At the end of last month, the series posted a live set by Muzan’s own . t's been a while since we’ve seen a full live recording from Endurance in the wild. Trust us—it’s a real trip! We highly encourage you to head over to Kkum and give it a proper listen.
We’ve been huge fans of Kkum for a long time. The curation of their series is seriously incredible. The very first artist to appear in the series was of , and indeed it was Ario who became the catalyst for all of this coming together.
We did a show together last October with (the curator of Kkum and the owner of and it was a truly incredible meeting of minds. We’re delighted that this connection has continued to grow—and to deepen—in exciting ways since then.
Alongside the latest Endurance installment, we strongly recommend diving into KKUM’s back catalog as well, featuring stunning live sets from artists such as Doltz, Toki Fuko, HVL , among many others. Enjoy!

It’s been over a month since the Jo Johnson and Plant43 releases came out on Muzan, and honestly, we should have taken proper photos of these tapes much sooner to show them in all their glory.

Even if these glamour shots don’t fully capture the artistry—or the sheer uniqueness—of the music inside, more than a month on we’re still amazed and deeply honored that we were able to work on these releases with two singular artists we’ve followed for many years, and who have been huge inspirations to us.

In December, we were also lucky enough to share a show with both of them in Osaka, which felt like another cherry on top of a tower of cherries. Indeed, it’s cherries all the way down 🍒

So it feels only right that our first post of 2026 is a thank you—not only to Jo Johnson and Plant43, but to all the artists who have trusted us with their work, and to everyone who has listened, bought tapes, and come out to our shows. In a very real sense, Muzan wouldn’t have come this far without your support.

Thank you, truly.

We still have copies of the tapes available on our Bandcamp, and both artists also have copies up on their individual Bandcamp pages, which we’ll link below.

Plant43 - Immersed in Ancient Luminance

Muzan is extremely proud to welcome Jo Johnson and Plant43 to the label for the first time with two deeply immersive new albums.
tinysilences “Flow and Fracture”
is a continuous improvisation unfolding in connected movements. The track titles trace water’s transformation—from hidden depths to open skies—reflecting fluidity, non-linearity, and the quiet power of collective movement over rigid form.

created an expansive ambient work rooted in the living rhythms of the natural world. Inspired by the slow motion of waves, the quiet endurance of trees, and the distant glow of stars, the album unfolds as a deep meditation on breath—inhale and exhale guiding its form and flow.

Jo Johnson+ Plant43
Live at Compufunk 12/20 SAT 
21:30pm - morning
2500 JPY

Muzan Editions is thrilled to announce a special night at Compufunk featuring two of our absolute favorites: Jo Johnson and Plant43.

The evening opens around 9:30pm with a live ambient performance by Jo Johnson, whose path has moved from 90s punk (as guitarist in Huggy Bear) through underground techno into a deeply expressive electronic minimalism.

Later, Plant43 takes over with a live techno-electro set rooted in early electro and Drexciya-inspired machine funk. A co-founder of the Bleep43 collective, his releases span Ai Records, Semantica, and Cultivated Electronics — a sound shaped by decades inside underground dance culture.

Joining them are DJ Morita, DJ Compufunk, Muzan's Endurance, and, from Tokyo, SBAT, with live painting by Running Man. Expect the night to move from deep listening to electrified movement, all the way to sunrise.

The night also celebrates new releases from Jo Johnson, Plant43, and Endurance on Muzan - our first since last March - so when we say we're psyched we're PSYCHED!

Join us for this very special night~

夢山の100作目として、 による『Sound for Photo Exhibitions』をリリースできることを大変光栄に思います。
本作には、AOKI takamasaが自身の写真展のために制作した2つのトラックを収録。ギャラリーでループ再生されることを想定して作られており、鑑賞体験に音の奥行きをもたらすと同時に、AOKIの独自の美学が映像と音の境界を超えて広がっていく様子を感じることができます。さらに、デジタル版のボーナスとして、2008年に発表された「Solid Fusion」のedit版も特別収録しました。これら3つの楽曲はいずれも音の質感と空間の雰囲気を重視し、各パートが雲が風のない空で静かに形を変えていくように、ゆっくりと有機的に変化していきます。
夢山はAOKI takamasaの音楽を長年愛聴してきました。彼と実際に出会うずっと前からファンであり、ここ数年でご縁をいただき、親しく交流させていただく機会にも恵まれました。 がAOKIの直近の写真展のオープニングパーティーで2度DJを務めたほか、 はAOKI、 と共に定期的のアンビエント・パーティー「SLOWMOTION」を共催。そうした経緯もあり、今回の100作目は私たちにとって特別な意味を持つリリースとなっています。
カセットテープは現在完売しておりますが、デジタル版はBandcampにて視聴・購入可能です。

