Cool Cool Death – New Creation by Mujuice

Inspired by Chopin's waltzes, which his mother played for him in early childhood, Roma Litvinov began his musical experiments by composing small piano pieces. As a teenager, he played in a hardcore band. His search for alternative paths in electronics soon led to it prevailing over rock music. From the very beginning of his relationship with electronics, he began to work with the micro-sampling method, preferring it to the cold dryness of digital synthesizers. He remains faithful to sample-delicacy to this day.

Mujuice's debut album, touching, strange, and infantile Superqueer, released by Moscow's V135 in 2005, was favorably received by critics and the public. It showed potential and was approached with interest and trust. Thus he began playing in clubs and at festivals of contemporary and multimedia art, performing polystylistic live sets of pseudo-symphonic, 8-bit, IDM, and glitch music.

In 2006, the young musician released the EP Still on the net-label Fragment – a transparent, atmospheric, romantic, and elevated deep techno release that more than fulfilled the expectations placed on it. At the same time, in collaboration with DJ Dzhem, Roma released a split with soft, warm click&cut jazz. Soon after, the vinyl Monochrome EP was released on Anton Kubikov's label Pro-Tez, contributing to his reputation as a promising techno producer. However, he himself is an opponent of genre labels and clichés, asserting that a modern artist should use all available means.

After a year of silence, Mujuice releases his long-awaited and unexpected album. Cool cool death. Tender and sharp, exquisite and sincere, fragile and aggressive; embellished with sharp but warm breaks, openness in lyrics, and careful consideration of words. Eclectic aesthetics of psychedelic punk and 90s hard-hop. Dream pop and grunge. Glitch rock from shards of information, poetics of digital messages, decadence, pop art, and magic.

"I wanted to preserve and convey my feelings of how music sounded in my player during childhood. I wanted eclecticism, but rather, internal, though I was meticulous: I sought those very snare drums and raw basses that broke my heart back then. I passed synths through guitar FX processors and the guitar – on the contrary, directly; I recorded my voice through headphones. I wanted to be reminiscent of everything that helped me back then. And what I so miss now: tenderness and aggression, isolation and attention. I tried to be on the border with overproduced rock albums of the 90s, but at the same time, I tried to pay serious attention to the lyrics."
