Moon Harbour marks its historic 20th anniversary with a 10-track compilation of all new music. It features old friends like Marlow and Luna City Express, icons like Steve Bug and Butchand new
signings like Black Circle, so it is a fine representation of the label's famous sound.

Matthias Tanzmann founded Moon Harbour in 2000, and since then it has been at the forefront of the tech house scene. Even in the face of the major shift from vinyl to digital, a distributor going bankrupt
and the coronavirus pandemic, careful A&R and Matthias's own productions have ensured the label has remained utterly relevant. The Leipzig label has released countless EPs, LPs and compilations
and hosted label showcases all over the world. It has nurtured the careers of artists like Sable Sheep and Ekkohaus and has given a vital platform to new stars like Miane, Detlef and many more.

"Evolution is a natural process and important to artists as well as to labels," explains Matthias. "Music is always redefined and subject to trends. New generations of musicians want to create their own
identities through their sound. As a label, we listen to a lot of new music and try to stay open-minded within our own aesthetic range."
After a year of re-releasing classics from the label's back catalogue, the 20 Years of Moon Harbour compilation is all about fresh and exclusive music. It kicks off with Andrea Oliva's 'Return To The
Dancefloor,' a bumping cut driven by naughty bass before raw percussive energy from ANEK and tense cosmic melody Black Circle. Butch layers up tribal grooves and exotic vocals, then Luna City
Express mark the mid-point with the steamy house of 'Mami Wata' featuring Sunru's soulful vocals.

Marlow throws it back with some old school piano energy on 'Corktown,' Matthias nails a perfectly slinky tech house groove on 'Binford' and Ninetoes' 'Polanco Hills' ups the pace and drives forwards.

Closing out is the punchy and stripped back house of Steve Bug's 'Going Up' and Sven Tasnadi's loopy and hypnotic 'Cuckoo.'
This essential collection is further proof that Moon Harbour continues to shape the sound of contemporary European house music. Here's to the next 20 years.

IB014 // THE FIFTH STIGMA - Deprived of Glory (Incl. remixes by Templer, Rommek, Yuji Kondo, Hyperlacrimae) Cassette/Digital Infidel Bodies is thrilled to announce the new Ep by the Paris based producer THE FIFTH STIGMA. Marking our 14th chapte
r on the label, 'Deprived of Glory' comprises nine energy-filled tracks steeped in medieval oniric nostalgia and techno-industrial influences. "Deprived of Glory' can be interpreted as a romance or an ancient drama telling about wars made to conquer new kingdoms, about sacrifices, pains, betrayals, religion, greed and power. Primordial human emotions and events in ancient history become a source of inspiration to bring to light the power of eternity of the ancient world which laid the foundation for the formation of the present world. The EP features the remixes by Templer, Rommek, Yuji Kondo and Hyperlacrimae; the well-known artists create the right mix of ancestral techno-industrial unmistakably shaped by their uncompromising sound, gliding through genres with ease and combining modern style with ancient austerity. credits Produced by Rodolphe Vidal as The Fifth Stigma Mastered by at Red Dungeon (Naples) Artworks and Paul van Trigt Design and Layout by Erminio Granata

Inhaling, exhaling and moving on with 10010 Records.
Another vinyl-only release by Ksky, the "Elevate EP", with lots of emotions and house music inside.

The main track 'Elevate' turned out to be disturbing like everything that's been going around.

But we've made a deal to go forward, so the following romantic tracks are 'For My Baby' & 'OUTTA'. Love & Space are always near yet incompehensible.

The last track is minimalistic 'Weirdub' and this is one of those cases when you don't need much to dance.

Overt and Dan Goul are prominent MixCult artists that tend to drift above a more guttural sound. The four-track EP features two tracks by Overt beautifully composed with ethereal, galactic juno sound, gently shifting to dub chords, essential for the dance floor gliders. Dan Goul is as versatile as he can be, this time returning with two beautiful cuts for initiating or ending a music journey full of emotions. His pensive compositions on this release are probably the most delicate of all. The whole release will sink you into the deepest textures, making you discover a whole new palette of music colors.

Black is back! for the 6th in the Series

For its third installment, Luminære is proud to introduce one of its own. Long time friend of label’s boss Daïf, frenchman Laurent is in charge for this release, delivering his debut EP “What goes on inside”.


Residing in Tokyo, Laurent is a familiar face in the city’s underground techno scene where he seeks inspiration among the many talented DJs and producers the city hosts. LUMI03 is an introduction to his musical sensitivity, shaping his many influences into something personal.


