‘Seduction’, blending modern club power with glossy Italo flavour. Asal & Morab’s ‘Break It’ follows, adding darker drive with shimmering melodic accents, and Polygraph’s ‘Reverie’ closes the compilation, floating in on warm synth lines with a nostalgic glow.

With ‘Watergate IDs 001’, Watergate Records sets the tone for its next chapter: fresh voices, trusted names, and a renewed focus on groove, melody, and dancefloor identity.

Pole Position is an exhilarating new project born in the vibrant city of Barcelona, brought to life by two highly experienced and renowned figures in the music industry: Loïc Le Joliff, the visionary director and founder of Brunch Electronik, and Jaime Alguersuari, a former Red Bull Formula 1 driver now making his mark in the music world as Squire. Loïc’s musical journey began in Montreal, where he unearthed his profound passion for electronic music. His career took off with the creation of his own label and a solo DJ career under the name Lee Jo Life. His path eventually led him to Barcelona, where he launched Brunch Electronik. It was here, at one of his events, that he crossed paths with Jaime Alguersuari. Jaime, once celebrated as one of the youngest drivers in Formula 1 history, has seamlessly transitioned into the music industry, rebranding himself as Squire. The immediate connection between Loïc and Jaime was fueled by their shared passions for music and Formula 1. Their discerning taste in music and innovative approach to sound quickly revealed their shared influences, ranging from Jazz, Soul, and Hip Hop to Funk and evolving soundscapes. This synergy inspired them to create a new record label and social brand in Barcelona, leading to the birth of Ànims. The label’s releases have captured the attention of iconic artists such as me, Dixon, Adriatique, Solomun, John Digweed, and Carl Cox. With a dynamic lineup of releases scheduled for 2024, including an EP and several remixes, Pole Position is poised to lead listeners on an electrifying musical journey. In addition to their production work, Pole Position is making waves on the live scene with a packed schedule of national and international shows. Their performances are gaining widespread acclaim, further establishing their reputation in the global electronic music community.
