Swedish DJ and producer Julia Sandstorm joins Watergate Records with 'U Got', following a strong run of releases including her recent outing on Diynamic.\n\nThe original is a straight-up house track with an old-school rave feel, built around sharp stabs, a driving groove and a vocal hook that stays front and centre. There is a clear nod to classic club records in there, but the production keeps it firmly in the present.\n\nMeca delivers two different versions. The 'Deep Remix' pulls things further into house territory, giving the groove more space and taking some of the urgency out of the original. \n\nHis 'Trippy Remix' goes the other way, picking up on its more psychedelic details and stretching them into a looser, more off-centre take.\n\nTogether, the three versions give 'U Got' a wide club range, from the direct rave energy of Sandstorm's original to Meca's deeper and more tripped-out interpretations.

Watergate Records celebrates 10 years of its quality-obsessed imprint with a special 50 track anthology of the team's favourite records. Over the last decade, the imprint has set the gold standard for captivating electronic music from across the house and techno spectrum, successfully mirroring the club's on-point booking policy. It's not a case of who's played at the Berlin's institution, but rather who hasn't, and the label arm follows suit, gifting the scene some of its most memorable cuts since its inception in 2008. There are seven sumptuous works from resident Matthias Meyer, led by 'Hope' and 'Love Letters from Sicily', his collaborations with Ryan Davis, while a timeless Sasha gem 'Trigonometry' takes us back to the Welshman's glorious contribution in 2017. Watergate favourites Adana Twins deliver four shimmering tracks highlighted by their rework of Patrice Bäumel's 'Roar' and 'Relentless' with WhomadeWho's Jeppe Kjellberg. Henrik Schwarz's time-honoured classic 'Take Words in Return' appears on the compilation three times, with the original rubbing shoulders with reworks from Jimi Jules and C2. Carl Craig's famous moniker features again with his stunning remix of La Fleur's 'Arms Around', while Kenny Larkin's remix of the Swede's 'Nightflow' is an unmissable inclusion. King Kerri Chandler, one of house music's most enduring icons, brings heat with 'Mama' feat. Jerome Sydenham and 'Checkmate', while 'Amanacer', Solomun's beguiling track from 2017 makes an essential addition. Elsewhere the likes of Tiefschwarz, Maceo Plex, Butch, Ellen Allien, Pan-Pot & Slam, Marco Resmann, Mathias Kaden, Fur Coat, Ruede Hagelstein, Catz 'N Dogz and more feature on the compilation, reinforcing the breadth of artist and sound that find a home on Watergate Records.

Gassan, Rvckhimov and Hype Glow release the 'Stay Close' EP on Watergate Records, bringing together three club tracks across Melodic and Afro House. The title track 'Stay Close' is the more expansive cut of the EP, pairing a driving Melodic House groove with widescreen synths and a cinematic feel. It is built for the bigger room, while keeping the arrangement relatively controlled rather than leaning too heavily into obvious peaks. 'You Know Me' moves into Afro House territory and brings Tea J into the collaboration. More restrained in its approach, the track works around a steady groove and understated melodic elements, giving it a more direct, late-night club feel. Closing track 'Push It' features Lamedy and sits somewhere between the two sides of the EP. Percussion takes a stronger role here, alongside a distinctive flute line that gives the track its main character, while the production combines the melodic scale of 'Stay Close' with the more rhythmic approach of 'You Know Me'.

Watergate Records continues its 2025 journey with Excursions Pt. 2, the 2nd chapter in Biesmans new series. Once again he delivers a two-track EP that pushes his signature blend of emotion and energy to new heights. Leading the charge is I Want A Feeling, a deep and groovy indie dance cut featuring the legendary Robert Owens. With Owens soulful vocals riding atop Biesmans shimmering synths, this track is a masterclass in euphoric dancefloor storytelling. On the flip side, Sexy Planet shifts gears into high-energy mode, embracing the hypnotic pulse of trance with a modern twist. Fast-paced and full of urgency, this track is a cosmic trip through time and space. With Excursions Pt. 2, Biesmans once again proves his ability to craft timeless yet forward-thinking club music, ensuring that 2025 stays in motion.

Tim Engelhardt brings his unmistakable melodic touch to Pole Position's 'In Your Mind' featuring Steven Jones. Tim Engelhardt continues a strong run with a remix that draws on the drama of the original and gives it his own unmistakable feel. His take on 'In Your Mind' is soulful and expansive, with the scale for bigger stages and a warmth that keeps it close. Steven Jones' vocal remains at the heart of the track, carrying its emotional pull as Engelhardt builds the melodic arrangement around it. There's a patient sense of progression here, giving the tension time to develop and the melodies room to open up. The remix is accompanied by the original version, first released on last year's 'Watergate IDs 001' compilation.
