I woke up this morning, with a slight hungover, to find an email in the inbox from Gordon of Project: Mooncircle telling me he had a guest mix for us. Always a pleasant surprise when good friends of ours get in touch like this, even more when it’s someone like Gordon who we’ve worked with for years now ever since the beginnings of both Rhythm Incursions and Project: Mooncircle back in the early/mid 00s. Regular listeners will no doubt be familiar with the label’s output – releases from the label are a common feature in our monthly shows and we’ve had quite a few of their artists guest on the show in the past (click here for a run down). So to finally have Gordon, the man behind the label, step up for a guest mix is nice. Actually if memory serves me right Gordon did do a guest spot for us back in 05 when Waxfactor presented the first Project:Mooncircle special which was also one of the first podcasts we did, back when Rhythm Incursions was a bi weekly show on Resonance FM. So nearly 6 years on (damn time flies) Gordon steps up again with a selection across the board featuring the likes of Headshotboyz, Shlohmo, Lapalux, Teebs, Quendolinfender, Capella, Coco Bryce, fLako, Koreless, DZA, Luisterwaar, Ital Tek, Jehst, Joe Kickass, Killing Skills, CYNE, Gards From KC, Evil Ed and more… The mix features a fair few unreleased/forthcoming bits and there is no tracklist aside from the above artists mention.
For more on Project:Mooncircle be sure to check their website, where you’ll find details of all their releases past and present. Up next they’ve got some tasty offerings from fLako and DZA as well as a Mike Gao LP coming in the summer. And stay tuned for details of a common project we’re working on as part of their Finest Ego series which I’m hoping we’ll be able to announce details for in the coming weeks.
As always you can download and/or stream the mix below. Or simply subscribe to our RSS/iTunes feed and never miss a show – links for that are below.
We want to present you the first podcast of our “Neumond - New Moon”-serie. It’s planed to send you out a new episode every 3rd month. This first one gives you an insight into our latest and upcoming releases and is crowned by interviews with Lewis Parker & John Robinson and Numaads. The show includes new music of Obba Supa, The Q4 - The QuadraphoniQuartet, Robot Koch, Joe Kickass, Dday One & Shahmen etc. Have fun!
Now, Joe is back to bring you his first full length album entitled ‘Mind Joe’ . It’s a diverse soul, jazz and oldskool infused ride, laced with witty and gritty vocals and wrapped in a sick cover design sporting Joe’s own illustrations. Besides getting Portformat, Arts The Beatdoctor of The Q4 and of course Killing Skills on board, Joe again composed the majority of the beats himself proving himself as versatile as some kind of walking computer car that has yet to be invented.
This 17 track album brings your beloved hiphop back to life with it’s raw but musically underpinned sound and lets you dive in Joe’s mind as well as making you mind Joe for a long time to come.
‘Mind Joe’ by Joe Kickass will be released on the 4th of June on Project: Mooncircle and will be available on LP, CD and digital. For more info check www.projectmooncircle.com and www.joekickass.nl.
