Matthias Meyer and a trio label of debutants make up the fourth instalment of the much-loved ‘Watergate Affairs’ series.
 
Initiated in 2016, the series assembles a collection of top-quality tracks that otherwise could not fit into Watergate’s busy release schedule, such is the strong pool of music the label draws from.

Emerging Dutch producer Budakid joins the label with ‘Orrery’, after previously making an impact with cuts on Last Night On Earth, Einmusika and Lost & Found. The track’s dreamy soundscapes and otherworldly energy make for a transcendental mood maker. Matthias Meyer is suitably superb with ‘Interlude’, as delicate strings and a muffled melody line gently wash against a shore of sparse beats. Henri Bergmann & Julian Wassermann link for ‘Maenad’, as punchy grooves bring the EP into peak-time territory as a multi-layered chord pattern hits with a satisfying headrush. Danish artist Nandu rounds out the package with ‘My Mystery Is A Mystery’. It’s the kind of succulent end-of-nighter every set needs as uplifting pads, stirring keys and a buttery bassline glide together in sweet unison.

'The latest release on Tash’s Movement Recordings finds the label showcasing the third installment of its ‘GLBLMVMT’ series. These region-specific compilations were first unveiled in 2018 with Federico Monachesi curating the progressive hotbed of Argentina. 2019 then saw Movement invite Paul Angelo & Don Argento to explore the up and coming Cyprus scene. Now travelling to India for 2020, Movement Recordings have called upon Aaryan to compile the third edition. Featured on the collection are (in order of appearance): Weird Sounding Dude, Midnight Traffic, Aaryan, Amol Reon, Jay Rei, Vridian and Future Culture. 

Long one of India’s most intriguing artists, Weird Sounding Dude leads the collection off in fine fashion. The Bangalore resident lays claim to an impressive discography, highlighted by releases on Juicebox Music, If You Wait, Kindisch, Plattenbank and Strange Town Recordings. Now landing on Tash’s Movement Recordings, Weird Sounding Dude presents the buoyant, groovy and playfully melodic ‘Twenty-One’.'

1979’s take on ‘Signs of a Swarm’ is contemplative and beautifully uplifting. Reverb-laden strings and atmospheres infuse the original with an enthralling anthemic quality, while retaining the originals’ singular melodic feel.

Ezequiel Arias returns to the label with his signature smooth style.

Arias has packed a lot into his years. Since breaking onto the scene in 2013 he’s now signed music to a cross section of melodic labels from Replug to Anjunadeep. Enjoying months of chart action with his debut for Sudbeat, we welcome Ezequiel back for the ‘Amnesia EP’.

Opening with ‘Amnesia’, melodics slowly reveal themselves against a sparse percussive groove. Becoming more expansive over time, the sonics take on a story-telling dynamic, ebbing and flowing throughout. Starting innocently, ‘Images of Time’ is a subtle groove that lingers with intent. The main break offers the big reveal and the track springs into life. Finally, ‘Paradies’ opens with dream-like atmospheres which come to an epic conclusion in the break. Mind music par excellence!

For the 81st release on Perspectives Digital, Darin Epsilon's renowned imprint brings together 7 talented artists from 5 continents for "Perspectives Around The World, Vol. 3". The 3rd global voyage of the popular series features (in alphabetical order) Amir Telem, Austin Leeds and Danko Skystöne, Deltium, ETCH and BetterDaze, and Sam Hopgood.

A successful Israeli newcomer, Amir Telem has quickly found success with his music on such celebrated imprints as Kindisch, Movement Recordings, and ICONYC. Making his Perspectives Digital debut, "The Gopi's Song of Separation" is a dark and pensive affair that revels in a rapid-fire bassline groove. Twinkling arpeggios ripple across the midrange as counterpoint motifs and soft vocal phrasing provide intrigue in a stripped-back breakdown that paves the way for a powerful second half to explode into life with dynamic club floor vitality.

A contemplative offering to match the changing seasons and the autumnal colors of the northern hemisphere, "November" provides new muted tones via Austin Leeds and Danko Skystöne. The American and Australian duo reprise their successful relationship on 2019's "Day Break" and "Summer Breeze" with an immaculately crafted affair that conjures vivid sonic colors and subtle vocal phrases. The outcome is an emotive piece that delights with catchy motifs and repetitive phrases that sit elegantly against a smooth bassline and an octave-pitched arpeggio that builds into the breakdown and second half.

Spanish producer Deltium impresses with the intricate flowing lines of "Equinox". Redolent in smoothly filtered arpeggios, this well-crafted track provides rich sonic harmonies that revolve seamlessly around a central melodic theme. Waxing and waning in filtered patterns, a clicking kick and offbeat percussion ties the lighter phrasing to a smooth metronomic cadence.

