Joal - Zola EP - Moodmusic Records
Release Date 23.4.2021

1. Zola Is Sleeping
2. Allez für die Katz
3. Red Orange
4. Abomination
5. Tell Their Story

With open hands we welcome Joal to MMR for his first solo release, the ‚Zola EP‘.

Consisting of 5 original works from the Berlin based Portuguese, we believe Joal is on top of his game with this fine offering.

The EP goes from smooth, electronic deep house themes of the titletrack ‚Zola Is Sleeping‘ to the sinister and melodic ‚Red Oranges‘ with nuances of Indie Dance, Electro and EBM inbetween. Another sure shot from Joal !

Tim Sean-Lee presents ElectronicBodyMusic Vol.2

As a taster of the upcoming Jepe album 'Midnight In Venus' we present you 'Original Sin'.

epe announces his 2nd album 'Midnight in Venus' for Moodmusic with the first single 'Artur nimmt ein heisses Bad' with a collaboration with Quattrovalvole, who also delivers the soothing vocals on 'Arthur...'

As the album takes us on a cosmic journey through the Solar System, Jepe is the captain of the intergalactic spaceship and leaves no one behind.

If you look for any positive outcome from the past year, Jepe went instead of a lockdown on an imagery interstellar ride. Every night after the boring techno capitol went to bed, Jepe took on his helmet and rode the magic carpet out to the stars and played with the keyboard gods til the early morning, before slumbering into a few earned hours sleep before family duties and the new normality kicked in again.

Midnight in Venus became what it became of despair, an escape of loneliness and fury. From the first note you can hear there is positivity in the musical DNA of Jepe.
Enjoy !

Jepe - U, Me Eternity (from album Midnight In Venus)

On the 3rd release 'Those Things EP' the proto retro label Freestye Man Records showcases 3 slices of 90s studio work from Klas Lindblad from his productive era in Turku.

The EP starts with 'Freels', a production from -94 with an organic NY house feel inspired by early Nu Groove & 8-Ball Records. Following is 'Things You Do For Me' from -97 with a more stripped down, almost minimal deep house feel which would fit into the Jersey EP era of Turku House.

Closing the EP is the banging 'One For Abe' which is pure 90s after hour wild pitch slaughter, hypnotic and far-out, it's a perfect end to the adventurous release.

Freestyle Man - Those Things EP (snippets)

25 Years Moodmusic, Pt 1
1. Freestyle Man - This Side Of The Moog (Aera Remix)
2. Kiki & Sasse - Belvedere (Jepe Remix)

Out OCTOBER 22 2021 on Moodmusic Records

Moodmusic Records turns 25 years in 2021 and we have some goodies for you for the next months with a series of EPs which finalise with a full compilation at the end of the year.

Part 2 consist of 2 old friends of the label, Henrik Schwarz and Filippo Moscatello, who joins Sasse on the flipside.

Henrik delivers his first new material for the label since some years and we are overwhelmed. 'At Third Place' has Henriks trademark sound written all over it, dance floor efficiency combined with his roots of Jazz and Soul, making this a standout piece on his long and adventurous catalogue which started in 2003 on his first ever 12" on Moodmusic.

Filippo Moscatello and Sasse takes the route up to La La Land with '303 Day', an excursion to 303 driven deep house inspired dance floor madness, with a hint or two towards classic twin-town hits of the 90s.

Rise 1969 aka William Mahfoud is a UK-born, Lebanese based musician, producer and engineer who has been closely associated with Berlin's Blackhead Studios and Moodmusic in the past years. Spending a 6 months scholarship in the Berlin based studio, the groundwork for his debut album Floating Memory was laid. The concept was to collaborate with local talent, friends and likeminded musicians and melt the experience in Berlin to his UK-roots as well as the vivid art-scene in Beirut.

Some of the artist he collaborated with are known from the Moodmusic roster like Tim Sean-Lee, Freestyle Man and his earlier singles (Magnetic Beast / Falling Angel) have already showed a glimpse of the project. Now we present you the full length Floating Memory project with further collaborations with Anna Schreit, Phyllis Josephine, Scarlett Shaad and s.soo.

‘They Say’ proved a big hit for Moodmusic in 2015, so they have enlisted a great team of people to remix it for their next release. The original is by Alessio Pagliaroli feat. Jinadu, but here Anthony Georges Patrice, Jonas Saalbach & Chris Robin and Alexander Maier all flip it into their own vital versions.

