For the 38th issue of the Moon Harbour Radio Show Dan Drastic invited Sven Tasnadi. Dan and Sven recently released their first collobaration, the “Panic Room EP” on Moon Harbour. But Sven Tasnadi is in the studio to talkabout his first full length album “SLOW”, which is a journey through his ambient and electronica influences. His exclusive DJ Mix for this issue features his rather clubby side.

Having become a member of the Moon Harbour agency and label family recently, Germany’s mysterious Sable Sheep is back with a new four track EP that continues to explore his trademark tribal tinged tech house sound with great panache. Sable Sheep is no stranger to success given the widespread deployment of his previous tracks like ‘Painting My Fur’, and that’s a good job, because all of his latest missives are sure-fire dancefloor dynamite.

Issue 37 of the Mooon Harbour Radio Show is all about Ekkohaus. His long awaited album debut “Noschool” was just released on Moon Harbour. In 13 tracks (released on Vinyl, CD and Digital) the Greek explores his signature sound – warm 4/4 beats, involving bass and cute sampling, which leans on a whole lifetime influence from jazz to funk, hip hop to dub to disco. Though offering plenty of dance floor dynamite along the way, “Noschool” also stands up to home listening or Sunday driving sessions.

In the interview with Moon Harbour Radio host Dan Drastic, Ekkohaus talks about the demanding and exhausting producing process of the album and how he combined Oldschool and Newschool production techniques to create the sound of “Noschool”.

Built on punchy kicks and a pulsating bass line, "Hi-Fi" is peppered with chopper effects, stand out vocals and rising synths that combine to cause maximum dance floor destruction. Federico Molinari provides an intelligent remix which instantly pulls the listener in with it’s hurdling bass line and FX. Accelerated congas layer the mix and the vocals are processed through big ambient delays to great effect.

Re.You (Souvenir)
I love Moon Harbour, another great release.

Having become a member of the Moon Harbour agency and label family recently, Germany's mysterious Sable Sheep is back with a new four track EP that continues to explore his trademark tribal tinged tech house sound with great panache.  Sable Sheep is no stranger to success given the widespread deployment of his previous tracks like 'Painting My Fur', and that's a good job, because all of his latest missives are sure-fire dancefloor dynamite.

Upon Burning Skies is the opening track, and one that builds and builds in tension to an invisible peak that will have ravers on the edge of their feet as the tribal male chanting acts like a call to action above bouncing, buoyant kick drums and slick percussive details.  A dub version is also included in the package.

Torn To Pieces is another full-blooded groove that will lock you in from the very first rubbery kick and silvery hi hat ringlet. As they roll on next to each other without any friction at all, a knotted bassline and deft little synth stabs add some detail as a warm wind seems to howl in the background. Its stripped back but fills the airwaves and is the sort of physical track its impossible not to get carried away by.

Finally, Thy Suffer is another warm concoction of sound that Sable Sheep fills with rattling drum hits and sandy shakers. Some twitching alien sounds suggest the presence of life amongst the machines and the deep looping kicks help draw you in.

An EP produced with great precision restraint, Sable Sheep knows just how much to add into the without over doing things or allowing things to get stuck in a rut -- it's a perfect balancing act that is designed for maximum impact on the dancefloor.

Greek born Kostas Tassopoulos aka Ekkohaus has readied his debut album for Moon Harbour. Entitled “Noschool”, it is the culmination of a close relationship between the Berlin based artist and the music label Moon Harbour Recordings from Leipzig. It dates back to 2008 and has seen Ekkohaus explore his trademark and very modern take on rich house over a number of regular releases at the sister label Cargo Edition.

It was in the mid-nineties that Ekkohaus first started making music, but not until 2005 that he unleashed his debut release. Since then he has worked with labels like 2020Vision, Tsuba and Mule and has taken his live show to lauded clubs like fabric (London), Watergate (Berlin), Space (Ibiza) and many more. His debut album is a collection of new material from 2010 to 2012 and is titled as an anti-statement to the tiring old school / new school debates that rule the electronic community.

“”Noschool” is about bridging the space in between the two well respected schools”, he says. “For this project, I have used all possible means of production: analogue drum machines alongside with VST plug-ins, modular synths with Audio Units, original recordings as well as sample libraries. From the basslines to the sax lines, from the Rhodes phrases to the house beat, I hope there is something in there for everyone.”

The resulting 13 track album is one that explores the Greek’s signature sound – warm 4/4 beats, involving bass and cute sampling – but also leans on a whole lifetime of influence from jazz to funk, hip hop to dub to disco. Though offering plenty of dance floor dynamite along the way, “Noschool” also stands up to home listening or Sunday driving sessions.

The album features a number of exciting collaborations including Robert Würz on saxophone (“A Drive”, “D58” and “Mark Ma Words”), Jon J-Lab playing bass on “Reparations” and Lady Blacktronika singing on “Chasing Brown”. As well as this, field recordings from Barcelona, Athens and Istanbul add an organic and real world element to the album from start to finish.

From the romantic jazz-house vibes of the opener “A Drive” to more propulsive but equally deep house cuts like “Reparations” each track tells a story. Cuts like “Keep Your Eyes On Me” are loose and freeform, vintage sounding yet forward facing, where “Buzzin Fly” works on both your head and heel with its contrasting textures and lush melodies.

Additionally to the album itself, coming on CD and as digital download, there will be an "Ekkohaus - Noschool" vinyl sampler released, with “Touch House”, “Reparations”, “Just Click” and “Rendezvous” all included.

Übergroovy Andrea Oliva remix!! Really cool!

Just a couple of months after his last outing on the label, esteemed German techno producer Philip Bader returns to Moon Harbour with another two tracks of cultured dancefloor dynamite complete with a remix from Andrea Oliva.

The title track, Crazy, is the sort of thing to slowly work a crowd into a hypnotic state with its reductive brew of sparse drum hits, moody basslines and chilly hi hats. A minute or so in and the thing drops proper with a sing along vocal sample that has plenty of anthem potential as it weaves its way around the wavy groove and rubbery bass. Catchy but classy, it’s sure to be big this summer.

Swissman Andrea Oliva – who has worked with labels like Cadenza, Hive and Be As One in the past – goes for a more liquid and loopy interpretation that ebbs and flows up and down as percussion rolls off the top. The vocal is gone and instead subtle FX and sonic details pepper the groove to keep you locked in place from start to finish.

Finally it’s back to Bader for another original, Loose Talk, which bristles and boils with textured percussion and buried deep bass jostling around each other in a way that makes you want to shake your body in similarly loose fashion. Plenty of deft production touches from rising bell sounds to sandy shakers and another filtered vocal flesh out the backbone of the track and make it all the more infectious as a result.

Fun and functional, this is party starting tech house that knows how to work a dancefloor.

Love I Don't Think So and Are You Ready!! Both tracks are great, as great as both homies.

Monika Kruse (Terminal M)
Another great release of one of the best labels! Full support!

The influential German duo of Marco Resmann and Norman Weber return to their most frequent home for a new EP of typically floor facing house music, complete with a devastating remix from label head Matthias Tanzmann. Luna City Express sure do know how to rock a party, and they have done for almost the last decade at the finest underground establishments around the world.

First track here, Magic Bazar, is a no nonsense bomb from the off. Rooted in a dirty groove it bounces tautly until an obscured male voice sets everything on fire. It's impossible not to imagine heads bobbing in unison to this one.

Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann's remix is a much more riotous affair, with rough edged percussion, angry claps and snares and a trippy melody all bristling around each: crowds will be in a controlled frenzy, for sure.

