This is the fourth volume of Moon Harbour's Inhouse label compilation series. In accordance with the tried-and-tested concept, this release also showcases the work of current Moon Harbour artists. In addition to exclusive tracks by Matthias Tanzmann, Luna City Express, Dan Drastic, Ekkohaus, Martinez, Italoboyz, Andy Catana and Blind Minded, special guests like Reboot, Guido Schneider, Boris Werner and tINI & Marc Antona are also represented on this compilation. The list of artists clearly demonstrates that Moon Harbour has developed into a label with international scope and appeal. This sampler was compiled and mixed by Dan Drastic, who has been part of Moon Harbour's artist roster for more than seven years. He regularly hosts the Moon Harbour Nights at the Leipzig club Distillery and is one of the most active Moon Harbour DJs, together with Matthias Tanzmann and Luna City Express. The musical styles on Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol. 4 range from the deep house of Luna City Express and Ekkohaus to the reduced groovy tech house á la tINI & Marc Antona, Andy Catana and Boris Werner and the floor-fillers by Reboot and Dan Drastic. In this sense, the selection of tracks mirrors the current breadth of styles represented by the label in its 12th year. Since the third Inhouse compilation, a lot has happened at Moon Harbour. In addition to the releases of the albums Hello from Planet Earth by Luna City Express (2009) and Paradigm Shift by Martinez (2010), the 10th anniversary of the label was celebrated with gusto in 2010, complete with the compilation and club tour, Ten Years of Moon Harbour. The year 2010 also marked the birth of the monthly Moon Harbour Radio Show. Luna City Express and Dan Drastic have been taking turns producing this show, which has already had more than 25 editions. The year 2011 marked another special occasion: sister label Cargo Edition celebrated its fifth anniversary with the compilation Five Years of Cargo Edition. In the summer of 2011, Moon Harbour released the compilation CD Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza - the Next Level, mixed by Matthias Tanzmann and Davide Squillace. To celebrate the release of Moon Harbour Inhouse Vol. 4, there will be numerous record release showcases.

Since the late 1980s, Ibiza has developed into a meeting place for the discerning hedonist and people who prefer to party on their holidays instead of quarreling with other tourists over sunloungers. Since 1999, the Circoloco parties at DC10 have been the most consistently legendary events of every season. Every Monday, fancily dressed-up people dance the day away to sets from the world's best DJs, all under the glorious Balearic sun. It's no wonder the party series is one of the most-visited on the white island. Circoloco residents, DJs Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann have been integral to the party since 2007, both being big names in the scene for a long time. Tanzmann has been going strong with his label Moon Harbour for more than ten years now, and Davide Squillace, as well as releasing on well-known labels such as Ovum, Sci+Tec and Desolat, also stirs up the music world with his labels Minisketch, Titbit Music and the recently-founded Hideout. Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann have known each other and played together for years now, their legendary back2back sets at Circoloco parties always causing a furor, most recently in Miami, London, and of course at DC10. So it's no surprise at all that the two were called on to compile and mix Circoloco - The Next Level; the perfect accompaniment for the summer and the new Circoloco season. Artists include: Luca Bacchetti, Carola Pisaturo, Marcin Czubala, Catz'n'Dogz, Audiofly, Nikola Gala, Dan Drastic, Sven Tasnadi & Juno6, Nil By Mouth, Dragosh, Guti, BNZO, Blind Minded, Italoboyz, Adam Port, Daniel Wilde, Matthew Dear, Sascha Dive, Martinez, Luna City Express.

It's now been a decade since, on the eve of the new millennium, Matthias Tanzmann and André Quaas decided to start their own label Moon Harbour Recordings. Originally intended as an outlet to release the music of Matthias Tanzmann and his Gamat 3000 project, as well as tracks from his colleague Marlow, Moon Harbour quickly made its name in the electronic music scene and thus the label opened its doors to other artists like Vincenzo, Krüger & Manowski, Daniel Stefanik, Håkan Lidbo and Goldfisch & Der Dulz. In 2005, the Berlin-based duo Luna City Express started working with the label and joined the Moon Harbour Family. Matthias Tanzmann then founded the sister label Cargo Edition in order to broaden the stylistic spectrum of Moon Harbour. Since then, Cargo Edition has developed into an independent platform with its own style, predominantly driven by the label's established and illustrious stock of artists, including Michael Melchner, Vera Heindel, Ekkohaus, Sven Tasnadi, Markus Schatz and Juno6. In 2008, two new artists joined the Moon Harbour family and have become permanent members of the label's roster: Martinez from Copenhagen and Dan Drastic from Leipzig. Last but not least, Berliner Chris Lattner started to work for Moon Harbour both as a musician and as a host of the monthly Moon Harbour Radio Show, which he produces with Dan Drastic. In addition to new artists, releases from guest artists like Gregor Tresher, Santos and Arado & Marco Faraones have reinforced the label's reputation. Not content to just make the records, Moon Harbour showcases have become renowned for building great parties with excellent music, provided by DJs who are part of a musical family. Ten Years Of Moon Harbour features a disc of ten exclusive tracks, plus a bonus CD of Moon Harbour essentials mixed by Tanzmann. Other artists on this compilation include Boris Werner, Simon Flower, Krüger & Manowski, Peter Dildo,Leif & Tom Ellis, Michal Ho, Lil' Dirty, Audio Werner, Johnny D, Seuil, Samim, Agnès and Luna City Express (feat. Sigrid Elliot).

