Moon Harbour Celebrates 20th Anniversary With New Compilation

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 Butch and 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.

Miane Remixes Moon Harbour Classic

Download & Stream: moonharbour.lnk.to/MHD145

Sable Sheep’s ‘Upon Burning Skies’ first came out in 2013 and is one of many hits in the German’s discography. Now it gets a fresh lease of life at the hands of Miane, the Malaga-born but Ibiza-based artist who has really broken through in recent years. She has served up fine singles here before like ‘You Belong To Me’ earlier in the year, as well as making outings on Knee Deep in Sound and Saved.

She is in fine form here as she flips the original into a chunky, heavyweight, and tribal house cut. The rock-solid kicks and prickly percussion make for a serious groove that is overlaid with a chanting vocal that will get any dance floor hypnotised. There is a warmth to the track that makes it perfect for the outdoor summer dancing that is just around the corner.

Once again here, Miane perfectly encapsulates the Moon Harbour sound from her own unique perspective.

Since 2013, when she finally based herself in Ibiza, Miane has evolved and developed her sound, as well as her label, Syne with an elegant and well-thought.

Nowadays, after years dedicated to the growth of her label and her DJ career, Miane is now focused on producing, her real true passion. Mixing the best features in each of house’s subgenres, with her unique use of black voices – that she manages to tweak at will – and that magic touch that works as secret ingredient, Miane manages to empower each and every one of her tracks. Thanks to the sound palette she has managed to develop over her more than seven years in the industry, Miane’s profile is – without questioning – one of those newcomers to keep an eye on this 2019.

Her DIY mentality, her passion, and the curiousness she develops towards any innovation – both digital and analogic – have made her become a more complete artists sound-wise, evolving naturally towards that warm and organic sound she feels more attracted to.

Getting all the attention of big names thanks to her sound, that play with influences that range from old school house to R&B, or 90s soul, Miane has upcoming projects with labels as Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep, Matthias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour, Steve Lawler’s ViVA or Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato’s co-owned Rawthentic, being testament of the great creative moment she finds herself right now.

Miane’s story is an old school one, where talent and hard work meet to give us such an unique artist, whose projection is set to be meteoric. A promise that becomes real, with the future in her hands.

Sven Tasnadi releases ‘Unoma’ on Moon Harbour

Download / Stream: moonharbour.lnk.to/MHD080

Long-time Moon Harbour artist Sven Tasnadi is back with a standout new single that continues in his fine tradition of serving up classy house sounds.

His last time on the label was the excellent Bridges release in late 2018 which then got remixed earlier in the year, and since then the German has also landed on Morning Glory Records and continued to DJ around Europe.

‘Unoma’ is brilliantly direct: the drums hit hard and get you on the edge of your seat before being interwoven with tribal vocals. Rattling percussion and underlapping bass all add to the intensity of this driving, infectious house monster. Once the wild synth sounds erupt at the midpoint and freaky filters take over, the dance floor will be on fire.

Tasnadi has struck gold here once more.