There's a touch of garage-y Kerri Chandler percussion to Are You Ready, which ducks and dives on a thick bassline, full of futuristic robot energy. It's functional yet fun, and so is the lush last track I Don't Think So. Full of warm, bright synths, old school broken beat energy and a hip hop looseness, it's full of joy and puts a lot of stale modern house music to shame.

This is the latest chapter in a long relationship between Moon Harbour and Luna City Express and it's one that provides discerning DJs with plenty of firepower.

Anthony Collins (Curle)
Super good EP. Good job guys.

Sable Sheep (Be As One, Moon Harbour)
Wow. Can't decide which one to choose. All amazing!

ONNO (Moon Harbour)
Both versions of Snip are very dope!!

The next Moon Harbour release comes from the label’s radio show host Dan Drastic in conjunction with Smallville and Cargo edition alumni Sven Tasnadi. The pair met up last summer and fall to record the three originals that make up the EP, and the results are deep and dubby house music that comes complete with a remix from Dutchman and Soweso & We Dig associate, Kabale Und Liebe.

“Snip” opens the EP with a lazy and lo slung groove that ebbs to and fro as squelchy machines noises are smeared over the face. An undecipherable vocal lurks in the shadows and the dusty percussion adds enough bite to drive things along without ever breaking out of a deep-set rhythm. Building to a peak, the beats stand taller as things progress and a circling female coo adds some restrained euphoric notes as those machines continue to gurgle throughout. In Kabale Und Liebe’s hands the same track is much more kinetic and up tempo, with pinging kicks and stabbed chords darting about from start to finish.

Next up, “Downstairs” is again propped up on a warm and pillow-y bed of dubby beats and soft edged, frayed percussion. It’s a humid groove that begins to get loose from the mid-point when a meandering bassline rolls up and down through the mix as silvery hi hats slice up the groove to bring some height to proceedings. It’s funky, cheeky house perfect for the early – or super late – hours of any basement party.

Finally, “Wrong Answer” stands most up right of them all; with big, firm kicks skipping along below some organic and romantic melody work in the style of the aforementioned Hamburg label Smallville. Cuddly yet purposeful, this is heartfelt house music and no mistake.

I already loved Sable Sheep’s EP on Be As One. Also this one is killer!

Luca Bacchetti (Ovum)
Great tracks! Sable Sheep is on fire!

German producer Sable Sheep has so far layered up his propulsive drums on two releases for Be As One, but here makes his debut on Moon Harbour with a new four track EP that certainly lives up to its name.

The EP kicks off with “Hell Is Empty” which is a deep, shuffling track that marries an undulating bassline to bubbly finger clicks and feathery light, almost dusty hi hats with the resultant effect one of seductive hypnosis as it subtly breakdown before beginning its march once again.

“Myrrh And Blood” is more upright, with larger kick drums driving the thing along. Again the hi hats are airy and light, giving the groove plenty of character and adding to its bounce, with a precise bassline weaving its way through the whole track start to finish as the snares grow choppy and a spoken word monologue adds an element of human foreboding.

The title track shows a lighter side with a jazzy melody darting about over kicks and hats that come together in a funky but heavyweight union, whilst closer “All The Devils Are Here” returns to the shadows, lurking with intent. The bassline is rubbery, the claps sound deliciously hollow and the bouncing groove is pure and unadulterated; one that will have heads going down and arms going up.

Sable Sheep is a master of efficiency who can craft infectious and devastating grooves from only the simplest of elements: it’s the way he designs them, though, that really makes him standout.

Meat (Freebase)
Almost 5 stars! Great tunes!

Germany’s Philip Bader is a well-travelled techno producer with releases on esteemed labels like Highgrade, Saved, and now Moon Harbour. Here he serves up three brand new deep cuts that get backed with a remix from the boss himself, Matthias Tanzmann.

The opening track “Super Bell” is produced alongside Marius Maier, better known simply as Re.You, and over the course of 7 minutes lowers you into an ever silkier groove with fluttering snares and dusty hi hats softening the edges of the beats. Colourful xylophone like melodies rain down between a dark, heavily treated voice but the rolling up-down undulation of the bass never ceases.

For his remix, Matthias Tanzmann injects more percussive energy, with snares and rolls panning left and right to bring even more movement to the groove. The melodic blobs are removed yet the voices remain; it’s a deft retouch that cannot fail to sweep you up.

“Rabbit Noise” has more buffed metallic percussion and real sound snares scattered over a plump kick drum that pumps away invitingly as eerie melodies unfold up top. They snake and weave, pulling you in this direction then that until eventually claps join the mix and add extra bite to the beats. The icing on the cake is the breakout of a female wail toward the end, something that really makes the trip peak just when you need it to.

“Way to Mexico” is the least shadowy and sulky of the lot, rubbery kicks roll beneath a cloud of voices, yelps and yeahs and feathery percussion litters the airwaves. They make for an outdoor, carnival-sounding track that has your thoughts turning to the summer and some outdoor terrace in mid afternoon. These tracks are subtle and slow to unfold, the results, though, are never anything less than hypnotic.

Ekkohaus (Cargo Edition)
Sounding good, Hoffman’s Potion is great. 

The next release on Matthias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour will be a first appearance on the label for Steve Lawler with only his second EP of the year. The VIVa Music boss has long been a cornerstone of the underground tech house scene, not only with his own raw productions, but so too because of the talent he nurtures at the label, and the parties he headlines and hosts around the world from Ministry of Sound to Sankeys Ibiza. 

The first track is ‘Silk Roads’, a purposeful house track that shows Lawler’s knack for crafting slightly tribal, always engaging grooves with rolling sub bass holding it all together. The production is meticulous, with plenty of contrasting surfaces rubbing against each other, folding in over and over and taking you with them each time. There’s as much for the head as the heel though, with a loft melody floating up top to finish off a classy bit of work.

‘Hoffman’s Potion’ doesn’t mess about and immediately settles into another of Lawler’s trademark grooves. Precision cut claps and hi hats bring height to the low down kicks, whilst muted but slightly ravey stabs add a mischievous edge to the track. Just as you get settled, the final third comes alive again with another lingering melody: it’s a simple yet effective touch that will bring reactions from the floor and keep people locked right until the end.

Refreshingly modern and typically well designed from someone with Lawler’s credentials, Moon Harbour have secured something a rare but deserved outing from the VIVA boss.

Enzo Siragusa (Fuse London)
Some absolute classics here that have never left my record box!

Ray Okpara (Mobilee)
Rockin!!! 

Matthias Tanzmann’s rich back catalogue of remixes are to be collected together on a new compilation for his own Moon Harbour label, to be entitled Remixes 2002 - 2012. All together they tell the volutionary tale of a much-respected producer over the last decade.

The collection kicks off with Marlow - “Movin” (Matthias Tanzmann
Remix), a track that proved to be something of a breakthrough remix and enduring summer hit after 2006’s Sonar Festival. Deep and subliminal, like many of Matthias’ tracks, it works its way under your skin and has you dancing form the inside out.

From there, the Circoloco / DC10 Ibiza regular turns his hand to Luna City Express’s “Rough Neck” featuring trademark shimmering percussion and liquid grooves. It was Steve Bug’s Poker Flat who came calling for a remix of Clé’s classic minimal cut, “Nomads” and Morris Audio were treated to a stripped back and haunted re-interpretation of Dash Dude’s “Apply To People”.

The compilation continiues with a tribal, buffed metallic re-imagining of Booka Shade’s melodic pop house sound on “Sweet Lies” before the choppy tech house vibes and languid grooves of Michael Melchner - Four To The Floor (Matthias Tanzmann Remix) sums up everything that is great about the German’s sound.

