A while has passed since our last compilation has been released but just in time for the 2011 holiday season Project: Mooncircle and Finest Ego bring you the already fifth edition of our acclaimed compilation series. Shifting focus towards central Europe, we find the three countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Sharing lots of their historical and cultural heritage, this copious collection contains work from producers of a wide range of musical manifestations – all located in the spectrum between traditional sample-based and organic sound to electronic and experimental compositions. Grown up in the nineties with the organic sounds from across the big pond and a long tradition of electronic music in the German speaking world, this compilation showcases the fusion of electronic and classical soulful organic elements in the beat scene. The sound is as diverse as the country and its people, from Spaetzle to Klopse and from HipHop to Techno, on this compilation you can find Boombap from the likes of Brenk & Suff Daddy but also electronic sounds from the likes of Robot Koch and Bit Tuner as well as atmospheric sonical waves from Glenn Astro and Anthony Drawn.
The influences vary from Jazz records, video games, Hip Hop, Drum 'n' Bass and Techno. But are there two different camps clashing here? Retro vs future, mountain village vs urban center, winter vs summer...
The compilation includes acts like Chief, Brenk, Dexter, Mono:Massive, Hulk Hodn, Captain Crook, Stroe, Hubert Daviz, Comfort Fit, Robot Koch, Jazzo & Melodiesinfonie, Quendolin Fender, Ju-Ar, Twit One, Suff Daddy, Figub Brazlevic, Szenario, Portformat, Flowtec, D-Fekt & Mr. Beef, Bit-Tuner, Feux, Kalifornia Kurt, B-Ju, Playpad Circus, Flex Fab, Ill-Luzion, Anthony Drawn, Hazeem, Minor Sick, XL The Red One, Glenn Astro, Frederic Robinson, and Willy Sunshine.

A city is a place for us to be lonely together… ’Loneliness in a big city‘ – a topic which has been accompanying people since they started their travels to far away places.

Their statements are mixed with electronic, dubstep tunes, such as: Rumpistol, Rain Dog, Yoko Duo, Christoph El’ Truento, Soosh, Gards From KC, Krts, Sipp, Steamgoat, 1000names, Teebs, Sina., Antennae, Mo Kolours, Melo, Frederic Robinson, Broken Bubble, Kilimanjaro, George Fitzgerald, Furesshu, Jacques Greene, Inga Copeland, Long Arm, Robot Koch and 40 Winks. … and you… have you ever been lonely in a big city….?

fLako "Carving Away The Clay" (10 Inch - Project: Mooncircle / hhv.de, 2011)
'Carving Away The Clay' impresses upon the idea of an ongoing process in which raw material is stripped off of anything superfluous or impeding until the essential parts of ourselves are exposed. It is a never ending process of striving for perfection in all areas of life.
Sina. "From Love To Dust" with Kelpe, Soosh & Gards From KC (12 Inch - Project: Mooncircle / hhv.de, 2011)
"From Love To Dust" is a two side EP of Barry Gordon, Ireland / UK based producer. He grew up listening to classic rock like Led Zeppelin & Rolling Stones and played in several bands. Barry fell in love with hip-hop after hearing Wu - Tang Clan for the first time, and started making music as Sina. in 2009. He owns and plays many different music instruments and has got a wide range of music influences, anything from blues and folk, to ambient and hip - hop.
The 6 track EP, set to drop in November, bleeds creativity, with influences from all aspects of music being incorporated in the works of Sina. He lets you submerge, full body, into impeccably produced, brittle clean sound with amazing groove control, touching and emotional. Thus, From Love To Dust never bores and features remixes of Switzerland rising star producer Gards From KC, UK beat smith Kelpe, and UK-based producer Soosh, who has had a collab with Gards From KC for Project: Mooncircle earlier this year.

Robot Koch
“One of Europe`s finest producers of the beat generation“ (Low End Theory), is much more than just a beatmaker and a constant guest in the playlists of Mary Anne Hobbs, Starkey, Daedelus and Gaslamp Killer. With his new album „The Other Side“ there is a new dimension to Koch`s production and songwriting with its cinematic vibe, the quirky and moody feel and the electricity that creates intimate and timeless pieces of music that are soulful, deep, mysterious and that will appeal to fans of cutting edge Electronica and modern pop music alike.
Long Arm
Long Arm from Russia is one of the most gifted young producers in the area of abstract instrumental Hip Hop. His debut album "The Branches", released on Project: Mooncircle, made it into radio shows of Mary Anne Hobbs (XFM) as well as Gilles Peterson's "All Winners" show on BBC Radio 1, his personal list of favorites of the year 2011 so far. His sophomore release "Organic", a collection of new and unreleased songs but also remix versions from the likes of Daisuke Tanabe, Krts and FiJi & Eugenia Peters, has recently been released, also on Project: Mooncircle.
Am 14. Oktober wird mit dem Russen Long Arm einer der talentiertesten jungen Produzenten im Bereich des abstrakten Instrumental-HipHop im Panke in Berlin spielen. Sein auf Project: Mooncircle veröffentlichtes Debüt-Album "The Branches“ fand Platz in Sendungen von Mary Anne Hobbs (XFM), sowie in Gilles Petersons "All Winners" Sendung auf BBC Radio 1, seiner momentanen, persönlichen Bestenliste des Jahres 2011. Wer sich die Mühe macht und einmal nach Videos von Live Auftritten des Orenburgers sucht, wird schnell bemerken, dass es der studierte Jazz-Pianist schafft eine Klangatmosphäre zu erschaffen, wie man sie sonst nur von einem kompletten Jazzorchester inklusive Drum-Section erwarten würde. Ende September veröffentlicht Long Arm zusätzlich sein Nachfolgewerk "Organic", eine Zusammenstellung neuer und bisher unveröffentlichter Songs sowie Remix Versionen von Daisuke Tanabe, Krts und FiJi & Eugenia Peters auf Project: Mooncircle. Begleitet wird Long Arm von Graciela Maria (Mexiko), die ebenfalls auf "Organic“ vertreten sein wird, Sneaky (Fingathing / Ninja Tune), V. Raeter (Ecke Prinz / Spoken View), Gordon Gieseking (Project Squared / Finest Ego / PMC) sowie Jinna Morocha, einer jungen russischen Labelmacherin von Project: Mooncircle, die jetzt in Berlin lebt.
