watergate affairs is a brand new offering featuring residents, regulars and affiliated artists that have developed close ties to the club through the years. over the course of four tracks, jimi jules, lee jones, la fleur and david mayer & sebastian voigt perfectly display the sound of watergate. diving right in is jimi jules and he hasnt let lost a step, picking up where he left off with his stellar bogota ep earlier this year by churning out a burner. 6% is rooted in a heaving low end groove while hypnotic tones spiral around a modulating lead that never lands in the same place, ensuring a twisted dance floor venture.

brilliant melodic bassheavy killer ! , incl matthias meyer (cecille) & daria (lomidhigh) remixes

whether on his own or with nick hoppner as my my lee jones has been djing and making music for more than a decade. in 2008 jones released his debut full-length lp “electronic frank” on aus music. his solo releases and remixes have appeared on labels such as aus music, ostgut ton, liebe*detail and cityfox and last year, he did his first ever mix cd for the world famous watergate club. next up from the talented producer is a futuristic 4-tracker on aus, incl 2 remixes from george fitzgerald and midland. for the lead track moment, jones offers up a bass driven house number that hints at his jazz roots whilst pushing forward into garage territory. for the remix, george fitzgerald delivers his most straight up, heads down house production to date. next up is duvel, a characteristically quirky jones production, bouncy and deep all at once but with a bass line that will hold its own at peak time. midland steps up for the remix, twisting it into a moody multi-genre convergence like only he can.

after the brilliant work with tigerlily on the digitaline track >say so<, gregorythme teamed up again with the lovely singer and created another epic masterpiece. >no time no space< has the potencial to become one of this years big anthems, with tigerlilys great voice, the catchy melody and the unbelievable synthline staying in your head for a long time! kalabrese and lee jones both kept the epic feeling of the original. kalabrese added his unique funk and kind of a caribic touch to it. imagine a lonely beach with nothing else to do as watching the stars out there. lee reworked tigerlilys voice, combined it with a massive bass and takes it a step darker into the night, made for dancefloors and big soundsystems!

komonazmuk drops a tough slice of deep, stepping, and melodic dubstep for our 11th release… with his history in rave culture stretching back to the oldskool days, through releases on hardleaders & moving shadow with ice minus, right up to his current cutting edge productions, keiran lomax aka komonazmuk has got his fingers in many musical pies. having had big releases on scene-leaders like tempa, and his debut album coming on h.e.n.c.h. later this year, his versatility as a producer and engineer is second to none.

resident nick höppner returns with his third release for ostgut ton. after last years >makeover< come three new detailed excursions, plus a remix by lee jones. almost entirely constructed from field recordings taken within the walls of berghain, >brush me down< is a raw and textural jam, uncontrived and jostling with energy. jittery, shuffling and shaking, höppners love for funky, off-kilter percussion shines through as he pieces together a mysterious audio puzzle of found atmospherics, club nights and concerts otherwise committed only to memory yet now preserved and recycled. it also is a hint at what is to be expected from ostgut tons 5 years anniversary compilation this autumn.

minz aka michel sanchez-infante, is a dj, producer and live performer from the netherlands. after producing for a few years, his productions caught the attention of ripperton in may 2007. ripperton released minz debut >un/mute ep< and the follow-up >jade ep< on his perspectiv label. both were well received and followed by a string of remixes on labels like connaisseur, suruba and 2pin, and compilation tracks for meerestief and perspectiv. after taking some time out to work on his sound, minz is getting back up to speed with releases for suruba x and now for ransom note. his style is slowly shifting to a more housey and organic sound, while keeping the deepness, thoughtful composition and meticulous attention to detail. tracks like ganzfeld demonstrate how minz has the ability to create outstanding productions that grow slowly on you before knocking you off your feet. on remix duties is the illustrious lee jones. hot off his brilliant ep on cityfox, lee blesses ransom note with his indelible take on electronic music. as deep as it gets and with a powerful exploration of the original, lees remix of ganzfeld is stunning journey sure to set off the after party in all of us.

aria is a striped back but purring with refined detail and melody. lees classic delicate and distinctive groove rich with percussive fills is present and correct. beautiful strings combine with an embellished swirling pad to create a lush palette of melody that will remain firmly lodged in your brain. with the tiger stripes remix, its as if lees original has been injected with growth hormones. the melody is intact and the vibe remains, albeit bigger, tougher and firmly peak time.

with this release the spring buds sprout on upon you. lee jones, member of mymy and daniel dreier have delivered two great early blossoms which- like we have expected, holds no house-spuds under the ground. inspired by the facet richness of the sounds in >a man< on a1, marco resmann went on to plant his special note of funkyness on b1

aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with the oehug the scary ep, a collaboration between luminaries will saul and lee jones. will saul is best known as the head of simple records, up for nomination as best british label in dj magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental aus imprint on which this ep is released. in his career to date he has released numerous singles on simple, the critically acclaimed space between album and has recently produced an ep for the german label systematic. englishman in berlin lee jones has to date released acclaimed singles on liebe detail, aus and his own label, just rec. formerly releasing under the moniker hefner , he is also a main creative force behind playhouse my my, whose oesongs for the gentle album won plaudits worldwide in 2006. opener oehug the scary is a transcendental journey. trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. on the flip side, partial arts (the duo of ewan pearson and al usher) give their own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. stormy fuzz and bubble bath accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal melody. a sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a saturated melodic climax.

beautiful and hypnotic melodic deep tech house groover, incl prins thomas rmx... played by anja schneider, kiki, karotte, laurent garnier, shinedoe, trevor jackson, jimpster, ralph lawson and many more !!! great work

kinder country is the theme to a summer that never happened. its warm texture and subtle funkiness provide a soundtrack for warm mornings and long lazy days subdued by a melancholic cloud that dampens the brightness. matt johns vollbart remix accentuates that mood, by stripping down the elements and locking them down over his own, unique groove..

lee jones lived in london until 2002, where he was producing and remixing as the successful downtempo/ nu-jazz artist hefner. after following his heart to berlin, he was inspired by the music and clubs to move into a new production style over the past 6 years. most recently hes become known as the main creative force behind mymy, whose debut album Ôsongs for the gentle on playhouse made waves across the globe. since 2007 hes released his beautiful solo works on aus music and just, whilst also collaborating with berlin local hero daniel dreier on releases for upon you and releasing new mymy material on berlins illustrious ostgut ton imprint. having recently returned from the us and japan performing live dates with nick hšppner as mymy, he also has a busy djing schedule around europe and continues to promote the popular monthly clubnight at watergate Ômymy and friends