Up first is Anthony Georges Patrice, a Paris based producer who takes his love of many musical forms, from soul to jazz, and layers them into his house productions. Here he elevates his ‘They Say’ remix into heady and hypnotic territory, with smooth, elongated grooves imbued with languorous chords, trancelike bell sounds and subtly rumbling bass. The result is a perfectly serene cut that will have floors marching as one.

Jonas Saalbach & Chris Robin are up next, a pair who have history on labels such as Einmusika, and Bedrock. Their sound is sultry, seductive and deep, and never more so than on this excellent remix. Leaving the crisp but forlorn vocals in place, they colour it with retro synth sounds and lumpy rubber drums and ensure that hearts will swell whenever it gets dropped as a result.

Lastly, Alexander Maier is another long time member of the Moodmusic family. He is a talented German who also works with Thomas Saris as Basic (Operators) and has put out music on Compost, Hypercolour and more. His dub version is a terrific ten minute opus with modulated synths gurgling away above slick boom-bap drums and perc. The whole thing roams free, taking you up and down with it and forever tunnelling deeper into the darkened night as acid lines and chords grow ever more wild.

This package breathes some great new life into the original and is sure to be another winning release for Moodmusic.

After his well received and well charted ‘The Poem’ in 2014, Benny Grauer now returns to Sasse’s Moodmusic with his excellent ‘Falling EP’ complete with remixes from Markus Homm and Moodmusic’s very own Affect!.
Benny Grauer is known for his Deep Circus imprint, and the German also has a fine reputation for crafting classy house and techno on labels like Blue Fin and Poker Flat Recordings. Here he serves up two more top tunes that are sure to get plenty of airtime this summer.
The fantastic ‘Falling’ opens things up with six minutes of slick and atmospheric deep house. Powered by upright kicks and filled out with some spacious, widescreen synths, it is a subtle cut that has a rousing and frazzled set of chords growing in stature from the mid point. Hands will surely be in the air come the arresting second half.
The other fine original from Grauer is ‘Other End,’ a patient and slow burning cut that bubbles up and over thanks to some more fine synth work. The beats are rolling, rugged and rich and invite you to lose yourself in them as your head latches onto the spooky synths.
Highgrade and Act Natural veteran Markus Homm then steps up to tackle ‘Falling’ with real skill. He does so with a more dubby style, layering in wobbling bass and smooth hits as well as big, dramatic bass strokes that really elevate the groove.
Last but not least, label regular Affect! again draws on his classical instrumental background to cook up a stirring remix of ‘Other End.’ His slick version is filled with a subtle sense of menace, brooding bass and late night mischief.
Once more, then, Moodmusic has come up with the same moving deep house goods that have made it such an essential label for 20 years now.

Kiki & Ed Ed - Day Of Drones (Camea Remix)- Moodmusic Records

E&P is the new project of Edmond Weinfeld aka Ed Ed and Petja Virikko. The duo had a certain idea to produce an afterhours tune with emotional content. The result is a cooperation with Jinadu from London who changes his game and delivers a westcoast style vocal which is much deeper then his usual vocals. The lyrics describes a past relationship that still lingers in your head although its long gone. The beats and music frame in this  deep melodic tune that will lighten up any afterhour event that it gets to be played.

On remix duties none other than Olderic, Manoo and Sasse

vö: 1.5.2020

3. Vision I (Roberto Rodriguez Remix)
4. Vision II (Joal Remix)

Moodmusic invites Kandovan to unleash 2 original works with remixes from Roberto Rodriguez and Joal. Kandovan is project from Iranian born Sam Farsio and Arnold Misquitta aka AFM.

Sam Farsio is active in the Dubai music scene and has been a driving force in the city for the past years. He collaborated with MMR already in the past under his solo name for the Eclectic compilation from label head Sasse. AFM hails from India, his name is now a household one in the genre of electronica not only around his home country but across continents.

Vision I & II rely heavily on the Italo vibe of the mid 80s, elevated by new top notch modern production and swirly synthesiser work. 

Roberto Rodriguez drops in some house honey to the cocoon and transforms the Vision I in to a dark, yet uplifting peak time driver. 

Joal transforms Vision II into a darker, more electro tingled belter with uplifting keys and seismic bass.
