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!

following some new gems on the great waxtefacts imprint, strip steve delivers a beautifully crafted cosmic ep as the second release on berlin based label man band. with sounds ranging from ambient to raw, galactic workouts, this 5 tracker is a must have for listening just as much as dancing. ‘deep within the distant galaxy, a spaceship cruised under the glow of exotic stars. it’s metallic frame glimmered beneath the shimmering light as it surged forwards through time and space. it was embarking upon a spectacularly perilous odyssey, a journey into the abyss. its passengers sat eagerly watching their planet vanish out of sight through bubble windows. they made jokes amongst one another, cracking a smile as appropriate, but they were scared. - words by the ransom note, inspired by the track odyssey. vital sales points: played by alex from tokyo at rex club, paris and cocktail d amore, berlin. track odyssey premiered by the ransom note

waxtefacts swings by the block with a bunch of ep’s from the crew. first off - strip steve with the dog days ep. landing on the a-side - cause it’s cold outside cools up the vibe with it’s evolving racing mood which is set to shift temperatures across any room. whatever u.b. pushes you back where you came from and gets your inner you dancing with the other inner you. for machine gum funk, strip steve teams up the mysterious dj storch for a live jam that captures the moment. capo puts the crown of the ep with teleporting you to the land of dreams where we will leave you hanging until the next wxtfx release.

strip steve returns with his second single one thing feat. robert owens, taken out from his ambitious album micro mega, released earlier this year on boysnoize records.

micro mega ist eine mischung aus high-class-house,nu-disco, techno und dubstep. strip steve offerbart darin seine liebe zu rave (stomp), die sonnige seite der 80er (radiocheck) und zu darkeren sounds (calcium feat. the glow). hoehepunkt und erste single ist die koop mit dem kalifornischen dreampop-duo puro instinct, astral projection, ein musikalischer leckerbissen mit einflüssen von den beach boys bis chic.dem folgt der hypnotische dancefloor-knaller one thing, dessen kombination aus strip steve starken soundlines und robert owens himmlischer stimme magische momente ausloest.ein ueberaus gelungenes debuetalbum - von micro zu mega!

after his first stomp in 2012 its time for the true first single astral projection out of his upcoming debut album micro mega (out in june)! for the new single strip steve is teaming up with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop band puro instinct, young protégées of living legend ariel pink, straight outta sunny southern california. unlike his more dancefloor tunes stomp/mother circuit (bnr078), strip steve is taking us here on a trip painting lingering psychedelic-noir disco pop. astral projection goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from the beach boys, chic, and modern disco like amplified orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi faceted strip steves musical approaching can be. its the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered popformula which leaves the song grow and breathe on its own. this cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. so relax & leave your soul wonder, cause astral projection will take you to a new dimension until youll have the pleasure to discover >micro mega< - strip steves debut album.
