watergate in the mix

Watergate, a very famous techno club in Berlin, is going to start a mix series similar to what fabric has with their fabric and fabriclive mix cd's put out monthly by their residents (for more on fabric check out this post). Watergate is another one of those clubs that I've always heard about, but never been, and although I've never been there, I would have to say that with their decor and the DJ's they get to play there, it is a club I am almost guaranteed to love. I've seen pictures of it posted on M.A.N.D.Y.'s myspace page (that picture on the left) and in Modeselektor's "Black Box" video, and although I had no idea where it was, I fell in love with the lights that run along the top of the club and tight atmosphere (it's also pretty cool how the DJ booth is audience level and so close to all the clubbers, plus, it's actually on the water...) and had to find out what club that was. It was also recently named the 10th best club in the world in DJ Magazine. They got Onur Ozer to mix the first installment of their mix series, and although I've never heard of him, I am defiantly looking forward to some sweet shit, the same way I'll listen to a fabriclive mix even if I have never heard of the DJ.
