WG 032EP
|
Ruede Hagelstein presents remixes of "Footprints feat. C.A.R." from Apophenia. Up first is The Drifter delivering an emotional ride that will most definitely be an anthem for the coming summer. Taking a different approach, yet just as engaging, Ruede reworks his original into a dark, looping psychedelic odyssey perfect for late nights or early mornings. Can Love Be Synth rounds out the remixes with a gorgeous pop-esque twist on the original choosing to focus on live instrumentation and retro synthesis resulting in a cross-over favorite. And finally a dub version of the original gem.

Double LP version. Ruede Hagelstein and Watergate go hand in hand. Not only is Hagelstein one of the longest-running residents at the club, but he's also the man behind some of the label's most acclaimed music and the curator responsible for lucky number 13 in the illustrious Watergate mix series (WG 013CD). Considering this, it seemed obvious to put him up to his next task: an album. It is with great anticipation and excitement that Watergate Records brings you the first artist album for both Hagelstein and the label itself, Apophenia. "Apophenia" is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data, and for Hagelstein, this is a perfect way to describe his writing process, in which ideas appear from the empty, chaotic darkness. A random chord progression or percussion arrangement opens the door to the imagination where structures appear and begin to take shape. Unlike most of his previous work, Apophenia is not strictly attached to the dancefloor, but created to work just as seamlessly while listening at home as in the club. For over a year, Hagelstein collected ideas and visualized his plan. It was important not to mimic his earlier work, but to focus on a certain sound. By staying minimalistic yet extremely organic and melodic he has created a timeless long-player. While the album spans a range of emotions, it is always grounded in Hagelstein's unparalleled, singular sound. Pair that with some notable features from PillowTalk, Hollis P. Monroe & Overnite, Justin Evans, Mentrix, and C.A.R., and you have a plethora of dazzling music. With "Moon Rabbit" and "Life Is a Beach" Hagelstein displays the sound of a night at the club, while "Already Undone (feat. PillowTalk)" takes a ride through the deeper, emotional spaces. In the end, Apophenia is the perfect display of not just Hagelstein's artistry, but Watergate's musical vision, which together create an illustrious and undeniable entity.

WG 023EP
|
"Soul Dynamic," from 2015's Apophenia (WGA 001CD/LP), the highly anticipated debut album for both Ruede Hagelstein and Watergate Records, is a melodic club hit ripe with canorous shimmers and a warm, rolling sub bass bolstered by crisp percussion grooves and a vocal persistently muttering "soul dynamic." The legendary Kenny Larkin, coming off his massive remix of La Fleur on her Nightflow EP (WG 013EP, 2013), lays out a long, tracky version of the original, building tension with ghostly Rhodes riffs and eerie strings. Fur Coat provide a dark, strobe-light-infused adaptation packed with huge bass stabs and spectral tones.

UY 080EP
|
Winter is almost over but Upon You decided to dip their label paint-brush deep into a pot filled with white. The painter is called Ruede Hagelstein and his work of art is simply called Minus -- a track with the charm of a winter landscape, fully accomplished, crystal-clear and warming, like an analog heater. Wearing almost nothing and cast into a snow-white plate, it will be a pleasure for all vinyl collectors. White vinyl. One-sided.

WG 011EP
|
The parrotfish is a colorful thalassian, who is as much skilled at submerging in mystical depths as Ruede Hagelstein's light-footed producer-style. The grooves on the first side feature collaborations between Hagelstein and Emerson Todd, with a remix Ian Pooley. On "Addicted,"paranoid synth-lines wind through technoid beat-patterns until they lose themselves in an orgy of white noise, vocal shreds and sirens. "Solitude" was offered for free download by Mixmag and reached 23,000 clicks within a month -- the club-version delivers a perfect ending.

