Metonic Records

Metonic Records, a Brooklyn based independent music label founded by Manuel T. Engel - in collaboration with the Trash KollekTiv - in early 2005.

The moon circles the earth around 13 times a year while the earth travels around the sun. The points where the orbit of the moon intersect the Ecliptic are called the south and north lunar nodes – also known as the Metonic Cycle – move slowly in retrograde motion on the Ecliptic. These nodes complete one circuit of the Ecliptic in about 18.4 years. This cycle is what makes it possible to predict Eclipses, which happen when the new or full moons occur close to the nodel crossing points.

Each album release takes one on such a journey. Metonic Records promotes Experimental/Ambient/Dance Electronica as well as Modern/Free Jazz, providing inspiration to those willing to expand and effect change.
