So what happened with Moonshine records?

When you go to their site, you end up on djmixed.com?

I haven't heard of any new releases either. What's up with them?

Moonshine Record went out of business several years ago. They were at one time the biggest and most respected Electronic indie label in America. Owned by Brothers Steve and Jon Levy (both originally from the UK) they had a great run. Trouble started around 2002 when their main distributer screwed them out of loads of money for product sold, that coupled with the downturn in Dance Music sales (today a sad fraction of the soundscan numbers dance did across the board up until 2001/2002)put them in bad shape.

They continued to release loads of compilations up until 2 years ago but then started stiffing people on the music they licensed in, it got to the point where no labels of any genre wanted to license them music for their Mix and DJ compilations. I believe DJ Dan was the last CD they properly released.

They kept selling the stock they had on hand and as it runs out it is gone.

Moonshine owners John and Steve Levy also own BPM magazine and the Djmixed.com brand , which is run by BPM, but Moonshine is gone.
