Moonbootica - Save the Night

Double CD · Moonbootique Records (MOONCD04) · Release date: October 30th, 2009

Moonbootica will be celebrating their tenth birthday next year. Or rather, they won't. Contrary to expectations, there will be no megalomaniac, orgiastic über party. Not an echo of prosecco. No cheese on sticks or twiglets. Nada. Its business as usual. In traditional Moonbootica fashion, they simply keep on keeping on. As they have been doing since their inception in 1999, the Hamburg duo have, in the truest sense of the word, kept things simple - guaranteed to rock the party and keeping on keeping on is the Moonbootica mission statement that made them great. Onwards and upwards, breaking the borders and out into the night, the darkened hours which need to be saved. Hence the title of their new compilation applies to them and to everyone else. A call to duty and a mass appeal. As the man says at the start of the set: “We need you - you and us, we have to save the night (...) We still have to save the night, save the night, ... !”

bouq. invited some friends to contribute to the first family and friends EP on bouq. Records and the results were more than just pleasing. The Hamburg-based Samuel Kindermann, better known as Einmusik offered the tune “Jabloko” which has already been rocking the Ibiza floors for the last months and takes us on a lovley ride through the sound-universe. Grooving beat, feelful guitarre loop and distant, searching vocals, make this tune an emotional and unifying experience for the floors.
