             microcastle's second offering of 2022 welcomes Mulya back to the 
             label for a new EP. Based in Budapest, Hungarian artist Mulya 
             brings an inventive approach to his brand of electronic 
             composition. Throughout his varied discography, he touches on 
             disparate themes and sounds, straddling a divide between 
             intergalactic design and indie-inspired beats, often mixing both 
             into one amorphous, unclassifiable sound of his own. As a 
             favourite of Ame, Dixon, Fideles, Frankey & Sandrino, Innellea, 
             Trikk and more, Mulya made his microcastle debut in July of 2020 
             with 'Chrome Extra'. The five-track showcase was a prime example 
             of the Hungarian's creative attitude, ultimately leading to 2021 
             projects via Innervisions, TAU and his own Complaint Kulture 
             imprint. Having gotten the year underway with '#SENDBRO', a 
             joint effort with fellow countryman and Complaint Kulture 
             partner Sobek, Mulya now makes a welcome return to microcastle 
             with 'REM'. 

             Picking up on the themes he brought to his label debut, Mulya 
             has created five new tracks rich with spirit and allusion. 
             Beginning with the panoramic synth textures and haunted 
             minimalism of 'REM', an unexpected shade is revealed through 
             wailing horn-like drones and celestial sonics. Evoking a 
             dystopian style ecstasy, this Echonomist and Innellea favourite 
             proves once again that the most astute artists often find a way 
             to the finish line, where the whole is greater than the sum of 
             its parts. Meanwhile, 'Inner Circle' plunges us into the 
             wormhole, collapsing under its own gravity as momentum builds 
             and pyrotechnic synths steal the air, eventually breaking into a 
             hyperventilating helium rush of clattering percussion and 
             rolling rhythmic structures.

             Moving forward with 'Free Falling', Mulya sustains an 
             understated yet confident club energy. Dark rebounding rhythms 
             and grungy basslines set the course for snatches of disembodied 
             voices and satellite-like bleeps. These echoes of 
             extra-dimensional sound salvage bring forth the unshackled mind 
             melt of the aptly titled 'Astral'. Mulya's relentless curiosity 
             for rhythmic and harmonic experimentation basks in 
             retro-radiance here, as a delirious blur of broken beats, 
             metallic fragments and acid-laced machine funk emerge from their 
             sci-fi saloon slo-mo showdown. Rounding out the collection and 
             sitting on a modern psychedelic perch of its own are the 
             eternally fresh aesthetics and eager optimism of 'Cosmos', a 
             feel-good jaunt that breaks into a rich textural rain of melodic 
             colour, where euphoria awaits with arms raised and eyes closed.
