Format:	2CD

Catalog #:	MHR 007CD

The Moon Harbour label celebrates the 10th anniversary of Ibiza's summertime Circoloco party with part one of a series of three double CD releases. No question: the summer belongs to Ibiza. No other place attracts so many faddists of electronic music from all over the world in such a magical way like the Balearic Island. The two Italians Antonio and Andrea Pelino have organized the legendary party series Circoloco at the club DC10 since 1999. This daytime after party is a crazy circus of carnivalistic hilarity. Party people with colorful clothes and crazy styles enjoy the unique atmosphere as well as the countless internationally-known house and techno DJs, which play top-class sets week after week. On the occasion of the jubilee, the mix CD series Circoloco 10 Years Anniversary presents a versatile impression of the special Circoloco sound. On volume one, residents/mixers Tania Vulcano and Sossa present their private perspectives of the summer months in Ibiza. Artists include: Closer Musik, Tatto, Freaks, Mountain People DJs, Monne Automne, Daze Maxim, DJ Sneak, DJ Rasoul, Tomas Estaben, Miss Fitz, Anthony Collins, Yonurican, 2-Travelers, System Of Survival, Matthias Tanzmann, Boola, D.Diggler, Michal Ho, and Signor Andreoni.

Title:	Circoloco 10 Years Anniversary - Part 2 of 3
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	MHR 008CD

This is part two of Moon Harbour's 3-part double CD series, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ibiza's summertime Circoloco party. On volume two, resident/mixer Arpiar presents his own view behind the decks at DC 10. This is the deepest, most minimal contribution to this series. Arpiar is from Bucharest, Romania, where he runs the [a:rpia:r] label. Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have long recognized the brilliance of this newly burgeoning Rumanian scene, which has led to extended EPs on the Cadenza label from Petre Inspirescu, Rhadoo, etc. Forget about the ridiculous clown cover on this CD (not easy to do, no matter how fucked up you are) and enjoy one of the most minimal and inventive mix CDs of 2008. It's like Villalobos at 7:00 A.M., minus just a bit of the "three sheets to the wind" worldview. Artists include: Cezar, Petre Inspirescu, Praslea, Atbash, Jens Zimmermann, Mica Publicitate, Brothers' Vibe, Mara Trax, Herodot, Pedric, Robert Dietz, Simitli, Matthias Tanzmann, Two Armadillos, Sascha Dive, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Seth N Shaun, Hermannstadt Collective, Rhadoo, Markus Fix, Minimono, Cabanne, Brother's Vibe, and Luna City Express.

On volume three, residents/mixers Thomas Melchior (Perlon, Playhouse, Cadenza) and Matthias Tanzmann (Moon Harbour) present their musical take on club DC 10. Once again, ridiculously garish Ibiza-clown cover artwork should not dissuade you from one of the year's more dominating minimal-techno mix sets (only a shade below the Arpiar in this series). Just check the track list. And really, even 7-year-old candy ravers know that jack-in-the-box clowns are beyond passé.

Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MHR 010CD

This is the third volume in Moon Harbour's Inhouse compilation series, mixed by Martinez. More than just simply packed with new and exclusive tracks from Moon Harbour artists and friends, this label compilation also includes landmarks which connect a contemporary sound with a look to the future by giving a mouth-watering taste 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 its artists receiving global acclaim and booking for gigs far and wide. Inhouse Vol. 3 ranges from classical house through to the current sound of the club-scene, in which the borders between techno, minimal and house are becoming more and more blurred. The compilation seamlessly combines tracks by 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 label's 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 also for the label itself. Other artists include: Reboot, Agnès, Johnny D, and Dot.