In 2010 Matthias Tanzmann's remix for “Photone” was actually a reinterpretation of his own project Gamat 3000’s track that was released on the very first Moon Harbour vinyl in 2000. The track is a quick paced but mysterious groove imbued with tropical drums and curious bird sounds that is impossible not to dance to once the diving, subby bassline kicks in.

Closing with a more deeper and subtly seductive cut, Freestyle Man’s “Gotta Need” (Matthias Tanzmann Remix) from ten years ago, this compilation shows Matthias Tanzmann to have his own sonic fingerprint and the skills to melt it to a variety of different situations. DJ, producer, label boss and remixer… he has it all!

Guido Schneider is always super dope! Hanna is my fav here!

Following a few remixes, as well as “Luna” - an original contribution to the Moon Harbour In House Vol.4 compilation earlier this year - veteran techno producer Guido Schneider steps up for a first full EP on the label. One of the tracks sees him team up with old friend Florian Schirmacher, with whom Guido produced as Glowing Glisses, a much loved minimal and tech project who had many great releases on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat over a decade ago.

“In The Toilet” - alongside Schirmacher - opens the EP with a devilishly detailed sound design: panning FX, echoing claps and plenty of different metallic sounds fill the airwaves as hidden little synth lines grow louder and louder with time. When the wavy, dubby groove is fully formed, a soulful male vocal stops things being overly synthetic and keeps you locked in place until right at the end. The same track gets a remix by Highgrade’s Philip Bader, who turns it into a choppier, more anxious and loopy tech house cut full of glassy shards and dramatic cymbals.

“Hanna” features more abstract digital sounds, scrapings and clicks, but this time a heavy, flabby kick drum underpins them all and a cheeky sense of funk rises throughout as the micro sounds continue to dot out complex rhythms around an airy vocal hook.
Finally, “Lost” has drunken synths rising up and down, subliminal sub belches and alien wires all wrapped around each other. It’s clean and airy, yet tight and kinetic, almost sounding mathematical in precision. There’s a touch of melancholy hiding between the buffed metal surfaces, too.

Schneider has always had a polished and meticulous sound, programmed to perfection and designed to make you dance. This EP deals in many of the same qualities, and suggests he is as full of ideas as ever.

I really like the hypnotic groove of "Love Baby" and the deepness of "Dreams". Will play these two. Thanks!

Next up on Moon Harbour digital is a four tack EP from close label associates Zohki & Roozlee. The pair first got to know label boss Matthias Tanzmann when driving him to a festival in Holland. Since then they have become good friends with the label, and now offer up their first release for Moon Harbour in great style.

This new EP is no different, and sees two tracks in collaboration with Agent!, Vito & Danito. One of those is the opener, "Work It (On & On)" - already proving to be a big hit with those who have played it, it’s something of a tough and techy track stuffed with crowd noises and atmosphere, whilst the other is "Love Baby". This collaboration has sharp, choppy percussion sounds cutting through deep drums and basslines and snatched vocals which can’t quite be made out but which add a human aspect to the track for maximum impact.

The other two tracks from Zohki & Roozlee hit a little harder: "My Swag" is bumpy, too, rising up and down on well-defined hi-hats as wavy tones weave their way through the arrangement from start to finish. The sounds are crisp and precise without sounding overly synthetic and will surely work any decent dancefloor into a real sweat.

Finally, "Dreams" again treads a thin line between deep house and tech house, with rueful synths hiding in between dense percussion and sliding drums.

One Way Out is an EP that marks out Zohki & Roozlee as a pair very much with their own sound, and one that Matthias Tanzmann was right to pick up on.

Three years have passed since the last Moon Harbour Inhouse Compilation came out. Now “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol.4” is on its way. In accordance with the tried and tested concept, this release also showcases the work of current Moon Harbour artists. In addition to exclusive tracks by Matthias Tanzmann, Luna City Express, Dan Drastic, Ekkohaus, Martinez, Italoboyz, Andy Catana and Blind Minded, special guests like Reboot, Guido Schneider, Boris Werner and tINI & Marc Antona are also represented on this compilation. The list of artists clearly demonstrates that Moon Harbour has developed into a label with international scope and appeal. This sampler was compiled and mixed by Dan Drastic, who has been part of Moon Harbour’s artist roster for more than seven years and recently released his “Noodle Stories EP” on our label. He regularly hosts the Moon Harbour Nights at the Leipzig club Distillery and is one of the most active Moon Harbour deejays, together with Matthias Tanzmann and Luna City Express.

The musical styles on “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol. 4” range from the deep house of Luna City Express and Ekkohaus to the reduced groovy tech house á la tINI & Marc Antona, Andy Catana and Boris Werner and the floor fillers by Reboot and Dan Drastic. In this sense the selection of tracks mirrors the current breadth of styles represented by the label in its 12th year.

Since the third Inhouse Compilation, a lot has happened at Moon Harbour. In addition to the releases of the albums “Hello From Planet Earth” by Luna City Express (2009) and “Paradigm Shift” by Martinez (2010), the tenth anniversary of the label was celebrated with gusto in 2010 complete with the compilation and club tour, “Ten Years Of Moon Harbour”. The year 2010 also marked the birth of the monthly Moon Harbour Radio Show. Luna City Express and Dan Drastic have been taking turns producing this show, which has already had more than 25 editions.

The year 2011 marked another special occasion: our sister label Cargo Edition celebrated its fifth anniversary with the compilation “Five Years Of Cargo Edition”. In the summer of 2011, Moon Harbour released the compilation CD “Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza - The Next Level”, mixed by Matthias Tanzmann and Davide Squillace. This year started off with yet another important step: the launch of Moon Harbour Digital. So far this new digital platform has seen releases by Arado & Marco Faraone, ONNO and Nil By Mouth.

To celebrate the release of “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol.4”, there will be numerous record release showcases.

Chris Lattner (Moon Harbour)
Very cool EP. I really like Matthias’ track. But also Andy Catana’s Zebroid or Guido Schneider’s Luna. Ekkohaus also did a fantastic job! Can’t decide which one is the best.

Robert Dietz (Cadenza)
Nice collection of deep and pumping tunes here.

Kabale Und Liebe (Soweso)
Dope selection. Guido Schneider brings he ruckus.

Lauhaus (Soweso)
Dope compilation.

Audiofly (Supernature)
All great tracks here, but the clear winner in my opinion is Guido Schneider’s Luna. Amazing!

Luca Bacchetti (Ovum)
Moon Harbour is on fire! Summer bombs.

Hector (Phonica)
Great compilation.

Three years have passed since the last Moon Harbour Inhouse Compilation came out. Now “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol.4” is on its way. In accordance with the tried and tested concept, this release also showcases the work of current Moon Harbour artists. In addition to exclusive tracks by Matthias Tanzmann, Luna City Express, Dan Drastic, Ekkohaus, Martinez, Italoboyz, Andy Catana and Blind Minded, special guests like Reboot, Guido Schneider, Boris Werner and tINI & Marc Antona are also represented on this compilation. The list of artists clearly demonstrates that Moon Harbour has developed into a label with international scope and appeal. This sampler was compiled and mixed by Dan Drastic, who has been part of Moon Harbour’s artist roster for more than seven years and recently released his “Noodle Stories EP” on our label. He regularly hosts the Moon Harbour Nights at the Leipzig club Distillery and is one of the most active Moon Harbour deejays, together with Matthias Tanzmann and Luna City Express.

The musical styles on “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol. 4” range from the deep house of Luna City Express and Ekkohaus to the reduced groovy tech house á la tINI & Marc Antona, Andy Catana and Boris Werner and the floor fillers by Reboot and Dan Drastic. In this sense the selection of tracks mirrors the current breadth of styles represented by the label in its 12th year.

