Two of Brazil’s most promising up-and-coming producers, Antdot and Maz, have united for their mesmerizing and atmospheric new single ‘Learning To Love’, released on Tomorrowland Music!

The two rising talents have delivered a melodic yet pulsing piece, full of lush sounds and incredible vocals by the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Noah Henderson that perfectly complement the track. Making some serious noise out of Brazil, ‘Learning To Love‘ is a beautifully orchestrated listening experience to lose yourself to during late nights on the dancefloor or that just sticks with you for the rest of the day. 

‘Learning To Love‘ by Antdot & Maz is part of a collection of specially curated festival releases by Tomorrowland Music leading up to Tomorrowland Brasil, celebrating the return of Tomorrowland to Brazil on October 12-14, 2023 by gathering some of the most prominent artists in electronic music on Tomorrowland‘s record imprint.

As some of the most prominent figures within the current Afro House community, Antdot and Maz have been reaching #1 on Beatport’s Organic House and Afro House charts already three times this past year while receiving tons of support by fellow afro house aficionados Keinemusik.

Speaking about the track Antdot said: “It’s amazing to work with Maz, I always say that besides being a partner, he’s my brother! Our connection is very strong and with each release together, I feel like we become more aligned. ‘Learning To Love’ is both a result of all of this and fuel for more to come! It’s a personal achievement to release through Tomorrowland, and we’re also very excited for our show in October!”

Here’s what Maz had to say about the new release: “The production process of the track went smoothly even from a distance, Antdot and I have a great connection. It’s even more special to know that we’ll be releasing it right before our performance at Tomorrowland Brasil! We’re very excited for this gig!”

Having worked on this track for over a year, GORDO and Adriatique are unleashing their first ever collaboration ‘With You’, an electrifying track straight from the dance underground.

Hailing from Switzerland, the electronic music duo known as Adriatique have been producing and playing house and techno since 2009. Their electronic style, combined with the latin influences of GORDO has made for an incredible dance floor focused track.

‘With You’ opens up with a pulsating kick drum and baseline combination that drives things forward. A flurry of claps sounds while hi-hats and snares are slowly introduced. Before long, a distorted but emotional vocal commands your attention while powerful synth keys dance and intertwine with the words that tell you, “Don’t worry about tomorrow” at the drop and explosion of noise with layers of sound and a release of the tension that has been building up. Combining these two artists has produced one of the most powerful electronic music songs we have seen in quite a while.

‘With You‘ has already received some massive support from the likes of Tale of Us who played it at their Afterlife show in NYC recently, and Korolova in Ibiza. An undeniable endorsement and stamp of approval from titans of the industry.

As the festival season draws to a close, “With You” is poised to make a lasting impact on dance floors around the world. The track’s unique blend of melodies, rhythms, and sonic textures will captivate club-goers and DJs alike. Its infectious energy and danceability make it a perfect fit for the late-night club scene, where music enthusiasts come together to celebrate the electronic music culture.

Watergate Club in Berlin is celebrating 21 years with W21 event series

By
Marco Di
-

The Berlin based club Watergate is celebrating its 21st birthday this year from 29.09 until late December with a dedicated series of carefully curated W21 parties.

In good tradition the birthday events bring back club regulars and audience favorites like Dubfire and Joey Beltram (29.09.), Sama Abdulhadi (06.10), Recondite and 8KAYS (07.10.), Louie Vega (20.10), Carl Craig (10.11), Sven Väth (1.12.) and many more to be announced.

Here’s what the hard-working team behind Watergate had to say:

“Here is to 21 Years of Watergate !

We are experiencing quite a rollercoaster ride here in ‘Club Country.’

After the tumultuous intermission brought on by the pandemic and the subsequent healing of our deepest wounds, the cards in the city’s music scene are being reshuffled. Our Club stands strong while facing increasingly challenging circumstances.

Once the go-to place for ravers from around the globe, Berlin has seen its international prominence dwindle while clubbing is no longer a hallmark of good manners.

In many places, festivals are replacing the early musical education that clubs used to impart in weekly Sisyphean work on regular club nights. Where once DJs trained their senses for the international crowd, dropping the right record at the right moment on a weekly basis, today it is often the marketing skill set that has moved to the foreground for performing on international stages.

Clubs became stepping stones for careers that now offer the prospect of stadiums, mega-stages and fees well into 5 figures. That being said, it is a miracle that Watergate still exists and continues to secure the ‘top-flight’ status we have.

Perhaps it is the merit of a magnificent team of individuals who breathe life and love into the Club, continually expand the vision, and open our ‘living room’ to welcome dreamers, dancers, regulars and friends year after year. With that typical ‘Berlin manner, ‘ the team adapts and develops the Club’s vision and reality to current times and possibilities. Above all, we remain open-minded and unprejudiced towards the new and potentially different. With our resilient team, we navigate through turbulent waters and stormy times and, thanks to many new and old fans, continue strong onto our next journey around the sun.

Twenty-one, what a legendary age! From today on, Watergate finally is allowed to enter Watergate! With this happy anniversary, the Club became the city’s oldest permanent club venue. We have reason enough to celebrate our birthday with a few special events…
