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.
Design by LGB5 x Alexander Brade. A&R: Martin Pohle. Mixed & Mastered by Sven Friederichs.
Release date: December, 25th.
This mix was given to us by Gordon as a tribute to Satta Outside (we will organise a Beatmaker Challenge / Ritmo Kovos together with our friends from Renegades of Bump there).
No doubt, the Project: Mooncircle showcase at the festival, including Robot Koch, fLako, 1000 Names and Playpad Circus as well as the DJs Gordon and Jinna will be another highlight this year!

First of all, we want to thank so many people who made this thing possible. Much love to all the artists who came to do their thing and rock the crowd - Comfort Fit doing a great workshop and also a dope live-show, fLako playing an incredible live-set and Robot Koch, who tore the venue down on saturday night - but also Blue Daisy, Jeremiah Jae and Teebs who all stretched musical boundaries a little further with their abstract and atmospheric styles on sunday. Big respect goes to all the beatheads participating in the challenge - all of your performances were incredible and everyone of you truly was a winner that night. Also thanks to everyone involved behind the stage, doing the visuals, photographing and filming the whole event.
Moreover, thanks to Erjee for doing a great job hosting the challenge and guiding us through the program during the entire weekend and not to forget the support DJ's, The Binh, V. Raeter, Gordon, Puzzle and Peter Skratch.
Thanks to the Finest Ego Team: Michail, Peter, Malte, Martin, Sarah, Jinna, Gordon, Thomas, Simon, Ben, Binh, Natalie & the venue chiefs and sound engineers!
And finally, much love to our sponsors, hhv.de, Native Instruments, WeSC, Mishka and Acrylick for the prizes and support, Project: Mooncircle, Twen.fm for the live stream coverage and everyone who helped organising and making it all happen behind the scenes and last but not least, big thanks to everyone who came by to rock with us - the atmosphere and energy was amazing!
Without each and every single one of you, this would not have been possible! Expect lots of footage, live-videos, interviews, photos and reports about the event in the coming days!
hhv.de is proud to announce a very special event to you: “The Finest Ego Weekend”! This event is officially kicking off our artist-network “Finest Ego” (http://www.finestego.com), a new platform and community for up-and-coming young and innovative producers and music-lovers in and around the constantly changing and evolving bass music continuum.
On March 19th and 20th, some of the most active and prolific international producers as well as unknown young talents from all around Europe will come together in the club “Chez Jacki” (Maria am Ostbahnhof) on the banks of the river Spree. Whilst, on Saturday afternoon, renowned producers will host workshops and give insight into their music creation process and production-techniques, the programm for the evening is filled with exclusive live-acts on both days. Robot Koch, fLako, Blue Daisy, Comfort Fit and the two Flying Lotus proteges Teebs and Jeremiah Jae represent the future of hiphop in a fascinating unique way and have developed a new sound, which at the same time ties in 30 years of hiphop tradition, whilst also connecting to the abstract structures of electronic music and the depth of clubmusic. Teebs, Blue Daisy and Jeremiah Jae have never before played live in Germany and are visiting Berlin exclusively for the “Finest Ego Weekend”.
Central part of the event is the “Beatmaker Challenge”, which gives young producers the opportunity to not only showcase their music in front of an international live-audience but to also win studiogear from Native Instruments, Clothing / Headphones from Wesc, Acrylick, Mishka and a record deal with Finest Ego Records and Project: Mooncircle.
