Arts The Beatdoctor
Arts the Beatdoctor is a Dutch producer from Utrecht, The Netherlands. With his debut EP “Fragments” in 2006, the beatdoctor showed his musical diversity with a collection of jazz inflicted hip-hop tracks which were mostly characterized by their nightly atmosphere. With his full-length debut album “Transitions” in 2007 he continued on this road in a truly original way. The album featured 15 tracks, and was the product of three years of sampling, tweaking and composing. Comparisons to artists such as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and RJD2 spring to mind with his blend of atmospheric and cinematic hip-hop beats. Apart from the aforementioned artists, Arts finds his inspiration in jazz and classical music.

Arts already has left a multitude of musical fingerprints on different hip-hop and non hip-hop projects. In 2003 he made his official debut by producing a track for Lord Cyrus “Diamonds R 4Ever” compilation, alongside MF Grimm and other American MC’s and producers. The Dutch scene however is where he got his first break. Pete Philly picked up one of Arts’ demo-tapes, heard the potential and eventually got him signed on Unexpected Records in 2006.

When confronted with questions about his persona, Arts always turns secretive. Some speculate his name comes from the Dutch word for doctor, which is somehow also “Arts”. Other than that, not much is known about him. It is however certain that he’s part of the new crop of talented artists coming out of Holland, among producers such as Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange and artists such as C-Mon & Kypski and Pete Philly & Perquisite.

Project: Mooncircle, as the name reveals, has been on a journey to the moon since day one, exploring the frontiers of music and art, always looking for new discoveries and giving a different perspective to look at the earth.

In it's 10 year history the label has published roughly 100 releases by equally as many artists from all corners of this globe and, therefore, the selection of sounds on this compilation represents the development of the label from the past, present and going into the future.
The box includes 4 vinyl LP's with 32 tracks, 15 additional digital bonus tracks, a T-shirt and a poster all in a specially designed box that features a special light-reflecting varnish, which makes this truly a collectors and music lovers item.

Furthermore, the box also features an exceptional selection of close musical friends and inspirational artists like Mike Slott, Diane Badié, Jehst, Dday One, Kwala and Ichiro_, just to name a few.

The logo and artwork represent someone who was very close to the label, especially in the early years but unfortunately passed on and whom this box is dedicated to.
