MOONJUNERECORDS came into being in 2001. The company represents the fruition of vision from entrepreneurial producer, tour manager & promoter Leonardo Pavkovic(see also MoonJune Bookings, for info regarding MoonJune Bookings), and draws its name from Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt’s famous 1970 epic, «The Moon in June.» MoonJune has already established its’ pedigree with«in-the-know» progressive music fans. The focus of MoonJune is to discover and release music by artists from a variety of international settings — exploring the expanding boundaries of genuine, challenging, «non-over-produced music» that cannot be easily categorized into any specific format or genre. The ongoing goal of MoonJune is to support music that transcends stylistic pigeon-holing, but operates within an evolutionary progressive musical continuum that places jazz at one end and rock at the other. The ever-expanding boundaries of these two musical categories have since come to include everything from progressive rock to ethno-jazz, from experimental avante-garde to jazz-rock, and anything in between.