Title:	Hello From Planet Earth
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MHR 011CD

This is the debut full-length release from Berlin's Luna City Express. For 10 years now, Norman Weber and Marco Resmann have been living out their love for house together both at the turntables and in the studio as Luna City Express. At 14, Weber heard his first Chicago house mix on tape -- a musical revelation and the beginning of his subsequent career. Resmann discovered electronic music in the early '90s in a friend's basement studio where he first started delving into drum machines and synthesizers. In 1999 he set up his Audiogain studio and established himself as a producer, producing as a solo artist under the pseudonym Phage and also in projects like Pan/Pot or Phage & Daniel Dreier, releasing on labels like Mobilee, Klang Elektronik and Highgrade. In 2007, he founded the label Upon You with Marcus Meinhardt and Hawks Grunert. At a millennium party in Italy, Norman and Marco crossed paths for the first time and clicked immediately -- two house nerds had found each other. When Norman moved from Jena to Berlin, they began to play as a DJ team, organizing their own parties and producing their first tracks together, a mixture of downbeat, trip-hop and deep house. Beside remixes and releasing on labels like Justified Cause and Enliven Music, Moon Harbour has truly become the home of Luna City Express, and at the same time, they've played an essential part in developing the label's sound. Hello From Planet Earth brings together 13 outstanding tracks -- from techno to experimental, going from euphoric to quiet moments. It's an eclectic album that isn't just for the club, all held together by the unique Luna City Express house vibe.

Title:	The Paradigm Shift
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MHR 012CD

This is the third album by Denmark's Martinez. Throughout his career Martin Schwanstein 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, focusing 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 dancefloor house sound; however, 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, and 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 you see Martinez DJ, his many years of experience become obvious -- he simply knows how to set a club on fire. The Paradigm Shift is unique in having mastered the balancing act between dancefloor rhythm and home-listening quality. His organic sound combines all elements such as dense beats and jazzy chords so well, the listener is convinced that all of these are cast from the same mold. 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 explosive at all the right moments.

Title:	Ten Years Of Moon Harbour
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MHR 013CD

It's 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 its 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. Matthias Tanzmann then 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, Santos and Arado & Marco Faraones have reinforced the label's reputation. Not content to just make the records, Moon Harbour showcases have become renowned for building great parties with excellent music, provided by DJs who are part of a musical family. Ten Years Of Moon Harbour features a disc of ten exclusive tracks, plus a bonus CD of Moon Harbour essentials mixed by Tanzmann. Other artists on this compilation include Boris Werner, Simon Flower, Krüger & Manowski, Peter Dildo,Leif & Tom Ellis, Michal Ho, Lil' Dirty, Audio Werner, Johnny D, Seuil, Samim, Agnès and Luna City Express (feat. Sigrid Elliot).

Title:	Circoloco - The Next Level
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MHR 014CD

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. Since 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 of 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 - The Next Level; the perfect accompaniment for the summer and the new Circoloco season. Artists include: Luca Bacchetti, Carola Pisaturo, Marcin Czubala, Catz'n'Dogz, Audiofly, Nikola Gala, Dan Drastic, Sven Tasnadi & Juno6, Nil By Mouth, Dragosh, Guti, BNZO, Blind Minded, Italoboyz, Adam Port, Daniel Wilde, Matthew Dear, Sascha Dive, Martinez, Luna City Express.

Title:	Restless Remixes No. 1
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 036EP

Remix artists from newcomers to big names re-do tracks off of Matthis Tanzmann's full-length Restless. Guido Schneider's version of "Crazy Circus" displays his typical atmospheric sound design, without losing its drive towards the dancefloor. Peter Dildo takes the smooth dubbiness of "Swim" and builds up amazing chords and a fantastic groove for a relaxing house remix. Boris Werner from the 100% Pure/Remote Area crew from Amsterdam finishes off with a burner -- definitely a new talent to monitor.

