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.

Der Hi-Hat Club ist ja mittlerweile eine Institution. Wer Instrumentalmusik im gemäßigten HipHop-Tempo mit stilvollen Ausflügen in unterschiedliche Genres mag, dürfte eh alle fünf LPs im Schrank stehen haben. Die beiden CDs natürlich auch...nur für den Fall, dass man mal jemanden besucht, der keine Plattenteller am Start hat. Mit dem "Hi-Hat Club Volume 1-5 Box Set" schießt Melting Pot jetzt den Vogel ab: Verpackt in einer schicken Box gibt’s neben den fünf einzelnen LPs (Vol.1: Hulk Hodn & Twit One - Testiculo Y Uno, Vol.2: Suff Daddy - Suff Draft, Vol.3: Dexter – The Jazz Files, Vol.4: Brenk & Fid Mella – Chop Shop und Vol.5: Full Crate & FS Green – Eggs And Pancakes) die beiden CD-Veröffentlichungen, auf denen die ersten vier Teile zu hören sind, außerdem hat Robert Winter für das prall gefüllte Paket ein sehr schönes, 32 Seiten umfassendes Booklet zusammengestellt, das alleine den Kauf rechtfertigt. In gut zwei Wochen soll es soweit sein, einige von uns können jetzt schon kaum noch schlafen...
The new generation of beat smiths understands Hip Hop, Techno and the diverse new styles between electronic and organic grooves evolving from them, not as a mere pose, but as an aesthetic principle, exploring the boundaries of these musical styles. Therefore, the crucial artistic questions are - How can you make known subjects in other contexts and how abstract can it be? How do the individual environments, experiences and personal circumnstances influence the artists and how does this reflect in their music? We can now gather some of these arising artists on this concept, allowing you to become familiar with these extraordinary musicians.
The compilations and events show the wide range of this emerging beat music scene, the originality of each artist and tries to unite very different types of artists to a common denominator: Finest Ego

This is a story about a young Russian girl named Jinna Morocha who had a vision of one day flying to the Moon.
Many years ago during the hard times of life in Moscow, the young girl saw the Moon consciously for the first time and at that very moment the dream began. These vivid thoughts remained in her mind and she started to ask herself "How can I get to the Moon?“. Soon she found the label Project: Mooncircle over the internet and told them her story, at once she saw a chance to come a few steps closer to her dream. By now Jinna lived in Germany and it was possible for her and the label to meet, her key question was "Can you bring me to the Moon?“. The answer was a faltering "No, but maybe we can let you fly to the Moon in your mind. Let's build the soundtrack to this vision, close your eyes, clear your thoughts and let us begin on your journey“. That was the beginning of "The Moon Comes Closer“, come embark upon this voyage with us lead by the next level soundscapes of:

Ich interviewe Menschen, die meinen, dass sie HipHop fühlen/ denken/ leben/ ausschwitzen. Ich stelle ihnen im Kern nur drei einfache Fragen, die ich dann in diesem Blog als Podcast zum Hören hinterlege - sozusagen als "BioPod" (Der Ecoluddit, Gründer und Moderator von hiphopist.de). Der Blog präsentiert Interviews von Dexter, Maeckes & Plan B, V. Raeter und vielen mehr.
Upmyalley und Melting Pot runden das gelungene Beat BBQ des vergangenen Monats mit einem kleinen Extra-Tape ab, das bisher nicht veröffentlichte Beats von Dexter, moO, Adlib, Twit One, Hubert Daviz, Tobrock, Powell und Suff Daddy enthält und hier runtergeladen werden kann. Nice that!
Keine zehn Tage mehr, dann HEUTE bitten Melting Pot Music gemeinsam mit Up My Alley zum gemeinsamen BBQ in den Kölner Friedenspark. Dieses Mal mit dabei sind folgende Vertreter, von denen wir euch die meisten nicht mehr vorstellen müssen, schließlich haben wir eben jene an dieser Stelle schon allzu häufig positiv erwähnt:
DJ'ing, Beats & Live Sets by:
Powell / Suff Daddy / Moo / Adlib / Tobrock / Hulk Hodn / Twit One / Dip Some / Hubert Daviz / Dexter / Full Crate / FS Green / Fella Vaughn / MeMyselfAndI / Illiaz
Hi-Hat Club Vol. 3: The Jazz Files heißt der neuste Streich der Hi-Club-Serie aus dem Hause MPM aus Köln für den diesmal Dexter verantwortlich zeichnet.
Die Veröffentlichung dieses feinen Vinyltonträgers soll natürlich auch angemessen gefeiert werden. Deshalb gibt's am kommenden Freitag den 26.2. im Berliner Cassiopeia Club 'ne anständige Sause. Neben Dexter sind außerdem Full Crate & Mar (Amsterdam/NL, MPM), Suff Daddy (Berlin, MPM) und die Beatevolutioners (Berlin) mit von der Partie.
Und weil es so viel Spaß macht, wird der Hi-Hat Club nun auch als Veranstaltungsreihe in Serie gehen und uns in diesem Jahr noch desöfteren über den Weg laufen. Mehr dazu im kommenden hhv.de Magazin.
Mehr zum Sound von Dexters Jazz Files gibt's nach dem Jump!