The next Watergate compilation is numbered with the myth-enshrouded 13 -- a burden taken on by long-standing resident Ruede Hagelstein. The collection contains known classics and new gems. The mix starts off with a dreamy, melancholic track by Prins Thomas and develops an enormous deepness, which is masterfully broken by technoid soul-funk. Mike Dunn's Chicago-house-bomb "Phreaky MF" is mixed with the soulful Tone Of Arc anthem "Soundsail," peaking with Shlomi Aber's "Foolish Games." One of the highlights is definitely Henrik Schwarz's "Take Words in Return," remixed by Carl Craig. Ruede himself contributes two exclusive tracks -- "A.R.G.O.," a collaboration between him and Emerson Todd and "Up the River." And he couldn't have chosen a more beautiful outro than M83's "Where the Boats Go." Altogether, Ruede Hagelstein composed a fantastic and light-footed mix. Other artists include: Fabio Alampi, Alan Fitzpatrick, Don Disco, Chris Wood & Meat, Strangers In Heaven, Jonny Cruz, Amine Edge, Marco Resmann, RAD, Fischer & Kleber, The Cheapers, Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Byron Stingily, Marshall Jefferson, Salt City Orchestra, Manuel Tur, Losoul, Aartekt, Lower Dens, Steve Moore, The Drifter, The Pyramids, and James Zabiela.

UY 057EP
|
As Ruede Hagelstein played the first version of "Shades" in his last P-Bar set, slices of sunshine penetrated the smoky club air. Re.You & Rampa built a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the A2 remix. Then, on the B-side, Ruede's fellow band-members from The Noblettes make an appearance. As with "Shades," the focal point is also the big break, only this one has nothing to do with techno -- it's more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

UY 047EP

Ruede Hagelstein indulges in some self-examination for Upon You. The first track is dark and romantic and holds steady at a relaxed 120 bpm. The second track deals with some paraphrased piano-playing and the third track contributes a definitive minimal touch, sounding a bit like Peter And The Wolf at the LSD Opera. Hop, hop, off you go then, my lovelies...

SOUVENIR 034EP
|
Ruede Hagelstein's "Emergency" has been hailed as one of the best singles of the year in the reader polls of Groove, De:Bug, Resident Advisor and many more. No wonder why! Ruede Hagelstein knows how to treat an after-party stomper. "Emergency" is the perfect early morning pick, the sun shines on his bongos, the nonsense raves with his lyrics, the horns roar with delight, and a plane flies over a crowd of happy, sleepless dancers. Remixed by Super Flu and Re.You.

SOUVENIR 009EP
|
Ruede Hagelstein is a Berliner to watch out for, attracting praise from Claude Von Stroke and Laurent Garnier. The Modest EP is a slice of epic and chilling tech-house. Its opening track builds shimmering string instruments around a sonic jungle of machine noise. Ruede's remix of Dillon's "C Unseen Sea" gathers ghostly wind noises and the effects-soaked sounds of a child together with foreboding percussion. "It's On" has a 303-style bass line, raising the tension while synths and reverb-soaked percussion continue the surreal vibe.

FREUND 013EP
|
"This record has been planned for a long time and postponed almost the same time again. Yes, we're late! Freundinnen style! Ruede Hagelsteins 'Sweaty Balls' got remixed by Benjamin Theves, whose 'Texas' on Kitsuné was definitely one of the best tracks in 2005&06. Twisted melodies over twisted beats in a musical manner. Call it minimal-electro-trance-rock, this is refreshing for all those who start to get tired hearing the same beats in a club again and again and again... Learn how to dance, baby! On dry-iced heights, Berlin's DJ Kaos has his output on Freundinnen and surprises with a very well produced 'Reel To Reel' mix of 'Sweaty Balls,' stimulating all those parts of the human body that haven't lost their senses (yet). 'Open the windows, it's getting hot!' Kaos shouts, and another Panorama Bar sunday afternoon session is never ending.... FCS North are crossover artists from Seattle, and really nice chat-partners. They rock it out on the yet unreleased track 'Heaven Is On Fire,' leaving the dancefloor bouncy with sharp synth-lines over live drumming and Ruede Hagelstein's incredible soothing voice...Yes! (We're late...)"

FREUND 006EP

"Fresh new talent Ruede Hagelstein likes his music sexy and his balls sweaty. The up and coming 23-year-old DJ, producer and formerly boys choir singer from Berlin writes unique pop-tunes with rocking basslines, cool grooves and heavenly melodies, leaving enough space for dancing, chilling or just fuck, fuck, fuck... Your hairy asses and milky tits will enjoy this ride if you open up to it. Trevor Jackson of Output recordings fame says: 'sweaty balls is a sick, sick track'... he's right, as usual."
