Moon Harbour marks its historic 20th anniversary with a 10-track compilation of all new music. It features old friends like Marlow and Luna City Express, icons like Steve Bug and Butch and new signings like Black Circle, so it is a fine representation of the label's famous sound. 

Matthias Tanzmann founded Moon Harbour in 2000, and since then it has been at the forefront of the tech house scene. Even in the face of the major shift from vinyl to digital, a distributor going bankrupt and the coronavirus pandemic, careful A&R and Matthias's own productions have ensured the label has remained utterly relevant. The Leipzig label has released countless EPs, LPs and compilations and hosted label showcases all over the world. It has nurtured the careers of artists like Sable Sheep and Ekkohaus and has given a vital platform to new stars like Miane, Detlef and many more. 

"Evolution is a natural process and important to artists as well as to labels," explains Matthias. "Music is always redefined and subject to trends. New generations of musicians want to create their own identities through their sound. As a label, we listen to a lot of new music and try to stay open-minded within our own aesthetic range."

After a year of re-releasing classics from the label's back catalogue, the 20 Years of Moon Harbour compilation is all about fresh and exclusive music. It kicks off with Andrea Oliva's 'Return To The Dancefloor,' a bumping cut driven by naughty bass before raw percussive energy from ANEK and tense cosmic melody Black Circle. Butch layers up tribal grooves and exotic vocals, then Luna City Express mark the mid-point with the steamy house of 'Mami Wata' featuring Sunru's soulful vocals. 

Marlow throws it back with some old school piano energy on 'Corktown,' Matthias nails a perfectly slinky tech house groove on 'Binford' and Ninetoes' 'Polanco Hills' ups the pace and drives forwards. Closing out is the punchy and stripped back house of Steve Bug's 'Going Up' and Sven Tasnadi's loopy and hypnotic 'Cuckoo.'

This essential collection is further proof that Moon Harbour continues to shape the sound of contemporary European house music. Here's to the next 20 years.

Ronnie Spiteri brings some new, serious summer heat on his own Kenja Records imprint. The Southampton local has been busy during lockdown, working on a heap of new music for his own imprint, with some class collabs and remixes to add to the mix. After the first gig back at Fabric this last weekend, 2021 looks to be shaping up nicely for the humble house producer. 'All I Need' delivers pure peak time pleasure as one would expect from the exciting UK based DJ/producer. Expect serious bass synth filth action here, driven by a pounding kick, tight percussion and sweet female vocal. Class. A proper banger! 'Relentless' is the flip side, AA side nugget that goes deeper into tech as it layers lush pads, a shuffling techy groove another wicked vocal. On remix duties is none other than Josh Butler! World-class in every way his remix is groovy, a journey into deep tech with super tight percussion, a funky bassline, rolling percussion and trippy fx'd pads. Essential Kenja listening for the summer ahead.

PREMIERE: Ronnie Spiteri - All I Need (Josh Butler Remix) [Kenja Records]

Italian tech house titan Davide Squillace makes his full Moon Harbour debut with a fantastic new single that follows a number of remixes on the label over the years. 

This And That label boss and Circoloco hero Squillace has been a core part of the global house underground for many years. His sets are legendary, his productions never fail to make their mark and his friendship with Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann goes back decades and includes them working together with Martin Buttrich as part of the Better Lost Than Stupid supergroup. 

Squillace shows his skills once more on 'Smart Dance Stupid Floor,' a high intensity track that keeps on building. The crisp drum programming is turbocharged and constantly evolving. It is overlaid with sweeping filters, textured hits and twisted vocal loops that all add up to a fiery and unrelenting groove for the peak of the night.

Matthias Tanzmann, Steve Bug - Resilience [Moon Harbour]

Few labels have established themselves as solidly and definitively as Matthias Tanzmann and André Quaas’ Moon Harbour. Since the turn of the millennium it has been a bastion of deep and tech house quality that has not moved with the times, but has defined them ahead of trend. Through a carefully curated series of EPs and LPs, the label has fomented its own close-knit family that expands and contracts with careful consideration.
