Next up we have London-based and all round lovely chap, JustHenry.   

Henry has his own YouTube channel (very, very good btw) which he dedicates to sharing music from his own multi-genre collection that’s yet to be released online. In his own words, it’s his way of giving back to the online digging community that’s provided him with such great music over the years. Lovely stuff.

It’s a real pleasure for MHR to bring you Henry’s debut podcast mix ‘Deep Down in the Dub’. A Ronseal title for a mix that provides exactly what it says on the tin. 

Plenty more from us over the coming months, but for now - get your ears round this one and show him some love!

Archives, a new series presenting the sound of DJs and artists at Moment events, is proud bring you our 5th installment. This episode features Endurance, a Canadian-born, Osaka-based ambient musician. As a Moment organizer and label curator at the incredible Muzan Editions, Endurance has become one of the key figures in electronic music in Osaka, introducing more and more techno fans to ambient - and vice versa.
At last year's Moment, we asked Endurance to provide sound for the Shimenawa ceremony (tying of the sacred knot) that opened the festival. This ceremony symbolizes the strengthening of the bonds between us and was intended to purify the dancefloor. Using locally sourced field recordings and carefully sculpted electronic soundscapes, Endurance's set laid the ground for all the music to come, transporting listeners to unexplored sonic realms. We hope this installment in our series offers a glimpse into that special moment.
