Detlef - Daxx (Original mix) - Moon Harbour

The 75th EP on Moon Harbour is one that connects the past with the present: the release is made up of three remixes and re-edits of classic tracks by label boss Matthias Tanzmann. Charged with serving up these goods are one third of Apollonia, namely Frenchman Shonky, Saved Records boss Nic Fanciulli and his brother Mark and, finally, Matthias himself updates one of his own cuts. 

That cut is 2008’s ‘Keep On’, taken from Matthias’ artist album Restless. The newer version is a tweak and tidy job that subtly injects a little more roll and slide into the original’s shuffling drums. The drunken synth sounds and infectious, never ending groove remain, but everything shines that bit brighter: dance floors will no doubt be delighted to hear this one dusted off and dropped once again.  

The next track under the spotlight is 2011’s ’Puddle Trouble’ by Matthias in collaboration with label regular Dan Drastic. English brothers and influential figures in the tech house scene, Mark and Nic Fanciulli are the ones who remix this and do so with a keen sense of rhythm. Their version hurries along in elongated rhythmic fashion with lots of wobbly synths, subtle drops and distant sirens all adding to the hypnotic and increasingly intense sense of groove. It fits in perfectly with the Moon Harbour canon and is a timely update. 

Lastly, Frenchman Shonky, who is a DC10 regular with his comrades in Apollonia and has just released his debut LP with the same outfit, edits Tanzmann & Stefanik’s ’Basic Needs’ from 2006. This one is a little more electro inclined with its restless bassline, slapping percussion and jumbled drums. Prickly and kinetic but with a bulbous bassline holding it all together, this one is perfect for those late night freak outs. 

Proving that Moon Harbour have evolved on their own terms whilst always staying true to their roots, this EP is yet another modern tech house masterclass.

David Temessi - Berghain (Spartaque Remix) [Neuhain]

Mark Reeve presents his second release on Drumcode, ‘Run Back’, a four track EP crammed with heavy hitting kick drums and his signature big basslines. The dark sounds and heavy textures are typical of Reeve and he’s showing no sign of slowing down yet. Four tracks of brooding techno, this EP is one not to be missed.

ID132 1. Carbon Electra & Olly Davis - Mussenden MASTER

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] Happy New Year! Our resolution for 2018 is to give you one release a week exclusively to our Birdfeeders. We're kicking it off with an EP from Lucati, "Whistling Duck".

-How long have you been creating music?

I've been making music for 8 years. There's a certain moment when everything clicks, like your confidence in your music, your mixing and mastering. That happened in 2017.

-What do you use to make your tracks?

I lean Ableton, and only use arrangement view. Some of my go-to plug-ins are Massive, Serum, and the Waves Suite. I love sampling old records for kicks, vocals and basslines, helps me get the idea off the ground.

-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

I discovered Dirtybird when Mr. Spock by Justin Martin & Ardalan made waves. I ran a blog at the time and remember writing a full page review full of kudos and compliments on how brilliant that House track is. Hooked ever since.

-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?

CVS would be legendary. Justin Martin would be emotional and beautiful. Bruno Furlan would be groovy as funk.

-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?

YOLO: A tale of Reincarnation

-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Dirtybird Campout 2016 left a serious mark. It was raw, dirty, and non-stop. The Martin Brothers Drum & Bass set felt like I was in movie. Can't wait to attend East Coast Campout 2018 (my brother Dateless is playing!).

-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?

If I could time travel, I'd travel back to Ryan Seacrest's office in 2007 and slap the shit out of him for even thinking about creating Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Hopefully that would persuade him to change plans and never air that drool.

-What species of bird best describes you and why?

The Duck probably fits best. I love the water, I love eating bread, and I've been with my girl for many mating seasons.

-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

Dirtybird is the Research & Development center of House music. To be apart of such a forward thinking label and community means everything to me. They have the greatest fans in the world, with the purest motives. It's all about the music. As it should be.

Following on from the success of their Gully EP at the end of summer, Leftwing & Kody return to Moon Harbour with another firing collection of club cuts. 

This esteemed UK pairing have become synonymous with big, characterful and attention-grabbing house and tech tracks on labels like Suara, Relief and Truesoul. They are party starting DJ favourites across Europe and Ibiza, and always get maximum muscle in their beats. Their second offering on Moon Harbour proves that point once again. 

First up is the standout ‘Detuned,’ a raved-up number with busy claps and blasts of siren that will get hands in the air. Freaky bird-like sounds and roaming bass all suck you into this kinetic groove. Equally compelling is ‘Rock That’, with a snaking bassline that creeps about beneath rattling hits and toms. It’s a bright and metallic cut with catchy vocal riffs that amp up the energy levels as the drums keep popping and firework synths rain down from above.

Pre-Order NOW!

Premiere: Leftwing & Kody - Detuned [Moon Harbour Recordings]

The next release on Matthias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour will be a first appearance on the label for Steve Lawler with only his second EP of the year. The VIVa Music boss has long been a cornerstone of the underground tech house scene, not only with his own raw productions, but so too because of the talent he nurtures at the label, and the parties he headlines and hosts around the world from Ministry of Sound to Sankeys Ibiza.
The first track is ‘Silk Roads’, a purposeful house track that shows Lawler’s knack for crafting slightly tribal, always engaging grooves with rolling sub bass holding it all together. The production is meticulous, with plenty of contrasting surfaces rubbing against each other, folding in over and over and taking you with them each time. There’s as much for the head as the heel though, with a loft melody floating up top to finish off a classy bit of work.
‘Hoffman’s Potion’ doesn’t mess about and immediately settles into another of Lawler’s trademark grooves. Precision cut claps and hi hats bring height to the low down kicks, whilst muted but slightly ravey stabs add a mischievous edge to the track. Just as you get settled, the final third comes alive again with another lingering melody: it’s a simple yet effective touch that will bring reactions from the floor and keep people locked right until the end.
Refreshingly modern and typically well designed from someone with Lawler’s credentials, Moon Harbour have secured something a rare but deserved outing from the VIVA boss.
