the corner presents * bloodlines* its tenth release with a split ep by marcel dettmann (berghain, mdr, fabric, ostgut ton...), silent servant & anthony parasole… raw power!

one of the founding members of the ostgut ton family, marcel dettmann recorded his debut 12inch for the label alongside ben klock with >dawning< some five years ago. now after a string of highly praised releases, his debut album >dettmann<, and a handful of uncompromising records on his own mdr label, we arrive at this new ep for his home label. launching us into the space-race, >barrier< documents those tense moments of discovery as we reach into new territories. dettmanns unique textured sound design sets the scene before diving into >translation one< - a frantic, quivering and snaking snapshot into the kind of techno the producer stands for these days. metallic bass spins sideways, while ever-modulating percussion drives forward. the sinister sci-fi tones of >translation two< warble and jive in glorious syncopation as a systematic heavy kick and hat program works the bass frequencies and rhythmic zones. open and spacious, its meandering theme hangs deliciously between paranoia and positivity. in >planning< dettmann further explores his inclination for intricate, tripping synth patterns. a staggered, wonderfully immersive theme builds from delayed staccato notes in a classic analog sequence, underpinned by rumbling dub bass pressure

kontra music comes up with two mind-blowing techno pieces from marcel dettmann. constructed out of parts, samples and inspiration from swedish experimental dub/drone act mokira (type, raster noton & mille plateaux), dettmann delivers two brand new cuts.

2xcd compilation

paul rose, aka scuba, the mastermind behind the incredibly well curated hotflush label, has been enlisted to create his own dj-kicks mix. featuring a healthy helping of exclusives from his camp including new music from addison groove & boddika, the mix treads the line between the uk bass music scene in which scuba came up, and the techno sounds dominant in his current home of berlin, creating a new sound in the process.

it seems that there is an overabundance of artists today who have reached a level of success from their work, but very few of them come close to the level of output and range as butch. equal parts producer extraordinaire, dj, gentleman, and comedian, butch has everything deserving of a star in todays dance music arena. which is why, we here at watergate are extremely pleased to present him as next in line for our watergate mix series

ben klock zeigt auf no. 66 ein schonungsloses insider-set, wie eine entdeckungsreise. statt der hits waehlt er raritaeten und unveroeffentlichte tracks wie zb. von staffan linzatti, sagat, k-hand und dj bone werden kombiniert mit oldskool-favoriten von josh wink, robert hood (aka floorplan), luke slater (aka planetary assault systems), dvs1 und technasia, die wirklich nur ein langjaehriger trainspotter kennen kann. dazwischen mischt er den uk dubstep-helden burial, brandneues material von mathew jonson, sigg gonzalez und sagat, eigene produktionen, edits und reworks, sowie neue cuts seines labels klockworks. ein fantastischer mixtrip von au§ergewoehnlicher und kompromissloser qualitaet!
