#moonswing netlabel

"What's going on with my favourite netlabel?" You may find yourself asking..

Well..

+ Due to bandcamp's silly free download policy, we had some hiccups for a while, which seem to be sorted.. for now.. + We're currently doing ARTIST SCOUTS! Which means that if you or anyone you know would make a perfect addition to our lovely little family, please don't hesitate to contact us or send your demos to [email protected] + We're in the process of trying to migrate to a more 'user-friendly' website, or 'meeting ground' if you will.. like bandcamp, or archive dot org etc. If anyone has a lead on that PLEASE drop us a line! + We also have some exciting things lined up for the next few months - one of which will be our very first compilation for our VERY FIRST BIRTHDAY! It’s going to be called MoonSongs Vol. 1 and YOU’RE INVITED!

More info soon!

Thank you all for looking, listening and feeling <3

Almost every artist who has contributed to MoonSwing Netlabel thus far has been featured in Deploy Your Senses' new 57-track voyage. A completely FREE 57-track compilation featuring sounds by selected independent ambient, post-rock, math-rock, shoegaze & electronic artists from all over the world. 

We were lucky enough to have any involvement at all on last year's compilation, and I can only imagine how this year's will be even better!

MSR018 - Her Stems Spiral - House of Frozen Butterflies (EP)

Released 08/28/14

Johannesburg based experimental artist Her Stems Spiral is back with a survival-horror-film-score inspired EP titled 'House of Frozen Butterflies'.

"Loosely based on events which occurred in the horror video-game franchise Fatal Frame/Project Zero, it follows the protagonist Mio, in search of her younger sister, Mayu, who has wandered off into an abandoned mansion. Mio must encounter the spirits who dwell here, and capture them with her Camera Obscura, upon rescuing her sister from the evil which resides in this house. Mixing sound design into music, like a film without the screen, Her Stems Spiral ventures into unknown territory, introducing yet another genre shift - from trip-hop to space-rock and much more!"

UK ambient composer Ben Rath released his brooding debut full length 'Trouble' on MoonSwing Netlabel mid August, but he recently updated the cover art to a more fitting atmosphere. You can stream/download Trouble by Ben Rath, here.

Today we release "AJA", the debut full length by avant-pop london based musician Calumma Amber!

"Beginning late winter 2012, Calumma borrowed a 90's Music Station synthesizer from her friend & producer Slur Cult and began programming beats & recording. Mixing 808 beats with African percussion and adding layer upon layer of harmonized vocals to craft sound rather than explore structure"
