2015 has been the year that Moon Harbour turned 15, but rather than focus on the past, Matthias Tanzmann's label has continued to serve up fresh future sounds. The next artist to do so is Lewis Boardman, a long time UK talent who has released on a clutch of fine labels in his
time.
Desolat, Play It Down and Souvenir have all served up the club ready sounds of Boardman in recent years. He himself is also closely associated with Circus having been a resident at the legendary Liverpool party for years, and all that DJ booth expense clearly pays off when in the studio because his tracks come complete with all the key ingredients to get people moving.
Boardman's debut Moon Harbour EP opens with 'Stay Together,' a slow burning, deeply delicious track with a hooky vocal riff and grinding bass that really work you into a lather. It is expertly balanced and reserved at the same time as having a big, long lasting impact. The excellent 'Push It Right' is then a grainy, static laced deep house swinger with kicks that rock back and forth and lull you into a subtle, supple groove.
Next great cut 'Aww Shit' then ups the ante with a rickety, train track like percussive line and vast, firmly rooted rubber kicks that really resonate with each hit. Another deft vocal adds a fine hook to the track as you wiggle your behind from start to finish. Last but by no means least, the dreamy 'As Yet' then gets swampy and minimal,with gurgling bass and glistening, knife edge percussion making for a wavy groove that is serenely tripped out and expertly seductive. Again a well treated vocal is the icing on the irresistible cake.
This is a classy and cultured EP that is one of Moon Harbour's deepest and headiest for a while.
