“In 2019, we’re getting set to enter a new era of Moonbase.”– Purple Sneakers
“He’s become known not just for his heaviness as a producer, but as one continually pushing the boundaries of sound design on electronic experimentation.” – Pilerats
“Vintage Moonbase – his patented dark, booming aesthetic, a mix of industrial beats, ear-bleeding drones, and a peer into the sonic dimension he reigns over supreme.” – 27 Magazine

Enigmatic Sydney producer Moonbase today continues his return to form with the release of his second EP of the year – COMMANDER I – featuring the grime heavy feature single, ‘SYD 2 LDN.’
Moonbase’s love affair with UK hip hop continues in ‘SYD 2 LDN’ as he teams with respected emcee MAXSTA to produce a track that’s as alert as an air raid siren – the beat-maker continuing to establish himself as one of the trans-continental champions of grime spreading throughout the Commonwealth.

Having only just released the Avalanche EP in May, Moonbase is a man on a mission as he looks to regain the ground he lost in 2018 when he was forced to take a hiatus from music after suffering from a brain tumour. On the COMMANDER I EP he’s back to his electrifying best with a record that sees him unleash his signature, future bass sound while continuing to explore the realms of music and genre within which he can utilise his tools.
Take for instance the haunted carousel ride that is ‘AEROTHEURGE,’ or the ethereal ‘GRATEFUL’ featuring the auto-tuned R’n’B vocal stylings of IE. Then there’s the previously released Moonbase signature single ‘DUMMY.’ Each track is distinctly unique, all the while flowing with the same creative potions that are pure Moonbase and his audio chemistry kit.
As its title suggests, this new EP is one in a back to back series of COMMANDER EPs, with COMMANDER II set to drop later this year, and keep his prolific release schedule ticking over.
“I’m very proud of COMMANDER I. The EP was written throughout a period of newfound personal strength and clarity, and marks a return to artistic form for me. Aside from the instrumental tracks, I’m incredibly humbled to have collaborated with Maxsta, I.E.and i.amsolo – their work is nothing short of inspiring.” – Moonbase.
Having already worked with the likes of Anderson Paak, Cakes Da Killa, Miss Blanks, DVNA and Merky Ace, as well as having received accolades from international outlets like Pitchfork and Skrillex’s taste-making blog Nest HQ, Moonbase has always been recognised as a beat-maker that turns heads and takes names. On COMMANDER I, we’re seeing the man retake his throne as Australia’s most exciting and versatile producer. Be sure to stay tuned for COMMANDER II.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
