Blazing newcomer Henri Bergmann makes her full EP debut on Watergate Records with the captivating ‘Mind Control’ EP.
 
Building a buzz via impressive releases on her label Automatik, the Londoner has picked up support from everyone from Dixon, Solomun and Maceo Plex. Indeed, mention the Dodi Palese Remix remix of her track ‘Protection’ to any clued-up melodic house fan and you’re likely to be met with a blissed-out response, so beloved was the cut, which also ended up in Tale of Clubs’ top 10 for 2021.
 
Her maiden voyage on the Oberbaumbrücke home label is a tour de force of chugging house that encompasses new wave, electro and progressive elements, with a strong cast of collaborators and remixes along the way.
 
Pushing herself creatively during the lockdown, this EP is the first time we’ve heard Henri utilise her voice on her own productions, and the resulting work is a treat. The title track is a team-up with Biesmans who brings his distinct retro sound signature to the track, while Henri’s vox elevates it to another level. ‘Our Time Has Come’ is a punchy dancefloor gem propelled by her own vocals and a classy psychedelic synth line. ‘We Just Keep On Going’ brings bags of robotic soul to the table, as Henri’s husband Wennink takes to the vocoder, alongside a mystical lead melody. Stephan Jolk returns to the label following his excellent ‘Freedom’ EP in April, re-working ‘Mind Control’ into a muscular weapon. Meanwhile Echonomist, who is notable for his appearance on WhoMadeWho’s Watergate 26 compilation, also takes his hand to the title track, re-fashioning it into a tough bass-driven electro cut that’s beautiful and brain-scrambling in equal doses.

Henri Bergmann & Wennink - We Just Keep On Going

The Hungarian artist debuts on the label with two songs and a remix from Tayga.

Lost Scenario: modern and minimalistic, electronic and quirky, metallic and spacey.

Lost Scenario (Tayga Remix): The Italian producer flips the orignal into a dubby house version.

Blank City: deep and distant, flashbacks and left overs of a cataclysmic situation.

Rising UK duo Mia Mendi returns for their second outing on Watergate Records with the retro-tinged Robosynapse EP.
 
The label debut of Mia Mendi was a notable 2021 highlight for the Oberbaumbrücke imprint. Titled 'Ubi’, the EP was a collaboration with Thomas Gandey and demonstrated their full-bodied dancefloor approach, injecting their unique sound signature into a modern progressive house palette.
 
‘Robosynapse’ is no less exciting (or fun). The title track is a plump nu wave houser, driven by soaring retro synths, a gutsy electro bassline and an 80s guitar solo. ‘Simulated Reality’ buzzes and hums, seven minutes of emotional electro and crispy drumlines, before handing the baton to ‘Cyborg String’, which continues the dreamy throwdown.
 
Alan Dixon makes his first contribution to Watergate Records and re-fashions ‘Robosynapse’ into a glistening cosmic-tinged beast, amplifying the focus on the guitar lead. Fresh off her label debut with the excellent ‘Mind Control’ EP, Henri Bergmann makes a welcome return to re-work ‘Simulated Reality’ into a powerful melodic gem, heightening the focus on the synths. An added bonus to the pack, Musumeci delivers a supreme chugging re-work of ‘Ubi’. Game on!

Indie dance champion Biesmans shares the first taste of a special new project on Watergate with his ‘Teamworks’ EP. 
 
The Belgian artist enjoyed a standout 2021 with the release of his debut album ‘Trains, Planes & Automobiles’. Now in summer 2022, he comes strong with a stellar five-track EP, that celebrates the beauty of collaborative work.
 
‘Holiday’ sees Biesmans connect with Danish artist Kasper Bjørke for a full-bodied slice of cosmic dance, driven by neon synths and elevated by Jacob Bellens’ nostalgic vocal. Biesmans re-links with old friend TomTheBomb who featured on last year’s album, for ‘Shock Therapy’ a driving house jam that touches on electroclash, college rock and pop. Ascendent French artist Mala Ika makes her Watergate debut as she teams with Biesmans on the fantastic ‘Crème Brûlée’, a celebration of their shared love of ‘80s electro. ‘Hounds of Hell’ is his collab with the Adana Twins, which was birthed during a studio stint in Hamburg, and is built around a catchy disco arpeggio. A synchronic follow-on from his release on 17 Steps in 2019, Biesmans taps the Dusky brothers for ‘Back in the Daze’, an emotional electro cut made for end-of-night moments.  
 
All tracks will feature on a new project coming on Watergate. Full announcement to follow soon.

Every artist hits a point where polish starts to feel like a cage. In Constant Evolution is Madd Rod’s way of breaking out.

His third studio album follows Sad Behaviour (Discotexas, 2023), a record that marked his transition toward something rougher, freer, and more emotionally charged. This time, Madd Rod takes that instinct to its logical conclusion: imperfection and rawness not as failure, but as a way to keep it real.

Across thirteen tracks, In Constant Evolution drifts between EBM, Electro, Indie Dance, and Krautrock with unfiltered emotion. The warmth of analog gear, the hum of room noise, and the occasional slip of timing are all left in as part of the texture: a quiet protest against overproduction packaged as an album that sounds lived-in.

As founder of Inner Shah Recordings, Madd Rod isn’t chasing perfection. He’s documenting the process of becoming. In an industry that sells the illusion of resolution, In Constant Evolution is a reminder that the cracks are where the light gets in.

Tracklist:
1. Storms on a Hidden Moon
2. Fighting the Oppression with Love
3. Rainy Days in the Summer
