A benchmark project that has been in fruition over the past year, ‘One Against Time’ is the magnum opus of John Dimas’ career. It is a pivotal milestone that embodies his depth of knowledge and his personal fascination with the mysteries of life and the universe. Spread across 14 tracks, ‘One Against Time’ sees Dimas really broaden his artistic capabilities, drawing from a melting pot of influences and woven together by his desire to channel a feeling of intrigue and curiosity taking a journey outward into the deepest recesses of outer space while simultaneously traveling inward to that same area of deep space inside his own soul.

Elephant Moon proudly presents Russian producer Plantae (Artyom Zlobin).. His love for contemporary electronic music came a little later in life, with early influences coming from the worlds of old rock, jazz, hip-hop and older electronic recordings. He has a deep-seated love for nature, and counts art, design, books and film among his inspirations outside of music. On this EP he channels all his influences into four nuanced cuts, straight from his laboratory to John Dimas, the head scientist at Elephant Moon.

After the success of the latest release from label boss John Dimas with his debut Album ”One Against Time” Elephant Moon is back with a 3 track EP from the mysterious Y&E featuring a very special remix from UK legend 100Hz.

Italian duo Minimono are next to release on Elephant Moon.

Elephant Moon proudly welcomes one of our good friends from Barcelona, Sonodab. 'Sonold' is the starting point for this four-track EP. There’s a distinct air of mystery looming over this minimal workout. The globulous bassline bounces along supporting by clapping beats with an eerie tone that prevails throughout. This is followed by more alluring atmospherics on ‘Aporia’, a track that has an elastic b-line and every once in a while an enchanting melody drifts in, switching up the vibe turning things a little more dreamlike. Turn the record and prepare to embark on a ‘Random Night’. This is Sonodab turning up the energy levels and taking you on a trip into another dimension. To close out the EP ‘Elecmann’, plays out like an ode to the good old electro days, slightly reminicent of Juan Atkins’ early work as Model500. Like the rest of the tracks on this release, Sonodab adds soft pads in places to change the mood and keep things moving.

Elephant Moon hits us with a super dope batch of new music this Spring. The new release is a collection of music from several different artists and demonstrates the diversity of the label’s output. Across four brand new tracks we’re presented with smooth grooves, odd, whimsical sound design and dynamic dance floor rollers. Things start off tentatively with Italian Rinaldo Makaj’s ‘Quasar’, a dreamy soundscape which envelopes you in its lush rhythms and deep, meditative bassline. Josh Tweek’s ‘Coffee Curves’ shares side A with ‘Quasar’, though the atmosphere is totally different. Confused robotic bleeps and effects pop up throughout, seemingly out of sync with the percussion while a sombre b-line rumbles below.On the flip side we have ‘Oulton Road’ by Christian AB. A vibey cut, which encapsulates all that is great about the deeper end of house music; measured, emotive and utterly danceable. Accompanying ‘Oulton Road’ is ‘Element Of Lights’ by Gianmarco Orsini, a bouncing dance floor-ready slice of 4x4 rudeness . Each side includes 1 bonus locked groove from John & Giammarco :)
