Matthias Tanzmann i-D Magazine Podcast March 2015

Following his 3rd release on IAHG titled ‘True Definition’ that came out just two weeks ago, the hugely popular Belgium-based DJ/Producer Ramon Tapia, returns to the Gangstercast series this week for episode 63. 

With tinges of his Latin background lacing his percussion sections and his Dutch/Belgian heritage providing the basis for his hard-grooving Techno template, his sound is one that mixes organic, tribal rhythm and syncopation and electronic machinations to potent effect. 

Ramon first joined I’m A House Gangster in 2013 with his ‘Intense EP’, followed by the massive ‘House Assignment Vol.1’ in 2014, and after providing us with one of the early episodes of the Gangstercast at the start of the series two years ago, we felt the time was right to bring back Ramon, as one of our biggest IAHG players for a second Gangstercast mix.
 
Prepare to hear all 3 original tracks from his latest EP ‘True Definition’ featured within this mix! 

Ramon describes the House Gangster sound as “Boom tchack Tsss Tsss and hey Hooooo Heyyy hooo,”and describing his own IAHG sound as a “jacking, grooving, family affair!”

In Ramon's words, the House Gangster movement is all about "one love, one family" and we can't argue with that!

RAMON TAPIA | GANGSTERCAST 63

Five cuts of pure minimal dark glitch: Latch Capsule A/B mini-mixes, the core Servo Latch in Main Cut + Sublevel Mix, plus the standalone Blacklight Latch. No pads. No pop. Just pressure

Blacklight Latch (Isolated Take)

4Moon Music presents “I’m Fine” — a deep, emotional journey through contrast and pulse. Built around haunting vocals, atmospheric textures, and a hypnotic groove, the original mix blends vulnerability with dance-floor strength — a soundtrack for those who say “I'm fine” even when the heart tells another story.

This release includes three unique interpretations:

✨ 7Gray delivers a tension-driven and cinematic take with powerful synth movement and dramatic progression.
🌫️ Eclept brings a darker, introspective energy — sharp rhythms, shadowy pads, and delicate emotional pressure.
🌅 Dynamic Dreamers transform the track into a dreamy late-night ride with nostalgic melodies and shimmering layers.

Each version offers a fresh perspective, forming a complete emotional spectrum — from quiet inner battles to euphoric release.
A must-have pack for selectors who love depth, mood, and storytelling on the dancefloor.

For all of Matthias Tanzmann’s achievements, the future is showing even further excitement and evolutionary growth. He is known as a global leader of the Tech House scene and is synonymous with Moon Harbour, his influential and soon-to-be 25-year-old record label that has already put out over 100 vinyl releases and more than 200 digital tracks. Like Matthias who first broke through as a DJ at the end of the 1990s, it constantly evolves, adapts and leads the scene from the front. 

Both he and Moon Harbour have stayed true to the signature sound that first stood him apart. They never fail to bring new ideas to the dance floor and constantly evolve with the culture. Along the way, there have been countless seminal moments. From his early residency at Leipzig’s cult Distillery Club to his first releases on Steve Bug’s Dessous label and Freude Am Tanzen in 1998 and 1999 via the infamous Moon Harbour showcases at major events including Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event, Barcelona’s 'Off Sonar' and the leading clubs of Ibiza over the last 20 years. Furthermore he is an integral collaborative member of the super group, Better Lost Than Stupid, alongside Davide Squillace and Martin Buttrich. This ground-breaking trio performs all over the world from London, Ibiza, Miami to Dubai. Together they released the acclaimed full length album Wild Slide and accompanying remix album. 

Whenever he plays, Matthias locks his global audience into his winding and hypnotic grooves for hours on end, always ramping up the pressure and keeping dancers on their toes. He has consistently performed as a resident for almost 15 years at Ibiza's wildest and the most cutting-edge Circoloco party at DC10. He also plays in demand back-to-back sets with partner in crime Davide Squillace and is regarded as one of the favourite players at the infamous ANTS events at Ushuaia Ibiza. In between those regular gigs and picking up several DJ Award nominations, he is on a constant tour of the world's most celebrated clubs and events from Elrow to Solid Grooves to Music On. 

Founded in 2000 and followed by sub-label Cargo Edition in 2006, Moon Harbour Recordings has been a vehicle for much of his music over the years, though it has also been responsible for bringing through plenty of next-generation talents. Matthias Tanzmann has served up three solo albums on his own label - Restless in 2008, Momentum in 2016 and the far-reaching Round And Round album in 2019. Each one shows how he brings colour and narrative to his music through the careful layering of percussion and the teasing out of deft sound designs to make for moments of real dance floor drama. Whether working solo or in collaboration with the likes of Steve Bug, Black Circle or Daniel Stefanik, the key for Matthias is to never stop evolving, asking questions and exploring new ground. Furthermore as a keen contributor to the industry and passing on to the new generation, Matthias shared his vast knowledge with a unique production masterclass in collaboration with Mixmasters in Ibiza in 2023.

As a remixer, Matthias also brings an in-demand signature sound for the likes of Jamie Jones, Dennis Cruz, Moby or Booka Shada. His Remixes 2002-2012 compilation showcased his adeptness and adaptability, and he has further cemented his legacy as a definitive DJ with seminal mix CDs for revered series like Cavo Paradiso Mykonos in 2010, Circoloco in 2008 and 2011, fabric London in 2012, and several times for Moon Harbour.

What started as an obsessive hobby back in Leipzig became a globe-trotting profession. Importantly, though, Matthias Tanzmann has always retained the sense of fun and inquisition that motivated him back then. That shows in the tracks he continues to skillfully craft, whether deep and moody for cozy backrooms, or more raw and jacked up for the main room. From his sets to his productions via the music he A&Rs for Moon Harbour, Matthias Tanzmann blends a deep understanding of dance music dynamics with a burning desire to keep things moving forward.
