M.P.R Charts, 30th December 2024

Welcome to our final Charts for 2024. Thank you to the Artists who make their music available for us to play and of course, the listeners and supporters who make Moon Phase Radio possible.

The 1st of January 2025 is our 15th birthday. The political climate in the UK is probably going to make 2025 a challenging year but we will remain optimistic for the future.

Thank You Everyone!

Artificial Island - After Dark

The new release by Artificial Island entitled 'After Dark' is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Dec 5, 2024

'Artificial Island' were recently voted one of the best upcoming electronic artist for 2024. 

'Artificial Island' are a London based electronic duo producing Synthetic textured melodic ambience, merging the Light with the Dark.

“Music is always an act of communication; capturing something felt in all its complexity to be shared across time and space. And it is always refracting, casting different lights, different shadows, but ultimately reminding us that we are connected and not isolated. We hope our music succeeds in some way in that act of connection and resonance”.

Their new single is an electronic message to a City in need of hope and love - the ending of this song is as powerful and evocative as anything you will have heard for a long time.”

DJ Piscine - My Kind Of Game

Released today and playing on M.P.R Ambient, is the new single by DJ Piscine entitled 'My Kind Of Game'.

 

 

Release date: Dec 27, 2024

Following the release of the genre-defying singles Ouverture, Love Inside Me, and Encore, DJ Piscine presents the fourth track from his highly anticipated My Kind Of Game EP. This lush, synth-driven ambient piece served as the guiding inspiration for the entire project. Each time DJ Piscine sat down to craft a track, he began by immersing himself in My Kind Of Game to establish the EP’s unique mood and direction.

The approach has resonated, with the EP receiving glowing praise from industry peers and fellow DJs. My Kind Of Game has naturally become the perfect closing track for DJ Piscine’s electrifying sets at his residencies with Brussels DJ collective echte ra. Its deeply emotive atmosphere evokes what Piscine describes as “the nostalgia of a moment never lived,” leaving listeners profoundly moved.

DJ Piscine

Behind the moniker DJ Piscine stands Maximilian De Vos, Brussels DJ and founding member of DJ Collective "echte ra". 

Spending more time in his studio than the legal maximum, he is also the creative force and producer behind Brussels duo The Haze.

Take a plunge because the groove is in the water.

The State of Chill - I Shine

Now playing on M.P.R Chill is the track entitled 'I Shine' by The State of Chill.

 

 

Release date: Dec 15, 2024

Hailing from Canada, The State of Chill (Hal Halli) is a fresh presence in the chill music scene, offering a refreshing take on the genre. Through his music, he focuses on the simple joy of a good vibe: “It's about the vibe of your life, your thoughts, your connections, and everything you do. I aim to provide this positive vibe, allowing us to live in a state of grace, a state of chill."

With an extensive background in music since his teenage years, Hal draws inspiration from a wide range of genres such as lo-fi chill, hip hop, vaporwave, electro, and beats. His musical influences span from the Black-Eyed Peas and Billie Eilish to Eric Satie and Claude Debussy, but his sound bends closer to Psalm Trees, Flapjacques & sometimes Jay Z. Given these diverse inspirations, it’s unsurprising how well he weaves together eclectic-pop vibes, hiphop grooves, hints of world music, jazzy passages, and subtle vocal threads.

The Calm Collective - Elysian

Playing on M.P.R Chill is the debut single from The Calm Collective entitled 'Elysian'.

 

 

Release date: Nov 1, 2024

In a world brimming with constant noise and distraction, Chris, the creative force behind The Calm Collective, invites listeners to step into an auditory sanctuary with his debut single, "Elysian." This enchanting energetic yet calming track is the first release from his debut album, Resonance, a project dedicated to soothing, inspiring, and connecting people through music.

