The Dutch producer looks to his personal experiments as he focuses on solo releases

Murakumo has been a quiet side project for Luuc O over the past few years. The producer stood out for his contribution to the now retired IDM duo known as Ludique, and made a name for himself in the electronica community of Groningen in the Netherlands. Between preforming marathon DJ sets across the city, the artist would occasionally tinker with flavours of glitch, techno and UK garage. This aside into private work and experimental sampling would invariably end up stored on a pocket size USB, gradually planting the seeds for a new venture into the electronica scene, now coming to fruition.

The reclusive artist has finally begun to open up a little more, sharing his thoughts and ideas with the release of ‘Identical Days’ in December. The collection is a five track EP which delivers stirring but melodically smooth IDM, clean percussion sliding alongside mellow synth and low bass.

‘Identical Days’ gathers sounds of meditative future garage, and tinkers with ambience vibrant with character and stirred by manipulated vocals. Our featured track ‘Walk in the Park’ shimmers with light percussion, cosmic but cooling.

It’s a step away from the previous sound explored with Ludique, and a chance to wander in a fresh direction.