Since the third Inhouse Compilation, a lot has happened at Moon Harbour. In addition to the releases of the albums “Hello From Planet Earth” by Luna City Express (2009) and “Paradigm Shift” by Martinez (2010), the tenth anniversary of the label was celebrated with gusto in 2010 complete with the compilation and club tour, “Ten Years Of Moon Harbour”. The year 2010 also marked the birth of the monthly Moon Harbour Radio Show. Luna City Express and Dan Drastic have been taking turns producing this show, which has already had more than 25 editions.

The year 2011 marked another special occasion: our sister label Cargo Edition celebrated its fifth anniversary with the compilation “Five Years Of Cargo Edition”. In the summer of 2011, Moon Harbour released the compilation CD “Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza - The Next Level”, mixed by Matthias Tanzmann and Davide Squillace. This year started off with yet another important step: the launch of Moon Harbour Digital. So far this new digital platform has seen releases by Arado & Marco Faraone, ONNO and Nil By Mouth.
To celebrate the release of “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol.4”, there will be numerous record release showcases.

Norman Weber and Marco Resmann of Luna City Express are known for their distinctive house style, which combines classic house grooves with a nice sprinkling of humor. This is also what makes their track “Mr. Jack” from the album “Hello From Planet Earth” one of their greatest hits. Since autumn 2011 the two Berlin-based artists have been taking turns with Dan Drastic at hosting the Moon Harbour Radio Show. They have also become an essential part of the Berlin club scene. As resident deejays they appear regularly at the Watergate, one of the best clubs worldwide.

For the vocals on “The Next Level”, they invited none other than Roland Clark, one of the most famous voices in house music. He has been active in the house music scene since 1987, and many of the tracks he has contributed to are also real classics. The best known among these are “Flowers” by Armand van Helden and one of the most often remixed house tracks, “I Get Deep”, which he produced himself. In “The Next Level”, Roland Clark, who also wrote the lyrics for the track, reminisces about a more or less typical clubbing night. The protagonist starts the evening with a bad mood caused by everyday stress and plenty of bad luck, but the deejay once again saves the night and his mood – a feeling most of us know from our own experience.

“The Next Level” is a classic maxi single with various versions of the title track. The Original Mix grabs the listener through the bass parts that were recorded with a theremin and the effects that were added to the track in real time. The Sunday Morning Mix and the Dance All Night Mix are based on classic house music arrangements, but, just like the Original Mix, they aim straight for the dance floor. As a bonus, the single also contains a Loop A Cappella and an Instrumental Mix. With such a generous mix of tracks, there’s really something for everyone.

Hailing from Amsterdam the artist ONNO has been part of his hometown’s club scene since he was 19. Back then, in 2001, he became the youngest resident deejay of the Amsterdam clubbing series “Chemistry”. A short time later, he started to produce music together with Rocco Mundo, which quickly led to success. ONNO received booking requests from all over Europe. However, his great breakthrough came in 2010, when he released records on Souvenir, Upon You and Remote Area. He received much support from deejays like Steve Lawler, Marco Carola, Nick Curly, Matthias Tanzmann, Tiefschwarz, 2000 and One, Tim Green, Gregor Thresher, Karotte, Slam, Audiofly, Davide Squillace, and many others. As a result of this success, he now deejays at almost every club and festival in his home country, the Netherlands. Additionally, he is a very popular guest deejay in clubs like the Panoramabar and the Watergate in Berlin. 

The Paragroove EP is the first Moon Harbour release by ONNO and contains the three original tracks “Paragroove”, “Mumbling Groove” and “First Question”, as well as a remix by the Paris-based Dyed Soundorom. Many people will already know this artist from his work as a resident deejay of the Circoloco nights at the DC10 in Ibiza. He recently founded the Apollonia label, together with his buddies Dan Ghenacia and Shonky. Last year, he toured Australia together with Moon Harbour label boss Matthias Tanzmann.

ONNO’s tracks captivate audiences with their straightforward dance-floor suitability and their dense grooves. Even if you get the impression that they are mere deejay tools when hearing them for the first time, you will soon realize that their subtle elements set them apart from other tracks. A ghostly vocal sample, for example, is what distinguishes the title track “Paragroove”. This track was selected by Dyed Soundorom for his remix. He takes everything down a few gears and gives the track a laid-back groove. The distinctive vocal snippets and hip-hop-like vocal samples are what make “Mumbling Groove” so special. Last but not least, the track “First Question” works perfectly as a trippy percussion tool.

Last year, with their first Moon Harbour release, the “Strange Neighbors EP”, Arado and Marco Faraone proved that they know how to produce club hits. The title track represents a milestone in the careers of both deejays; and their calendars have become significantly fuller. 

For their new “Goodfellas EP” – which is the first release of a new digital-only series on Moon Harbour – each artist contributed two solo tracks. “Anything” and “New Life” are Arado’s very first solo productions. This time, after several collaborations, he decided to record on his own in the studio. The result: two irresistible groove tools that roll over the dance floor with unstoppable energy.

Marco Faraone has already produced several solo recordings. His two tracks on the EP are also clearly committed to the groove. “It’s Not The Time” was one of the highlights in Matthias Tanzmann’s sets last summer – similar to “Strange Neighbors” the year before last. Like in many other tracks by these two artists, the focus is on the beats. The suspense develops through the arrangements. The last track, “Orange Again”, therefore seems slightly restrained but grabs the listener with a nonchalantly knocked off groove.

Since “Slice Of Life”, his last EP release on Moon Harbour, Dan Drastic has been anything but idle. He’s released on Luna Records and Rrygular and contributed several tracks to the Moon Harbour compilations “Ten Years of Moon Harbour” and “Moon Harbour Joints Vol. 2”. Since October 2011 he has been taking turns with Luna City Express at hosting the Moon Harbour Radio Show and is still an essential part of the Moon Harbour Labelflights at the Leipzig Distillery.

He is ringing in 2012 with an eclectic EP. The title track, “Noodle Stories“, as well as the track “Los Pollos Hermanos”, are perfect for the time between warm-up and peak in the club: they are deep but have more than enough energy to get the dance floor moving. Martin Buttrich takes a more minimal approach in his remix of “Noodle Stories”, transforming the track into a subtle tech-house stomper. With “Fish Fingers And Custard”, Dan Drastic shows his rave side. The groove of the track is dense and driving and reaches its climax through an utterly effective chord sequence.

Nice selection of tracks.

Vienna has a longstanding reputation for producing one extraordinary artist after the other. But the city on the Danube has never been able to make a name for itself as a top-class clubbing metropolis. However, recently Vienna seems to have been roused from its slumber. More and more new clubs are opening their doors. And, of course, with these new clubs come new deejays.

Andy Catana and Christopher Groove met at the Vienna Camera Club in 2007 during their weekly residency gigs at the MNML clubbing series. In 2008 Andy Catana founded the Do Easy Records label. Christopher Groove has become one of its figureheads. For several years he’s been very active as producer. Offstage he has already done the mixing for a number of established young artists. In 2009 Andy Catana and Christopher Groove met the young, aspiring producer Daniel Kovac, who has since joined Catana as co-owner of the Do Easy label.

The “Vienna EP” focuses on the essentials: good grooves and breaks which are suitable for both peak-time and deep sets. The artists use various sounds from house-music history for the grooves, without merely copying them. On this EP only the original mix of Christopher Groove’s “Animales de la Manana”, which will be available as an exclusive digital track, stands out in terms of style: it’s an elegantly relaxed after-hours track.

