About Us
A lot of people got Reggae and Punk music in their record shelves.
Some even add more styles, like 60ies Soul and Electronic music. We
belong to these people! And, when we look around at a concert, we
notice there must be more with a musical taste like ours. Is it just coincidence that the music industry often fails these
days to sell the expected millions of copies of their top sellers? We
don't believe that this ist just because of "piracy" and filesharing.
It's time to draw the logical conclusion. Music with no "commercial
potential" as defined by the majors might still have the potential to
satisfy the need for authenticity and artistic quality. One reviewer of our first release wrote: "This is music for grown-up friends of several subcultural styles". Yes, exactly!
Moanin' was founded in 2004 by two musicians who have played in
dozens of - mostly Ska- and Reggae - bands in Berlin. The label is open
for everyone who agrees with our "philosophy"... contact us and send us your music!
