Hello Everyone, and welcome to the first exclusive Progcast from 2022. We continue with our quest to find those perfect progressive beats, so wether you're new to this or a frequent flyer, strap in tight!

Our first mix of the year sees us land in England, and the home of a seasoned rave veteran. With over 25 years industry knowledge to his name, and a CV that writes itself, PFG are proud to kick off a hopefully brighter year.... with MOONFACE!

Deeply entrenched with more than 30 years in the music industry, MOONFACE is transcendent with hope and positivity, his online catalog growing with a stack of releases, remixes and DJ compilations.

His exposure to the superstars saw Sasha choosing “U Get So Give” for his legendary E-Mix in 2000, and then John Digweed signing “Futurized Fears/Overactive" as a double A side for his then brand new Bedrock label. Following this came a mini album, "BETWEEN WORLDS" sold out globally way before the dawn of the internet!

Many top DJs from Burridge, Pappa, Howells, Tenaglia, Cattaneo and Cox supported the MOONFACE sound back in the golden age of dance music, and it was Danny Howells who Phil took over from as Bedrock resident. For 5 years he warmed up in London and Brighton! 

Phil was also touring the globe, playing at many festivals and events while flying the MOONFACE flag. Hot spots in Bali, Japan, Russia, Eastern Europe, Georgia, Malta, and South America. He also held up a long-term residency at the legendary Decadance club Thessaloniki, Greece.

Then came his more recent single "Across the Gulf of Space" released on Bedrock 18 -Signals compilation.  Along came releases, remixes and label compilations for Krafted, Tulipa, Gibbon and Mirabilis, Wolf Trap & Mind-warp, to add to his already glittering back catalog. June 2019 was the most recent mixed compilation, called "FREAKIN’ PROGRESSIVE VOL.1" on label Freakin303.

2020 sees Phil continue to host his FUTURIZED monthly show on Frisky Radio plus presenting his vinyl only live streams via YouTube whenever he's in the mood. December 2020 saw Phil self-releasing for the first time his new double album exclusively on Bandcamp called "PUSHOVER MANKIND". A collection of 8 weird abstract chill out style tracks, and 8 dance floor underground style tracks.  

In 2021 Phil and other Krafted DJs had a show on Radio 1's "Wind down zone" with Paul Sawyer. Then in April John Digweed aired his 5th transitions show (866) featuring only Moonface productions and remixes gaining over 14,000 listens.  One track included called "U Have to Change" was supported by John Digweed in his DJ sets, then went on to be remixed by Nick Muir taking it in a new dance floor direction.

Towards the end of 2021 he started a new monthly Livestream called MOONFACE Plus DJ Mates, featuring Phil's DJ/Producer friends, over on YT, Twitch & Mixcloud. ENJOY THE MIX!
