standardcover - with the build up to the highly anticipated debut album for both ruede hagelstein and watergate records nearing its release date, we have put together an advanced release of the original ruede track soul dynamic including some stunning remixes to get you ready.
as always, the return of ruede hagelstein is inevitable and with each return he ups the ante tenfold showcasing his ever growing prowess behind the studio door. it seems as if, with each ruede ep, the amount of elements utilized shrinks while at the same time the sound grows in power and dominance and that could not be better exemplified than here. consisting of two originals and a remix from the one and only martin buttrich, the ep is a gross display of well thought out, mature dance floor jewels. opening the short player is hagelsteins ‘dematerialize feat. justin evans where a sinister yet soothing vocal sets the tone for the entire track, laying the groundwork for a gorgeous bass drum and shimmers of distant percussion carry us into celestial spaces. ‘forward vision is up next and follows suit by relying on a brooding minimal groove to drive the shimmers of glistening atmospherics and sparkling sonics optimal for dizzy and delirious club moments. last but certainly not least we turn to the legend who is martin buttrich to twist the original ‘dematerialize feat. justin evan into a more straightforward composition with his signature stylings opening the doors of accessibility to a wider demographic of disc jockeys resulting in a track that stretches the playability to a wide range of disc jockeys
for the sophomore installment of our various artists series watergate affairs, we bring you four searing cuts of dance floor mania from ruede hagelstein, adana twins, marco resmann and tiefschwarz.
this second document continues the theme of openness, crafty unpredictability and heady, vibe-heavy tech featuring tiefschwarz, ruede hagelstein, florian busse and re.you of course. the label extension of his event concept, younion firms our focus on precision selection where quality quashes quantity. like his parties where the line-up relishes in close connections rather than the all-too-common top-loaded hype parade, the label drawers deep and encourages no boundaries.
FOOTPRINTS FEAT CAR (THE DRIFT, RUEDE HAGELSTEIN,CAN LOVE BE SYNTH RMX)
12 Inch 20.06.16
following last summers acclaim ruede hagelsteins long player apophenia, we once again revisit the album, this time with a few stunning remixes from the drifter, can be love synth, and ruede himself of the hugely popular footprints feat. c.a.r.. up first is the drifter and he turns out what may be his best remix to date with a swelling, emotional ride that will most definitely be an anthem for the coming summer. taking a different approach, yet just as engaging, ruede reworks his original into a dark, looping psychedelic odyssey perfect for late nights or early mornings. can love be synth rounds out the remixes with a gorgeous pop-esque twist on the original choosing to focus on live instrumentation and retro synthesis resulting in a cross-over favorite. and finally, for all the times you want the vibe without the vocal, a dub version of the original gem.
ruede hagelstein and watergate go hand in hand. not only is ruede one of the longest running residents at the club, but hes also the man behind some of the labels most acclaimed music and the curator responsible for lucky number 13 in the illustrious watergate mix series. with this, it seemed obvious to put ruede up to his next task: an album. it is with great anticipation and excitement that we bring you the first lp for both ruede and watergate records, apophenia. the double 12 inch includes a digital downloadcode.
with the build up to the highly anticipated debut album for both ruede hagelstein and watergate records nearing its release date, we have put together an advanced release of the original ruede track soul dynamic including some stunning remixes to get you ready.
here it is, the fourth.two installment of the diary-series on his mission to unearth shining house- / techhouse - / techwhatever-diamonds perfectly reflecting upon.you-sound of today… and tomorrow.
the protagonists of our next release literally fit to the mediums color: we are happy to announce tiefschwarzs first appearance on our label which is carved in black rills, three years after they mixed the watergate 09 compilation for us.
winter is almost over but for the uy080 we decided to dip our label paint-brush deep into a potty filled with white. the painter is called ruede hagelstein and his work of art is simply called minus. a track with the charm of a winter-landscape, fully accomplished, crystal clear and warming like an analogue heater. wearing almost nothing and casted into a snow-white plate it will be a pleasure for all vinyl collectors.
hot off the heels of mixing the thirteenth instalment of berlin nightclub, watergates long-standing mix series, ruede (real name tobias) hagelstein returns with an alien invasion, space-history themed three track ep for tiefschwarzs ever-reliable imprint, souvenir music.
with the name of his new ep, ruede hagelstein sticks to the maritime visual theme of his recent watergate 13 compilation. the parrotfish is a colourful thalassian, who is as much skilled at submerging in mystical depths as ruedes light-footed producer-style. the grooves on the first side are filled with a collaboration between hagelstein and emerson todd.
souvenir presents ruede hagelsteins second single release >berlin< off last years debut album >soft pack< alongside his band the noblettes. last time round it was >a priori< with a bunch of remixes, and here >berlin< is featured in its original version.
the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.
A PRIORI, G. & THE COUTO DUMONTS RMX, TIEFSCHWARZ RMX
12" 05.12.11
ruede hagelstein wants it all, and not just that jazz. the berlin producer, known for his productions that straddle the boundary between house on techno, released on labels like souvenir and upon you records, will release his debut album soft pack together with his band, the noblettes on november 18, 2011. a priori is the first track on the indie-electronic lp, and cannot claim itself free from jazz influences. with piano, a horn section, and brushed snares, the track swings with the best of them. since ruedes vocals also require something a little more dancefloor-friendly, this digital appetizer will be served up with a remix from the man himself. the vinyl will follow with remixes from guillaume & the coutu dumonts, noir and tiefschwarz.
