Japanese electronic producer Shigge and Filipino soul-pop musician Muri have finally unveiled “Golden Hour,” the radiant first track from their upcoming joint EP, SETSUNA, which is scheduled for release next month.
The poignant electronic song, which captures the ephemeral beauty of twilight—the moment when day gives way to night—acts as the gateway to the shared realm that Shigge and Muri created together.
“It’s the kind of song that lives in transition: when you wrap up work, call it a day, and grab a happy hour beer on a rooftop,” Muri shares. “It’s for that moment when the house DJ begins to play, and you let the music take you somewhere else. Everything else—your wins, frustrations, and should-have-beens, disappear into the sunset.”
Exuding warmth and airiness in equal measure, “Golden Hour” reveals its sophistication through layers of soft textures, downtempo rhythms, and breathy, emotive vocals. Shigge’s introspective production, and Muri’s soul-stirring performance transform the track into more than just mood music; it becomes a feeling suspended in golden light, both ephemeral and memorable.
The track was first conceived during an intensive songwriting camp at the AXEAN Festival in Bali, Indonesia last year, where Muri and Shigge crossed creative paths. What began as a spontaneous studio session has evolved into months of sonic exchange, with ideas bouncing fluidly between Tokyo, London, and Manila.
The cross-collaboration between the two artists yielded a 5-stop tour in between Tokyo and Manila, happening this July and August:
