Since PMC's 10th anniversary the face of one of their founding members who passed away way too early graces the logo. This release is dedicated to her and commemorates the 11th anniversary of her passing. "Working with Dave McKean - a true legend, especially for anyone into comic illustrations - wraps up this whole trip in the sweetest way. Not only is it a big honour, but - in a way - it completes the circle, as Dave has been a major influence for the label's artworks from its earliest beginnings already."
Originally established in 2002, its diverse back catalogue is one of no musical boundaries. Today much of the label's output focuses on the fusion of organic and electronic music. With a heavy emphasis on artwork and design, the label prides itself on the curation of original ideas and vision. Acting as an official label of hhv.de and parenting two sub-labels - dub techno imprint Project Squared and both blog/label Finest Ego, specialising in experimental beat music. In an ever changing music climate Project Mooncircle continues to develop and welcome new sounds of universe.
A journey to the moon that began fifteen years ago now reaches another milestone - 15 years, one and a half decades, over 150 individual releases, many many artists, countless professional relationships but also friendships along the way. Many many stories and shared memories - not all of them good, not all of them bad either. While modern space age technology would make it possible to reach the moon's surface a lot faster, for Project Mooncircle it is not only about moving forward as quickly as possible, but also to turn around, look back around themselves and to reflect on everything that has happened and is happening. "This is why we have such a broad range of artists guesting on our latest compilation. Some that have been part of the voyage from its earliest stages, others that have been with us for major milestones along the way, and even more that might move ahead with us into new and unchartered musical regions." says Malte.
Founding member
Gordon explains, "Luckily, we have not crashed into any lunar crater with our listeners. We want to thank you for making this long journey possible and we greatly look forward to celebrating this milestone with our partners, musical family and of course with you, our listeners."
The limited box (only 500 copies worldwide) includes five colored vinyl LP's with over 35 exclusive tracks plus four additional digital bonus tracks (with digital download code), a bonus double CD version exclusively designed by Lorena Assisi, a T-shirt (only size L) and an exclusive documentary about the label - all in a specially designed box by Dave McKean.
