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.
Mondayjazz.com (Jazz For The Working Class) from Russia proudly presents "We're On The Moon" by Mixed by Gordon Of Project: Mooncircle press text:
Gordon Gieseking is a Berlin residing graphic artist, making artworks for various international labels and artists. He is also a DJ and a founder of Project: Mooncircle - label which representatives have been on Mondayjazz broadcast for several times. Just remember dope mixes from fLako, Robot Koch, Manuvers, Glen Porter, Pavel Dogval and many more, not to mention acts or artist, that could be associated as labels like minded friends. Core of the We're On The Moon is also constructed around labels production and having in mind the quantity and quality of Project: Mooncircle releases, it is a promising and wide spreading journey through actual music. But freshness isn't the only parameter, mix includes some all-time hits and is based under fluent, a bit dark and spacey emotion. The tracklist includes acts like Fancy Mike, Mr. Projectile, Evil Ed, FERARRI, Robot Koch, Pavel Dovgal, Juj, Jungle Drums And Ahu, Azzurro, 40 Winks, SATO, John Robinson, Lewis Parker, StaHHr, Cymarshall Law, 4RCE, Lewis McCallum, Long Arm, Dela, Doppelkopf, Asaviour , Szenario, Dj Krush, Zap Mama, Tumi, Jahbitat, Take, Tycho, Robot Robinson & Lusine. So an excellent presentation of material that has in some way always been around, but for the first time is clearly detailed. It will give you joy of cognition through recognition.

We now sell Project: Mooncircle vinyl and cds in stores across the world: Berlin, London, Tokyo, New York, LA, San Francisco, Melbourne. We bring music with a message and with quality and content to our fans. The music industry and the media form the taste of too many listeners of the 21st century. This should not be the way; No ear should be feed with monotonous, stupid music. We are proud of our 50 releases of uncompromised, honest music. Selfish, lazy and avaricious dreamers have been ignored successfully and we are looking forward to the next 50 releases, to growing the label, to growing our artists and to starting our sub label Project Squared.

Evil Ed ist zurück, der jazzy UK Producer arbeitete schon mit Jehst, Lewis Parker, Verb T, Task Force, Tommy Evans, Foreign Baggers Etc.. Als wir Obba Supa's Album "To:Am / Free:Am" veröffentlichten bekamen wir eine Email von ihm und die Anfrage auf ein Feature. Die Jungs traffen sich zu einem kleinen Konzert in London und die Idee einer 10 Inch entstand. Project: Mooncircle & Hidden Identity Productions präsentieren euch am 4. Dezember die "Midnight Mathematics" EP. Beim "Midnight Madness" Remix von Ed hat sich auch Lil' Sci alias John Robinson nicht zweimal bitten lassen!
To all graphic designers, painters, writers etc.!
Soon, Evil Ed (YNR / Ex Janomi records) & Project: Mooncircle want to release a new 7 inch from Obba Supa and you can become a part of it! Create your own imagination of a lettering or a logo design from “Midnight Mathematics” and the artist name “Obba Supa”. You can win three of five strictly limited handmade test presses from the “To:am/Free:am” release AND your design will stick on the next vinyl and will be build in from our artwork designers. Watch out for the track on MySpace .
The deadline is the 28th of august and the 3 best of you get the chance to co-design our next compilation!
