Project: Mooncircle & @FinestEgo have teamed up to establish a fresh new 12” producer series, entitled “Faces”. On every edition, you will find two different producers. Respectively, each producer will have their own record-side and unique cover artwork by the aspiring Bioniq, known for his surrealistic portraits, blending humans and elements of technology.

The fifth edition of our "Faces" series comes with double the amount of producers as usually. One side we find Greek brothers and production duo @Tendts while the other side is shared by the two young artists @Daixie and @HanamiUK, from Australia and the UK respectively.

- gnothi seauton | nosce the ipsum -

The oldest masks are more than 9000 years old and have been a part of earliest ritual ceremonies. 
A mask disguises our true emotion and can also give the impression of fake feelings or make us appear emotionless. Strangely contrasted like the painted face of a clown, we appear sad and happy simultaneously. Moods and temper change rapidly, while there is nothing visible on the outside. We reflect ourselves in the image of others, project our ambitions and wishes but also fears into them, caring more about our perception by others until we don't recognize our own image in the mirror anymore, instead of focusing on self-awareness and knowledge of self.

Where is the thin line between the truth and a lie? Do we all wear invisible masks during our everyday life? A story fractured into million pieces of a puzzle, waiting to be put back together.

If you were an idea, would you be a static one? An idea that never changes ?
An idea that tends to become something else ? An idea that becomes an obsession?
An idea can be an object, can be a sentence or just one word.
“Tendts“. What kind of word is that ? Could it be two words merged into one ? Or was it one from the beginning ? Let’s just say that the idea behind the word came up when two people were writing music in a room. In this particular room the only window that had a view of the outside world was always blocked by a rusty, dusty tent. Was this annoying tent worth becoming their artistic totem ? Maybe. But the one thing sure needed was a change. They had to transform the word into something else. They had to add something else. One letter. 
Tent. Tend. TENDTS.

Hertfordshire based producer 'Hanami' is set to stir things up in the coming months for the UK electronic music scene.
Now moving away from his days of working in a live electro band, Ryan Newton has decided to embark on an ambitious solo project. A direction that he has been meaning to pursue for some time. Whilst still keeping the use of sampled instruments and drum sequencers he is looking to bring a new lease of life to the increasingly generic sounds the scene continues to produce as the music becomes more popular.

Only 19 years of age and only producing for seven months now, Alex Xie, alias Daixie, is a young producer from Australia with a Chinese and Cambodian background. While drawing influences from many artists, his main inspiration comes from nature and his everyday personal interactions. His music, based heavily on field recordings, is a way of expressing his emotions – something that he has trouble doing in his day to day life. It is his release which allows him to feel more deeply about things he can not express by other means.

Bioniq is an artwork designer, DJ and producer from St. Petersburg in cold Russia and Project: Mooncircle’s special KGB agent. With his drawings he aims to create new horizons on paper and draws inspiration from historic tales, events of the present age but also possibilities the future might hold.

Limited 12” vinyl for serious collectors, DJ’s and record addicts only!

Lyrics:

Oh! Your eyes, caught me by surprise
Like the bay, and the rocks on which you lay
And forever you'll be all I need

Oh! Your tongue lures like a siren's song
For your adore, I'd gladly greet the ocean floor
                 'Cos forever you'll be all I need

For you Elizabeth
I will go down, and down, and down
And around again

As you stand right there
And wind blows through your auburn hair
You draw near, and whisper into my ear

Now and forever you'll be all I need

For our love we will
go down, and down, and down, and down
We’ll go around, and 'round, and 'round
You will dive right down, and down, and down
Like the rest of them

LYRICS

Ever since the rain I’ve been waking on my own
Left an empty space in a home we built to grow
Watching waves at night I fell into the blue
I guess I lost the light, now I’ve given all my love to you

I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you

Ever since the rain I’ve been living days too slow
Lie around and wait for a heart I used to know
They say that over time there’ll be nothing left to lose
But I still can’t find the light, I’ve given all my love to you

I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you

In the night when I’m dreaming
Oh I know your body’s next to mine
In the dark I can feel it
Don’t you tell me I’m dreaming

Won’t you stay with me?

