Moguai - Punx Up The Volume 39th episode

The year 2010 was one that will be remembered as a year of change, development and advancement in both life and in culture. Perhaps this is part of the reason for the phenomenal rise of Andre Tegeler, better known to the dance community as Moguai.
A far-reaching and highly respected DJ on his homegrown German circuit, it could also be argued that you only get out what you put in – with this case, Moguai has fully reaped the rewards of a hard working ethos and highly honed production sound, firmly establishing himself as a One to Watch for 2011 and a rapidly growing worldwide fan-base.
In between the worldwide release of his debut album WE AR LYVE (the first non-Deadmau5 album released on the rodent Mau5trap imprint), and turning out high profile remixes for the likes of famous boffin Moby and ambient minor-tone masters of chill Royksopp, Moguai has been constantly touring, honoring a packed schedule which has seen him twice head over to the US and Asian continents as well as wowing Europe wide audiences and parties with his unavoidable energy, selection and persona.

The demand for Moguai and his newly formed LYVE setup has been represented fully lately, planning, devising and creating quality tracks like they’re letters of the alphabet. 2010 saw him release Dynamik on Mau5trap with global house sensation Michael Woods, remix classic dance stalwarts Moonbeam, hold the biggest competition that DJ Download ever participated in and more recently, releasing his most accomplished and popular track to date – ‘8001 / Stay Planetary’, which made the playlist of Pete Tong’s Essential Selection show and covered by a flurry of tastemaker press and magazines including a front cover on Raveline magazine. For further proof check out the Beatport stats: several positioning’s in the overall chart with singles 8001, Oyster and Nyce – and reaching No.1 in the progressive house chart – the boy wonder is fully deserving of his ascending status as Germany’s premier breakthrough house DJ. With recent release on the UK’s Skint label, Steve Angello’s SIZE records and more penciled releases on Mau5trap and the revitalization of the Punx label.

News from Deadmau5 & co

On December 2010 Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, released his fifth album 4×4=12 on Ultra Records. Coming in at track number 7, ‘Cthulu Sleeps’ contained a hypnotic flurry of strong wobbles that paired with Deadmau5 gritty bassline, created a very strong and aggressive impressions on the ears of fans everywhere.

With ‘Cthulhu Sleeps’ being almost 13 months years old now, just yesterday Deadmau5 released a similar yet incredably sinister follow up called ‘Cthulhu Dreams’. Most of the soft strings were removed leaving behind a strongly seductive and heavily filtered bass that quite frankly sounds like the evil twin of the original. And IT'S FREE!

The second part of this post is about an (everything points that will be awesome!) album coming in late January by the hand of the man in the picture below.

 

Moguai and mau5trap join forces to deliver the exquisite 'Mpire' EP -- the first single from forthcoming 'Mpire' LP virtuous Producer and tech-specialist Moguai is without question on the form of his career. Out the 16th January 2012, on mau5trap Records, comes the very first installment from his flawless forthcoming long player; the effortlessly stunning powerhouse single - Mpire!

Moguai has always had a knack for creating intelligent, original and multilayered soundscapes and Mpire is certainly no exception. Captivating, melodic and with driving swells throughout, it epitomizes what the majestic German does best. With a gloriously pounding energy that continues through two completely different, but equally engaging breakdowns, this juggernaut of a release is testament to the fine caliber of the author, and is as good an example as any of a musician at their peak. It's Moguai's best yet!

As the mau5trap regular gears up to deliver his insanely hyped artist album -- also titled Mpire -- on the 30th January, electronica-heads must wait just a little bit longer. With this fresh little piece of Moguai gold to keep us amused in the meantime however, these next two weeks will no doubt fly by. Not long now!
This brilliant track isn't free but you can buy it here. Any way, enjoy it!