Marco Donato and Federico Marton, better known as Italoboyz, moved to music metropolis London at the beginning of the 21st century. From there they started their career as producers, releasing their first records on labels such as Einmaleins, Treibstoff and Safari Electronique. They had their first big success with “Viktor Casanova“ on Claude VonStroke’s label Mothership and their subsequent records have continued to cause stirs on the dancefloor. 

Giorgio Cadamuro, aka Blind Minded, has been a friend of the Italoboyz for many years. Having finished his apprenticeship as an audio engineer in Australia, he also moved to London and because he had his roots as a drum & bass producer, „il martelletto“ – “the small hammer”, as the three call the 4/4 beat – was not initially his cup of tea. Over the years, however, he grew fond of this kind of music and eventually he also added his polish to several Italoboyz tracks.

The title track “Bekeke“ was originally chosen by Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann for the mix-CD “Circoloco @ DC10 - The Next Level”, which came out in spring this year. Now the track is being released on Moon Harbour, with “Spooky Bird“ und “Mamacita“ on the B-side. All three tracks are characterized by a straight, uncomplicated groove. “Bekeke“ stands out with a simple melody, combined with sporadically emerging disco stabs. “Spooky Bird“ combines organic percussion and an engaging, almost random, whistling sound. The last track, “Mamacita“, is built around a disco loop and layers a distinctive vocal sequence, percussion and catchy rhodes-lick on top.

Adam Port’s background as a techno and house producer eschews many house music clichés, with his first musical influences actually coming from the hardcore scene of the east coast metropolises of the USA. Along with his straight-edge lifestyle, hip hop was also a crucial part of his life and which led to him learning to spin records. Fortunately for us he found his way to electronic music and especially to house music, otherwise the scene would be without a very talented musician.

On his Moon Harbour debut, his ability in creative sampling comes to the fore. The central theme of “Basement” is the drum loop, which in spite of its simplicity keeps the track vibrant and organic. Daniel Wilde’s vocals add a haunting atmosphere and characterise many of Port’s tracks. Together you can just feel the dark but enthusiastic vibes of techno basement parties.

In his remix Moon Harbour label-boss Matthias Tanzmann places less importance on the drum loop and concentrates more on small and detailed effects without abandoning his trademark dry and reduced funk.

The track “Tell you” delivers a crazy disco jam, highly polished with piano and drum loops and a vocal sample as sweet as candy - catchy without being cheesy.

Martinez, our man from Copenhagen, saw great success last year with his album "The Paradigm Shift" and with his tight, rolling-house sound becoming a distinctive trademark. 

It’s taken almost a year to collect all the remixes of "The Paradigm Shift", but it has most definitely been worth the wait. Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann has rounded up an illustrious group of remixers, including the winner of a very successful remix contest done in collaboration with Juno Download. The winner, Tripmastaz, beat out 150 other entries with his remix of the title track "Paradigm Shift", and which will be available as an exclusive Juno Download along with the release of the second remix package (MHR055).

Alex Celler, the Greek-born and Londoner-by-choice producer, has already conquered the turntables of famous DJs worldwide with hits such as "La Palma" (Area Remote). He’s hit the mark once again with his remix of "Kamino", which has been an essential part of Matthias Tanzmann’s and Martinez’s sets for some months now. We can confidently say it will be an official club hit!

The two Romanians Livio & Roby have made their mark with tracks and remixes for labels such as Desolat, Cecillé and Fumakilla, and give the track "Damaged Color" their own particular note. One of their productions will also appear on the forthcoming "Five Years Of Cargo Edition" compilation.
Marco Resmann and Norman Weber, better known as Luna City Express, show off their versatility with a typical Luna City Express-House remix of "Memorial" and a top-notch downbeat remix of "Lavender Mist".

To finish off the package, the Nuremberger Michael Melchner, mainly known for his regularly releases on Cargo Edition, has converted "Thought Patterns" into one of his unique and reduced house remixes.

Since the late 1980s Ibiza has developed into a meeting place for the discerning hedonist and people who prefer to party on their holidays instead of quarreling with other tourists over sunloungers. From 1999 the Circoloco parties at DC10 have been the most consistently legendary events of every season. Every Monday fancily dressed up people dance the day away to sets from the world’s best DJs, all under the glorious Balearic sun. It’s no wonder the party series is one the most-visited on the white island.

Circoloco residents, DJs Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann, have been integral to the party since 2007, both being big names in the scene for a long time. Tanzmann has been going strong with his label Moon Harbour for more than ten years now, and Davide Squillace, as well as releasing on well-known labels such as Ovum, Sci+Tec and Desolat, also stirs up the music world with his labels Minisketch, Titbit Music and the recently founded Hideout.

Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann have known each other and played together for years now, their legendary back2back sets at Circoloco parties always causing a furor, most recently in Miami, London and of course at DC10. So it’s no surprise at all that the two were called on to compile and mix "Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza 2011 – The Next Level"; the perfect accompaniment for the coming summer and the new Circoloco season. Sorry, we are Circoloco!

Along with Matthias Tanzmann, Squillace is a resident at the famous Circoloco @ DC10 parties at Ibiza, and together they have compiled and mixed the "Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza 2011 – The Next Level" compilation, soon to be released on Moon Harbour.

Arado & Marco Faraone, who caused a stir with their hit "Strange Neighbors" on Moon Harbour last year, contribute a remix of „Williamsburg“. The remix takes the deepness of the original and backs up the warm chords with the typical rolling Arado & Marco Faraone house groove.

Christian Burkhardt has drawn a lot of attention with his productions on Oslo Records, raum...musik and Area Remote. The Heidelberg-born live act, DJ and Producer gives us two versions of his remix of "Solaris"; the second version will be available as an exclusive track on Juno Download.
Berliner Markus Schatz, noted for his top house releases on Cargo Edition, the sister label of Moon Harbour, has remixed the title track of the album "Paradigm Shift".

Every now and then, chance pushes two artists into the studio together. When that happens not only do interesting combinations of artists arise, but also the opportunity for exceptional music to be created. The epic pairings of Dan Drastic and Matthias Tanzmann, Chris Lattner and Luna City Express, and Martinez and Matthias Tanzmann team up for the second edition of the very special Moon Harbour Joints series.  

Dan Drastic and Matthias Tanzmann open the record with ‘Puddle Trouble’, a dry, reduced deephouse track which elegantly builds a bridge from funky oldschool grooves to modern house. Following this is Chris Lattner and Luna City Express with ‘Soul On Soul’, once more demonstrating what they do best: warm and organic deephouse.

The seed to Martinez and Tanzmann’s ‘Yamanote Line’ was sown while both were on a DJ-Tour through Japan. After recording sounds on Tokyo’s Yamanote train line, they later pieced them together in Martinez’s studio in Copenhagen into a tight and grooving techhouse track.

After the stunning success of Arado & Marco Faraone's "Strange Neighbors" (MHR051), we just had to release another of Matthias Tanzmann's summer hits on Moon Harbour. "Sun Splash" by Outart, the project of two Italian producers Fabio Lo Monaco and Andre Sirica, originally came out as a digital bonus on IANUS, the label of Circoloco residents System Of Survival. With an impulsive percussion groove and a striking brass sample, "Sun Splash" quickly became one of the most played tracks in Matthias Tanzmann’s sets and one of the greatest hits at DC10/Ibiza this season. Licensing the track for a vinyl release on Moon Harbour was impossible to resist!

The EP is completed by three as yet unreleased tracks. „Steinburg“, „Carrot“, and the digital exclusive track „En Vedi“ are deeper and more low-key, showing off the two Italian’s multifaceted style but without forgetting the dance floor. A fantastic debut for Fabio Lo Monaco and Andre Sirica. Welcome to Moon Harbour!