Finding success on Timeless Moment and OKO Recordings, ETCH has created a unique sonic texture with a blend of Melodic, Afro, and Progressive House. As the Egyptian artist now joins forces with Russian newcomer, BetterDaze, the duo have created a dynamic and vibrant offering via "Solitaire". Full of mesmerizing melodic intensity, whip-cracking snare rolls, filtered motifs, and white noise risers, the result is a strong and immaculately crafted affair likely to set crowds on fire well into 2021.

Up and coming Australian producer Sam Hopgood is a welcome addition to the Perspectives Digital roster after releases on Lauter, Natura Viva, and Particles. Hitting its stride with immediate impact, Sam reveals a shimmering gem with "Spectre". An arpeggiated pattern sets the tone as its detuned phrasing adds attitude and sonic variation. A delicate piano motif at the three-quarter mark breakdown is the perfect juxtaposition for the hypnotizing arpeggio, while a heavy kick, simple offbeat hi-hats, and atmospheric woodblock percussion are the perfect rhythmic backdrop.

Perspectives Around The World, Vol. 3 feat. Amir Telem, Austin Leeds & Danko Skystöne, Deltium, ETCH & BetterDaze, and Sam Hopgood.

As we enter the somber and chilled autumn months in Montreal, we are lucky to find such warmth in the strength of the local music scene. The city has always been a hub for electronic producers, with a network of support and talent unlike anywhere else in the world. Even when the dance community is quieted as events are on pause, there is a lot to be proud of as Montrealers continue to exert excellence in the studio.

Tyler Mesa is the latest artist whom we have grown very excited about. The Montrealer has been able to craft a genuinely unique sound; avoiding the guise of sounding like the rest, Mesa is firmly asserting his own sound as he continues his journey into the international scene.

We are thrilled to have Tyler on board for the next TOR project, the Erathia EP. On display is a sound deeply rooted in trance and techno roots, yet full of innovative flair. The EP represents Mesa's departure in a space where he will explore his influences and introspections, the results of which will be heard throughout the When We Dip labels.

Erathia and Dream to Reality showcase a knack for soothing textures with fluttering melodies. Easing us into the depths on the project, Mesa’s ability to float the mind is evident from the get-go.

July 2020 saw Meanwhile’s third release feature Dutch icon, Roger Martinez with a three-track EP that was a soothing tonic for troubled times. Now returning to “Cosmic” a trio of remixes come from Jamie Stevens, Paul Deep and label head-honchos, GMJ & Matter.

An Australian legend with ARIAS to his name and a host of production credits for the likes of Bedrock, All Day I Dream and Replug, Jamie Stevens makes his Meanwhile debut with a typically impressive reworking of “Cosmic Drum”. Finding a new rhythmic path with trademark ingenuity and craftsmanship, a laid-back groove paves the way for a heavily effected and pulsating lead melody to wend its way across the eight-minute track. Making innovative use of Martinez’s original components, Stevens has created an elegant reworking that builds through rich harmonic layers transforming the original into a dynamic and highly original new remix.

Born and raised in the sprawling Buenos Aries metropolis, Paul Deep has spent his entire teenage years and adult life immersed in the underground dance scene. An accomplished DJ with a penchant for deep and progressive house with a splash of techno thrown in for good measure, his original music for Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, sit neatly alongside remixes for Beat Boutique, MNL and Mango Alley. Another Meanwhile debutant, Paul Deep retains the rich rhythmic collage of “Cosmic Drum” as the familiar melodies from Martinez’s track also waft across proceedings, coated in reverb and filtered tape delays. Evolving into a new textured groove of the Argentinean’s making in the second half, a glorious array of gated sounds add new sonic character to a seething, hypnotic remix, full of South American flavour.

Continuing their assault on the underground dance industry through solo and collaborative guises and a plethora of timeless progressive house anthems, GMJ & Matter once again return to their label to provide another high-calibre offering. Remixing “80s” the Australian duo create a trademark club-friendly rhythm that provides the perfect framework for a glorious array of sonic textures and soundscapes that emerge out of Roger Martinez’s original components. The distinctive meandering lead line of the original ripples across the ten-minute piece before a rasping new bassline and spine-tingling synth lead spring to life at the breakdown. Continuing into the third movement with ease, the combination of freeform melody and hypnotic rhythmic backdrop create the perfect match for an ingenious remix that sees GMJ & Matter extend their production repertoire with an easy skill.

Three new remixes of Roger Martinez give “Cosmic” a whole new perspective from Southern Hemisphere skies.