This is the third album by Denmark's Martinez. Throughout his career Martin Schwanstein aka Martinez has experienced quite a few musical paradigm shifts. And he is certainly not the only one in the techno scene who has done so. Many of his fellow musicians also started, over time, focusing more on certain forms of techno and house music. In the case of Martinez, it was a shift from deep house to minimal techno and finally to his current dancefloor house sound; however, you never get the feeling that Martinez is just jumping on the bandwagon. When his first record, Momomowha, was released on Moon Harbour in 2008, the house revival had just started, and Martinez instantly managed to establish his own little niche. After 3 EPs and a co-production with label boss Matthias Tanzmann, Martinez has established himself on the label's roster of musicians and represents Moon Harbour at label parties all over the world. When you see Martinez DJ, his many years of experience become obvious -- he simply knows how to set a club on fire. The Paradigm Shift is unique in having mastered the balancing act between dancefloor rhythm and home-listening quality. His organic sound combines all elements such as dense beats and jazzy chords so well, the listener is convinced that all of these are cast from the same mold. Every now and then, you get the feeling you are listening to a really old house record that was simply produced with 2010 technology. Funky and explosive at all the right moments.

MHR 049EP

This is the second volume of remixes from Luna City Express' Hello From Planet Earth (MHR 011CD). Robag Wruhme's version of "Mr. Jack" is a mix of funk and darkness that has an overwhelming effect on the dancefloor. Reboot stripped the strong percussion of "Parish Fair" down to the basics, focusing more on an elaborate development of the break. Martinez' remix of "Time & Space" fuses organic beats with the original theme, as if they were made for each other.

Norman Weber and Marco Resmann aka Luna City Express present a remix 12" of tracks from their 2009 album Hello From Planet Earth. Mathias Kaden's remix of "Diamonds & Pearls" experiments with the e-piano snippets from the original track, supported by an ambitiously grooving beat. Ray Okpara's remix strips "Celebration Of Life" down to its essence: the groove. Catz 'N Dogz take care of the humorous "Mr. Jack," placing the vocals up front, like an instrument.

Matthias Tanzmann presents two versions of "Chano," demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade. The original concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully-placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole. The "Second Mix" is arranged more classically -- a deep chord, a clear beat, accentuated hi-hats and claps. The percussiveness here is more profound, shaping the track in a completely different way.

This is the debut full-length release from Berlin's Luna City Express. For 10 years now, Norman Weber and Marco Resmann have been living out their love for house together both at the turntables and in the studio as Luna City Express. At 14, Weber heard his first Chicago house mix on tape -- a musical revelation and the beginning of his subsequent career. Resmann discovered electronic music in the early '90s in a friend's basement studio where he first started delving into drum machines and synthesizers. In 1999 he set up his Audiogain studio and established himself as a producer, producing as a solo artist under the pseudonym Phage and also in projects like Pan/Pot or Phage & Daniel Dreier, releasing on labels like Mobilee, Klang Elektronik and Highgrade. In 2007, he founded the label Upon You with Marcus Meinhardt and Hawks Grunert. At a millennium party in Italy, Norman and Marco crossed paths for the first time and clicked immediately -- two house nerds had found each other. When Norman moved from Jena to Berlin, they began to play as a DJ team, organizing their own parties and producing their first tracks together, a mixture of downbeat, trip-hop and deep house. Beside remixes and releasing on labels like Justified Cause and Enliven Music, Moon Harbour has truly become the home of Luna City Express, and at the same time, they've played an essential part in developing the label's sound. Hello From Planet Earth brings together 13 outstanding tracks -- from techno to experimental, going from euphoric to quiet moments. It's an eclectic album that isn't just for the club, all held together by the unique Luna City Express house vibe.

Matthias Tanzmann invited Copenhagen's Martinez and Frenchman Seuil into the studio for what ended up being a very fruitful couple of recording sessions, starting with this first volume in the Moon Harbour Joints series. Martinez and Tanzmann roll out the tightly arranged "Ohh I Don't Know," characterized by impulsive beats, rhythmic chords and engaging vocal samples, all adding up to make a unique funk that's direct, authentic and deep. On the flip, Tanzmann and Seuil build upon several layered vocal samples, resulting in a deeper, more laid back affair.