It has now been a decade since, on the eve of the new millennium, Matthias Tanzmann and André Quaas decided to start their own label Moon Harbour Recordings. Originally intended as an outlet to release the music of Matthias Tanzmann and his Gamat 3000 project, as well as tracks from his colleague Marlow, Moon Harbour quickly made its name in the electronic music scene and thus the label opened it’s doors to other artists like Vincenzo, Krüger & Manowski, Daniel Stefanik, Håkan Lidbo and Goldfisch & Der Dulz. In 2005 the Berlin-based duo Luna City Express started working with the label and joined the Moon Harbour Family.

2006 became a landmark year as two tracks by Matthias Tanzmann took the label to a new level - his own track “Bulldozer” and his remix of Marlow & Delhia's "Movin". These records have been two of Moon Harbour’s biggest hits and were the reason for the great leap in the awareness of the label internationally. In the same year Matthias Tanzmann founded the sister label Cargo Edition in order to broaden the stylistic spectrum of Moon Harbour. Since then Cargo Edition has developed into an independent platform with its own style, predominantly driven by the label's established and illustrious stock of artists, including Michael Melchner, Vera Heindel, Ekkohaus, Sven Tasnadi, Markus Schatz and Juno6.

In 2008 two new artists joined the Moon Harbour family and have become permanent members of the label's roster: Martinez from Copenhagen and Dan Drastic from Leipzig. Last but not least, Berliner Chris Lattner started to work for Moon Harbour both as a musician and as a host of the monthly Moon Harbour Radio Show, which he produces with Dan Drastic. In addition to new artists, releases from guest artists like Gregor Tresher’s “Break New Soil”, Santos' “Hold Home” or Arado & Marco Faraones „Strange Neighbors“ have reinforced the label's repuation. Not content to just make the records, over the last few years Moon Harbour Showcases have become renowned for building great parties with excellent music, provided by DJs who are part of a musical family. We are all looking forward to the next ten years and beyond!

Now their new EP is being released on Moon Harbour. The title track “Strange Neighbors” is already one of the most sought-after tracks of the year. These tracks have already been appearing in the sets of Matthias Tanzmann and Ricardo Villalobos for quite some time now and have therefore created considerable hype in various online forums and Internet communities. A video of a Matthias Tanzmann set is currently circulating on YouTube, showing one of the famous sit-downs at a Circoloco Party in the Ibiza club DC10. The soundtrack to this sit-down is “Strange Neighbors”.

The other two tracks on the EP are just as powerful as the title track and would each make a good A-side. A fourth track, called “No People Here”, is also available as a digital exclusive.
 

Matthias Tanzmann, Dan Drastic, Luna City Express and Martinez have reworked some classics and some of the best kept secrets of the label’s discography to produce four great remixes.

Matthias Tanzmann takes care of “Photone”, a track from his former project Gamat 3000. “Photone” appeared on the very first Moon Harbour release (MHR001). In his re-interpretation he turns the track from a deep house gem into a percussion-driven dancefloor-killer that he is so popular for.

The track “Seyyes” by New Zealander Simon Flower which was released in 2007 (MHR031) was reworked by Dan Drastic. By using many layers of percussion elements he experiments with the synth lines of the original and again gives evidence of his qualities as a remix artist.

Martinez from Copenhagen reshaped “Fresh“ by Luna City Express (MHR019). This track was the start of Norman Weber’s and Marco Resmann’s joint career in 2005. The remix picks up the sequences known from the original and bolsters it with the distinctively rough Martinez-house-vibe.

Luna City Express do something similar with their remix of Marlow’s “So Mellow, So Sweet“. The track was first released on the compilation “Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol. 2“ (MHR005-3) in May 2007. By elegantly face-lifting the track they make it even more perfect for the dancefloor.
 

Throughout his career Martin Swanstein, aka Martinez, has experienced quite a few musical paradigm shifts. And he is certainly not the only one in the techno scene who has done so. Many of his fellow musicians also started, over time, focussing more on certain forms of techno and house music. In the case of Martinez it was a shift from deep house to minimal techno and finally to his current dance-floor house sound. Yet you never get the feeling that Martinez is just jumping on the bandwagon. When his first record, “Momomowha …”, was released on Moon Harbour in 2008 the house revival had just started. Martinez instantly managed to establish his own little niche.

After 3 EPs and a co-production with label boss Matthias Tanzmann, Martinez has established himself on the label’s roster of musicians and represents Moon Harbour at label parties all over the world. When seeing Martinez deejaying, his many years of experience become obvious. He simply knows how to set a club on fire.

“The Paradigm Shift” is already Martin’s third album. It is unique in having mastered the balancing act between dance-floor rhythm and home-listening quality. His organic sound combines all elements like dense beats and jazzy chords - so well, the listener is convinced that all of these are cast from the same mould. Every now and then you get the feeling you are listening to a really old house record that was simply produced with 2010 technology. Funky and, always at just the right moment, explosive.

Hailing from Berlin Norman Weber and Marco Resmann released an album in autumn 2009 that can be easily called a success. This is why there were no problems at all to find an illustrious circle of remixers.

Jena-based Robag Wruhme already contributed one remix to Matthias Tanzmann’s „Bulldozer“ in 2006. The old partnership was now revived and Robag Wruhme was asked for a re-interpretation of another Moon Harbour track. His version of “Mr. Jack” captivates you with its mix of funk and darkness and has an overwhelming effect on the dance floor.

Reboot reworked the track called “Parish Fair”. He stripped the original that contains a strong percussion element even further down to the basics and focused more on an elaborate development of the break.

Martinez‘ remix of “Time & Space“ proves once more that the Copenhagen artist is really capable of making a track flow. The longer the track is playing the more obvious it becomes that his organic beats form perfect unity with the original theme; as if they were made for it from the start.

Also the second part of the remixes includes an exclusive digital bonus track. This time by Moon Harbour artist Dan Drastic that via his remix accomplishes in transferring the track called “MS Gera“ from space to earth: he partitions the main theme and completely leaves out the saxophone of the original. This way he achieves a dry and driving reprint of the original.

Hailing from Berlin Norman Weber and Marco Resmann released an album in autumn 2009 that can be easily called a success. This is why there were no problems at all to find an illustrious circle of remixers.

Mathias Kaden starts off with his Smaragd Remix of “Diamonds & Pearls“, one of the more successful tracks of the record. Mathias sticks to his style. He knows how to experiment with the e-piano snippets from the original track. All this is supported by an ambitiously grooving beat that simultaneously accomplishes a certain airy lightness. This is something that only he can do!

Most people will know Ray Okpara from Mannheim as member of the Oslo-Crew. His remix strips “Celebration of Life” down to its essence: the groove. Ray keeps this driving and consistence until the last beat.

Catz’n’Dogz from Stettin have taken care of the humorous “Mr. Jack“. Contrary to the original track the vocals rather act as an instrument and are based on a beat that puts you under a spell from the very first second and doesn’t release you until the track is over.

As a digital bonus the New Zealander Simon Flower provided one his typically organic remixes; this time “Heaven’s Gate“. It is the perfect finish to the first part of the remixes.
 

After his collaboration with Matthias Tanzmann in summer 2009, Martinez releases another stunning solo EP on Moon Harbour. Within a few beats it’s clear who we have here – so distinctive has Martinez’ sound become.

»Cheesecake« has an elegant house flow, its pressure evolving throughout and held by the continually increasing chord which, when reduced to its essential elements, creates a unique tension in the track. This elegant groover will turn heads as its deepness grows to catch the listener at just the right time.

