SATOSHI & MAKOTO - Mirage Cafe

Format: LP
Catalogue No.: 8MM072
Release Date: 24 Apr 2026
Genre: Experimental/Electronic

Two Japanese house mainstays come together six years after their last full-length for another deep dive into electronic fusion on Cafe Mirage. 'Diverge Grid' begins with lush synth chords and soft arps that unfold like a spring morning before the ambient-laced 'Filter & Flutter' suspends you in more wispy cosmic charm and 'Slow Dissolution' is a crawling neo-funk sound that XL Middleton could have penned. The unhurried pacing continues on the flip side with dubby undercurrents and freeform synth modulations melting the mind. Downbeat gem 'Passages' and widescreen synthcape 'Mata-Ashita round out an immersive, calming album.