ruede hagelstein is best known for techno and house. although his heart beats not only for the bass drum. his first album, soft pack, invites you to melancholic deceleration, which runs like a thread throughout the album. yes, ruede is a resident dj at berlins watergate club, but here he presents songs he would not play in the club because they are too down tempo and sentimental for sweaty dancefloor nights
who am i? thats what ruede hagelstein asks himself when he looks at the reflection in the mirror every morning when he gets up. then the image goes into the studio and produces tracks for upon you for him. the first one sings >give a little slap to your soul< darkly and romanticly at a relaxed 120 bpm into the mike and has taken up lodgings on a1 of our uy 047. the second plays piano, even if just paraphrased. the b1 beat requires a slightly faster dancer that a1. then the third member of the group on b2 with a quite definitive minimal touch, sounds a bit like peter and the wolf at the lsd opera … hop hop off you go then my lovelies.
repress 2012 !! big support from: reboot, davide squillace, maya jane coles, steve bug, carlo lio, sebo k, gregor tresher, timo maas, karotte, guy j, brothers vibe, martinez brothers, anja schneider, monika kruse, tiefschwarz, sis...
with the release of ruede hagelsteins >emergerncy< souvenir released one of the floorfillers of 2010: >emergency< has been hailed as one of the best singles of the year in the reader polls of groove, de:bug, resident advisor and many more. no wonder why! ruede hagelstein knows how to treat an after-party stomper. >emergency< is the perfect early morning pick, the sun shines on his bongos, the nonsense raves with his lyrics, the horns roar with delight, and a plane flies over a crowd of happy, sleepless dancers. due to popular demand for this record souvenir now brings you this fabulous tune once again, remixed super flu and re.you. re.you once again proves why souvenir loves his music with his outstanding remix and super flu who are feliks thielemann & mathias schwarz perfectly proove their philosophy: >lots of herzblut and a great traum behind, nothing can harm you anymore….!<
viele worte müssen wir diesmal nicht verlieren. ruede hagelstein hat 2010 wohl sein erfolgreichstes jahr hinter sich. und so gibts zum abschluss noch ein vinyl mit remixen seines clubhits ?embezzle me? auf lebensfreude in versionen von tiefschwarz, santé und labelchef gunne !!! already support by seth troxler, nick curly, gregor tresher, mathias schaffhäuser, hugo, dubfire, noze, shlomi aber and many more
for the third instalment of the always-qualitative various artists collection, ali and basti have found some treasures among the freshest demos of their closest friends from berlin, ruede hagelstein and re.you. not so surprisingly, this souvenir n°28 has the creative energy and the diversity of a successful party weekend in the german capital.
well 20 catalogue numbers and three ôthe cheapersö releases later, our ruede hagelstein dares to perform a solo dance on upon you. in this case- a chair dance. the name ôreise nach jerusalemö stands for the game moving chairs that ruede still remembers from his east german child hood.the principles of the track will be recognized by those who know the game. to all others the a1 side will appear to be a mean techno pusher. ôaron habritö also surprises the inclined listener with unexpected curves of tension but still remains on the house ground of reality and digs like ôlevithanö towards the thick underbrush of pre-christian mythology that ruede seemed to in any way have heard of in one of those brandenburg kibbuzes. shalom!
on some things you can always rely on - ruede hagelstein s dog vs. dog series belongs to it without doubt. and he is also not disappointing with the no.4. on the contrary - hagelstein offers us two very different tracks, but which have one thing in common: quality! aerohonica appears unusually housy and melancholic, whereas scissor mouse is a breaker in ruedes typically manner. both tracks are high class floor bombs! the same procedere as every year? - with dog, with pleasure.
ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.
the year 2007 is beginning with turbulences for ruede hagelstein. real life, clubbing and the life of his beloved twist and turn through out the night. spooky appears the >ghostdriver< and with the drive by the needle of the compass circulates. change of direction. clarity is extinguished by the searchlight at the horizon. pictures change to sketches and the dark reveals the >pig< biting itself in the tail and one cant look away while it´s mouth is wriggling like a funny muscle. a ruede roadmovie
ruede grants us an unusual insight into his dogs life. the tracks teem a playful lightness but remain cool, the way it is actually supposed to be.. played by sven väth, luciano, bleed...
die paradiese ep ist das zweite produckt aus der weitlaufigen fabriketage des handle with care- konsortiums, interpret diesmal der berliner breitbandaktivist ruede hagelstein.. spielerisch streckt er uns sein werk entgegen..
ruede hagelstein and watergate go hand in hand. not only is ruede one of the longest running residents at the club, but hes also the man behind some of the labels most acclaimed music and the curator responsible for lucky number 13 in the illustrious watergate mix series. with this, it seemed obvious to put ruede up to his next task: an album.
our next watergate compilation is numbered with the myth-enshrouded 13 - a burden taken by our longstanding friend and resident ruede hagelstein. simultaneously to his enrolment into our booking agency, he curated 25 tracks for our new cd. the collection contains known classics and new gems. the mix starts off with a dreamy melancholic track by prins thomas and develops an enormous deepness

upon you records has finally reached the big five-o thats right - 50! regular releases old, and to celebrate we are inviting you into our musical swinger club. while our upon you artists usually work their way up to a musical orgasm on their own, this time they have doubled up for a nice old gangbang of massive proportions. gunnar stiller and marcus meinhardt are tag teaming on a1 with their little winner >feinherb< and are leaving out the foreplay and get straight down to it. then we have nico stojan and the cheapers who are finger banging the buttons and levers for >railroad< on a2. flipping the side over we find our dutch-danish buddies onno and mathias mesteno and let the puppets dance to some sweet house beats with the track >puppets<. finishing of this vinyl masterpiece are marco resmann and ruede hagelstein with >monday<, once again proving how tender they can be if necessary, blowing out the last candles with a touch of saxophone.