I think I'm going crazy
You said to leave later
Don't know about you but I can feel it in this room

Let's fall a little deeper
I know you're not a keeper
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

It's 4 in the morning
You've caught me in a moment
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

And all of our reason
Lost to deceiving
Ooh I tried to make it thru

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru
Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Sky's reaching out I want it
To take us back home again
And all of your holding on
it's getting lost in my head

And oh, your love is 
All I wanted to save

Don't know about you but I can feel it thru and thru

Thru

Look back
To when midnights broke their sleep
Awake in our memories
Of when we would make believe

Collide
Colors of the masquerade
Watch as they fall away
Faceless under faces made

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

Turn back
I see rivers beyond the line
Ancient roads in broken design
Angels running thru our minds

Look up
Your city's built on marble floors
Neon lights in the falling snow
Those night back in tokyo

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

I Won't

A-side from my forthcoming EP called 'Sweat'.

Have a listen to the B-side below
https://soundcloud.com/sailorandi/sailor-i-disorder

After releasing his debut single via UK taste-maker electronic label Black Butter, which went on to receive extensive airplay on all BBC Stations in the UK and support throughout Europe, the Swedish singer, multi instrumentalist and producer went on to release the next single "Turn Around" via Italian electronic label Life & Death. The single, accompanied by the original track "Boys & Girls" and remix by German producer duo Âme, soon made its way across dancelfoors and sets across the globe.

"In a lot of ways I escape in music," explains Sjodin. "It's a world where I feel home, where life is quite easy, where I can explore sides of me I didn't knew existed."

As the string-swept power balladry of "Tough Love" bleeds into the beatific melodrama of last year's "Turn Around", the tense, slow-burning summit of "Sweat" rises. The latter is Sailor & I's latest deep cut, the lead-off listen from an EP that also manages to turn a classic Joy Division track ("Disorder") on its head. Faithfully mind you, as a blank, drum-less canvas is coated in cold-pressed keys and a strictly '80s setup.

"I'm a bit terrified by the force of music," explains Sjodin, "and what it turns me into in the long run. Will it slow down eventually or will it go the other direction and make me insane? I have no idea, but I feel that it’s very important to keep exploring what is behind those invisible doors."

Press Release
Danish four-piece Yung prepare for their UK festival debut this Friday, with new single ‘Blanket’ - the perfect follow up to their March Alter EP and another glimpse at the band’s ability to mix brash, persuasive Nordic punk with a rare sense of rhythm and melody.

Announcing their arrival with ‘Nobody Cares’ at the start of 2015, Yung released their international debut through Tough Love Records in March, which, in addition to selling out its limited run of vinyl ahead of release, drew comparisons to acts like the Replacements, Ty Segall and Jay Reatard, and saw them pick up acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, 6Music, Radio 1, DIY, Stereogum and NME, amongst many others.

This followed with the band making their debut UK live shows, the first of which became instantly infamous after a power-cut 20 minutes before they were due to go on stage at the Old Blue Last forced the band to up sticks and, in true DIY style, move the show to the Shacklewell Arms for a sold-out put-together show; Yung took to the stage just after midnight, with Toronto noise rockers METZ in attendance lending a spare hand in changing strings as the show reached a chaotic conclusion.

Formed in the summer of 2013 as a vehicle to escape the bewildering frustration of everyday life and young adulthood, the Aarhus-based group's new single, ’Blanket’, which retains the angst and feverish energy of their EP, but marks an impressive progression in production, with 20-year-old frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær making a remarkable leap forward with his songwriting too. 

Following a European tour with The Districts, Yung will be returning to the UK for shows at this week’s Great Escape festival before headlining a one-off London show on Tuesday 19th May at The Stags Head.

‘Blanket’ b/w ‘Burning Bodies’ will be released digitally and as a limited run of 500 vinyl copies through Tough Love Records on 24th July 2015, with the first 100 (available only through the Tough Love site) being a white pressing and the remaining 400 black.

Fire in the Sky

A malformed protest song and memorial for all those old school socialists and anarchists and fire raisers that have been pushed aside by the change of history and its political axis - circular folk rock verses remind us of the legacy of these prophets of arcadian utopias and the need for the spirit of the people to endure - these choruses give way to guitar duel solos as the past fights the future of the left the second of these  3 solos has a guest scrabbabang geetar screech from producer Simon Trought - his first since the days of his old group Tompaulin. The last solo has Ben's wonderfully paisley Beatles-esque backwards solo ending the EP as it began and lyrically with a note of hope that the next generation of dreamers fight apathy. When the band began over 20 years ago this Tony Benn form of labour and socialism still breathed and was still valid and we tried to write songs and manifesto that echoed these thoughts but gradually it's become archaic so this song forms a farewell to that and to one element of the groups motifs although the political side will become even more pronounced with the next record it seems pointless to continue with the outdated socialist motifs of then.

