fracture 4 debutes on the infamous evil hardcore sister off prspct!

darkel is the solo project of jean-benoît dunckel, who is also known as half of the french duo air. his first solo album came out in 2006, at the same time as charlotte gainsbourgs 5:55 album that he produced alongside with his acolyte from air. as well as participating to mythical soundtracks with air (virgin suicides, lost in translation, marie antoinette, quartier lointain, pioneer), jean-benoît composed the score of bee, je mappelle hmm, and also the quirky film cyprien but always in a very organic and solar electronic spirit.

we here at watergate are extremely excited to bring you our next 12inch release from a close friend of the club and producer extraordinaire, alex niggemann. for this ep alex joined forces with the acclaimed voice from whomadewho, bon homme, to create an incredibly warm and beautiful journey. sorrow is a masterfully crafted array of sound and emotion. while a big rolling kick and crisp hand claps drive the groove, a capricious arpeggio, warm piano chords and the smooth serenade of bon hommes vocals create an undeniably passionate excursion into the deeper moments one can experience on the dance floor.

*sorrow* is the second single from out cold, taken from the debut album *invasion of love*. the single is as a limited 12 inch remix ep featuring a remix of the single by the invisible, plus album track remixes from ewan pearson (all i want) and craig bratley (synchronised).

ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications.flame and a thought are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. visitation dub iii is a different version of an ovatow track, earlier released as part of the viewpoints chapter one compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing bcs presence. the release is dedicated to the loss of south rotterdam based dj juvenile jay who played an important roll in the early dj career of frustrated funks head honcho klen, the man behind the ovatow moniker. very much recommended!

after the amazing view from above ep on frantic flowers we simply couldnt resist to do another project with this guy. detroit legend terrence dixon, the mastermind behind population one, is a genius in the field of minimalism and reduction. as a truly unique character from the early detroit techno era, always being true to his own style, this ep brings 4 new cuts in his typical and recognizable sound. minimalistic monotone rhythms and weird loop constructions, always with the right tension in place, sometimes topped off with spoken words. on the title track i program my computer right, a weird guitar loaded affair, terrence dixon is accompanied by ulandra & tiaria, supplying the vocals. again a very collectible release on frustrated funks harbour city sorrow!

the second offering on hcs from the mighty rotterdam based duo. again duplex drop bombs with their signature state of the art inner city techno. clearly playing with their love for the motorcity but always pushing the boundaries of what we like to call harbour city soul. 3 tracks ranging from beautiful deep electro to floor killing techno tracks. highly recommended!

achtes und finales album der us-amerikanischen black metal/dark ambient-legende xasthur. mit einem gastauftritt der sängerin marissa nadler! limitierte auflage mit gatefold sleeve, handnummeriert und download code.

hot release alert by our boy paul du lac who is a long time close friend of the frustrated family, colleague at the clone office and an old dj buddy of frustrated funk label boss klen (when they played the nighttown basement in the early 90s). so it s a bit of a special thing for us having him aboard. this ep shows pauls signature minimalistic approach on chicago style house. typical jacking 707s and 808s combined with minimal synth pulses. qom and access are pure jackin bliss for the floor while moodswings goes deeper with layers of warm pads and spaced out stings. the title track comes with a stripped beats version from tevo howard, for those who like to mix things up.. highly recommended!!

new label run by schermate and aimersse.org including big tracks by ness (prologue records) and obtane (zooloft records).

harbour city sorrow will showcase different sides of techno. after exploring the electro side of things we now go more towards the deeper housey side of techno. xdb (kosta athanassiadis, metrolux, sistrum) is walking on the border of various styles, creating his own unique blend of techno and house.. youll find 3 tracks of his hybrid style on here. deep sound layers and almost jackin rhythms. well crafted raw analog tracks that will appeal to the club jocks as well as the more adventurous deejay and home listener. music that is not fitting to just one main category.. just how we like it.

blackest ever black returns for 2011 with a new ep of crushing, sensuous darkwave pop from tropic of cancer follow up to the two much-loved 10inchs on downwards, >the dull age< and >be brave< tropic of cancer is the la-based duo of camella lobo and juan mendez. mendez is best known as silent servant, venerable techno producer, former cytrax boss and core member of the sandwell district collective. with lobo he makes raw, visceral music in the loose tradition of minimal synth, post-punk, industrial and goth, produced with authority and a supremely evolved grasp of spatial arrangement.
