Takuya Matsumoto

**Takuya Matsumoto** is a Japanese electronic music producer and DJ known for his immersive, analog-driven soundscapes that bridge house, techno, and ambient. With releases on respected labels like Mule Musiq and Mule Electronic, his work—including the dreamy *Places Of Colour EP* and the hypnotic *RAM*—showcases a knack for blending minimalist grooves with rich, atmospheric textures. Tracks like *Assembly* and *EKR's Galactic Dance* (a collaboration with Eiji Kudo) highlight his love for retro-futuristic vibes, often nodding to ’80s and ’90s electronic influences.

A master of mood, Matsumoto’s music feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, whether he’s reworking older material (*Drafting Under the Stars (Remaster)*) or crafting beat-focused journeys like *Tape Is Rewound*. His EPs, such as *85-88* and *90 - 93*, suggest a fascination with eras that shaped electronic music, all while keeping his sound firmly rooted in the present. For fans of deep, introspective dance music, Matsumoto’s catalog is a treasure trove of warm synths, dusty rhythms, and cosmic vibes.
