Four new tracks carry a deep house style from the Berlin-based artist
The Snoofer is a new EP from Berlin-based artist Moomin. With a musical career that began collecting hip hop records, Moomin started to DJ in his hometown in Germany in 1995. Soon after, his small steps into experimentation with music production eventually grew, as he brought hardware into his practice, sampling jazz, funk, and hip-hop music from all of the records he had collected. Paving the way to his full transition to house music, he eventually moved from Kiel to Berlin to surround himself with the genre.
Moomin released his debut album in 2010, drawing positive attention from the German label Smallville records. Encouraged by the label to release a full-length album, Moomin released The Story About You in 2011. Subsequently, he released A Minor Thought in 2016, and Yesterday’s Tomorrow in 2018. With an extensive list of singles and EPs to his name, Moomin’s recent releases include For Willow from this year, Blackest Forest Ever—a collaboration with Julius Steinhoff released in 2020, plus Time Circle, A Day and a Night, and Concrete Grounds all from 2019.
The subtle, deep house style associated with Moomin are prominent in his latest release The Snoofer. The four-track EP begins with ‘For Willow,’ a relaxing and airy drum melody, overlapped with deeper drumbeats that roll listeners into the album. A remix of the track by Seb Wildblood follows, syncopating the rhythm of the original. The album’s title track ‘The Snoofer’ plus ‘Breathe’ keep the pace rooted in percussive drum sounds, floating with synth and bass to carry out the album to its close.
