  the whole biography

  Now based in NYC after several years in Berlin, she earned a bright reputation in the scene as well for her long dedication to the dance music community and authentic love for music. With a broad style forged by long days of digging crates and stumbling upon all sorts of electronic music gems, mu”he’s techno sets move far beyond the latest subgenres, incorporating influences from 80’s Japanoise, 90’s old school rave and 2000’s left-field electronica. Her depth of knowledge allows her to build wide-ranging sets that meld cutting edge sounds with forgotten classics, interspersing tough physical grooves with moments of timeless dancefloor euphoria. mu”he’s style is imbued with the purpose of preserving the essential and treasured values of dance music that moves hearts and bodies irrespective of time period or genre. Moved in Berlin in May 2023, mu”he has been quickly booking appearances at some of Berlin’s best clubs and festivals across Europe in the last year–most notably: Berlin Atonal, Lunchmeat Festival, La Nature Festival, Whole Festival and an array of Berlin clubs including Berghain, Tresor, OHM and RSO. She continues to maintain a busy touring schedule in Asia as well, having toured Japan, China, Taiwan and Thailand in the last year. In May 2024, she founded her own label PARNASSUS with the vision of creating timeless dance music for bold, sexy, and free dancefloors and released her first EP featuring two original tracks and remixes by two of Japan’s most prominent producers: DJ SHUFFLEMASTER, a techno producer with close ties to Berlin’s legendary club and label Tresor since the 90s, and Mars89, a singular and important talent in Tokyo’s underground scene. 勢いを増す東京アンダーグラウンドクラブシーンの最前線で高い評価を得るmu"heは、2018年から東京の名門テクノクラブ「VENT」のレジデントを務め、幅広い選曲と深い音楽的洞察力で揺るぎない存在感を築いてきた。現在はベルリンを拠点とし、ダンスミュージックコミュニティへの長年の献身と音楽への真摯な愛情から、高い注目を集めている。 mu"heの音楽スタイルは、長い歳月をかけてレコードを掘り起こし、多彩な電子音楽を発見してきた経験に基づく。彼女のテクノセットは80年代のノイズ・エクスペリメンタル、90年代のオールドスクールレイブ、2000年代のレフトフィールド・エレクトロニカといった幅広い影響を取り入れ、最先端のサウンドと忘れ去られた名曲を融合させる。タフでフィジカルなグルーヴとダンスフロアの高揚感を織り交ぜながら、ダンスミュージックの本質的な価値を追及する。 2023年5月からベルリンを拠点に活動を開始し、Whole Festival、Berlin Atonal、Lunchmeat Festival(Czech)、La Nature Festival（Belgium）といったフェスティバルや、Berghain、Tresor、OHM、RSOなどベルリンの主要クラブでのプレイを次々と実現させている。アジアでも精力的にツアーを行い、昨年は日本、中国、タイ、台湾を跨ぐアジアツアーを成功させた。 2024年5月には自身のレーベル「PARNASSUS」を立ち上げ、「大胆で自由なダンスフロアのためのタイムレスな音楽」というモットーのもと1st EPをリリース。オリジナルトラック2曲に加え、ベルリンのレーベルTresorと親交の深いプロデューサーDJ SHUFFLEMASTERと、東京のアンダーグラウンドシーンで重要な存在であるMars89によるリミックスが収録されている。
