Genre: House

1. Millenium
2. Days Gone By

'Millennium / Days Gone By' from 1999 is the second Moon Music release and is comprised of 2 cuts that boast Hester's production hallmarks - slick, glacial, minimal electronic Funk.

Paul Hester created his cult Moon Music label in 1997 as a portal for his own productions and sounds. The label was short-lived, with only 3 releases in it's catalogue, all produced by Hester himself. Those few releases on Moon are now sought after among House and Techno aficionados who are forever seeking that deeper groove. The interesting part of this story, beyond the music that was released, is that there are many other tracks that never saw the light of the day, thus leaving the full Moon story untold.

A-side 'Millennium' is a driving, chopped up groove that just swings in the best possible way. It's taut, with creeping synth sounds that gradually build into a soaring, synth fuelled bliss and vocal snatches.

'Days Gone By' mines a deeper furrow, a subtle, shuffling late night groove with a repeated vocal mantra speaking of 'a new generation'.
