[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

The first taster from Hyenah's anticipated Watergate 27 
compilation has landed. The enigmatic DJ/producer has 
established himself as one of the most exciting newer acts 
associated with Watergate, releasing on the club's home label, 
Freerange and Objektivity in recent years. He's also most 
notably spearheaded the RISE monthly club night and associated 
Rise Music imprint, as a passionate proponent of the Afro house 
scene in Berlin, while building an ever-growing fanbase off the 
back of his lauded Boiler Room last summer. His contribution to 
the storied Watergate mix series is certainly richly deserved. 
'The Message' EP exhibits Hyenah's irresistibly warm and groovy 
sound across a collection of impressions. The title track 
features former Bonobo collaborator Bajka on vocals and is a 
composition brimming with soul that espouses a message of 
empowerment, underpinned by hip-swaying percussion and uplifting 
synth stabs. Henrik Schwarz delivers a pair of classy remixes. 
The first, re-focuses the track's energy around a funky 
undulating synthline that
builds towards an intriguing finish. The Dub version may 
have stripped out the vocal, but in trademark Schwarz style, the 
remaining instrumental is high soaring musical drama. Hyenah 
links with fellow RISE founder Floyd Lavine for 'Soul Rise', a 
superb Afro groover that's intricate and colourful in equal 
doses and a timely reminder of why there's so much excitement 
surrounding the talented pair. 'Warm Drum' is simple, yet 
extremely effective, as a catchy key pattern loops with 
intensity before punchy bass drops into focus and brings the 
party. Hyenah close out the EP alongside vocalist Lazarusman 
with 'Not Enough', a hymn to anti-racism, that's not only vital 
in its message, but stirring with its musical impact.
