MOONBEAM
Raven Gipsy EP
Side A :: Chris Micali's Corkscrew Dub
Side B :: B1: Raven Gipsy B2: Air
Released :: June 2005
Reference :: FEED007

The latest on the Feed Me series comes from cold mother Russia's brand new project, Moonbeam.

"The Raven Gipsy Ep" comes with two original tracks along with an incredibly tasty rehash from Chris Micali. First up is "Raven Gipsy" which comprises of a funk tinged bassline and tech house percussion that begin to set the flow while interspersed with tweaked spacial sounds. As things progress the tech angle is kept up with constant working of tepid synthlines along with a beatiful spoken poem by Chris Lunsford.

Next comes "Air", blending pulsating basslines with melodic undertones that ease the emotion forward before breaking down briefly and rolling on with a warm, atmospheric vibe. Dark, techy beats with all the feeling behind a progressive number locked up inside.

The remix falls in the hands of talented US producer Chris Micali who takes parts of the original "Raven Gipsy" and starts by chunkin' up the beats, gradually building up percussive elements and adding lengthy delayed fx that seem to bubble underneath as the track begins to blossom . Midway through the pace is kept at maximum, as constant sounds lurk in the backgound as ever so slowly an hypnotic synthline filters up and re-enforces the energetic groove. An absolute gem, heavily supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, Chab, Gpal and Spesh, among others.

Dennis Sebayan (URB Magazine, USA)

"I think Air is glorious, lush and gorgeous—reminiscent of renaissance Detroit material. I love the warm bell tones and hi-hat action. Nice mix also from Micali, a bit deep but great pads for layering and a solid bass beat. Thanks for the upfront music!"

 

Release Records (Canada)

"The Chris Micali & Moonbeam mixes is progressive house done RIGHT!!! A MUST HAVE!!! "

 
 

Update Magazine

"The Feed Me sound is ethereal, cool and potential sun-tan lotion on Ibiza beaches. The A side features Chrs Micali’s Corkscrew Dub – an atmospheric goat-stroking wafter with muted acid, unearthly keyboards and heaving bass undertow to whip away the trunks. Flip and find out the original boasted a bloke rapping and sepulchral organ. Then finally discover the joys of ‘Air’, which takes the calm vibe to even greater levels of cerebal bliss. Aah!"

 

Tó Ricciardi

"Micali's mix is my favourite for the dance-floor, and Air is a really good deep track, for any time of day or night. One of the best Feed Me Releases so far!"

 
 

Max Graham (Shine Music CAN)

Resident Advisor

"Brian Cody: Since day one this Portuguese imprint has consistantly put out refreshing music on a underground tip from the likes of Minilogue, ADF, Moshic, Nikki B & Christian Effe and now on their seventh release Feed Me Records introduce us to Russian Duo "Moonbeam". "The Raven Gipsy Ep" comes with two original tracks along with a tasty rehash from Chris Micali. First up is "Raven Gipsy" which comprises of a funk tinged bassline and tech house percussion that begin to set the flow while interspersed with tweaked spacial sounds. While this is taking place slight rhythmic changes and subtle development of the melody keep up the groove. As things progress the tech angle is kept up with constant working of tepid synthlines along with a neat spoken word vocal . Next comes "Air" which is possibly the most exciting track, blending pulsating basslines with melodic undertones that ease the emotion forward before breaking down briefly and rolling on with a warm, atmospheric vibe . This isn’t rocket science but sometimes its the simplest ideas that can be the best - dark tech beats with all the feeling behind a progressive number locked up inside. The remix falls in the hands of Chris Micali who takes parts of the original "Raven Gipsy" and starts by chunkin' up the beats, gradually building up percussive elements and adding lengthy delayed fx that seem to bubble underneath as the track begins to blossom . Midway through the pace is kept at maximum, as constant sounds lurk in the backgound as ever so slowly an hypnotic synthline filters up and re-enforces the energetic groove."