On the flipside »Gourmet« is full and atmospheric – a floating chord, an excited vocal and from time to time a string make this the track to start the night or the morning in a euphoric way.

In addition to the vinyl will be the exclusive digital track »Passerby«, a techhouse track that rides straight down the line, catching up on the drive of Martinez’ previous EPs “Momomowha” und “Le Cirkus”.

Martinez’ first album on Moon Harbour will be following up in spring 2010. Keep your eyes and ears open.

The musical evolution of Matthias Tanzmann as producer is in full swing – a quick look over his releases and remixes of the last year reveals an ease and sophistication, as he further progresses the reduction of house music.

And with great pleasure we get to provide his pinnacle of the year so far, »Chano«, the two versions of the track demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade.

The A side concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole.

The B side of »Chano« is arranged more classically - a deep chord, a clear beat, accentuated hi-hats and claps. The percussiveness here is more profound, shaping the track in a completely different way.

After Moon Harbour’s first artist album, the much commended “Restless” by Matthias Tanzmann in spring 2008, comes the long-awaited 'Hello from Planet Earth' by Luna City Express!

Marco Resmann and Norman Weber have been an integral part of the Moon Harbour inner circle from the very beginning, and have made themselves indispensable during the last four years as a DJ and Producer duo - consummate purveyors and subtle innovators of house. In the last few years the duo has forged quite a distinctive sound and their first album shows off the various facets of their love for this music, by keeping the balance between classic house with its US American roots and contemporary European developments.

“Hello from Planet Earth” is an eclectic work which displays the essence of their sound - the key being the shape and ease of funk, a high musicality and a cheeky sense of humor. Tracks which brim with this classic Luna City Express style house sound are “Celebration Of Life”, “Dream In Berlin”, “MS Gera”, “Mr. Jack” and “Parish Fair”, all filled with depth, organic funk and the right drive for the best hours in the club. In these tracks the Berlin-Chicago axis is clearly apparent, all done with the right amount of reverence while still looking to the future.

The album also delves further into an unseen side of the duo: introverted, dense tracks, inspired by Dub and Downbeat, like “Plata”, “Heaven’s Gate”, “Time & Space” or “Orange Softcake”. The short interludes, „Floripa“ and „Magic Bubbles“, 2 experimental ambient tracks, connect the dots and complete the package.

With “Hello from Planet Earth”, Luna City Express have really come into their own, and the result is a more impressive sound than ever - reflecting both their respect and passion for house music.

In the last few months two faces have caused a massive stir at Moon Harbour HQ, the frenchman Seuil and Martinez from Copenhagen. And to take that momentum a step further, after their recent sets alongside Matthias Tanzmann at the monthly Moon Harbour Flights at the Distillery in Leipzig, Tanzmann invited them back to his nearby studio for what ended up being a very fruitful couple of recording sessions.

And the fruits of these collaborations are here for you all as two very special tracks on the split EP „Moon Harbour Joints Vol. 1“, each track combining the artists’ unique personal styles while at the same time giving us more than the sum of the parts.

The A-side is Martinez and Matthias Tanzmann rolling out a compactly arranged track, named „Ohh I don't know“, which is characterised by percussive and impulsive beats, a rythmic chord and engaging vocal samples, all adding to make a unique funk – direct, authentic and deep.

Tanzmann and Seuil’s „My 808 gently weeps“ also builds on and emphasises several layered vocal samples. The result this time is a deeper and more laid back affair, which will undoubtedly become the perfect soundtrack to many an after-party that has stretched long into the shining new day.

Sometimes there are tracks which cause quite a stir long before their release date, and „Hold Home“ by the Italian producer Santos is one such track. For almost a year now ‚Hold Home’ has been causing mayhem in the sets of Djs like Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice and Timo Maas, and now the track is being finally released officially by Moon Harbour.

Santos is one of the majors in the music scene, working as a DJ, producer and remixer. With „Camels“ he released an international chart-hit at the end of the nineties, and remixes and productions for famous stars like Madonna and Fat Boy Slim show that his artistic spectrum goes far beyond electronic clubmusic. Since 2008 he has been assisting Timo Maas as a producer, in addition to running the Mutant Clan project together.

„Hold Home“ is a classic house track – elegant, hypnotic and timeless, and with it he perfectly heralds the beginning of the summer season. The track is based on a short sample-loop of beats, chords and a distinctive vocal sample, and the fact that it needs nothing more than this is testament to Santos' keen sense for the dancefloor.

Luna City Express add their very own brand of funk to their remix on the B side. The two Berliners add percussion, their own vocal sample and a heavy portion of deepness, giving the track a new flow - less loop-orientated, but more soulful and more geared to the dancefloor.

Alexis Benard a.k.a Seuil can't be stopped at the moment, releasing six EPs in the last year alone and amongst them being his stunning debut "Double Room" on Moon Harbour. This time around Seuil dishes up another three top-notch house tracks for us.

It all starts with "Musm", a driving track with a sharply accented rhythm, underlined by a catchy vocal sample. Around the middle of the track the arising fanfare/trumpet horn shows off Seuil's feel for the dancefloor. When the peak arrives it is a carefully crafted and subtle one, holding the listener till the end.

"Unexpected Night" is a builder, starting relaxed, but during the breakdown a half dissonant, half driving sound emerges giving the track an excellent and unforgettable new dynamic.

"Ohohah" is a touch more experimental. Bourn on an elegant bassline, the style shows a friskier side to Seuil, while still capturing his catchy, deep and funky style.

2009 will be the year for Luna City Express. Since quite a time Berlin-based Norman Weber and Marco Resmann bring fresh breezes into the international house scene again and again – with their EPs and DJ-Gigs. Thoroughly honest house tracks, always with a winking easiness, are their trademark. This year their first album is coming and »Rough Neck« gives the first taste. The track catches with its continuous tension, always nearly bursting - for the whole duration of the track. The percussive rhythms, a short chord together with the funk bassline and some vocal samples interspersed – all this is inevitably pulling the listener.

Brothers’ Vibe, the hero of house, now finally getting the legitimate success for his music, intensifies »Rough Neck« into a pushing though deep house track with a classic US influence. At the same time he’s picking up the tension forced already by Luna City Express.

Also Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann interpretes »Rough Neck« in a new way while emphasizing the percussive character of the track even stronger. Garnished with extra sounds the piece gets a completely new drive without losing the original out of sight.

The Inhouse compilations are special moments for Moon Harbour. Being more than just simply packed with new and exclusive tracks from Moon Harbour artists and friends, they are also landmarks which connect a contemporary sound with a look to the future by giving a mouth-watering taster of upcoming releases.

Two eventful years have passed since the last Inhouse-compilation: almost a dozen new EPs have been released and played relentlessly in clubs worldwide - releases by Moon Harbour residents Matthias Tanzmann, Marlow, Luna City Express and Dan Drastic, but also by Simon Flower, Miguel Toro, Gregor Tresher, Seuil and last but not least Martinez, who is set to influence the labels' profile more in the future. Moon Harbour has now become fully international, with it’s artists receiving global acclaim and booking for gigs far and wide.

In particular it is the label-head Matthias Tanzmann who has flown the Moon Harbour banner around the globe. Apart from spending nearly every weekend abroad spinning in his inimitable style, he also plays regularly in Ibiza, performed for the Goethe-Institut in China and Australia and also somehow found time to release his eagerly-awaited solo debut "Restless" in spring 2008.

