It has taken seventeen very carefully curated years, but Moon Harbour now hits release number 100 in some style. Matthias Tanzmann's label has actually put out around 150 EPs, albums and compilations, but the 100th vinyl release is a special family affair with key artists Dan Drastic & Sven Tasnadi, Luna City Express, Daniel Stefanik and the boss himself all featuring. This fine EP, then, confirms the now very grown up label is still young and exciting at heart.

There have been many highlights over the years, and the underlying philosophy of the label has always been to progress slowly but surely. To that end it has help make the careers of many artists, unearthed exciting new talents and showcased some fine underground heroes at the same time.

First up is the man who started it all, Matthias Tanzmann. His 'Mahoney Baloney' is a seductive seven minutes of teasing tech house. Bubbly synth sounds percolate up through the dry, hollowed out drums, odd spoken word vocals add freakiness and the all-important bass is warm and rubbery. Party starting but in subtle ways, it is a typical bomb from this long time master.

Label manager Dan Drastic and regular musical sparring partner Sven Tasnadi then come together for 'Tastic', a deep but cavernous track that sucks you right in. It builds and builds to become a slick dance floor pumper with trippy vocal yelps and warm, colourful chords that sooth the soul. Playful and smartly incendiary, it is a surefire dance floor weapon.

Label mainstays Luna City Express then offer a more peak time cut with vamping synths, frazzled pads and discordant stabs that bring real wonky dynamism to the rooted kick drums. It's one to get the crowd up on their toes and sweating as it twists and turns for the absorbing duration.

Last of all, master of intricacy Daniel Stefanik keeps things tight with his nicely coiled drums bringing a real sense of house funk to the EP. Restless and bouncy, killer drum loops and skewed chords all ensure you cannot fail to get swept up and carried away.

With these four varied yet vital cuts, Moon Harbour perfectly encapsulates what has made the label so essential over the last 100 releases.

Release with a blast on Riot Recordings which, just like every release of a certain level, demands the need for the quintessential format: the vinyl. Riot 37 will be composed by the collection of excellent remixes of four tracks included in the album Trenta' by Frankyeffe. The full album has taken everyone by surprise confirming the record label as a great and consistent certainty within the 'scene'. Cisco The Advent & Ricardo Industrialyzer put their hands on Crazy Man' taking the track towards their individual techno dimension, truly a floor banger which leaves one without the chance to breath. On a darker note is Go away from here' featuring miss Klaudia Gawlas who gives the track an old school feel bringing back to memory the Germany of the early nineties, when the word techno only meant one thing. A Psychedelic-deep vision from Clint Stewart who, remixing Dragon Flying, welcomes Frankyeffe's 'Dragonfly' into specific mind fields that can only be crossed after a certain time of the day, food for thought. The fourth and last track, when I was a child', is left to the care of the duo Macronism who have constructed a distinctive groove around the original main riff. Their remix is taken by the hand and guided by a raising synth which, throughout the track, never lets the listeners put their feet back on the soil of Planet Earth.
RIOT 37: 4 remixes of 4 tracks which will take you on 4 different journeys, all of them, undoubtably, in first class

This January Istanbul's finest Roit Recordings drops German legend Herb LF's latest EP, contributed by Clone's Arttu with a remix.

Roit Recordings warms up for 2017 with another quality vinyl release, this time coming from Herb LF. The imprint run by Ave Astra (who was lately featured on Bicep's podcast series) is building a reputation for dropping forward-thinking, club-friendly electronic music. The label is building its own sound, mixing deep and dubby melodies with more disco/house-tuned grooves and has been getting support all over the world by the likes of Bicep, MCDE, Ivan Smagghe, Moscoman, Groove Armada and more.

Their latest output perfectly showcases their musical approach. Herb LF's 'OBERHEIMER EP' includes 3 original cuts and a remix coming from Jack For Daze's Arttu. The German producer has been making music for the past 20 years, always delivering high quality analogue-sounding dance music. His 3 new tracks are a mixture of stomping grooves, intricate arp melodies, deep basslines and dreamy atmospheres. There are many influences in these 3 original tracks, making this a really heterogeneous release: from the totally disco 'Von Zeit zu Zeit seh' ich den Alten gern' and the wobbly - bassy 'A Little Dub' to the relentless late-night killer 'Oberheimer'. The 4th cut in the release is the outstanding Arttu's remix, already backed up by Ivan Smagghe, Jef K and more.

Roit Recording's latest release 'OBERHEIMER EP' coming from Herb LF is out in January 2017 on vinyl.

Berlin based producer & DJ Frag Maddin graces Definition with 'Forward' a 4 track EP with plenty of groove and power to bring the dancefloor to boil.

The title track set the tone of the EP - deep kicks and solid claps.
Frag Maddin takes the track up and down with various crescendos and vocal bits before he creates drama with dark synth-work. 'Sentience' continues with a similar feel & vibe while adding a thick bassline to tickle the dancefloor into a sweat. 'Back Up feat. Paul PM' exhibits your classic house percussion with the classic house chords under a deep vocal working together to bring the lights down and energy up. The final
track of the EP features an itchy bassline under many various pads creating a dark vibe and solid groove throughout. All in all, this EP is sure to satisfy more than a few eager listeners and puts Frag Maddin on the radar for good.

Hailing from Brest in France, Clement Landrau's release showcases his talent to make hard hitting floor ready techno. A1 Andromede is a roller with a reverberant baseline and complimentary atmospheric pads while title track Vitae swirls in and out of call and answer melodic phrases, accompanied by sweet baselines.

Los Angeles based, Modularz boss Developer, who has also had previous releases on Mote-Evolver and pole recordings, delivers two different remixes of the title track Vitae. Remix 1 is based around an alternative take of one of the melodic phrases from Vitae, while Remix 2 is a more syncopated minimal based track, showcasing Developer's rhythmic flair.

Found in a holiday home by the ocean, the table utensil that serves as a cover for this pop collection is a beach souvenir from another era that can not be clearly dated. The illustration depicts a pair of deckchairs in a naïve and cordial decoration: the perfect place to listen to his musical accompaniment, taking the form of a voyage to the crossroads and library music, the original French soundtracks of the 70's And a handmade electronic funk.
Blown by the air of time or diving suddenly, this collection of titles without age gives sunburns in winter, chills in summer and sows the Zizanie in the head of the one who tries to talk about it

limited repress !

1st release of new French label Plaisir Records by the artist Zendid, with a VID remix !!
Support: tINI, Faster, Anthea, Ada Kaleh, Raresh

Here, you're going to get into a serious classy bunch of tracks, where melodies interlace with round beats and basslines. The Wood Lesty's voice will enter your brain and will never leave it. The cherry on the cake (already rather tasty) is Vid Reconstruction Mix: a little 15 minutes diamond where he settles gradually his talent, involving the famous voice of the original mix with a compulsion of claps to end in second part of the remix with angelic choirs deserving of the most beautiful opera.

finally repressed !
