Nestled away in the heart of Osaka, Japan, lies a very special community of artists who nurture the cities unique ambient and experimental sound. It is here that you’ll find Andreas Holderbach, aka Dérive, co-founder/ curator of one of our favourite labels and biggest inspirations, Muzan Editions.

Last year, we had the pleasure of seeing Dérive perform a stunning ambient DJ set in the early hours of the morning at a Muzan Editions x Astral Industries event. Listening to this mix has been a really special way of revisiting that moment <3