For Muzan’s 100th release, we are incredibly honored to present Sound for Photo Exhibitions, by the legendary AOKI takamasa.
AOKI presents two longform tracks originally created for his photo exhibitions over the years, designed to be played on loops at the gallery, adding a sonic depth to the viewing experience, as well as highlighting AOKI’s unique approach to artistic creation across mediums. As a digital bonus, we have also included a re-edit of his 2008 track “Solid Fusion”. All three pieces focus on texture and atmosphere, each “part” evolving slowly and organically into the next like clouds changing shape in a windless sky.
Muzan have been fans of AOKI’s work for many years – certainly long before ever meeting him – and over the past several years we have had the immense pleasure of getting to know him and work closely with him (Derive invited to DJ at two of AOKI’s last exhibiton openings; and Endurance co-organizing the longform ambient party, SLOWMOTION, with AOKI and Loe) making our 100th release even more special to us.
Cassette tapes are all sold out (for now), however the digital edition can be listened to and purchased on our Bandcamp.

We can’t believe it, but we’ve reached the milestone of 100 releases!! We want to celebrate this occasion with a surprise release.

MEDS100 AOKI takamasa - Sound for Photo Exhibitions

We’re honored that Osaka’s legendary Producer and DJ AOKI takamasa entrusts us with his first ever tape release. He’s been involved in the international electronic scene for more than two decades - sculpturing sounds for Alva Noto’s Raster-Noton, remixing Ryuichi Sakamoto and bringing the grooves to the dance floors worldwide.

EVERYTHING IS SPINNING - from the celestial bodies in our solar system to the smallest parts of our existence

These three compostions are being played continuously at AOKI takamasa’s new photo exhibition “Photography”. Music like a scent that floats through the air, creating a space of comfort .

Tapes and digital: https://muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/ or via our bio.

MEDS097 - MEDS099は、私たちにとって特別なリリースです。100作目目前の最後の3タイトルであることもそうですが、それ以上に、これまでで最も個人的な思い入れのある作品だからです。
この3本のテープには、日本の電子音楽シーンで活躍する12組のアーティストの音楽が収められています。彼らは卓越した音楽家であるだけでなく、大切な協力者であり、サポーターであり、そして何よりも、仲間です。私たち（アンドレアスと私）は今回の収録アーティスト全員と個人的につながりを持っていることに、心からの感謝と誇りを感じています。
夢山の活動（リリースにしてもイベントの企画にしても）は、周囲の人々の協力と支えなしには成り立ちません。だからこそ、今回のリリースは私たちにとって特別な意味を持っています。もちろん、世界中のアーティストとのコラボレーションを大切に思う気持ちは変わりません。しかし、夢山は基本的にはローカルなレーベルです。関西を中心に、素晴らしい才能、寛大さ、そして確かなビジョンを持つ人々によって築かれてきました。
そういう意味で、この3本のテープは、これまで私たちを支え、共に歩んできてくれたアーティストや友人たちへのラブレターのようなものです。彼らの存在が、私たちをここまで導いてくれ、そして今もなお、前へ進む力を与えてくれています。夢山は私たちの人生の中でかけがえのないものとなりました。それもすべて、日本のコミュニティの皆さんのおかげです。本当に、ありがとうございます！

This is a very special batch of tapes for us. Not only are these the last three releases before our 100th (!!!); but, more importantly, it is one of our most personal batches ever.
Here you will find music by 12 singular artists from within Japan's electronic music scene. In addition to being wildly talented sonic explorers, they are also colleagues, supporters, and friends. The fact that Andreas and I know each and every artist on this compilation personally makes us feel both grateful and proud.
Muzan's work - whether releasing music or organizing events - is made possible by the help and support of the people around us, which is why this particular batch means so much to us. It goes without saying that we deeply value our collaboration with artists from around the world; however Muzan is, at heart, a local label, founded on the talent, generosity, and vision of the people around us here in Kansai and beyond. And so this batch of tapes is, more than anything, a love letter to the artists and friends who have helped us come this far and who continually inspire us to keep on going! Muzan has become such a special part of our lives and we owe so much of that to our community here in Japan. Thank you all!
