BDN 002LP
|
"Eleven, deft, darkly-lit, sometimes despairing soundscapes by the Osaka-based producer, for his third album. 'The thoughts of a rebellious spirit are always accompanied by music,' he says. Esto, existence."

BDN 001LP

"Tripped out dune electronics incorporating organic drone and layers of noise with a rhythmic urgency. Washed out guitars and synths bursting in and out of the foreground. It is hard to define what is 'real' and what is 'synthetic' in this beautifully immersive space created by Ryo Murakami, and that it was makes his debut album for Bedouin worthy of many repeated forays into his world."

CURLE 034EP
|
Japanese producer Ryo Murakami first got noticed by Steve Bug, who released tracks from him on Poker Flat and Dessous. But it was the first record on his own Pan Records that totally convinced Curle Recordings to ask him for demos. In the meantime, Ryo also released music on fine labels such as Quintessentials and Baud. Here are two brilliant Detroit-inspired deep house tracks, backed up with a remix from Fred P. from Soul People Music in New York.

PANRECORDS 001
|
Ryo Murakami has his own label, Pan Records. This release is a 4-track EP that contains a remix of "Lunch Of God" by STEREOCiTI that is deep and atmospheric. The rest of the EP sees Murakami ride on some slow dub and deep beats next to another track full of head-spinning synths.

QUINTESSE 012EP
|
Ryo Murakami has previously released on labels like Dessous and Pokerflat, and here presents his first 12" for Quintessentials. "Lunch Of God" is a deep, raw and reduced house track with a strong U.S. flavor that was already featured on Jus-Ed's Underground Quality radio show. Ryo reduces even further with "Depths," a basic, kickin' techno track. The "Lunch Of God" remix by house master Scott Ferguson keeps things close to the original, but adds more club feel.

PAN 000EP
|
"Ryo Murakami, who's recent releases include Dessous and Moriss Audio and is known for leading the younger generation of artists, announces his newest release on his very own label Pan Records. The promo is already being heavily played on the Jus-ed radio show. The tunes of the analog drum machine coming from the bottom of the deep seas along with our friend Amr's quiet yet crazy voice sampling echoes on A1's 'Lost It' and a deep arrangement is added to the coupling track 'Dive A Elevate.' The fat analog synthesizer by Dublin's Lerosal that resembles Chicago and Detroit sounds are remixed with the rhythm machine's low range sounds. The sense of flow from beginning to end is at 90.5. The complete 4 songs are sent from Tokyo out to the world scene." On white vinyl.

PFR 095EP
|
Tokyo's Ryo Murakami presents Down The Sky, coolly influenced by old school house and recent European forays into night music. Ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped-down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. Greek maestro Argy creates a stunning hi-tech remix, complete with dub-influenced chord stabs and tripped-out washes of delay. "Coke" is a stronger, peak-time groove that never lets up, with layers of spaced-out, pitching fx. Brain-tingling.

DES 092EP
|
Ryo Murakami presents a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house with "Just For This." Graeme Clark aka The Revenge, a figure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties -- and a fine job he does, too! The mysterious third track, "Untitled," sees Ryo pushing things a little further still. The energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample-laden freshness.

DES 076EP
|
2007 release. Japan's Ryo Murakami presents Rise, his first full release on Dessous. A percussive beat gently moves the title track forward as an airy house chord nicely dances on the dark but deep tune. The Stockholm-based duo Bangana contribute a brilliant remix of "Rise." Murakami's second track, "Monument," is still deep and dark, but with a more house-y vibe. A brilliant debut by a promising talent!
