Mieko Shimizu to play Soho Electronic following the release of her powerful new EP ‘Breathe Out’.
This Saturday, 27th September, Soho will never sound the same again as Soho Electronic takes over All Is Joy, The Farsight Gallery, Below Stone Nest and Sneiderskeller with sets from Mieko Shimizu, Hawksmoor, Dhangsha, Bobby Barry, Elephant House and synth pioneer and electronic innovator Daniel Miller (Mute Records), who headlines with a rare UK solo modular set.
Mieko Shimizu is performing off the back of the release of her powerful new EP, ‘Breathe Out’. A boldly nonconformist Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and producer, Shimizu uses the EP to build on the success of her acclaimed album ‘My Tentacles’, which drew praise from Electronic Sound magazine and airplay on BBC Radio 6.
The new EP features two immersive tracks that showcase her signature blend of emotional depth and sonic experimentation. Dropping alongside a visually arresting music video by diz_qo, this project invites listeners on an immersive journey of texture, movement, and atmosphere, reaffirming Mieko Shimizu’s place as a pioneering force in avant-garde music.
‘Breathe Out’ echoes the light and sound that rise from the horizon, where humanity meets the boundless realms of gods and spirits, the veil between the earthly and the divine. Emerging as a sonic meditation in motion, ‘Breathe Out’ is a two-track EP that drifts between serenity and momentum. The ‘Breathe Out’ EP brings together two distinct yet complementary tracks that showcase Mieko Shimizu’s ability to create emotionally resonant, finely detailed music.
The title track, ‘Breathe Out’, unfolds with airy atmospheres, delicate sample percussion, and fast-moving flute melodies that weave like rushing wind through open space, creating a sense of release and expansion. Its counterpart, ‘Breathe In’, draws the listener inward, mirroring the first track’s fluid energy but with a more introspective pull, evoking the quiet rhythm of breath cycling back into the body. Together, the EP captures a dynamic tension between stillness and movement, offering an ambient journey that feels alive, transient, and deeply human, highlighting Mieko Shimizu’s unique artistic prowess.
Speaking on the release, Mieko Shimizu shares, “In Breathe Out, I wanted to echo the light and sound that rise from the horizon, where humanity meets the boundless realms of gods and spirits, the veil between the earthly and the divine.”
Mieko Shimizu’s ‘Breathe Out’ EP is out now via Street Records.
Reece Rosé is not trying to reinvent the wheel. He is here to remind you why it worked in the first place. With “Misbehaving”, the rising electronic artist taps into something instantly familiar, then flips it into a feel-good house cut that lands right where nostalgia meets the dancefloor.
Teaming up with Capri Everitt, Reece Rosé leans into warm textures and groove-driven production that echo the roots of early ’90s house and UK garage. The result is effortless but intentional. Smooth chords, playful rhythms, and just enough bounce to keep things moving without overcomplicating the mood.
“Misbehaving” plays like a memory you did not realize you still had. Late nights, no responsibilities, music loud enough to blur everything else. It pulls from that space where time felt slower but nights somehow lasted longer. “It’s a reminder of those carefree high school days, when life felt simple, the nights felt endless, and the only thing that mattered was the music and the memories we were making,” Rosé explains. And that feeling runs through every second of the track.
What makes it click is that it never gets stuck in the past. The influences are clear, but the execution stays sharp and current. This is not revival for the sake of it. It is a continuation. Rosé understands the DNA of dance music and builds on it, keeping the energy light, summery, and forward-facing.
That balance is quickly becoming his signature. With international airplay on Kiss FM UK and Insomniac Radio, plus support from names like AC Slater, Zeds Dead, Boombox Cartel, DJ Q, REH4B, and DJ Craze, his momentum is building in all the right places. On Beatport, his releases are already making noise, proving that his sound connects both in clubs and beyond.
“Misbehaving” does not try too hard. It does not need to. It is light, nostalgic, and built to move. The kind of track that makes you look back for a second, then pulls you straight into the moment.
