Since 1997 Matthias Tanzmann has been resident DJ at The Distillery in Leipzig, providing the soundtrack for nightlife there for over a decade.
Together with Daniel Scholz he founded Gamat 3000 at the end of the 90's. With releases on Dessous Recordings, Freude am Tanzen and FM Musik they quickly made a name for themselves in the German House scene. The duo even landed one of the club hits of the summer of '99, with the track 'Feeling Love'.
Matthias and Andrè Quaas (part owner of the Distillery) decided to start a new label which would offer a platform for Leipzig house djs and international producers. With the release of the Gamat 3000 - "Radio Moon" EP, the Moon Harbour label started along with the new millennium and received extremely positive feedback from the press and clubs alike. Matthias took over as A&R and Andrè now manages the entire administration of the label.
In 2000 Matthias made his debut as a solo artist and rapidly advanced to becoming one of the most booked German house DJs. He later became resident at Flokati (Munich) and Sternradio (Berlin), playing gigs from Moscow to Barcelona, Paris and London. As host of Moon Harbour Label Flights at the Distillery, Matthias recruited top international DJs to play, including Jackmate, Steve Bug, Jesper Dahlbäck and many more.
Together with Steve Bug or Daniel Stefanik, he has produced various quality EPs, proving two heads are sometimes better than one.
While over the years his tracks have developed from deep house through to minimal house bordering on techno. Tanzmann is all about the groove and normally finds it somewhere between house and techno.
