In addition to having sections for Artists and Releases, we also have a tagging system. For example, you can see everything tagged with Industrial or everyone involved who owns their own label
Playful Tinkerings of Wondrous Noises by Jaki Herzlich has been released
"The variety of noises is infinite. If today, when we have perhaps a thousand different machines, we can distinguish a thousand different noises, tomorrow, as new machines multiply, we will be able to distinguish ten, twenty, or thirty thousand different noises, not merely in a simply imitative way, but to combine them according to our imagination." - Luigi Russolo

M.E.C.H.A. (Mechanical Exoskeleton: Cybernetic Humanoid Armaments) by Various Artists has been released
CONGRATULATIONS!
You're now a member of the 95th brigade of the mechanized marines. This elite M.E.C.H.A. force has been put on full alert in quadrant nine. Before climbing into the M.E.C.H.A. cockpit, please review the following orders from your commander Major General Fiend (AKA: Ol' Noeyes)
The M.E.C.H.A. first appeared around 2023 AD. Initially introduced as a means of eradicating space pirates from the lunar shipping route, the M.E.C.H.A. soon became an integral part of the marine corps' mechanized forces, replacing the Firestorm TG-9 Solar Tank.
Becoming an elite M.E.C.H.A. warrior requires 1,000 hours of training in mock M.E.C.H.A. combat. Ninety percent of all marines who attempt to take their seat in the M.E.C.H.A. cockpit either drop out because of mental and physical fatigue, or are accidentally destroyed by their own incompetence.
Your objective: use your M.E.C.H.A.'s sonic maximizer to lobby for peace.

Dedicated to Social Worker Georgia Anne Brown by Cervine Birth has been released
"Dedicated to Social Worker Georgia Anne Brown" is a somber, yet beautiful tribute to the woman who put Roch Thériault, notorious leader of The Ant Hill Kids cult, behind bars
The Ant Hill Kids, named for their tireless work and unquestioning devotion to their leader, worshiped Roch as Moïse, the man chosen by God to lead the Jews out of Egypt. But instead of ending suffering, he would create it

Small Sounds for Small Bugs by Various Artists has been released
A compilation of 30-second tracks about bugs
Somehow, between now and the time that moon musiq was created under a year ago, we have managed to raise $1,000 for GEMS! According to the GEMS Donation page, this is enough to enroll 10 women in need into school. This generosity from all of the superb artists who have crafted and shared their sounds to the charitable donors and listeners has truly created a positive impact in this world. We are grateful to have helped to bring this together! Thank you all!
Also as a quick reminder, all of our music is pay-what-you-want. If you can't or don't want to donate, please grab any of our albums from our Releases section. Even adding them to your Bandcamp collection can go a long way in raising awareness for the wonderful artists who have worked with us as well as for GEMS and their mission.
Exotic Functions: A Very Friendly Tribute to Throbbing Gristle by Various Artists has been released
This compilation was put together by the members of the Yugo wave / dark wave / industrial / italodisco DEEP DIVE DISCORD to pay tribute to one of our favorite bands: the experimentalists, the pioneers of "industrial", the eternal legends, THROBBING GRISTLE.
Each of the covers and treatments found in this compilation put the classic sounds of Throbbing Gristle into a new context while keeping the essence of the originals. In a way, this is both an homage and an extension of the sounds that we love. And we hope you will love them as well.

Happy Thanksgiving! We just crossed the $500 threshold in sales on Bandcamp! According to the GEMS Donation page, this is enough to provide vocational training certification for someone in need. We are incredibly thankful for all of the talented artists who have contributed their excellent sounds, for all of our listeners, and for everyone who added our albums to their collections on Bandcamp or gifted them to friends. Thank you!
Just a reminder: all of our proceeds go directly to GEMS. If you decide to buy an album, victims of human trafficking benefit from the proceeds directly. You can also get free download codes on any page in our Releases section. Even adding our albums to your Bandcamp collection can help us to extend our reach to raise awareness.
And last, but certainly not least, be sure to follow the artists on our releases. Each one has a wealth of creativity that your ears and eyes will thank you for.
We now have an easy way to add our releases to your Bandcamp collection. Just click on the "Get a Free Bandcamp Download Code" buttons on any of our Releases.
Urban Graves for Feral Souls by Various Artists has been released
This compilation was put together by the members of the Yugo wave / dark wave / industrial / italodisco DEEP DIVE DISCORD. Under the theme of "WITCHES, WITCHCRAFT, and MAGICK", the members of this server have created some truly spellbinding sounds
The second moon musiq compilation is underway and will be finished in time for Halloween! The theme this round is WITCHES, WITCHCRAFT, and MAGICK.
We are also thrilled to announce that this compilation will mark the start of our fundraising and awareness campaign for Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS). For the last two decades, GEMS has been serving as the nation's leading organization for empowering commercially sexually exploited and domestically trafficked girls and young women. This is an important issue that we believe does not get enough attention.
So while all of our music will be 100% free to download, we will set all of our releases as pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp. Since we will be setting GEMS as the direct recipient, they will receive the maximum benefit from your support.
Be sure to follow moon musiq on Bandcamp and subscribe to moon musiq on YouTube to get updates for when new music is released.