The EP starts with Target Locked, an energizing 4/4 banger filled with stabbing arpeggiators merging into a powerful rumble. A2 follows with Synapses Overload which develops a dark, eerie atmosphere punctuated by high pitched synth to create a mesmerizing track


B side starts off with One More, probably the most dancefloor oriented track of the four, with robotic synths building up an engaging melody over a warm bass line. Finally, B2 features the more minimalist Won’t you listen. Its groovy drums and powerful bass combined with anxious pads and synths create an intoxicating melody.

The fifth record in the YOIONWAX series is here!

What can be more pleasant than the release of another record on YOI's birthday! Especially when this record brings together so many great musicians and so many incredibly cool vibes!

This time the music on the record covers five countries at once - the Netherlands, Italy, England, France and Mexico! An exciting journey around the world awaits us, and since we can't do it physically right now, let the music help us do it!

The journey YOIONWAXOO5 starts in the Netherlands, where very talented lad Kreech grabs us and takes us further and higher with his Wurlwind. Then back there in the Netherlands, but with Italian character and charisma, another young and very talented musician, Tommaso Pizzelli, takes us with him, giving our journey a funky fun with Funkytarro. On side B, we'll move to England, where another powerful artist, Tom Spark, is already waiting for us to reveal the power and meaning of the journey we're taking, putting us face to face with Padre. And after that, we find ourselves on two continents at once with two great musicians Jizz from Mexico and Thurman from France, who teamed up to show us the immense and timeless Time Division.

All this journey is accompanied by YOI's signature classic animated artwork, hand-drawn by label boss Watsche, which everyone is obliged to see in person, at the moment when the record is spinning and the music is playing. Don't forget that all you need for this is your phone, a camera on it, and a flash on. For more instructions on how to make the artwork come to life so that you can see the magic, check out the YOI instagram (@yoirecords).

Have a great trip!

When referring to Scape One, it's obligatory to recognize that his work is wholeheartedly visionary.

Ominous bass lines, warped bleeps, and hiccup like high hats combined with perfectly harmonized chords and melodies form a groundbreaking type of electro sound very atypical to the trends.

Believe In Records as a division of MixCult Records features second release with an experimental assertion full of retro influences coalesced with the sounds of the future, seemingly responding to one another's frequencies in perfect congruence.

The high demanding collectors cannot miss this release.

No Rush second release is a split EP that includes Arapu and Simone Adinolfi, each of them expressing a personal feeling about the antithesis of time, seen like infinite as much as just a moment.
While Arapu is showing elegance in Morning Clue with its deep and airy melodies and a more decisive and funky touch in End Of That using his special bassline blended with outstanding scratchy sounds, Simone Adinolfi gives a more melodic and warm imprint in Levantyne, where hypnotic pads are permeated by dreamy piano chords, and then gets more gloomy and raw in Relapse, showing his introspective side.

Division EP by Alexander Slush starts with a relentless march that is its title track, a military-themed piece that does not leave you many choices but to march along.

Track 2 Recoil introduces some resilience and an open-field feel, all “jump for joy” style but there is something weird and unhealthy about this celebration of sorts.

Hazard is a warning like the title suggests. The machine is dangerous and may leave you missing a limb if you are not vigilant enough.
Compulsion is a breezy track. Like freshly emitted exhaust fumes. Optimism is compulsory.

Italian artist Ocu is back for his 2nd release on the highly regarded Detroit side label. 'More Roads' is a jam packed 4 tracker that has the optimum balance of house party and club music while keeping the raw house feel the main focus. If you need the ideal record to point to that's currently a definitive house music classic, this is it!


'Fall Down' begins the EP in pure Detroit house style. The groove is highly addictive. All the well-placed elements ooze classic house music. Nothing goes over the top or tries to hard making this a sure-fire tracky winner. 'Raw Break' brings the fun back to house music. The broken beat works brilliantly with the keys and bassline to give it an almost Theo Parrish vibe as the melody creeps in to seal the deal. 'Feel Da Heart' has everything and more to be the house track of the summer. Understated and equally has smoothest of peaks and valley's. This truly could only come from an Italian's viewpoint of what is Detroit house music. That perfect blend of the two. Lastly, the title track bring it home with another memorable jam


After chatting with Ocu we understand his life work has been about exploring and consuming deep sounds. His background of repairing musical equipment for artist's along with his search for who in the scene was using those deep sounds the most creatively. It's that kind of background and devotion that sets up the foundation for this kind of quality of house music to then be made. And its no surprise that Detroit Side is the home for this memorable EP.

Written in this drunk, sleepless night.
Worshipping of the winds from the east.
A yearning, a whisper from the past.
A feeling at times forgotten, called back when the wind is heard.

Budapest, a synonym for the love of the inner city blues, the rubbish in the gutter, the beauty in the murky corners.
A thought that crept up on me in a second, a part of my journey.

Including 3 remixes from the lovely WAREIKA, Kalabrese and Mushrooms Project
