“As I sit here
Waiting and wanting
Surrounded by the ambient blur of the city lights
Waiting at a stop sign
Wanting to go beyond.”


It is exactly this longing to go beyond, beyond the solitary musical journey, that brought these two very gifted artists from Kyoto to cross each other’s’ paths. Marihiko Hara and Masumi Muranaka (Polar M), the 2 seasoned musicians from Kyoto, after 10 years of admiring each other works, decided to take on a voyage together, and sailed beyond the charted territories of their music. And thus, the beautiful result from this wonderful voyage - a special collaboration album entitled “Beyond”, was born.

In this album, both artists went beyond their own borders, over their perceived views, across existing ideas and ways of thinking, to allow their emotions to flow freely in the music making process. As a result, Marihiko, with his gorgeous piano touches, and Masumi, with his heart-felt guitars, jointly crafted the 10 delicate, and breath-takingly beautiful music pieces.

Traces of elegant post-classical, sweet-sounding folktronica, dreamy ambient, and even blue-ish jazz, can be found in this sound-rich album, with all elements masterfully blended together to create an exquisite music listening experience. Piano melodies that drifted in like fireflies at night, layers of guitars that painted the backdrop soundscapes, drips of tiny electronics, spaces between the notes…. The exquisiteness in music that created by Marihiko and Masumi’s wonderful talents are simply beyond words.

Mia Cabalfin, the renowned contemporary dancer from Philippines, who befriended the artists when they composed the music for her residency performance in Kyoto in 2012, lent her beautiful voice in spoken words for 3 amazing tracks. The album is mastered by Tokyo’s renowned musician and sound engineer, Chihei Hatakeyama, and features photos by prominent Japanese photographer Marisa Shimamoto, and designs by Itsuka Sato of sonihouse.

Euseng Seto aka Flica needs no introduction to the indie electronic scene, especially for the fans of mü-nest label. After his exquisite "Betwixt" EP released by mü-nest label in early 2021 (as part of the label’s “Music For Home” series - listen to the series >here<), the prolific artist followed up with a number of singles and EPs throughout the year.

As the new year arrives, he again returns to his home label with a breathtakingly beautiful remix single – an imaginative rework of label mate D & The Compass’ IDM infused track “La luna”. Sitting down on a hill after dusk, seeing the city skylight with full moon hang on the night sky, cars passing by from faraway street, and street lights twinkling from far distance, Flica used these scenery as the inspiration to rework D & The Compass’ track into a calm, minimal, waltz-like rhythm piano piece, resulting in a striking sonic difference to the original track that was filled with psychedelic IDM grooves.

La luna (Flica’s Moonlight Remix) is the second instalment in a series of re-imagining and re-work of selected tracks from mü-nest label's "Music For Home" series.

Going Sideways

相繼為日本影音藝術家okamotonoriski和馬來西亞電子氛圍音樂人Flica製作了一曲又一首細膩動人的混音單曲后，馬來西亞的新古典鋼琴師Shuzhen（陳淑楨）再度與mü-nest廠牌合作，這次是將馬來西亞獨立搖滾樂團阿爾梵（ARVAN）的音樂進行全新演繹，將其做出一種全然不同的風格。

Shuzhen以獨特的音樂視角，將阿爾梵的《沙漠》從原曲中的暗黑Emo蛻變為都市時尚的簡約浩室（Minimal House），打造了這首絕贊的混音作品《沙漠（Shuzhen’s Oasis Rework）》。在簡練而有力的電子節拍的引領下，阿爾梵主唱Aki深情的歌聲與之交織，創造出一種溫暖而富有活力的音樂氛圍，彷彿身臨其境，感受午後陽光的呼吸，與音樂共舞。這首時尚的混音作品讓人不禁想起英國二人組合Everything But The Girl的Ben Watt在Buzzin' Fly廠牌時期所發行的絕贊舞曲作品。

「我⼀直都想要做讓⼤家起舞的⾳樂」Shuzhen說起她這次的⾳樂新⽅向。

這次的演繹賦予阿爾梵的音樂全新面貌，將電子音樂的流暢和時尚感貫穿其中，同時融入Emo搖滾的獨特情感。作為一次音樂的蛻變，《沙漠》的重生版也是情感與時尚相互交融的獨特體驗。當午後之韻輕輕響起，大家隨著節拍的躍動，是時候準備好感受電氣時尚與Emo搖滾的相互交織，讓我們再次為音樂起舞。

此混音作品也是由馬來西亞獨立音樂廠牌mü-nest 策劃的「ARVAN’s Rework」⾳樂企劃裏的第二首作品。

Following a string of exquisitely crafted remixes for renowned Japanese audiovisual artist okamotonoriski and fellow Malaysian electronic ambient musician Flica, neo-classical pianist and multifaceted producer Shuzhen reunites with the esteemed mü-nest label, this time embarking on a fresh interpretation of the music by Malaysian independent rock band ARVAN. Shuzhen's artistic lens brings forth an entirely new stylistic incarnation, transforming ARVAN's "Desert" from its original dark and emotive emo-infused core into a sleek and classy deep house gem, a remarkable remix aptly titled "Desert (Shuzhen's Oasis Rework)."

