A project by Brazilian producer and multi-instrumentalist Rafa Mura, Shimizu creates music which feels like a warm hug. The project was created to release his collaborations with different artists from the Berlin scene – “sad songs to dance to”. Heavily influenced by Brazilian music, he moved to Berlin at 18 to study Computer Science, developing a recording studio in his old dorm room. After dropping out of college to pursue a music degree, Rafa has already worked with various independent Berlin staples such as Aka Kelzz, Rosa Landers, Ish, Devantier Rain, Cesco.blz, Moussa.s, and more. Rafa seamlessly blends his passion for analog and electronic music, playing most instruments of his songs himself, and often resampling his own songs to create something new.
