May: 16 house releases you need to hear this month
House for the weekend
Various 'Moon Harbour 100' (Moon Harbour)
Filling up the tracklist of this EP was never going to be too difficult when you consider just how many producers the Moon Harbour boys have to call upon. The label has been going for 17 years and is close to amassing 150 releases with its various EPs, albums and compilations, but this is its 100th vinyl release.Matthias Tanzmann up first with his huge ‘Mahoney Baloney’, a percussive piece of tech house with vocal cuts, elastic bass, hollow drums and more. Label manager Dan Drastic and Sven Tasnadi then give us the playful ‘Tastic’, which is one of those tracks that will move your shoulders as much as your feet. Luna City Express’ ‘Saturday’ is pure Saturday-night fodder with its dramatic synths, while Daniel Stefanik signs off by going deep on ‘Resurrection.’
