Matthias Meyer and a trio label of debutants make up the fourth instalment of the much-loved Watergate Affairs series. Initiated in 2016, the series assembles a collection of top-quality tracks that otherwise could not fit into Watergates busy release schedule, such is the strong pool of music the label draws from. Emerging Dutch producer Budakid joins the label with Orrery, after previously making an impact with cuts on Last Night On Earth, Einmusika and Lost & Found. The tracks dreamy soundscapes and otherworldly energy make for a transcendental mood maker. Matthias Meyer is suitably superb with Interlude, as delicate strings and a muffled melody line gently wash against a shore of sparse beats. Henri Bergmann & Julian Wassermann link for Maenad, as punchy grooves bring the EP into peak-time territory as a multilayered chord pattern hits with a satisfying headrush. Danish artist Nandu rounds out the package with My Misery Is a Mystery. Its the kind of succulent end-of-nighter every set needs as uplifting pads, stirring keys and a buttery bassline glide together in sweet unison.