Guided by concise yet potent electronic beats, Aki, the lead vocalist of ARVAN, intertwines her soulful vocals with Shuzhen's vision, conjuring a warm and vibrant sonic atmosphere that transports listeners to a place where they can bask in the breath of afternoon sunlight and dance in harmony with the music. This fashionable remix undeniably brings to mind the exceptional dancefloor productions once graced by Ben Watt (of the awesome Everything But The Girl) during his Buzzin' Fly label time.

"I've always aspired to create music that makes people dance," shares Shuzhen, revealing her fresh musical direction.

This reinterpretation bestows ARVAN's music with an entirely new facade, seamlessly blending the fluidity and contemporary appeal of electronic music with the distinctive emotional essence of emo rock. As a musical metamorphosis, this rebirth of "Desert" becomes a unique encounter where emotions converge with style. As the rhythm of the afternoon gently reverberates, it is time to prepare oneself for the entwining interplay of electric fashion and emo rock, to once again immerse ourselves in the joyous dance of music, and into the vibrant indie club sounds from South East Asia.

This remix also serves as the second installment within the musical project "ARVAN's Rework," curated by Malaysia's independent music label, mü-nest.

Little Moon Boy

"Boy 1 EP" by Akitsugu Fukushima

- Embrace the ethereal realm of electronic music with "Boy 1 EP," a mesmerizing creation by the Japanese musical prodigy, Akitsugu Fukushima, featuring vocals by an AI songstress.

- From the mind of Akitsugu Fukushima, the maestro behind modern Hong Kong cinema scores, comes the globally accessible "Boy 1 EP," a symphony of dreams in electronic soundscapes.

- Experience the pulsating journey of adolescence as envisioned by Japanese musical virtuoso Akitsugu Fukushima, who melds electronic beats into a cinematic, post-classical narrative.

Heralding a new era of electronic music genius, Akitsugu Fukushima (also known as Aki) hails from Japan. He's composed scores for numerous contemporary Hong Kong films, including the critically acclaimed "Youth," "Madalena," and "Our Eighteen," - which received nominations at the 58th Golden Horse Awards. His compositions have also been featured as official soundtracks for promotional videos at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Golden Horse Film Festival (2020/2021). 

Notably, Aki's musical prowess has earned recognition from renowned Icelandic musician Ólafur Arnalds, who selected him as one of the winners at his music workshop. Aki's delicate yet vivid compositions breathe life into films, resonating within their frames.

The mastering of "Boy 1 EP" journeyed to Japan, under the expert hands of renowned musician Kashiwa Daisuke, known for his contributions to Shinkai Makoto's film scores and his role as a judge at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

Adorning the album cover is a serene portrait of a boy, delicately illustrated by Macau-based artist Xiao Yu, infusing the release with spiritual grace.

I am very happy to announce that my new single "Afterglow" is out today and available on all platforms! This song was written in just two days, driven by pure inspiration and enthusiasm after returning home from the Camino de Santiago. The title "Afterglow" symbolizes the unique atmosphere and feeling that remain after completing an important journey, both physical and spiritual. The track reflects the emotional imprint left by the experiences, challenges, moments of joy, and self-discovery throughout the journey.

For the cover art, I chose to scan the stamps I collected in my pilgrim's passport along the Camino, placing them at the heart of the design. Each stamp holds deep memories and experiences from the path.

I hope you enjoy the track, and a huge thank you to my friends for your constant support!

Half Full

Two years have been passed since Dae Kim’s debut effort, "Solace", was released. In need of diversion, he drew attention to circumstances that was unusual to his forte, ranging from producing for singer-songwriters to several yet to be released projects. The exploration, in which allowed him to diversify and improve his compositional ability and musicianship that obeys electro-acoustic driven solo efforts, ended with Dae’s latest single, Clemency (Memoir Music label). To embellish his carefully curated discography, he returns with the latest EP entitled, “Redemption”.

To quote Dae, “Three months of grieve and isolation has gifted me with three beautiful songs. They were two years more mature and wiser than my debut album. A work that held its obedience to the writer’s instinct holds honesty, that is incomparable. I proudly present the EP with full ride and confidence, and that there are nothing more to change and polish. I won’t touch even a single note”.

This EP was mastered by Tokyo renowned mastering engineer / recording artist Chihei Hatakeyama.
