about

As the label celebrates its 10th release, Moon By Day continues to solidify its reputation as a platform for dreamy, downtempo electronica and acoustic beats. At its core, the label showcases music from the heart, inspired from all around the world, and the debut EP from Louis Tobin aka MOONTIDE continues to embody this philosophy. As the EP title suggests, the Melbourne-based producer takes us on a journey of his 27th year, not only emotionally but also physically, with the tracks recorded between Central America and Australia’s Mornington Peninsula. Varied, yet coherent, Tobin explores the boundaries of downtempo electronica with this milestone release for the label.

Opening the EP is the sexy, yet emotive Amore, with its slinky, seductive pace and layers of string samples. With melancholy chords and cinematic crescendos, Broken is a high-energy, breakbeat- influenced cut, conveying a range of complex emotions. Lolite is both beautiful and driving with its heartbeat-esque rhythm and dramatic vocal samples. Both meditative and slightly eerie, The Only Wanderers is somewhat of a nod to the producer’s spirituality with its pulsating percussion and layered instrument samples from the didgeridoo through to the sitar.

Here is a little about the artwork from Jacqueline:

“This piece is the first of the series that I created! It is representative of the colour Red and the Muladhara (root) chakra. It is comprised of shades of red and imagery that is symbolic or resonate with the root chakra and what it governs in the physical body and life of its native. I've incorporated imagery like tree roots, blood platelets and cells, enlarged images of the inner body like blood vessels and a fetus, a moth emerging from its cocoon, people in tribal dress or costume, food, candy, water, fish and much much more. There are many layers to the piece and a whole lot going on! The more you look the more nuance you will find.”