The Obsolete Significant Dignified

Cruising's debut will be released by Tough Love on 14th August 2015 in a limited edition of 300 12”, with the first 100 on hot pink vinyl. Pre-order the hot pink pressing here -  http://smarturl.it/Cruising.pinkvinyl 

Cruising are a four piece from Dublin and Belfast made up of Benni Johnston (Vocals), Claire Miskimmin (Guitar/Bass) Neil Brogan (Guitar/Bass) and Sarah Grimes (drums). With previous/ongoing experience in bands such Girls Names, September Girls, Sea Pinks and Logikparty, Cruising began in 2013 as a side project for all four.

Named for William Friedkin’s gay exploitation shocker from 1980, the debut single You Made Me Do That (taken from the killer’s line in the film) dropped in early 2014 on Soft Power records and was recorded live as it was written. Practicing sporadically and playing a string of incendiary/chaotic live shows when schedules allow, CRUISING have now miraculously recorded their debut EP proper for Tough Love. Recorded in two days in a freezing railway arch studio (Dublin’s Guerilla Studios) in January 2015, and mixed at Belfast’s Start Together, the self titled EP shows the band in various guises, morphing between popper’d up Agit-Punk (the re-recorded You Made Me Do That, Woman), psyched out post-punk (Lifting), and riff driven bangers (Safe Corridor, Cutlass, The Spectacle).

Shows in Dublin, Belfast and London TBA.

While attending Purchase College Nicole Schneit met Dan Deacon, a friend and former collaborator who once described her comforting songs as something akin to "a favorite blanket wrapped around you."  Though she played in several bands in college (including the noise jam band Ferrari with Deacon) she eventually shifted her focus to writing and recording intimate pop songs under the name Air Waves, a moniker inspired by the title of a Guided by Voices song. 

After extensive touring in support of her 2010 album Dungeon Dots, Schneit took some time off from writing.  "It was crucial for my creative process to take a step back from making music. Part of being a performer is having confidence to just be vulnerable. I needed to regain that confidence to make an album again after Dungeon Dots," she says.  The vulnerability she speaks of is part of what makes her music as Air Waves so compelling.  Even her fictional narratives employ an almost preternatural honesty that feels emotionally naked, exposed, and ultimately relatable.     

Her new album Parting Glances takes its title from the 1986 film of the same name, in which Steve Buscemi portrays a gay man navigating the difficulties of being in a relationship in Reagan-era New York.  "I've never seen a film with Steve Buscemi in it that I didn't love," says Schneit.  More than just identifying with the story, she's interested in the in the lasting effect of the parting glances we share with strangers in our everyday encounters.  She explains "You see all sorts of physical and emotional traits on the train. From people puking, making out, screaming, crying, laughing, dancing, grooming, etc.  We encounter each other in the thick of our complex lives by simply looking at each other all the time. These glances are mundane and fleeting but also powerfully intimate."  The lingering impact of those brief moments seeps into the details and imagery she delivers through her lyrics on Parting Glances.  With energizing hooks and a disarming lack of pretense, the songs on Parting Glances burn with ebullient energy and an emotionally engaging core from beginning to end.

Producers Airbird & Napolian return with single "J.Park" and details about their forthcoming debut album, Mr. Foolish - a body of work inspired by west coast dreams and east coast nightmares. On Mr. Foolish, worlds meld to create a deeply engaging blend of American House, Cosmic Funk and Hip Hop. The producers' disparate environments are uniquely present in the material: New York sensibilities cut through in Joel's melodic bass lines, astral vocals and idiosyncratic song construction, while Ian, born and bred in LA, delivers consistently cool and heavy beatscapes, surrounded by psychedelic ambience and hard focus.

Airbird & Napolian is comprised of producers Joel Ford and Ian Evans, each established artists in their own right, who have combined forces for a record on Cascine. The producers met while working on Napolian's Rejoice EP (Software) and an easy chemistry took shape. 2013 single "In The Zone" was the first official product of their collaboration, which launched to an intensely positive reception by listeners and journalists worldwide. From there, Cascine commissioned an album, and two years later Mr. Foolish was born.
