2024 repress - its been quite a while since we’ve last seen our next artist on watergate records. it was 2014 when he dropped his watergate mix and ep so it is with great pleasure that we welcome back the legendary kerri chandler. ‘checkmate’ is the epitome of a kerri chandler classic and has all the makings of a timeless future classic. with bold, soulful keys and massive analog drums ‘checkmate’ elevates any dance floor’s intensity to meteoric levels. to give an extra perspective to the single we invited another icon, steve rachmad to remix the original and he delivers an incredibly soulful techno revision while watergate mainstay cinthie hands over a expertly crafted modern twist with classic appeal. no matter what your searching for, there is a gem for you here. welcome back kerri!

re:vision series restarts with steve poindexters timeless classic >computer madness<. we are very honored and excited to be able to re-release this beast of a track! it is hard to imagine that this was really created over 2 decades ago. so the task at hand was to find the right contemporaries to revise this masterpiece, we didnt have to look far to find the man for the job: function is an old friend here at thema, and things got even better when he brought in jerome sydenham to co-produce the second treatment. it is thus with great pride we announce our re:vision of computer madness, featuring two resolutely modern reinterpretations of poindexters classic.