Artist:	DRASTIC, DAN
Title:	Slice Of Life
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 038EP

Moon Harbour cannot be imagined without Daniel Faulwasser aka Dan Drastic behind the scenes. "Slice of Life" starts flirting with dub effects and a gracefully-built rhythm. Little-by-little, an African choir moves over, which affects the track on the second half after the break, without dominating it. Johnny D remixes, with only a few sounds and a hypnotic rhythm. The vocals emerge subtly, the percussive beat operates in the foreground, once more measuring the limits of contemporary house music.

Artist:	MARTINEZ
Title:	Momomowha...
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 039EP

Copenhagen-based DJ and producer Martinez reflects the typical Scandinavian club sound that captivates by both its deepness and its clarity and this is reflected on his Moon Harbour debut. "Momomowha..." is an impulsive techno track, with various house elements. The beat pushes forward undeviatingly as vocal samples loop through the whole track, adding a funky touch. "Day By Day" is more obviously rooted in house music with a twisted beat that pushes forward against warm chords -- Martinez's deeper side.

Artist:	SEUIL
Title:	Musm
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 043EP

Alexis Benard aka Seuil dishes up 3 top-notch house tracks for Moon Harbour. "Musm" has a sharply-accented rhythm, underlined by a catchy vocal sample. A rising trumpet fanfare shows off Seuil's feel for the dancefloor. "Unexpected Night" is a builder. During the breakdown, a half-dissonant, half-driving sound emerges, giving the track a new dynamic. "Ohohah" builds on an elegant bass line and reveals a friskier side to Seuil, while still capturing his catchy, deep and funky style.

Artist:	SANTOS
Title:	Hold Home
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 044EP

"Hold Home" by Italian producer Santos has been causing mayhem in the sets of DJs like Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice and Timo Maas, and it is officially released by Moon Harbour. This is a classic house track -- elegant, hypnotic and timeless -- based on a short sample-loop of beats, chords, and a distinctive vocal sample. Luna City Express add percussion, deepness, and their own vocal sample, giving the track a new flow with more soul, geared to the dancefloor.

Artist:	MARTINEZ, SEUIL, MATTHIAS TANZMANN
Title:	Moon Harbour Joints Vol. 1
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 045EP

Matthias Tanzmann invited Copenhagen's Martinez and Frenchman Seuil into the studio for what ended up being a very fruitful couple of recording sessions, starting with this first volume in the Moon Harbour Joints series. Martinez and Tanzmann roll out the tightly arranged "Ohh I Don't Know," characterized by impulsive beats, rhythmic chords and engaging vocal samples, all adding up to make a unique funk that's direct, authentic and deep. On the flip, Tanzmann and Seuil build upon several layered vocal samples, resulting in a deeper, more laid back affair.

Artist:	TANZMANN, MATTHIAS
Title:	Chano
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 046EP

Matthias Tanzmann presents two versions of "Chano," demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade. The original concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully-placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole. The "Second Mix" 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.

Artist:	LUNA CITY EXPRESS
Title:	Hello From Planet Earth Remixes Vol. 1
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 048EP

Norman Weber and Marco Resmann aka Luna City Express present a remix 12" of tracks from their 2009 album Hello From Planet Earth. Mathias Kaden's remix of "Diamonds & Pearls" experiments with the e-piano snippets from the original track, supported by an ambitiously grooving beat. Ray Okpara's remix strips "Celebration Of Life" down to its essence: the groove. Catz 'N Dogz take care of the humorous "Mr. Jack," placing the vocals up front, like an instrument.

Artist:	LUNA CITY EXPRESS
Title:	Hello From Planet Earth Remixes Vol. 2
Label:	MOON HARBOUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MHR 049EP

This is the second volume of remixes from Luna City Express' Hello From Planet Earth (MHR 011CD). Robag Wruhme's version of "Mr. Jack" is a mix of funk and darkness that has an overwhelming effect on the dancefloor. Reboot stripped the strong percussion of "Parish Fair" down to the basics, focusing more on an elaborate development of the break. Martinez' remix of "Time & Space" fuses organic beats with the original theme, as if they were made for each other.