In January 2023 fueled by a newfound clarity and a desire to share his sounds with the world, he set out to create music that offers a respite from the chaos of modern life. The Calm Collective was born from this mission, envisioned as more than just a solo endeavour. It is a collaborative platform designed to bring together like-minded musicians who share a passion for crafting music that heals, gives, feels and uplifts.

"Elysian," a name that evokes visions of paradise and serenity, perfectly encapsulates the ethos of The Calm Collective. The track weaves together ambient textures, Asian vocals, African instruments, and energetic rhythms to create a listening experience that feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

"Music has always been a refuge for me," Chris shares. "With The Calm Collective, I wanted to create something that could be a refuge for others. Resonance is not just an album; it’s an experience, a reminder that we all need moments of calm to find clarity and connection."

The debut album, Resonance, is a testament to Chris’s vision of music as a universal language of solace and unity. Through The Calm Collective, he aims to continue expanding this vision by collaborating with other artists who share his commitment to creating meaningful and restorative soundscapes.

"Elysian" is now available on all major streaming platforms. Fans of ambient, chill, melodic and soul-stirring music are encouraged to listen and join the journey as The Calm Collective grows and evolves.

2old2Kare - Reflekt

The track entitled 'Reflekt' by 2old2Kare is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Jun 30, 2023

2old2Kare, crafts music that draws loose inspiration from 90’s dance, incorporating samples and sounds to infuse depth and atmosphere into the compositions. His affinity for music traces back to an early age, during a time when vinyl and tapes dominated the scene, necessitating weeks of saving pocket money for a single purchase. In his late teens, he managed to accumulate enough funds to acquire a Commodore Amiga, marking the commencement of his electronic music journey. This evolved into a collection of samplers, keyboards, drum machines, and DATs, accompanied by numerous floppy disks and a tangled web of midi cables, all lugged around to various recording studios in London. Persisting for years at considerable personal cost, he found himself unable to fully cover the expenses. Consequently, in his early 20s, upon realising the potential for a stable income in design rather than music, he redirected his focus and never looked back.

The onset of the pandemic prompted him to react to the limited nature of time to achieve dreams and goals and that we realise this too late in life. He tentatively returned to music, initially experimenting with GarageBand, only to discover his continued proficiency. Encouraged by positive feedback on his tracks, he decided to invest in contemporary tools, leading to publication and subsequently becoming part of his artistic history.

2old2Kare prioritises the end listener, ensuring that the lossless sound and high production values make the music enjoyable for casual listening while maintaining excellence on a high-end hi-fi system.

2old2Kare has a singular purpose, which is happiness takes precedence, emphasising the importance of pursuing activities that bring joy and seizing every opportunity to shine.

EBlo - The Long Wait

Now playing on M.P.R Ambient is the latest track by EBlo entitled 'The Long Wait'.

 

 

Release date: Dec 6, 2024

"The Long Wait" by EBlo is a sonic journey through winter's duality-its serene stillness and the quiet chaos beneath. Opening with sparse, abstract piano notes that feel like the first hesitant rays of light across a frozen lake, the track invites you into a deeply reflective atmosphere. Ethereal layers of organ, pads, and distant synth textures unfold, creating an ambient cocoon that grows and swells into a crescendo of haunting beauty.

This crescendo isn't mere noise; it's a controlled tempest of sound-dark, mysterious, yet paradoxically uplifting. The chaos resolves into an almost luminous peace, embodying the tension between darkness and light, cold and warmth, isolation and comfort.

Perfectly suited for contemplative moments, "The Long Wait" is a soundtrack for staring out at frost-covered landscapes, coffee in hand, while dreams quietly form and evolve. It resonates with those who find beauty in the stillness and mystery of the season.

EBlo is an English musician based in Sweden creating ambient and textured soundscapes. Throwing out the rule book and creating music that covers a wide range of genres from ambient electronic to stirring classical.

Heavily inspired by his love for storytelling through film, tv and game soundtracks he creates both sonically and visually.

This can be seen fully when he performs a live visual audio show in which he plays his music to his own visuals that he creates.