"Inhouse Vol.3" ranges from classical house through to the current sound of the clubscene, in which the borders between techno, minimal and house are becoming more and more blurred. The compilation seamlessly combines tracks of friends of Moon Harbour like Boris Werner and Mathias Kaden, who have previously remixed for Moon Harbour before, artists like Martinez and Vera who are currently the labels' focus, newcomers Dan Drastic & Chris Lattner who are set to cause more sensation in the future, and last but not least: Matthias Tanzmann and Luna City Express - the central members of the Moon Harbour family.

"Inhouse Vol.3" is not only a gift for Moon Harbour fans, but as well for the label itself.

"Inhouse Vol.3" is not only a gift for Moon Harbour fans, but as well for the label itself.

Martin Swanstein aka Martinez is remaining true to Moon Harbour. After his first fantastic EP “Momomowha”, the high-flying producer, dj and labelhead comes along with two brilliant new tracks for the label. And once again Martinez succeeds in capturing intense moments and expanding on them, but without losing impact.

In “Le Circus” Martinez arranges different vocal samples into a rhythmic collage which build into the backbone of funk in the track. It’s precise and growing breakdowns will undoubtedly provide euphoria on the dancefloor.

“Mundial” has a percussive and intricate start but quickly evolves into an easygoing and elegant house track, which creates its incredible deepness by focusing only on the essential. "Mundial" is the kind of track which would signal early in the evening that the people in the club had most definitely come to the right place.

2009 the new Moon Harbour Compilation „Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol.3“ will be released, in which Martinez will provide an exclusive track as well the DJ-Mix.

Moon Harbour stays international with their 40th release. This time with the focus on the vibrant French club scene. Alexis Bernard aka Seuil has already released a bunch of groundbreaking EPs on labels like Minibar, Einmaleins or Freak N Chic since 2006. This year he founded his own label called Eklo with such hi-class acts as Lauhaus and Miss Fitz.

For his first EP on Moon Harbour Recordings he presents 3 top notch house tracks with profound melodies and cleverly layered rhythms. “Double Room” consists of subtle sounds and a very likable vocal sample - driving with a high dose of funk! “She Percs Me” on the flipside is a bit more straight. Percussive rhythms and playful licks perfectly display Seuil’s musically advanced ideas. Last but not least and a bit more on the relaxed side we have “No Time For Love”. A shy piano works its way through the track and makes it a perfect tune for some real late night magic. One thing is for sure: France doesn’t necessarily mean French House.

After Gregor Tresher in spring 2008, Martin Swanstein alias Martinez is the next long time companion of the club scene to join Moon Harbour this year. The Copenhagen based DJ and producer has built up an impressive discography within the last seven years and affected the catalogue of labels like Guidance and Audiomatique decisively. With Out Of Orbit Recordings and Re:connected Martinez could also establish his own platforms. Known for excessive tech house tracks Martinez reflects the typical Scandinavian club sound that captivates by both its deepness and its clarity. The enhancement of his music, which can already be witnessed on his “Retrospective EP” on 3rd Floor, is even more evident his Moon Harbour debut.

„Momomowha” is an impulsive techno track, which however avails itself of the aesthetics of various house elements. The fact it runs more than eleven minutes is not conspicuous at all. The beat pushes forward undeviatingly, retaining its presence even during the longer breaks. The vocal sample of “Momomowha”, which is looping through the whole track, is backing up the straight character of the rhythm, adding a wonderful funky touch that gives somewhat of a timeless note to the track.

“Day By Day” is more obviously rooted in house music. The beat is twisted, but still pushing forward. It is thus a good contrast to the warm sounding chords and shows a slightly deeper side of Martinez.

Great events are often foreshadowed. Moon Harbour makes no difference there: Label head Matthias Tanzmann is about to release his first album “Restless” and with “Rugby” comes a promising teaser-EP. Side A belongs to Mathias Kaden, displaying the fresh creativity of a young DJ and producer. After releases on Freude am Tanzen and Vakant he no longer is just an insiders’ tip. His version of “Rugby” condenses the percussive elements of the original into a floor-storming monster, making great surprises with live-saxophone breaks. On the flipside, Matthias Tanzmann gets at it again, making “Rugby” a rakish percussive house track, lucid and lively at the same time. There could be no better preparation for the forthcoming release by Mr. Tanzmann. The original of “Rugby” already enjoys heavy rotation by the likes of Josh Wink, Steve Bug, Martin Landsky, Raresh and Karotte. And be prepared: How “Rugby” sounds in its original version will be only one of the many surprises the album offers. We promise!

The Original of Rugby will be released on Matthias Tanzmann's forthcoming Album "Restless" in January 2008

Currently, Matthias Tanzmann is feeling really well on his scouting mission: Besides playing countless gigs, Matthias always keeps eyes and ears open for new talent. Following New Zealander Simon Flower is Miguel Toro from Venezuela: An active musician since 1988, Miguel has been playing in Fusion bands as well as solo and in cooperation with other artists. Lately, he has been on the road with Swiss high-flyer Samim a lot, enriching his sets with live percussions.

Three pieces of Miguel’s new project Oil Of Mars have been selected for his first EP on Moon Harbour. “Cure” fuses minimal house with dark cinematic extracts. Remixing it, Samim and Miguel round off its edges but take it further with wild sound experiments, adding even more facets to the original. “Otro” starts with a distinctive lurching loop but develops step by step into a versatile piece of Minimal. And to finish it, “Clak” shows how House can be standing firm without becoming nostalgic in times of Minimal all around: Deep beats and a handful of striking sounds develop into a cooled-down funk that’s neither Oldschool nor current Zeitgeist. A fine debut, isn’t it?

A new face at Moon Harbour - A Face from the back of beyond. Simon Flower comes from gorgeous New Zealand and has been affecting theantipodean club scene hugely since the early nineties. As Peak Shift this pleasant fellow released principally on his own label, Nurture Recordings but now, after a short break, Simon Flower is kicking off under his real name. The auspicious twelve-inch "Shinjuku Skyline" on Curl Curl was just thebeginning as here, he makes his debut on Moon Harbour before he delivers a12" to Pokerflat in a few months time. With "Send in the Clowns" Simon combines playful sounds and filtered vocal elements with a summery swinging bassline and a deliberate portion of funkwith his downright sensitivity. In contrast, "Seyyes" is a bit more compact and way deeper but is a potential underground hit with it´s unobtrusive peak for the later hours. On the A-Side Dutchman, 2000andOne (one of today's top producers and mastering engineers), edits "Send in the Clowns" into a more classical house style but always keeps an skilful eye on the distinctive character of the original. With this EP Simon Flower show's his links to the european club scene wonderfully.

The first pure Moon Harbour compilation is completed. After four years and 15 releases it is now time to give a summary of the label work. Thirteen partially exclusive tracks were compiled and mixed by Marlow and are now going to be released as Moon Harbour Inhouse Flights Volume One. Along with the CD the six new and exclusive tracks appear on two separately released 12 inch vinyls. Part 1kicks off with a track of the Hamburg based DJ Jan Krüger, who already debuted on Moon Harbour with “Cassis” (MHR007) in 2002. The Swedish producer John Dahlbäck (by the way the cousin of Jesper Dahlbäck) delivers his first track to the Moon Harbour Catalogue.
Although he still has a young career, this gifted man can already look back on releases on labels such as Brique Rouge, Toko, Dessous, Physical Soul, Deep 4 Life and Morris Audio.
Moreover we got a new track of Moon Harbour chairman Matthias Tanzmann, which is, compared to Matthias’ recent releases, focussing again on his deephouse roots. The last tune on this record is already a Moon Harbour classic. Gamat 3000’s “Gentleness”, originally released on MHR001, concludes the compilation’s first vinyl part on B2.
