The smart and charming Berlin based producer Phonique (Michael Vater) returns with his second album!
„Good Idea“ is a twinkling rainbow, teeming with positive vibes and breathing the cosmopolitan creativity of a widely travelled mind.
The common ground of the close to thirty tracks (if you count the bonus CD) is the kind of modernity in Phonique‘s music which doesn‘t deny it‘s roots, but reflects a new, urban feel which has seldom been so successfully displayed.Although „Good Idea“ can be described as modern electronic music in the broadest sense, it‘s difficult to pigeonhole the album as it combines so many influences, ranging from Deep- to Electro-House, from Nu-Disco to HipHop, from Lounge to Minimal and Techno to Pop.
Phonique and his production partner Alex Krüger prove their outstanding versatility without sounding arbitrary. Every tune is well thought out, but still sounds fleet-footed and unbelievably fresh. Handplayed instruments like guitars and pianos fit smoothly in the soundscape adding a good portion of vitality.

The Pop-moments of the album are obvious enough to grab your immediate attention, but subtle enough to grant a longer and repeated listening pleasure that lets you discover more layers and aspects of the music.
Phonique managed to gather an array of illustrious guest musicians, mainly vocalists, around him. The album features the talents of well reputed artists like Erlend Øye (Whitest Boy Alive, Kings Of Convenience), Richard Davis, Ian Whitelaw, Shadee and Rodney Hunter of Aphrodelics, Data MC and Marc Hype as well as top electronic producers like Steve Bug, Gui Boratto, Vincenzo, Zoo Brazil, Badmouth (Mazi & Cass) and fresh talents such as Ruben or Liora.

The collaboration highlights of the album include „Casualities“ (feat. Erlend Øye) which merges uplifting airiness with melancholy in the distinctive Erlend way, the soulful „Worked It Out“ (feat. Ian Whitelaw and Meitz) and the powerful „Computer Kidz“ (feat. Shadee). But the flow of the entire album makes it difficult to pick out just a few tracks.

On the second, bonus CD (limited edition), you‘ll find the more dancefloor-dedicated facet of Phonique‘s creativity in a homogeneous and highly dynamic mix by Phonique. Another twelve all new Phonique tracks fall into place perfectly, ranging from deeper to Electro to more minimal and techy House tracks. The mix reflects the uniquely dynamic of a Phonique DJ set.

„Good Idea“ is definitely a strong musical statement, but not in a loudmouthy way. The album is fresh, inspiring and innovative without claiming to reinvent the wheel. It‘s a masterpiece by a sympathatic Berlin producer to make your summer a little nicer.

Infotext:

It seems as if 15 years have quickly flown by since we first opened our doors at the base of the famous Oberbaumbrücke joining Berlin’s Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain districts. With countless long nights into majestic mornings and open airs in our beloved city to showcases spanning the globe, Watergate has grown to include a booking agency and a record label pushing the sounds of our mainstay artists and some of the most revered acts in the scene. To celebrate our journey over the last decade and a half we have put together a special anniversary release of 25 new, exclusive and formerly unreleased tracks to be released as a 2x CD set with our traditional Watergate artwork as well as a special collector's edition box set as a 5x vinyl, 2x CD package including a commemorative art print, two free entries to the club itself and the very special photo book ‘Sound Travels’ by Linus Dessecker which features photos and interviews of artists that played at Watergate when they arrived or left Berlin, all wrapped up in a sleek minimalistic package entitled “WATERGATE XV”.

Encompassing music from club residents like Matthias Meyer, Jimi Jules, Marco Resmann, La Fleur, Tiefschwarz, Floyd Lavine, Lee Jones, Adana Twins, Sebo K, Hyenah and Cinthie and new comers Gorje Hewek & Izhevski, Gumz and Ryan Davis to friends and cohorts who have close ties to the club such as Butch, Henrik Schwarz, Ellen Allien, Alex Niggemann, Catz n’ Dogz, Steve Bug, Osunlade, Solomun, Rodriguez Jr., Oliver Koletzki, Anja Schneider, Mathias Kaden and Kollektiv Turmstrasse, WATERGATE XV comprises of a plethora of sounds you have come to anticipate from our home along the Spree. From deep and euphoric cuts to lush organics tracks to heavier, peak time compositions, this compilation finds a moment that encapsulates every aspect of the sounds of Watergate. 

We think this body of music perfectly captures our essence, whether it’s under our famous LED’s, on the waterfloor watching the sun rise or at any of our showcases and open airs the world over. We hope it can spark a memory in your mind to a moment we shared over the last 15 years. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share these moments and music and here is to many more years together on the dance floor with you.

Paul Haro - Distant

Zen Freeman, the London-raised and Los Angeles-based DJ, artist and music producer artfully adds a touch of refinement to his immersive sets and hypnotic, head-nodding original productions. Whether curating music for Aston Martin, SpaceX, Gucci, and Vogue; soundtracking events for The Academy® Awards, Jeff Bezos, LACMA, and MOCA Galas; or unveiling songs of his own with icons such as Boy George, Rufus Wainwright, Macy Gray, Jason Derulo and Mr. Hudson, he seamlessly adapts to any setting.
Growing up in London, he spent his nights in the embrace of the UK’s storied club and underground party scene. Touching down in Los Angeles in 2003 after DJ-ing one of the hottest Golden Globes® parties, he quietly emerged as an in-demand musical presence and a pioneer in the global metropolitan club scene. Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, and Vanity Fair sought out his curation, while Cartier, Burberry, Audi and Louis XIII enlisted him as a music supervisor. Hundreds of exclusive parties followed, with events for the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Elton John, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, at venues ranging from Sundance Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival to Cannes Film Festival. At the same time, he headlined solo residencies at Las Vegas mega clubs XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club, Zouk Nightclub, Ayu Dayclub and Voltaire. He effectively established himself as the first luxury brand DJ to tour worldwide and grace the stages of festivals on multiple continents.

Building up a catalog of original compositions, Zen has generated tens of millions of streams, collaborated with Fred Falke, Todd Edwards, Ten Ven, and Picard Brothers, and released tracks on West End Records, Higher Ground, Defected, Atlantic Records, and Sony Music. He’s attracted the support of Calvin Harris, Diplo, A-Trak, Disclosure, and Pete Tong. In 2024, he continued to sharpen his signature style with his latest remix of Calvin Harris & Rag’n’Bone Man’s “Lovers In A Past Life.” Powered by retro synthesizers and nineties drum machines, it nods to turn-of-the-century French house with a straightforward yet unshakable groove.

Zen Freeman’s clients are assured that whether he is playing a private fête for Sean Penn or Brad Pitt, Budweiser's London Olympics closing party, the Monaco Grand Prix after-party, or at one of his residencies, his brand certainly adds cachet and makes it buzzworthy. Zen leaves an inimitable imprint on everything he does.
