Leejones
Lee Jones grew up in Essex, England, but can almost call himself a Berliner now, having moved there from London 8 years ago, the very same week the Watergate club opened. During the late 90's, producing and performing as Hefner, he became involved with the post-drum and bass, downbeat, lounge sound of the time, remixing the likes of 4Hero, Cinematic Orchestra and Lamb, and releasing the album Residue in 2000. As a resident at the new Plastic People club, he first tried to find a way to express his musical taste in a club environment. It was only when he moved to Germany in 2002 to be with his girlfriend, inspired by the new soundtrack he discovered during long Kreuzberg nights, that he finally traded his jazz chords for dancing shoes, and with MyMy began to explore the world of house and techno.
Together with Panorama Bar resident Nick Hoppner, they toured in a total of 27 countries and appeared on labels such as Ostgut Ton, Circus Company and Playhouse, where they released the album Songs for the Gentle in 2006. In 2010, after 5 years together, MyMy decided to go their own ways and to stop their monthly parties at Watergate where Lee had developed his skills as a DJ. He would now focus on establishing himself as a solo DJ and Producer, and one of Watergate's main residents
Having played keyboards, guitar and bass since he was young, Lee is always searching for musicality in his sound. His approach in the studio comes from his love of song writing and composition, influenced by classical music, jazz and film soundtracks. For some time his solo releases and remixes have been popping up on labels such as Aus Music, Ostgut Ton, Liebe*Detail and Cityfox, and in 2008 he released his debut LP "Electronic Frank" on Aus Music. In 2010 Lee will do his first ever mix CD for the world famous Watergate Club . The number 07 of this series will be released in mid October and he did many exclusive tracks and remixes for this mix so there will be a lot of new stuff out on vinyl ( for example a single on Watergate Records) in the next month for sure.

London's Mark Henning has risen up as one of the underground's true players - recording for a volley of acclaimed international labels. Having released his debut album on the legendary UK institute Soma Recordings in the summer of 2008 to great acclaim, he's busy DJing and touring his Live PA all over the world (from Australia to Japan, Russia to the USA). He also holds a residency at the HOME events near Frankfurt in Germany.
Mark Henning's sound sits somewhere between house and techno, with a healthy dose of groove, funk, swing, deepness and wierdness - all the required ingredients to make people freak out and bust crazy moves on the dancefloor. He has established his artist career not just through his productions - on labels such as Soma, Frankie, Clink, Cynosure, Hypercolour, Trapez, Freude am Tanzen and Einmaleins - but also through his worldwide performances (having been booked at clubs such as Fabric, Watergate, Privilege, Bar 25, The Egg, Panorama Bar, Space, The Arches and Harry Klein to name just a few).
His tracks have been licensed to recent BUGGED OUT, FABRIC and M-NUS compilations - and as well as achieving regular airplay on radio stations worldwide. He's a much respected producer in the scene and his records have been supported and played out regularly over the past few years by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Akufen, Steve Bug, Loco Dice and Richie Hawtin. As a remixer, he also keeps busy - having reworked tracks by artists such as Gaetano Parisio, Mr. G, Lee Jones, Tigerskin and Chris Fortier.
Born in 1977 to English and German parents, he has spent most of his life in England, though has never forgotten his German techno roots and has recently relocated to Berlin.
Gregorythme
Gregory Poncet, aka Gregorythme, is also part of Digitaline deep techno duo with Laurent Laps Bovey. He releases under the name of Gregorythme since 2006 on labels such as Bruchstuecke, Minibar, Sushitech, Minimood, Phictiv, Cityfox. In all releases, he has showed a taste for pure grooves and psychedelic athmospheres and has definied himself more as a song maker than a tool maker. His new duo with his friends Ariel Garcia goes a bit further in the direction of live played electronic music.
